It should tljen aH; the p'reNident jii't exactly many oftfle jiresetit chairinfii of the %arinii' depart- menH at XCC hJ* intend^ v'eplacin? and why? The board might then, ju't .for finparisnn. inquire into how many chairmen oi depart- nifnts the new president of Duke University h^ replaced since he took ovt-r the helm of lAt i I s ot'XCC. Frankly, we are of the opinifm that Dr. Massie is trying hard to adjuit hini«elf to his new situation at SC.C and to rise to the ociasion. We honestly^belieiie that he want.s to fit into the slot and bcc'me a success as tht president of .VCC. In hi effnrts. at which tlwt institution at about the same time that DR Samuel Proctor Massie became president he appears to be working so hard, we are indeeil fnost symjiathetic. However, we have come face to face with the awesome question as to who. which or what is most im;>or- fant. Dr. ^[a.ssie. the trustee board or X. C. Odleire. In the solution to the serious strife and turmoil now existing under his adminis tration, we'have reached the final conclusion that X. C. College, as an educational institu tion. is more important than the face saving of its president or even the face saving of its trustee board. Either one is fit for certain tasks or one is not. It so happens that fate has decreed that the present president of XCC. as we understand, a first rate chenaist, has been mis takenly placed into the position of a college administratf/r. That he has proved to be un fit as a college president is no disgrace. The disgrace comes in keeping an otherwise good man in a position for which he is by nature unsuited. It is like trying to force a square peg into a round hole. In such instances one, so mi-iplaced. has about as much chance of surviving as a mouse in * cage of cats. .\s the situation now stands at NCC, the in stitution is in sad need tff a major operation. Whether or not sucli performed by the trustee board in removing Dr. Massie as jiresident of XCC. or by his volunta^T’ resig nation is of little cons^uencf. The operation must be performed sWd that quickly, if the cfdlege is to survive the ordeal through which it is now going. The Iwiir of decision at NCC has arrived. lielay in the matter is certain to ser a further decline and deterioration of what was once one of the most promising young educational institutions of the nation. 1 IN New President Vhe unaninmus election of Afe.x Quaison- Sackey of Ghana, as president of the United Nations on last Tuesday, comos at a time when tho^e of the .African nations, and mil lions of other non-white people throughout the world, are certain to feel more kindly dis[>oscd toward the U.X. Xaming of Quai- son-.'>3ckey was, therefore, a shot in the arm to the morale of the millions of under-privileg ed people now struggling for freedom all o»r the world. As we understand it, the new U. N. presi dent is well prepared for his position and will no dotibt lend dignity and bring success to the office. It should influence, to some ex tent, member nations like our own, where, in states like Xorth Carolinii Negroes are by art' unwritten law not only barred from the National Guard but barred from becoming members of the State Highway Patrol. It might not be a bad idea for Negro leiders of North Carolina, who Stood by the I^mocratic Party during the 1964 election, tf> let the governor-elect, who would have met certain defeat on last November 3, had it not been for the Negro vote, to get a definite understanding from the incoming administra tion as to where it stands on the matter of bifi G«Wrnoi^' fiw ?k)uth”, appearing in the current issue of Look magazine. There are certain portions of the article that will need “between the lines” reading if one is not to be entirely charmed by the superficial sincerity of the wifiter. On the surface the governor has done a lmost excellent piece in portraying the ckange that is possible in the philosophy and flunking of a southern born and southern rear ed white man. On the other hand, he raises sfark suspicion in the minds of many of his Negro admirers when he, says for a truth that, “North Carolina, without court order - a|id on its own initiative,- repealed the color bin of the National Guard.” 'fThe truth of-the matter is that the General /fcsembly of North Carolina only acted in ri^ealing the color bar, and that quickly, victim it was discovered that Negroes were I^eparing action in the federal courts to at- tlick the segregated policy of the National Guard of North Carolina. With the color ban r«pealef, far as the written law' was con cerned,.^embers of the legislature were given t^ undentand that the "unwritten law” bar- V/W wnm /s seTTUD mmi iris ^ J£TTt£P RIGHr.

Through Jesus Christ the Savior We Are Healed and Made Whole "H* WM dtllvifd to for 'ooi* misdeeds." Rom. 4:25 Jesus, Son of God Almighty, died on the cross to save our souls from the wretchedness of human sinfulness. And in this atoning sacrifice God gave the essential spiritual solution to man’s basic problem. What is man’s real problem? "Man’s prob lem in essence is the inescapable fact of his sinfulness. And here we see God in the rich abun dance of^ his love, writing the prescription for the healing of our soul sickness. And here we have the real Good News. "He was delivered to death for our sins.” Man, the sinner, needs Jesus Christ the Savior. Who can doubt that there is something wrong with man? The Bible pinpoints man's condition. Man through a willful act of rebellion and dis obedience to God the Creator lost his divine image. How well, it was blurred and marred by his sins. And thi« missing -of the , mark of his potentialities we call sin. Man, therefore, became iso lated from God the true ground of his being. As a consequence man in his state of estrangement and isolation from God the creator needs a savior. God in the fullness of tinfe sent his to die on the cross to redeem us from sin. Christ the Lamb of God “was delivered to death for our misdeeds.” Nw we have the world’s great est good news. A Savior has come. In Christ there is spiritual and moral healing for all man kind. In repentence toward God we can be free. In faith through Christ the Savior we are healed and made whole. Salvation, holi ness, is' wholesome. God’s , graci ous move to us in Christ lifts the burden of sin. And wtih this harden lifted we go on our way rejoicing. Out of Christ we suf fer from a bad case of moral sickness. In Christ the Savior we have healing with its peace, se renity, and tb«-new outlook of the new life in Christ. Yfis,' in Christ we have life aS'- God in tended that it should be—rich, abundant and eternal. Christ alone can bring satisfying, ful fillment to mankind. A yovBg student at Princeton University found this great truth recently. His studies had left him empty and restless. Then a teacher with a rare spiritual discernment led him to a satisfying fulfillment in Christ the Savior. ; Christ, the Savior, 1» man- kind’s hope as we walk precliri- ously on the brink of suicidal ruin. Christ is the one safe way for all mankind. He is .the ground of meaningful truth.. Abd above all Christ is the way.-Wty? Christ is the way for man for ,hr has conquered ’ man’s' ^ea^st enemies—Sin and Death!- Christ died to s^e man from the deathly sickness of staii'iln love Christ, waits to save: rind make us what we ought to be.' Governor Sanford's "NewSoutb^' iir look Hagazine t^ ptpite of ptlfe^y iyverfisements asking for new fecruj^s, , without saying “white recruits only,” there never has been uilto this day one Negro member of the North Carolina National Guard. Coming on the eve of his retirement as the governor of North Carolina, without the men tion of the National* Guarrf incident, the gov- enor’s article in Ldbk niight have been ac cepted as a most noteworthy effort at inter- ‘preting “The New South.” Whatever the governor’s objective or intentions might have been, we^re satisfied that there is truthfully in the making a new South, a South in which the coloir of a man’s skin, his raec or his re ligion will not bai^ him frotn full acceptance, not only into the National Guard «rganiza- tions of his state, but into every phase, of its endeavor. Thus it i » here in this region, so often cursed because of racism, that the citadel of Democracy or “that government of the peo ple and for the people,” irfll of them, will some day find its troie fodgitijr place.

Out of this seventy million, over five million have lost control over their drinking to the extent that it Interferes with job and family living. For each one of these five million alcoholics approximately five other family members, relatives and friends are affected either directly or indirectly. Iliat’s a total of fifteen million people in our country alone whose lives are disrupted to some degree by the excessive use of alcohol. Alcoholism is a family pr«b> lem, a community problem, a state problem and a national problem. ’The approach to the solution af this tremendous prob lem is a matter of eauewwnt of the layman as well as the pro fessional. We can all do some thing to help by changing our own attitudes through acquiring more information and under standing of alcoholism as an ill ness. We must accept the aleo* holic as a sick person who is worthy of help. IS ALCOHOL A STIMULANT? No. Alcohol is a depressant like ether. In fact, it was used by physicians as an anesthetic before ether was discovered. Al cohol depresses all centers of the central nervous syMera. de pending cm the indlvli^'a per* •onality, he may act'IHi^^ly, take social Ubertlet, iMconie oyer-talkative, lose norrrial i»> hjhitions and ^ome very db- (irtssive. Alcohol crcaUs a falsv Lettor To The Editor ’The President’s war on pover ty in this coitntry i.s one of the most commendable enterprises ever attempted by the American Government. Yet, it there is to be any lasting assault on this grievous condition, it must .seek to root out of this society an en tire environment not just the relief of the individuals. For the poor are sick in body^ and spirit. Disease and alcohol ism express a whole way of life and they are in the main of en vironment, not the biographic of unlucky individuals. Moreover, if statistics and so ciology can measure a feeling as delicate as loneliness, this coun try is becoming increasingly populated by those who do not belong to anybody or anything. For it is, indeed a blow to reform and the political hoper of the poor that the middle classes no longer undertsand that poverty exists. Thus, the horiion of the poor has become more and more restricted: they see one another, and that simply means, they see little reason to hope. One of the worst aspects of poverty among the aged is that these people are out of sight, out of mind and alone. Over the years social security payments have not even provid ed a subsistence level of life. Tiie middle clas.ses have been able to supplemenl their federal pensions through private plans negotiated by unions and through joining medical insurance schemes like Blue Cross, but the poor have not been able to do so. Tbey iead a bitteriiJife and have to pay for that fart in old age. Indeed, the paradox that a welfare l)enefits those lea.st who need help most is one of the IVi- stancs of persistent irony in American life. ~r That, however, is moije vex ing is the fact that many peo ple because of their social blind ness actually, although probably unwittingly, help to keep the poor down. One of their* argu ments usually is that the po>r are that way because they are afraid to work and prefer to live on the dole. The real reason why they are that way is that they made the mi.stake of being born to the wrong parents, in the wrong section of the coun try or in the wrong racial or ethnic group. They could have been paragons of will and moral ity, but most of them would never have had a chance, for the Negro, his poverty has an addi tional ta.ste of fear and hatred. Thus it gives Negro poverty a quality of psychological depth and torment that is unique. And, although it is important that the privilege of voting be won in every jurisdiction of the south, the real emancipation of the Negro waits upon a massive assault upon the entire picture of his poverty. His plight’ is so precious in this respect that even the book “Grapes Of Wrath” nor Edward R. Morrow’s movie, ‘The Harve.st of Shame,” could not truly depict it. JOHN WALLACE NICHOLAS Union, S, C. Veterans Questions and Answers Q.—I did not receive my check for last month, and I want to know why. A.—Wait a reasonable period of time- and- then^ notify the VA regional office having custody of your claim file. Make sure you furnish your claim i^umber and, if you have moved, give them both your old and new addresses. Q.—The envelope containing my check had the large letters "V-O” on it. What does that mean? A.—That is the way the postal authorities identify Veterans Ad ministration checks that are to be released for delivery on the 30th of the month. Checks are printed and shipped to key de- throughout the to the delivery livery points country 'prior date. Q.—I am a patient in this VA Hospital. How- do I find out if I am eligible for a pen.sion. A.—File application and re quest that your treatment re cords be requisitioned to supr/ t your claim that you are perma nently incapacitated for earning a living. The VA rating officials must al.so consider the amount and nature of military .service and type of discharge, amount of money you expect to receive other than from the pension, and your “net wor^tfi” and depend ency .status. VlfflHf (Hter Fditors are Saying THIRTY YtARS Unaccustomed as he is to pub lic critidfm, J. Edgar Hoover cuirtomarilr responds to its occa sional expression by inlpagning the integrity, virtue or patriot- Um of his critics. ’Thus, It was quite characteristic of him to denounce Dr. Martin Luther King (who had presumed to ques tion the FBI’s effectiveness re specting civil liberties in the South) as "the most notorious liar in the country." It was equally characteristic of him to call the Warren Commission “un fair and unjust” because it had gently chided the FBI for its role in relation to Lee ^rvey Oswald and'to refer to eiitinent judges, including members of the Supreme’ Court as "bleeding hearts” because they took a dif ferent view from his own in in terpreting certain clauses of the BHl of Rights. This kind of talk, if it came from any other bureau chief in any other department of the Federal Government, would be generally recognized as insuffer able effrontery on the part of a public servant. It is no less than that though it comes from the Director of the FBI. In the same interview, Mr. Hoover let it be known, as he baa done with equal candor ^the past, that the FBI Is tap^g lome- tblnf like 80 telephones contin uously and is using information obtained from this wire-tapping In connection with counter-intel ligence activities. There is no que.stion that his purposes are patriotic. But there is no ques tion, either, lhat he is violating an act of Congress. ^ Mr. Hoover is a subordinate official of the Department of Justice. The Attorney General mu.st, therefore, accept responsi bility for Mr. Hoover’s extrava gant talk and for his extra-legal action. It is time for the Attor ney General to exerci.se authority over a Bureau which has for far too long been run by Mr. Hoov er as though it were a sovereign principality. Mr. Hoover has held his office for 30 years. He has discharged his duties with probity, efficiency and the highest dedication to his country. His record is an ad mirable one, and Americans owe him great gratitude. But that gratitude cannot properly be ex pressed by allowing him to abuse his authority. That authority, by reason of its nature and its im pact on civil liberty, must be forever subject to re.straint. Un happily, Mr. Hoover has now demonstrated that he has been in office too long. His retire ment, when he reaches retire ment age on his 70th birthday, would be a contribution to his own high repute and to the wel fare of (he Bureau he has done so much to develop. —Washington Post feeling of “stimulition” wbil* in reality skills and abilities arc reduced much below normal lev els. IS ALCOHOLISM A DISIASIT According to the best scientific judgment of today, alcohoUm is a serious, but treatable, iUneia that may result in death or iiv sanity unless checked. In IWMI, the American Uedleal Association identified alcoholism as a complex lUness.

IS ALCOHOLISM CURAfeLBT Unfortunately, there is no cure for alcoholism. However, tike diabetes and tuberculosis, the illness can be arrested. The al coholic can recover and live a comfortable and happy life as long as he refrains from drink- ^g. To help him maintain his fobriety, he needs most of all sincere help, understanding and encouragement from family, as sociates and friends.
