Speaking for the board of directors, Mrs. Smith explained that the memberbship reached consensus on two basic prin ciples involved in the study. It was agreed first that provi sion of hospital facilities is a valid function of. county gov ernment, and second that the control of such facilities should be responsive to the electorate in some way since public funds would be involved. Members then evaluated the current hospital bond proposal according to these standards and further agreed to support the issue. By-laws of the League require its members to make a complete study of the background of a public issue before offering organizational support or opposition to a specific proposal about it. In April, 1697, a League Hospital Study Committee was formed by vote of members at tho annual meeting. Mrs Thomas Keller, first vice-presi dent, served as chairman of the committee. Mrs. Josep"h Lane and Mrs. Richard White worked with her on the pro ject At study meetings last year there was a complete review made of the development of Watts and Lincoln, the county owned hospitals. Included in these discussions were their past and present financial structures, the organization of their hoards of directors, and general descriptions of the phy sical facilities at each. The Hosptal bond proposal of No vember, 1966 and many expla nations for its defeat were also examined In detail. This year the study was fo cused on the report of the Hos pital Study Committee appoint ed by the county commission ers, and comparisons with oth er health facilities serving simi lar areas. Each year numerous interviews were conducted for the study with persons asso ciated with the problem and those knowledgeable in the field. In evaluating the current proposal from this perspective the factors given most consid eration were site, location, coat, appointments to the board of directors, and the projected plans for Lincoln and Watti, R&B singer on Atco Label. The four met at recent Greens boro Rally in Memorial Coli seum, where Conley, whose hit record "Sweet Soul Music" has recently been followed by another hit, "Aunt Doria's Love as well as the county's role in the operation of a new hospi tal. It was agreed that in view of the voters' response to the 1966 proposal, the current sug gestion for a new hospital with a new name on a new site Is valid. It was also felt that the proposed number of beds is necessary for the health needs of Durham county according to available population statistics. By the date of completion of sucha structure, adequate ac cesses and public transporta tion could be provided for it, members agreed. Reservations were expressed by some concerning appoint ments to the board of director through the county commis sioners instead of a more di rect responsibility to the voters whose funds the board would Hillside High School Honor Roll The following students are listed at Hillside High School on the first period honor rolls, according to John H.

It was questioned whether an elected board like the county commissioners that is subject to change itself ev ery two years would provide a competent hospital board repre senting the whole community. There was also concern about whether integration of staff and patients would be. achieved with fairness to all parties. The members concluded, however, that there will be ample time after the bond is passed for the public to ex press its specific concerns and desires for the new facility. All agreed that the need for in. creased and improved hospital facilities for Durham county is critical. The merit of the pres ent bond proposal was affirmed and the League now seek ways on implementing its support position.

George J. Leake, Pastor, Little Rock AME Zion Church, be fore 16,000 people in Charlotte, North Carolina. Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey was so moved by the prayer thnt"he embraced Rev. Leake, as a hushed crowd watched. Almighty God, we thank thee for this historic occasion in our community, that brings to us the Vice President of the United States, and that in your wise providence you have seen fit to give to America in this challenging hour to help guide her through threatening chaos to stability, the great personal ity of Hubert Humphrey. We thank thee for this man, who in the quest to serve his country as President, is not willing to play to the rabble and mob for popularity, nor to walk the low road of demogo gery or to make a contract with extremism to be elected to the high and honorable office of President of the United States of America. A man who believes in law and order with utmost since rity and who is dedicated to preserving law and order in this nation and to driving vio lence from our streets and criminals from our land, but who also is committed to stress ing the point that justice and not injustice must accompany law, or there can be no order, ie, .e-i e-erih CPn iiiii mtm m For only when all men re gardless of race, color or reli gion are treated justly can law and order prevail. Oh Father, we pray for this man who Is concerned about the "American Dream" but who has envisioned another Dream, a New Dream for America that includes all Americans. This statesman has not for gotten the "forgotten Middle Class" American, but he also is dedicated to help some other Americans, the poor, hungry, unemployed, under employed, ill-housed, illiterate, sick, mentally ill, those who sleep with rats and roaches who have never really been remembered by our affluent society.

He continued, "The U. S. A. is the greatest success story the world has ever seen, and a great deal of that success is the result of mutual help.

The all-Negro unit, first or ganized in 1866, was recognized in Los Angeles in 1966 as an equestrian unit and makes its film debut in 'The Buffalo Sol diers" episode of the NBC Television Network's "The High Chaparral" colorcast of Fri day, Nov. 22 (7:30.8:30 p.m. EST). The episode shows that the Negro was very much in evi dence in the Old West and in many cases was a hero. David Dortort, series execu tive producer and creator, worked extensively with writer Walter Black to re-create an incident from history in Tuc son, Ariz., when the U. S. Cav alry was forced to move into the city and declare martial law to protect citizens from a gang of bigoted outlaws terror izing the city. The 35 members of the 10th Cavalry first organized to make a feature film which never got off the drawing boards. "Then we became involved in the historical background of the 10th and became fasci nated with its past," said the equestrian unit's chairma.T, Leo Johnson. The basic aim of the unique organization is to remind the American public of the Negro Howard University "School for Races" Says Board of Trustees WASHINGTON, D. C —How ard University trustees released this week the following state ment adopted by the Board at its meeting Tuesday, October 22. The faculty, students, em ployees, alumni and friends of Howard University are en titled to a cltear-cut delineation of the purposes and aims of the University at all times, but particularly at this time when there is so much discussion of Howard as a black university. To that end, the Board of Trustees of Howard University makes the following policy statement: Howard University was found ed primarily for the education of disadvantaged black people and throughout its history has sought to fulfill that purpose. It still intends to calry it out. But nothing in Howard's his tory or its charter will support PRICE: 20* are W. J. Hall, Rte. 2, Woods, dale; P. F. Goodwin, Rte. 3, Apex; E. W.

The troopers train twice weekly, wear authentic uni forms, and follow th£ "period" manual for their training. "We want to portray Negro troopers who lived in the 1860s and show what they did to help maintain law and order in this country," Johnson said. "We hope to instill pride in our own people. We want to instill pride in our children to help them to go on and get an education and become good citizens. T*> succeed you must have pride." When David Dortort -learned the 10th Cavalry had been re created, he hired the entire unit and flew the group to location near Tucson for a week's filming. Hollywood Negro actor Yap het Kotto portrays the group's leader in "The Buffalo Sold iers" episode. "The sergeant I play is a different kind of man," Kotto said. "He's the first Negro man I've played who is caught up in self-pride and strength in the man. " Said unit vice-chairman Len ton Glascow: "We are grateful to "The High Chapparral" for letting us bring our unit tc life again." a black university, if by thai is meant a university operated by black people alone and serv ing only black students. li> fact, the first four graduates of Howard were white stu dents and for one hundred years, the University has never discriminated against persons on account of race or color, and does not now intend to do so. This is not only the policy of the institution, but it is also the law of the land. Howard University is not only dedicated to the teaching of black people but also has a deep commitment to the study and teaching of the history, culture, and life of the black people in the United States and Africa. It is a university deter mined to teach pride in the black man and his mulUfaceted achievements, in his music and culture, and in himself a per sonality.
