Certainly the leaders of all white Christian churches and the mayor or first citizen of Durham should let it be known in no unmistakable terms just where they stand on what this newspaper considers, the most unfor tunate incident that has happened Help For Creedmoor Citizens . We take our stand beside those citizen* of Creedmoor who are de termined that the one school now operated on an integrated basis in the entire county shall retain the pame of G. C.

It appears to this newspaper that sooner or later white citizens are going to have to learn that Negroes, even before their freedom from slav The May Primary f The announcement this week of ithe names of several persons who have served notice they intend run ning for the House of Representa tive* and other public offices such a* sheriff, judge of superior court, etc., we trust will awaken Negro citi zens to the responsibility they will be-bcing in the May Primary. As we have skid so often in these columns Negro citizens of Durham and other cities of the state should enter candidates for several of the offices that will be vacant but above all they should conduct well organized register and vote campaigns in ,everv county of the state. If such is done Ambassador J\R. JEROME H. HOLLAND, • president of Hampton Insti tute, is well prepared by training and experience to serve the United States as an ambassador to Sweden.

There may be those who will look cm the stand we have taken on the matter as making a mountain out of a molehill. We think, however, that there is dedddy more at stake than appears on the surface of the Cross daile Club incident, when it is con aidered that presently our social order is confronted with the accusa tion of being hypocrites and cowards by such organizations as the Black Panthers, Malcolm X and others, who contend that the only snswer to such treatment ss that of the Crossdaile Club is violence and more violence- We salute Mrs. Richard Hill, the director of the choral group, who re fused to surrender to such un-Chris tian and undemocratic action as that of the Crossdaile Club. In view of the fact that there might be some members of the organization or citi zens of Durham who would like to give public expression of their sup port to the polity of the Crossdaile Club we offer these columns, with out cost for such. erv, were helping to build this coun try and should be recognized and hon ored the same as other noted heroes and individuals. Certainly the late G. C- Hawley's contribution to edu cation in Granville County warrants his name being retained as that of the school he founded whether the pupils attending it are white or black. It might not be a bad idea for some of the teachers of the G. C. Hawley School to remind their students that percentage wise there are more Ne groes fighting in the Vietnam War than whites. Certainly they and their children as well as other Negro citi ens are entitled to every right or privilege granted any other citizen of America. many of the indignities now suffer ed by Negroes will disappear. Next to the power of the dollar, sooner or later, Negroes are going to discover tnat the ballot is the most powerful weapon when properly used. It is our hope, therefore, that the registration of the Negro citizens for .the May Primary will be the great est in the history of the state. If such is achieved we are satisfied that several offices now held by whites will be occupied by Negroes, not be cause the latter is any better than whites but because taxation entitles all citizens to representation. has been vacant 12 months. One of the problems DR. HOLLAND would face in Sweden is the fact that the country has provided asy lum for American deserters. In ad dition, Sweden has been outspoken in its criticism of the participation of the United States in the Viet nam War. Da. HOLLAND has been accus tomed to hard problems and ob stacles. He ran into plenty of them at Hampton Institute, and, earlier in his career, as president of Delaware State College. There can be ino doubt among honest people that DR. HOLLAND has done an excellent job as Hampton's president.

In the letter to Craig Phillips and the County Board of Edu cation, the group also re quested a Black principal at the Hawley School. The letter to Phillips read, "We applaud you recent non-discriminatory policy in employing public school personnel. But because of the centuries of discrimina tion. abuse and grossly inferior facilities and opportunities pro vided Black people by the De partment of Public Instruction in North Carolina, and if any honest attempt is made to ba lance the employment situa tion and show some degree of fairness, a Black principal at the Hawley School is a must in Granville County." ■WITHOUT FEAR" THI UNCHANGING CHRIST* fty REV. ft. A. MACK Jesus Christ the same yester day t and to day and forever - Heb. 13:8 It seemed to be a concern of Bible writers that men should know Christ as He was K and know that as He was He * would always be. What they experienced in Christ many years ago, other men in this century would also experience. The Angels were concerned that men should know the con tinuity of Christ, that His na ture was an unchanging na ture. Upon Christ's ascension the Angels said to the Galilean deciples, "Why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus shall so come in like Eaton suggested ways of In tensifying the protest by in volving other groups in Gran ville County and possibly from outside the county.

Paul once made a statement that "if anyone preached any other gospel other than the gospel of Christ, let that man be accursed." He, too, was concerned that men should know Christ as the same per son. There is an area in our lives where we are to grow, to deve lop, to continue to make pro gress, to come closer to God. Then there is another area where, like Christ, we are to be the same, • not to rise and fall, not to be high and then low, but to be the same - the same in our love and devotion to God and to our fellowmen. -School (Continued from front page) integration. "The LDF will take prompt action in the lower courts to insure that the Supreme Court's mandate is carried out in our eleven school districts involved in today's order and will take similar actions in a large num ber of aur 217 school cases in the South."
