2A TOKCABOUNA TOOBI «ATU*DAY, MABCB % U7O The Handwriting On The Wall "Hie nrovwWal battle of the aejiaw has taken on a new twist it seems Tn England, four hundred angry women met in a two-day conference to lay plans for a revolution against men. Those militant shrews, who pub ash a magazine by the same name, are calling for a change in the way society is organized so that men and women can both work and share in raising children That is what they say, but what they really mean is that they want to trade places with men; women want to take over. We are tempted to say, I told you so. In the Holy Writ there is a warn ing that says: "whatsoever a man sows, so shall he reap." Well men, you have sown the seeds that are now about to blossom into a full fledged rebellior Years ago, men copped out. They gave up their responsibilities of be ing the authoritative heads of so ciety, and gradually turned every thing over to the women. Men birthed and nurtured the perverted concept that women are superior to men Men told women that the fe males can outthink the males. It was a man who wrote "The Female of the Species is Deadlier Than the Male." It was man who elevated woman to a pedestal and practically What Does It All Mean? MEXE. MEXE. TEKEL, UPHAR STNT' The*e ftrance words were written several thousand venrs ago on the capito] city wall of a great worldwide kingdom Translated. the crvtic message read: "C.od has num bered your kingdom and finished it. You are weighed in the balance and are found wanting. Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians." Originally this message was sent to the sprawling kingdom of Baby lon. which as the historical record points out went down to defeat just as the mysterious messenger de scribed Updated just slightly, this same message could apply to Ameri ca today. This kingdom has indeed been numbered and finished The stench of our immorality, crime and general decadence rises to high heaven. We have taken this good land, in many ways the richest in the world, and polluted it beyond hope for an im mediate reversal, and as a people we have sunk to depths of depravity un Mob Upholds This Supremacy The doctrine of white supremacy is easy to understand. It simply teaches that any person with white skin is superior to any person whose skin isn't white. Yesterday, the doctrine of white su premacy was upheld by a mob in a place called Lamar. S. C. The United Press In ternational reported that "state police used tear gas and clubs Tuesday to beat back a howling mob of whites, armed with axe handles and baseball bats, when they attack ed buses bringing Negro children to a once white school." The United Press International story reported: "The mob tried to stop the first bus to arrive but failed. Its four passengers, all black were hustled inside the school by troopers as one white shouted. "You want rugger grandchildren?" "The second bus, with 20 blacks, and the third bus. with 15, were effectively block ed by the mob when whites climbed atop their hoods and ripped out they ignition wires.

E N ,U S^ U LH 0R OF THE THREE MUSKETEERS J defied her Over the years, men have gradually let women assume more and more authority that is completely out of her spectrum, and now the taste of unnatural power has created a hunger for unnatural ness in women. They are preparing to move into the void created when men abdicated their rightful place in society. Just what does this proposed rev olution portend for the future? First of all, look for more dominance on the part of females. Mor«.« and more women are going to begin '.-.wipet ing for more and better jobs, mak ing more and more money. Look for a change in fashion, presaged by the culottes Women are going to begin literally as well as figuratively wear ing the pants. Men, on the other hand, are going to revert to the style of the Scots. Expect to see an in crease in baby-sitter jobs for men. As the trend of societal preversion reaches its peak Do not be surprised to see some enterprising female doc tor come up with a method by which men can bear children so the woman can keep her year-round job. What does this all mean. It mere ly is a sign of the times that we a* a people are sinking deeper and deep er into the cesspool of decadence. known in the annals of history. Truly, the scales are against us! Our own record indicts us. With our advanced technology we spend the money on one bomber that could serve to make 50,000 tractors. We lie, steal, and pillage at home while sending missionaries to preach right eousness to peoples of foreign lands. We sacrifice, alienate and betray our greatest natural resource, our young people while playing big brother to the remainder of the world- A house divided against itself can not stand. And our houses is truly divided. The blacks against the whites, the havenots against the haves, the young against the old. We are a poor |«ople split into many ;pockets of rebellion while fooling our selves that we are the United States. The picture is indeed bleak, and the mysterious hand writes our doom Unless we turn from our pernicious ways, future generations will view our history in perspective and won der: "How could a nation so great fall so low?" "The mob surged into the line of patrol men, attacking them with ax handles and pounding on the buses. The troopers, their own clubs flying, donned gas masks and fired tear gas into the mob. "Several patrolmen boarded the buses in a hail of bricks and rocks and escorted the children, choking and crying, into the school. Minutes later the whites rushed again and overturned two empty buses, then fled when patrolmen fired more tear gas and, for the first time, brandished their pistols." A supremacy which can be demonstrated only by a howling mob attacking children is on shaky foundations. But, it should be noted that the state troopers who fought to save the Negro chil dren were white men, and that they were sent there by a white governor, who termed the attacks "unspeakable." It is in order to hope that the actions of the white troopers and the white governor will at least provide a counterweight to what the white mob did. , "The Message Of The F ■ ■ L~ NIXON MAINTAINED THAT THE 'GREAT MAJORITY OF THE | PEOPLE IN OUR CITIES"ARE NOT M¥ x ANTI-NEGRO\ ANT I WELFARE.

KlW'> §* jJM ;TC 'THAT'S THE MESSAGE FOR THE /■■jmjtt| >3| CANDIDATES IN THE FUTURE/ |Q The View ~ C 3 From I By MILTON JORDAN Times Staff Writer This week, we are concerned with the first of three ulti mately important Questions in regard to observing the rules that lead to happy marriages. Am I Ready? This question and the correct answer to it is the cornerstone as it were to de ciding this question of marital happiness. One's answer, how ever, must be objective and honest. Just what is readiness for marriage? One major factor is age! Couples are walking dowq the aisle earlier and earli? er in life. Statistics show that today forty percent of the brides in the United States are bewteen fifteen and eighteen years of age. That's much, much too young as followup statistics prove. In the first place, of all those teenage marriage, forty percent had to occur because the girls were al ready pregnant. Fifty percent of teen-age marriages ended in divorce v/ithin five years, and a great many of the other cou ples simply lived with their misery. So if you are a teen ager, and looking for the an swer to the question of readi ness for marriage, the reply is a resounding No!! But by the same token, if you are a teenager you can learn what being ready is and start preparing for a successful marriage. Again, I ask, just what is readiness? Following age, the next singularly im portant factor is maturity. Webster defines maturity as: "The state or quality of being mature; ripeness; perfection; completeness; as, the maturity of age or of judgement...." (Webster's Universal Unabridg ed Dictionary). As is suggested by the above definition, ma turity comes in four stages. First of all physical. physically mature is not rea son enough to get married; This is where many people make mistakes initially. Truth fully, being physically mature without having reached the other three plateaus of com pleteness is often the best rea son in the world not to get married. The second stage of maturity is mentally. This is involved with education some what, but more or less refers to one's ability to think and reason logically and objective ly. A test of mental maturity li how w«U can you. plan? Dating for instance is one of today's worst evils, and one of the most bitter indictments against the lact of maturity. Dates are no longer planned; they just happen. For the most part, a date is involved with two kids (chronologically or mentally) alone in a car or in the balcony of a theater, losing themselves in the mesmerizing glare of a ready made day- dream on the silver scream. Conversation is often a spas modic monotone, and charac ter development absolutely nil. On the average date today the dating couple seldom is ever learn anything construc tive about each other. They are almost like two animals pawing and clawing at each other for various types of advantages. However, if a young man of a young woman sincerely wants to test their mental maturity, plan a construc tive, educational fun date. First of all, look around for some one you think would be able to function in the type of situa tion. That in itself is a whooper of a mental challenge. When you find a possible candidate, with him or her in mind, plan a date. Select a place to go that will be enjoyable, educa tional, and healthy. But alas, that automatically rules out all the places frequented by a majority of young people to day. Clubs are not educational ly necessarily, and they are definitely not healthy. Ciga rett smoke is thick enough to cut. And if you don't believe cigarette smoke is unhealthy, visit some of the hospital cancer wards. Or talk with some guy who had a two pack a day habit and now has to breathe through a tube in his throat because all of one lung and most of the other one is eaten away by cancer inducing nicotine. Another health hazard in the average club is the volume of the "music" (%). Prominent spec ialists in their fields declare that if young people continue to listen to that nerve-racking din they call music at their favorite audio levels, most of them will be deaf before thirty and all of them will have im paired hearing. So clubs are out. Using the guidelines of fun (the kind you never regret) education and health, one can easily rule out most movies. What does it profit to slouch on your spine for two hours or more and bombard your mind with visions of Mayhem, destruction, illicit sex and other types of social evils?

MACK We live on a physical plane as far as our senses are con cerned, our smell, our taste, our hearing, our sight, and our touch are the physical body. But we are not just flesh alone, we are a spirit also. Man is not made to be successful by living only on the physical level because the whole world is covered with the curse of sin, disease, and fear. If we choose to live on the physical level we are de feated. It is only when we re cognize that we are spiritual and that our very being and WHITNEY M. YOUNG Making Black Count THIS IS A CENSUS year—the one time in a decade that all Americans are counted- In a few weeks you, like everyone else, will be getting a questionnaire from t)he Census Bureau to fill out. As soon as you get it, fill it out and mail it back. It's important, especially for black people. In 1960, the Census Bureau estimated it "missed" at least two million black people ten percent of the total black population. They were never counted. As a result the black com munity lost five seats in Congress and several billion dollars In federal aid. Why weren't blacks counted? In part, because some people didn't bother returning the form, or because some people didn't answer the door when the census taker came. But sometimes he just never came. Black neighbor hoods were the scene of hit and run census taking. They'd come for a fast spin around the block and then cut out without making a complete Survey. "How Many Blacks Live Here?" In Southern rural areas It was common for the census taker to stop by at the local general store and ask the own er: "How many black folk live down the road?" Discrimination, not ignorance, kept two million blacks from being counted in I960; we can't afford to let it hap pen again. The Urban League atid a, dpzen other major or-v t ganizations "covering the Afrftdle spectrum of opinion in the civil rights movement have launched a campaign to make sure that black counts this year. It's a two-part program. One part is to educate black people to the importance of filling out and mailing in the census forms. The other part is to keep tabs on the Bureau and make sure they don't cheat blacks again. We want them to recruit census-takers from the black community, train census takers for ghetto counting, open offices in the ghetto so that people can get assistance in fill ing out the forms, and above all, make an accurate count of blacks for the first time in our history. Black people will have to help. Aside from filling out forms mailed directly to us, we'll have to inform others of the importance of doing so, too. Census Bureau Doesn't Care The Census Bureau doesn't care about the information supplied by individuals. It can't use it in any wav other than in complying statistics.
