2A -THE CAROLINA TIMES SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 19TO Ck* CaroUfJa ©mes E r> T T (VR T A L S More About Highway Safety In our lead editorial of July 18 we endeavored as best we could to point out to the good citizens of North Ckrolina the almost daily carnage in human life that is now taking place on the public highways of this state. We intended to point out in our editorial of that week but inadvertent ly forgot to do so because of trying to meet our deadline. Another great public highway menace lurking up and down, not only the highways of our own state, but all of the remaining 49, that should be halted immediately, if the governors of our states and mem bers of the legislatures had the moral courage to take positive and definite action in their positions of authority. The menace we refer to now is that of the high speed automobiles that are manufactured and issued to or by their dealers, often carrying a speed of 120 miles an hour or more. We ask in all sincerity when and where it become necessary to drive an automobile down a public highway at More Studen "TVEATH KNOWS no color and violence which may start in one section or among one group in a community will spread eventually like fire unless the cause is removed. This is why public officials and leaders long ago should have con centrated more on campaigns against racial tension, poverty and unemployment, no matter who were the victims. What happened to two young men in Lawrence. Kan., is traceable to the sad neglect of conditions in society which have grown worse in the last ten years. Within a week two University of Kansas students were killed, one black afcfl the oth er white. The slaying of these two students was a tragedy for that com munity, but it may take some ca lamity of this caliber to awaken the sensibilities of the people. RICK DONALD DOWDELL, 19, a Ne gro, was shot to death by a police man. HARRY NICK RICE, 18, a white youth, was killed July 20. It was not immediately determined who fired the shot that killed the white youth. Fellow students say he was slain by police. A county coroner's jury exoner ated patrolman WILLIAM GARRETT in the death of the Negro. It was not clear under what circumstances PATROLMAN GARRETT was exoner ated. Usually a white policeman has little trouble justifying himself on the shooting of a Negro. But we are not clear of what happened in this case. The slaying of these two young ster* has stirred up resentment among both white and black people in the Lawrence community. • The Tbfegs You SMI Know SCOTT BOND > Wji. 3ORN IN SLAVERY IN MISSISSIPPI HE WENT TO 2I,RENTED A FARM FOR $6.00! HIS TINY SA/MGS FROM WORKING THIS FARM WENT TO BUY A TRACT OF RUINED LAND HIB JfljV FRIENDS LAUGHED/BUX LATER THE ROCK ISLAND R.R. MADE A OEAL FOR THE GRAVEL THERE... AS A RESULT \FFLJ HIB LOT IMPROVED, AND BY 1920 HE OWNED OVER 4,000 ACRES! - HIS TOTAL HOLDINGS VALUED AT $ 280,000.' a speed of over 70 miles an hour which is, generally speaking, the high est rate of speed allowed in North Carolina and most of the other states. It is our honest opinion that there should be a federal law prohibiting the sale of any and all automobiles to persons not engaged in police, fire, ambulance or some other acts which when being used at a speed of over 70 miles per hour would automati cally set off a siren or alarm signal that would immediately go into ac tion. Finally again we ask in all sincerity is it necessary for any person or per sons not engaged in driving on a race tract to own an automobile with a speed limit of 120 miles or more? Because we believe such a time never comes we appeal to the state legisla tures of the nation to enact a law as early as possible, prohibiting same, or appeal to the Congress of the United States to pass a federal law prohibiting same. funeral procession for DOWDELL was patterned after that for MARTIN LUTHER KING, assasinated leader of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. An old farm wagon, draped in black and drawn by two black farm horses in black harness, was brought to town for the funeral cortege. • There was a memorial march in connection with the RICE funeral procession arranged by the victim's lather and approved by city offi cials. There was another march or ganized by a group of young people who called themselves the "Street People." It was organized at the same time as DOWDELL'S funeral procession. However, the "Street People's" March was not approved by police. The "Street People" were disturbed over the killing of both youths. GEORGE KIMBALL, the self-proclaim ed leader of the "Street People," described the two deaths as "cold blooded murders." City officials blamed KIMBALL'S group for the dis turbance in which RICE was killed. The black youth was killed in a Negro section of Lawrence across town from the University of Kan sas. Rici was killed just off cam pus. Both slayings were related to conflicts, tensions and confronta tions with police. It is most unfortunate that the champions of "law and order" also seem impelled to defend the status quo with loaded guns at a time in our history when change is inevi table. This is a national problem and unfortunately more young peo ple may give their lives before it is solved. JOURNAL AND GUIDE "Pulling the Rug From Under 'Southern Strategy'?" REVERSING AN EARLIER /P INTPDNAL ADMINISTRATION POSITION, I,'V I np./p%iic THE INTERNAL REVENUE / K £ SERVICE DECLARED IT WOULP Weekly Sunday For August 2, 1970 YOUR BIBLE IS YOUR MAJOR TEXTBOOK: STUDY IT THE FRUIT OF HATE Scripture: Genesis 4:1-15; Devo tional Reading: Matthew 5:21- 26 Memory Selection: Anyone who hates his brother is a murder er, and you know that no mnr derer has eternal life abiding in him. I John 3:15. 1. And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have got ten a man from the LORD. 2. And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 3. And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an of fering unto the LOttD. 4. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock, and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel, and to his offering: 5. But unto Cain, and to his offering, he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. 6. And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? 7. If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. 8. And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. 9. And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? 10. And he said. What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. 11. And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath open ed her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand; 12. When thou ti 11 es t the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. 13. And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is great er than I can bear. -14. Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, 'that every one that findeth me I shall slay me. | IS. And the LORD said unto \ him, Therefore whosoever slay \ eth Cain, vengeance shall be ; taken on him sevenfold. And the I LORD set a mark upon Cain, | lest any finding him should kill him. ! FOREWORD: The development i of moral evil is concurrent with ? human society. Let's keep in $ mind that the aim of the story is snot scientific, but religious; and (that the happenings In the life *of the first family in verses one ► and two of the lesson, make for an outline to be filled in. We can | see something of the painful out- Icome of hate, and evil brooding, land suspicion. | Even at this early beginning, ' the community of men has some provision for religious worship. The two men, Cain and Abel, "brought" their offerings appar ently to one place. This differ ence in their offerings is not | merely to be found in their occu pations. Abel brought not only "the firstlings of the flock," but "the fat thereof," obviously pointing to some sacrificial rites. Cain brought "of the fruit of the ground." The Lord's respect to Abel's offering was not merely a recognition of Abel's state of mind; but a sense of obedience to the demands of religious stan dards. Jealously and hate turn into the tools of murder and fratricidal destruction. These en emies of human progress are still with us. We must deal with them, individually, by God's grace.

CENTRAL THOUGHT: Hate is a monster that lurks in the shadows of human society, and needs to be uprooted for the good of the community. --Baptists (Continued from front page) Monday (August 3) at St. Mark's Baptist Church, Rox boro Road, with a musical presentation featuring 100 voices.

In another prograhi aimed at encouraging increase mi nority-group activity, postal bank accounts are 1 being opened w>th approximately 25 small banks operated by Ne groes or Spanish-Americans.

Wense Grabarek welcoming Campbell. Grabarek said he would be unable to attend theT&efnonies because he would be out of the state. Dr. Boulware headed a re quest for contributions for campaign material for Camp bell's election as lieutenant governor and presented him his personal check. Rev. Mil ler stated that a check from the church would be forth coming. More than $126 was collected during the service. Campbell was enroute to Atlanta where he will repre sent Honolulu at a meeting of the National" Association of City and County officials. He said Hawaii "is the state with the greatest possibilities for a solution to America's number one problem: people learning to live and work and play together.

Campbell, 51, is married to Naomi S. Campbell. They are the parents of one daughter, Lori, who is a student at Cen tral Intermediate School in Hawaii. -Criticizes (Continued from front page) allow the young people and blacks full voting right*." The board's action almost Insures that the state will be party to legal suit to test the law which is contrary to the states constitution. Peele, a rising senior at' North Carolina Central Univer sity state also, "the future of N.C. depend upon the aware ness and participation of the young citizens of this state and for the State Board of Elections to completely ignore the federal law may be a tragic mistake." Peele plans to write letters to Governor Scott and state •lections official Alex Brock requesting for a review of the boards decision. -Membership (Continued from front pagt) branches and field administra tion, and Miss Lucille Qlack, secretary for membership, called for an intensive drive to enable the Association "to end 1970 with the largest membership in the history of the organization." the local units were urged to "reorgt. nine your membership cam- palgn and go out for new and old memberships." Reports received in the NAACP National Office here indicate a heightened interest in support of the Association a> a result of Bishop Stephen G. Spottswood's widely pub licized call for resistance to actions of the Nixon Adminis tration deemed hostile to the status and progress of Negro Americans. "Our convention," thd Cur rent-Black memorandum said, "redirected the attention of many Americans - black and white - to our organization and there was gained a renewed understanding of what we stand for and what we are doing not only nationally, but in local communities whence came the delegates to the Cincinnati convention."

Burreli stated that "Go vernment in partnership with private sector organizations is attempting to assist almost any effort by a minority business man in making a go of rea listic oportunities. What we now must do is put together the combination of Black, Red, Brown and other minori ties with white franchisors and majority business leaders who have pledged to improve the American system. Over 100 exhibitors will present their organization's products and services, demonstrating tech niques for successful minority management financing alterna tives. The League, founded in 1900 by Booker T. Washington, will celebrate its 70th Adver sary at the convention in Detroit. -Cosmetics (Continued from front page) 1969 and company officials are projecting annual sales of $6 million to $8 million in the near future. "With our new plant and broadening marketing facili ties, we now are able to take full advantage of the greatly improved earning power in the Negro market," said Cannon.

It includes a men's cologne and after-shave lotion, a natural hair sheen spray and natural easy-comb hair spray. The high capacity of the filling lines han enabled Canno lene to diversify from its stan dard cosmetics items, and to produce goods under private label contracts.
