Our Commitment
The members of the staff
and management of The
Carolina Times, along with its
readers, deeply mourn the loss
of its founder and publisher,
the late Louis G. Austin. It is
not possible to gauge his loss
to this newspaper. He was the
body and soul, literally, for
fifty years of The Carolina
Times. It was not possible to
think of him without thinking
also of this newspaper. And it
was unthinkable to contem
plate the newspaper without
thinking of him. They were

committee, Durham Branch,
NAACP, met with them at the
New Bethel Baptist Church.
The meeting was held in an
effort to open a line of com
munication that would make
the center a community pro
ject, serving the entire Dur
ham area. The meeting was
presided over by Alexander
Barnes, president, who
bfought the citizens up to
date on the plans and opera
tion. The citizens showed
much interest in the project
and pledged cooperation in
every way possible.
The matter of damage to
the building was discussed and
it was found that there were
some who were dissatisfied
with the closing of the school,
not because of the children
having to go elsewhere to
school, but because the school
served many other purposes
for the community. When it

firm foundations for his life's task.
His religious philosophy was a domi

Throughout the years, Louis E.
