Gillis, regarding re cently closed events; the recent celebration of the Russ-Sanders Singers' First Anniversary, "is history now." But when one looks back on the event one does recall that the celebration was colorful, unique and well executed. For a firstfth Russ Sanders Singers set a new re cord in presenting to the Union Baptist members and friends a well-rounded, splendid, repre sentative format of its activities from the inception to the cli maxing of the first year. The Russ-Sanders Singers began, pure and simple, as a Sunday School choir. However they were destined to become one of the Church's singing groups. And after much ado about the R-S Singers becom ing a church oriented organiza tion, it happened; The Russ Sanders Singers are part 'n par cel of the Church's singing groups. Sunday, January 16, 1972 was a frigid day; nivertheless, the loyal members and officers of the Dorcas Class met in the home of Mrs. Inez Evans and her mother, Mrs Jeanetta Bra cey, at 212 East Edward Street. The first meeting of the year of the Dorcas Class is the time for making plans for the ensuing year. New ideas or re visions of old ones are presented and carefully tested to make sure these ideas will meet the functional needs of the class. Mrs. Stattie H. Russ suggest ed that the Dorcas Class or ganize a Sunday School choir. Perhaps the lovely home of their hostesses and their gra- i life Raninc At klV By George B. Russ ciousness contributed largely to the enthusiasm of the group's acceptance of the S.S. Choir kin,, or the dass sisters simply responded to a marvelous idea. A time, date and place were set for a first rehearsal, ail with in the hour. Miss Anna R. Henderson, the daughter of Mrs. Alease Henderson, a member and of the assistant teachers of the Dorcas Class; served as pianist for the singers. During the 7th rehearsal date March 12th, at 3 p.m. , the sin gers were christened "The Russ Sanders Singers." The name is in honor of the Dorcas Class president, Mrs. Stattie H. Russ, and the dass teacher, Mrs. Celestia H. Sanders. In the words of the committee on selecting a name: "the name was chosen in honor of two fine women who exemplify in every way our Christian princi ples." Blue and white was chosen as the Singers' colors; the pink carnation was selected as their flower. The motto is: "Sing O Choir and Be Joyful." Aim: A sincere desire to spread the good news of our wondrous Savior through song. Because of a busy schedule Miss Henderson was forced to leave off working with the Russ- Sanders Singers. However, through Mrs. Elaine Pratt, a member of the Dorcas Class, the Singers were able to procure the services of Mr. Billy Nichol son, her brother, on a tem porary basis. Through divine guidance, or out of sheer sympathy, Rev. John Caldwell began working with the Russ-Sanders Singers in a directorial capacity. And, between the two gentlemen, Mr. Nicholson and Rev. Cald well, the R-S Singers began to feel, in a modest way, that their career as a singing group was, to a degree, well assured. By a twist of fate the Russ- Sanders Singers were able to procure the services of Mr. Frank Richardson, the popular blind artist. He readily became an integral part of the Russ-Sanders Singers, therefore, the group suffered a great loss with the passing of their organist on July 27, 1972. The Russ-Sanders Singers well, form time to time, recall with fondest memories the great artist. Frank Richardson was an inspiration; cooperative, loyal and a cheerful-giver and the Russ-Sanders Singers are eternally grateful to God that they were blessed to serve with and to be served by Mr. Richardson.

Minora Ranson, Lois Brown, Annie R.dMuse, Viola Miss Madie Perkins had lived at 117 Wake Place, South Hill, Bayborough, for the better part of fifty years. Before moving to 117, she had lived at 105 Wake Place where she was born. Infact, Mias Perkins had lived in the South Hill section all of her life. There was a time when the Perkins were the only residents of this section. South Hill had been a mud hole in a wilderness of pines, wild Plum, wild Cherry and Oak trees when Joseph Perkins and his young, pretty bride j moved to South Hill. This tion was 15 acres of wilderness surrounding Joe and Mandy's three room log cabin. Mandy had wanted to hvae Joe all to herself when she married h im and she had hinted her wishes to him, but she had not intended getting lost with him in the wilderness of South Hill. Joe was a fast breeder and the hours she had anticipated spending alone with him were cut short; in leas than four years, . she had four babies.And after nine years of blissful mar riage to Joe Perkins, Mandy had a great deal to show for the years they had spent toge- Peopie often asked her if she was a native of Bayborough and she always apoke right up, "I hailed from New Hanover County, tame as you please; but, a few years in a wilderness can make a native of the beat ofua." Them bad bean a time when she "couid-ah-et Joe Perkins" and before it was all said and done; the wished desperately tkat the had eaten him. from Mscfc By JOHN HUDGIN8 I am concerned that the senator from Mississippi did not die as a result of the gun shot wounds he received last week. I am not going' to say I'm sorry he didn't die I'm just going to say, the Lord moves in mysterious ways that I don't yet understand Personally I could think of no better person to get shot than the honorable John Stennis of Mississippi. For years he has been a staunch foe of every kind of gun con trol In this country. We ought to look closely at pos sible racist motives in this behavior. (1) Lack of gun control has permitted millions of white Americans (better known as Klanners) to carry weapons and to store them for use against Black people. I am sure the nature of the senator's home state dictates that gun control would spoil race relations. (2) Lack of gun control permits thous ands of racist cops carry "coon guns" that is guns used to shoot especially Black peo ple outside of the line of duty but with the uniform on. The most faggish white man in this country becomes a racist monster when given a small hand gun. Many Black people have died or been wounded when crazy white people went coon hunting. The other destructive thing about availability of guns is the shocking toll guns are taking in the Black commu nity. There is hardly a week end in Durham that some body does not get shot for some stupid reason. I mean why shoot a woman if she don't like you. Take your money back and find an other. The strange thing about guns is that even in the Black community people get courage that they other wise do not possess. Unfortunately there is the feeling that all Americans have a God given right to bear arms in defense of the country. What we fail to un derstand was that original in tent of that law or right was to make it possible for any white man to shoot Indians. When all the Indians (for lack of a better term) were killed off white people kept their guns and used them on us. This was such an Ameri can thing to do that we even got guns and started to use them on each other. Often people that we profess to love. ' What is beautiful about the Stennis shooting is that some Black people finally realized who we should be turning the guns on, the people who taught us to kill in the first place. I on my honor believe that they probably did not recognize him. If they had there is no question in my mind that this dude would have met his great "White Father." Now I know there are a lot of wet-in-the-pants mili cants who oppose gun control because they are needed to) fight the revolution. My an swer is the people who are serious about revolution know where to get pieces and where to use them. It is sad for us that even though most Black people have access to firearms, few know what to do with them. A lot of our rural brothers or nature lov ers use guns to hunt in the fall, or to develop the skill for sport. The rest of us use them for courage, for being the bad "niggers' that we ain't never been and never will be without the gun. The rest of us are not intelligent enough to know what to do with weapons, therefore we" use them on each other, playing Matt Dillon, or Shaft, or some white or white wash ed dude. Take my word for it when the good senator gets out of that hospital he is going to look for ways to keep guns from those of us who ought to have them, like the broth ers who shot him. His Intent will be to keep guns from "those people" so that they stop dealing with his people. Our intent must become to help brother realize that any weapon is to be used on your enemies and not your broth ers and sisters, that no mat ter what the cause, when a non - white person murders another non-white person, some of the white is shining through. With all the John Stennis' around there is no reason- why a Black , woman should be receiving time for shooting a Black man. P.S.: They still ain't caught the "Bloods what burned him. Like I said the Lord sure nuff works in some mysteri ous ways. By the time she got through diapering and feeding younguns, cooking three hots a day for Joe, it didn't make any differ ence to her that the Smiths and Jones bought lots and built fairly handsome houses at South HUl. She had been taught that short and seldom visits make long and lasting friends, therefore, she made the best of her training by staying home. The children all grew up in the South Hill wilderness, but they shook the dust off their feet fast, that is, they all left home with the exception of Miss Madie. Miss Madie felt that she was duty bound to look after her aged, ailing parents; therefore, she stayed behind and saw to it that their last days were made comfortable in the last years of their lives. Between her job as upstairs maid for the Kaypots and giv ing her own abode a respectful aspect, inside and out, there was no time left to see who moved into the South Hill sec tion. She often remarked that it was a shame and a disgrace" that she didn't visit more, but, things being as they were: a house to keep, washing 'n cook ing 'n sewing; tending to her own business, them was little time left to listen to other folk's shortcomings. Except for Ben Pratt, the handyman at the Kaypots, she never got a close look at a man. She was afraid of dead folks, therefore, she tot all the occa sions, to get a close-up of dead men, go unheeded Bra mfcnt have been dead for the good he was when his Thompson, Alice Jones.

THE ECONOMY GAR WITH A LUXURY RIDI 1973 VEGA '2097 day's work was over; he was the kind of servant who enjoys j praises as much as he does pay for his efforts; Ben hppped, jumped and skipped 'from morn ing until he dropped in a chair at night and fell asleep. Miss Madie admitted that she had never married because she had never been asked. And in all probability, she would have been stuck here in the wilderness of South Hill the rest of her days if Curtia, her brother, had not come to the rescue. She would have been sitting 'n rocking when she was not at the white folk's house and her own house wasn't needing her attention if Curtis had not giver her old-frame a shaking up. When Curtis wrote that he was coming home 'n hiring his little srifie; "I am married to Emma Lou Pratt, one of Mr. Bra Pratt's girls." Miss Madie was flabbergasted; she had had Continued on Page 7A '197 DOWN 36 Months W total Note? 158" INTEREST '258" APR. 9.25 3 DAILY LIVING A TftAGIDY OF OUR MODERN CIVILIZATION Living in this mechanical age, some of us seem to think our bodies and minds will go on forever. That's why we see so many breaKaowns at middle-age; and probably why so many youths are pre maturely old, also burned out before life fairly begins. Most of our youths are having ex periences shot at them so fast that they cannot begin to ab sorb these experiences. As a result, they get involved in personal difficulties, and disillusioned. Most of our young people and some adults are not basi cally interested in real de velopment of character and ability. They are living but for the moment, selfishly de siring to take everything they can out of life without put ting anymore into life than is absolutely n e c e s s ary. Ypung people with such an attitude, have experienced, as they think, all of life's thrills. They have lived a shallow, superficial existence and when this sort of life has passed them by; when the artificial world they have created bursts like a bubble, they can see nothing in life worth living for. They are bored with living in their early twenties or thirties and desirous of ending it all. Yes, they let personal efficiency come last in the planning of their lives. There la no ques tion about it, this is one of the tragedies of our modern civilization the speed at which we are living.
