l - He said that ft was Ironic, that it was a Southerner,
after 200 years, who had risen to take the leadership
of the Democratic party. He had reference to the nomi
nation of former Georgia tovemw, Jirnmy Carter, as
the party's standard bearer in the forthcoming national
election to November. - 't " ' .
. Ue too, is a native of Georgia. He is the son of a
former sharecropper and received his ea education
in Georgia's public schools and graduated with honors
from Fort Valley Coflege , Fort Valley, Ga. . . m ;
"The South is furnishing the leadership , Lee
declared, "and that leadership will be the aifference in
the next quarter of our nation's history. As far as
North Carolina is concerned, I will be the nnt U.
Governor and will give the people that leadership.
"I plan to bypass the political and economic
leadership North Carolina has experienced in .the upast
and take my program directly to the people. Adding,
"we have had great individual leaders in this state, but
never has North Carolina gained greatness as a' state.
Lee then went on to outline his campaign platform
in which he called for the removal of the food tax reform.
He also listed education, economic development, criminal
justice and reform, health care, and a reform of the
State's welfare program. .
The candidate said the next governor of North
Carolina would have to produce the leadership for the
State, adding that it must be effective leadership with
compassion for the people he serves. As Lieutenant
Governor, Lee declared, I will play an important role
in that leadership.
Lee told the banquet audience that he did not want
to be known as a black lieutenant governor, but a
lieutenant governor who happened to be black.
The speaker was introduced by Dr. M. A. Ray, Mayor
pro-tern of the Town of Tarboro and a prominent civic
leader in Tarboro and Edgecombe County.
Furnishing several musical numbers for the program
were Mrs. Eunice Parker and Artis Bryant. They were
accompanied by Walter Plemmer.The trio paid tribute to
the candidate with a special number they had composed
and sang to the delight of the crowd. The verses paid
tribute to Lee's leadership and their desire to see him
elected.
The banquet in Tarboro Friday night was a culmina
tion of a three-pronged fund raising effort sponsored by
the residents of Nash and Edgecombe Counties and Rocky
Mount.
Nash and Rocky Mount had combined their efforts
at a similar rally last month at Brown's Chicken and
Barbecue Restaurant in Rocky Mount.
Although the banquet Friday night showed remarkable
support, both financially and in interest, the three coordi
nators pointed out their financial efforts would continue
for the Lee campaign.
The coordinators for the financial campaign are David
Ghist, a Nash County educator and Town Councilman,
the Rev. George W. Dudley, pastor of the Mt. Zion First
Baptist Church in Rocky Mount and Mayor pro-tem of
the city of Rocky "Mount and Dr. Ray.
Mrs. Vivian Diggs of Tarboro, is chairman of the
Edgecombe County Finance Committee and Mrs.
Selena Hall, retired insurance executive of Rocky
Mount, is the chairman of the Nash-Rocky Mount
group.
The conflict we mentioned last week that erupted'
between the Board of Education and the Community
Development Department of the City of Rocky Mount,
was clarified to some extent last week by a spokesman
from the Community Development Department.
The conflict came about following the appearance
of Tom Harris, chairman of the Rocky Mount Board
of Education before the regular monthly meeting of
Neighborhood Council Seven onTuesday night, July 6.
Harris attempted to explain tQjftbcjnfmberA.of the
Neighborhood Council why the . Board of "Education
was planning to construct a future school on the Nash
side of the city and the plans they had for further
development.
Samuel Gray, "executive director of the Department
of Human Relations for the City of Rocky Mount, fol
lowed Harris, and showed all of the future schools for
Rocky Mount would be on the Nash side. Gray had
received the projected ten-year plan from the Planning
Department of the Community Development agency.
During an interview with a member of the Planning
Department last week, it was pointed out that when
the projected Land Development survey was developed
in late 1973 and published in 1974, what Gray had
presented to the Neighborhood Council was correct.
The interview reveled that Harris, who was on the
Board of Education at the time, participated in the
. development of the plan. Sometime later, The Board of
Education changed its plan, but did not up-grade the
change with the Planning Department.
Harris, who was at the Neighborhood meeting and
knew about the changes, failed to explain what had
really happened. He knew about it, but did not defend
what had been said about the projected plans.
Deck McCain, the spokesman for the Community
Development Department, said during the interview, he
was not sure who was responsible for up-grading the
changes. Whether the Board of Education should have
advised his department of the changes or whether his
department should have sought information from the
Board, was a question.
Further, he pointed out, the two City agencies
(Board of Education and the Community Development
Department) are independent agencies and are not
inter-related, in any respect. McCain also said that the
projected plan was flexible and when they are made, it
is not out of the ordinary.
From our vantage point, both agenices have a
responsibility to keep the taxpayers well informed,
and the lines of communication should be improved
in order that this type of misunderstanding can be
avoided.
A guest on the Monroe Bostic Rod and Reel
Club's fishing excursion last Saturday pulled in the
largest fish during the trip off the coast of Swansboro.
The guest, Percy Avery of Pittsburgh, Pa., snagged a
twelve pound grouper.
The fishing party gathered in more than 400
pounds of assorted fish raneing from sea bass and silver
snappers to a few small sharks.
The party was aboard The Ranger" with Capt.
Bob Williams at the helm.
.
Mrs. Lillian Lee, wife of former Chapel Hill Mayor,
Howard Lee, was the principal speaker last Sunday
morning at the annual Woman s Day service held at the
Mt. Zion First Baptist Church.
Mrs. Lee spoke on the subject, "Power, Women
Style". She based her message to the large crowd that was
on hand for the service on the Biblical book of Genesis,
second chapter, verses 21-22.
After relating the story of transplanting the rib of
Adam to make woman, Mrs. Lee then went on to stress
the power of women, adding, "we hear so much about
the kinds of power." She named them as green power;
political power, people's power, flower power, and the
list could go on and on, she said. "But I don't think we
have seen anything until we see the kind of power women
can and will have when we put it all together."
Mrs. Lee pointed out that women have always been
expected to think like a man, dress like a queen, speak
like a lady and work like a dog.
She spoke of the courage and Vision of Joan of Arc,
Mary McLeod Bethuhe and Rosa Parks. The same God,
Mrs. Lee declared, who guided those ladies, will guide you
