Negroes' not being welcomed along with everyone else at "I'orgy and Bess," a movie made great by Negioes. leads us and no doubt many others m our community to take a stand which we should haw* taken long ago we cannot attend movies at this theatre or other similar places until all people are as welcome as we are However, we do not approve of the destruction features ot boycotts, Just as we object to the threats and economic pres sures used hy some segregation ists against those with whom they disagree, we also do not want tq have any part in bring ing financial losses to the Caro line Theatre arid its employees We simply want to help persuade the manager to change his view and come to welcome all people at his theatre. We are therefore sending the manager of the Theatre payment for the two tickets to ‘‘Porgy and Bess” which we would have bought but for his present policy. We intend to pay him similarly in the future for movies which we think we would have attend (Continued on Page 5) w Thees Ee« An Eenvasion??** Research For Future Growth 1 I hi- i- last in a series of article' deal ing with \ita! research programs in "south ern universities that promise the master he\ for unlocking the region's \a-t treas ures m the decade of the IbbbN) Research by universities- ,-.vj the an r.-ed -c-e and good manag* na-id of trie South'- • ,ia., economic and -.ocm, re source- n.caic a future of <;• m*ii; erf grow th and leadership, J r., planning and management enter nto inar.v ~reas.

Much of the South has done battle against the high winds of hurri canes and tornadoes. These battles were sometimes ineffective because no one knew how or when a storm was to strike. Hut recently weather researchers at Florida State University have taken then instruments into the center of hurricanes m order to learn more about their struc ture and behavior. In cooperation with the U.S. Weather Bureau's National Hur ricane Research project, they have flown Air Force planes into Gulf and Caribbean storms in the hojie of gathering enough in formation to understand them and event ually to control them. Jf control of 'weather is not yet a reality, the inhabitants of Bryan, lex as can verify the fact that prediction ot storms is a step in that direction. Several years ago, the Departments of Oceano graphy and Meteorology at Texas A & M College predicted the path of a tornado by radar for the first time in weather his tory. On the Gulf Coast of Florida, the “Red Tide” has left lieaches full of dead fish which are the despair of commercial fish ermen and Floridians who depend on the tourist trade. This want* of a valuable natural re source haa been tackled by researchers at the Univeraity of Miami Marine labora tory. The "Red Tide” i* caused by con centration* of a microscopic brownish-red form of marine life which give out a poi son fatal to fish. Cau-e of the tide wa- discovered at toe Marine La-oratory where - 1 - are now working to find a control f ,r it.

The I ake Nobility ('I he Raleigh News & Observer) Cndoubtedly, North Carolina thus tar and in display of great .self-reslrumt has succeeded v.<-l! in dealing with the dntt. cult program of school integration. Those who love the State will hope that it will act with justice and wisdom in the matter. But there is. a dangei that too great cotn placency could mark this matter in this State. ■ Recently, for instance, Harry Golden, the nationally popular sage of Charlotte, was quoted on the subject. Golden, who was one of the few to oppose the Pearsall plan, which has never been used and scarcely mentioned since it was over whelmingly adopted, was quoted as say ing that the State’s leadership had "dis played Hue statesmanship in this matter. Evidently, however, that statement does not exactly reflect Golden’s views. As the old year and the old administra tion moved to their ends, the Charlotte writer in a letter to a number of expressed other views. “Quite frankly,” he wrote from * har kitte, “our State of North Carolina, (along with Luther Hodges and so many oth ers) is getting a reputation around the country of being very ‘noble’ in this mat ter, but of course when you consider that we have exactly two Negro children in an ‘integrated’ school system of some 20,- 000 students, this ‘nobility’ is a complete fake Golden of course, would move much more rapidly in this matter than most North Carolinians. Still, if the State does not take his counsel, it must face his warning. North Carolina’s good luck and good publicity depend, of course, on its good faith. Nothing else will suffice. —Looking Back— < These items are from the files at i(m* Weekly. 1 IX 1926 Mr. and Mrs. F. 0.
