HE LIKES LAKE, SAYS NEGROES OO,TOO! To the Editor: I am sure that your wonderful intellect and remarkable abilities hive placed you in the forefront ' * of those who are defending the individual rights of the majority of the people of the county and the state;: and that you have fob lowed through by casting your support to Dr. I. Beverly Lake in Ids campaign for „the governor’s chair. Good! » ■ But, I would appredat* the op portunity of expressing to you why I, vastly more limited than yourself, am supporting him: • He has been tbe only one of the candidates who has made open aftdf positive statements as to his his positions on thd many controversial issues facing the state. , . This is challenged by some. Tbe statement stands, for the oth ers have qualified their state ments to allow them to change at a moment’s notice to the other side of the political fence. Not Mr. Lake. He is committed . . . win, lose or draw. This Christian, BiblicaHy-sound, American leader has been honest enough to face all the issues that are important to the people of the state. That is: the working ' man and woman whose taxes keep The Spenders going. I appreciate the changing atti tude of the Colored people in this section of the state* also.-, The «■ mature colored person is think ing for himself and will vote ac cordingly*; I don’t agree with those out-of-state „ “managers” who have stated they will deliver the colored “bloc” vote to the candidate featured in pictures and posters before a “red” back ground. They may have the colored peo ple so brain-washed in other sec tions. But, these around here are not. Other than the young, imma ture gangs following .any group for the “kicks” and excitement, I think, more and more, they are going to vote as individuals. The swell of Dr. Lake’s popu larity among the colored should not surprise anyone. Everyone appreciates a man. who is clear and to. the point about his con victions. Then all know they will be able to depend upon him. They will have the confidence that they wil know where he will stand on all issues which relate to our posture before the nations of the world. i Finally, I appreciate the stand. Dr. Lake has taken on the so called “Speaker Ban Law.” I un derstand that there are some over your way who think it should be repealed. Anything to that? There are other reasons. I’ll tell them to you later, in the meantime it is good to know you and I think alike on the matter. -~-r~ . Sincerely yours, s ' E. T. Iseley Route 2, Mebane (Editor’s Note: Mr. Isley’s trib ute to the intellect and ability Of this un-worthy and un-deserv ing editor are nonetheless hum bly appreciated. Mr. Isolop’s ela i guent statement in behalf of-can didate Lake, however, does not speak for the-editor. However ■ well-intentioned -may be Mr. Ise ley’s comments, he is, unfortu nately too presumptuous and In error in declaring that the Editor | of .The News supports the eandi ! dacy of Lake.

But nary an -editor would give him the real expectation of doing this. And they harkened- back warily to toe i960 Graham-Smith senate campaign which Grahant lost after leading - Smith 90,000 votes in the first primary. MOORBr PREVER IN KUN-OFF ... The talk on this score, flowed freely and the logic went this way: Opinion was near unanimous that Moore and Preyer would he in a second primary, and that Moore would get most of the lake votes. One minority opinion voieed suggestion that Preyer could get these Lake votes because the Lakers would want to vote for a “winner’' and that those who didn’t would be apathetic in the-wake of theft candidate’s demise. There you have the essence of it all—an un-paralleled view of the future. If results bear it out the brilliance of the seers will be vindicated. H they don’t you’ll no doubt not hear another word word about it. Politicians and textbooks (Editorial in The Greensboro Daily News) Dr. I. Beverly Lake is again advocating the “re-examination” of public school textbooks, which leaves him open to two pertinent questions: Doe» the good doctor knew that the N. C. Textbook Commis sion is constantly “re-examining” the state’s public school textbooks? Is he advocating that individuals other than qualified educators —that is, politicians—should take over the job of textbook selec tion? Greensboro's School Superintendent Phil Weaver is currently chairman of the N. C. Textbook Commission. Among its member ship are similarly conscientious educators from all parts of North Carolina. They take their responsibility seriously. The philosophy that textbook selection should be snatched from the hands of professional educators and made the tool of politicians * : DEMOCRATIC PRECINCT MEETINGS ORANGE COUNTY —.

We have seen too much of this recently intetalitarian governments. . Textbook selection is best left to those who have no political _* vaviti'ifiArAsnnnds to other Face up to civil rights issue . (editorial in The Smithriold Herald) “You can’t legislate morals” is an old saying that has a great d4»»i of validity. Just now we are hearing the phrase repeated by opponents of the Civil Rights Bill before Congress. The old saying really is not relevant to the Civil Rights issue. The case for the Ovil Rights Bill does not rest upon any belief that its passage will somehow make us all good Christians or hu manitarians or morally sound creature# who wouldn’t dare dis criminate against any person on account of his race or color._ Bat this is not to say that the Civil Rights Bill now pending should be passed without amendments. The bill should be debated thorougaiy and honestly. Advocates should be given ample time in which to argue and clarify the case for the legislation. Opponents should be given equal time to state their objections to all or parts of the bill. Of course, deliberate debate is in order—but not filibuster. Within a reasonable time, this spring, debate should end. Congress should some to the moment of decision. And the people of the nation should abide by the decision, as long as it remains the will of Congress and the law law of tha> land. . > Chrome-Edged Knives STAY SHARP...
