Governor Sanford Urges
Try For Understanding
I call on aQ citizens of all races
to help avoid strife, ill will, danger
to life and property, and damage to
our State of North Carolina.
The Negro citizen by his demon
strations has delivered the message
that he is not content, that he has
a burning desire to break down the
barriers which prevent his normal
passage and patronage in places
open to the public, that he has a
determined discontent with a sit
uation which denies him many of
the opportunities, freedoms of
choice, and privileges which are
afforded as a matter of course to
other citizens. Anyone who hasn't
received this message doesn't un
derstand human nature.
But we have had sufficient dem
onstrations. I
I cannot and will not allow the sit
uation to degenerate to the point of
mob against mob, citizen against
citizen, force against force.
Welfare Workers
Attend Workshop
Some of the new Welfare workers
are planning to attend a Workshop
for New Public Welfare Workers, in
a one-day session that takes place
once a month for three months.
They have planned about three ses
sions on basic casework conceptions
with emphasis oo interviewing.
Those planning to attend are:
Mn. Ruth P. Blake, Mr. James Ed
ward Brinson, Mrs. Cynthia W.
Kennedy, Mr. Albert G. Williams.
Mrs. Rachel W. Stroud, and Mrs.
Clara Canteen.
The Department of Public Wel
fare has recently taken on two new
members; they are Mrs. Cynthia
W. Kennedy, and Mr. Albert G. Wil
liams. Mrs. Kennedy is a native of
Reulaville, and graduate of East
Carolina College. Mr. Williams is
or me univerwry ? ueorgia.
.
Further mass demonstrations
breed disorder, endanger lives, est
ablish animosity, and serve on good
purpose.
I will take whatever steps are
necessary to preserve the peace.
It would be criminal for me to
wait for extensive bloodshed to de
clare martial law, as has been done
in other places, or to take other
appropriate actfcw.
It is necessary that all mass dem
onstrations stop and deliberations
start. I do not want to be misunder
stood. I repeat I will take whatever
steps are necessary.
I therefore call on all citizens con
cerned to cease all mass demon
strations, and to work with respec
tive mayors and other local leaders

that she is 79 years of age and
she is very happy and spry. So I

I want to take this opportunity to
stress upon you the importance of

very inconvenient for Miss Wight

terested in a certain book, not to
be able to find It in stock. So please
return the books that you have bor

give others the chance to enjoy
them as you have.

Our five-digit Zip Code is 28518,

Beulaville Postmaster H. G. Lanier
"Every one in Beulaville, will use
this Zip Code on all their corres
pondence to speed mail deliveries
and reduce the chance of missent
mail," Postmaster H. G. Lanier
said.
Zip Code, the Post Office Depart
ment's revolutionary new system of
improved mail dispatch and deliv
ery, goes into effect nationally on
July 1.
Postmaster H. G. Lanier stressed
the importance of all ciitzens of
Beulaville, learning this city's Zip
Code and using it in their return
address on all correspondence. In
answering mail, he said Zip Code
taken from return address on in
coming mail should be used.
"The Zip Code is literally the last
word in mail addressing" Lanier
said. "It should follow the city and
state in addresses.".
He cited this example of the pro

process of mail dispatch and adds
to the opportunity for human er

"With Zip Code, a clerk needs only
to glance at the code to know im

state and post office the letter is
destined, and to speed it on its way,
cutting up to 24 hours off the time
beween deposit and delivery."
Mr. Lanier said that when Zip
