PATRIOTS, INC. . . .C. L. Shu
ping, the Democratic warhorse oi
other years, hit the headlines again
last week as one of the chief or
ganizers of Patriots of North Caro
lina, Inc.
The organization, because it lists
the names of 356 Tarheels — a lot
of them pretty well known — has
already made quite a bit of news
and promises to make much more.
We need not have been too much
surprised at the formation of such
an organization, for there are now
similar federations in most of the
Southern States. Our State was
among the last to come up ^with
one.

In Arkansas is White America,
Inc. In Delaware, you find the Na
tional Association for the Advance
ment of White People. In Louisi
ana, there is the Knights of the
White Christians. The States’ Ri
ghts League is the organization fi
ghting integration in Souther Caro
lina, while in Tennessee there is
the Federation for Constitutional
Government. This latter organiza
tion is not confined to any one
state — in fact is even now spread
ing to Mississippi, Alabama, and
Louisiana. In Maryland, there is an
organization called the Maryland
Petition Committee.
Whether we agree with them or
not, it is better to see organiza
tions of this type formed than an
uprising of a Klu Klux Klan move
ment.
In times of racial foment in the
South in times past we have often
resorted to night-prowling, cross
burning, and a lot of secrecy in the
membership of the organization.
We are not going to try to list
here the items which Patriots of
North Carolina, Inc., can or cannot
do in its fight for segregation.
But at least we know who they
are. They listed their reason for
being — and they are out in the
open and above - board with their
intentions.

SPEECHLESS. . .My good fri
end, Albert Coats of Chapel Hill,
genial director of the Institute of
Government whose offices are si
tuated there, has a great reputa
tion for various accomplishments
and a lot of them are due to his
ability to talk under any and all
circumstances.
Such was not the case on at least
one occasion recently.
Albert met Capt. L. R. Fisher,
who now owns one of the most lu
crative beer distributorships in
North Carolina.
Fisher was one of the original
charter members of the Highway
Patrol who worked his way up to
become captain of the Western Di
vision of the Patrol and was the
only member of the Patrol to be
come Commissioner of Motor Ve
hicles.
It might be noted here that in
this time the Patrol increased from
the original 19 members to over
500. The Patrol Training School
was established under the coopera
tion of Capt. Fisher and Albert
Coats. It is still conducted by the
Institute of Government.
Now at the recent meeting of Fi
sher and Albert Coats, Albert shook
Fisher’s hand warmly and began
with profuse compliments and
words of friendship and praise.
He was abruptly interrupted by
Fisher:
“Well, I see you are still dish
ing out the same old salve. Al
bert, do you remember the many
times through the years when you
spoke to various groups — and ex
pecially when speaking to mem
bers of the Patrol -- you used to
put your arm around my shoulders
and say, ‘Yes sirree, when the his
tory of the the Highway Patrol of
North Carolina is written, here is
the man who will get the lion’s
share of the credit for the won
derful work he has done.’ ”
"Well,” Fisher said to Albert,
“some time ago you came out with
your talked - about book on the
Patrol — and nowhere in your book
was my name even mentioned --
so don't hand me any more of your
salve.”
With that, Fisher strode away --
leaving Albert standing there spe
echless — which is hard to believe,
but true.
RECAPTURE WILKES?.
For some little while now the You
ng Democrates of the Wilkes Coun
ty area have been planning for the
big rally in North Wilkesboro on
Friday, September 2.
The Democrats took over Wilkes
for a short spell about a generation
ago, but couldn’t keep their grasp.
Now it is one of the real Republi
can strongholds of the nation again
and the Democrats — young and
old -- are determined to do some
thing about it.
As one of their representatives
expressed it at the Winston-Salem
rally last week end - “We were
successful in getting rid of boot
leggers. Now we are going to get
rid of Republicans.’’
Anyway, a large crowd is expect
ed at North Wilkesboro — one of
which we hope to be one . . .
LANDIS. . . .These Young De
mocrats about the State are ex
ceptionally busy these days. Anoth
er turnout crowd is expected for
the rally being planned for Landis.
This will be held on Saturday af
ternoon, September 3.
While it will not be as big a
to do as the one held in Winston
Salem last week, the Democrats
in the Morganton - Hickory - New
ton area can be exceptionally vi
gorous at times.
PARK DEDICATION. . .Raleigh
which has never been exactly sa
tisfied with the name of the big
beautiful State park which lies just
outside its city limits toward Dur
ham, should be happier now that
it is officially the William B. Um
stead Park. Umstead is a good sub
stitute for Crabtree, the name of
a creek which cuts a section of
the park and serves in general as ,
the northern and northwestern bo- ,
undary of Raleigh.
We went out to the dedication .
Sunday afternoon.
One of the most impressive fea- ,
tures of the dedication was the fine
little, modest statement made by ,
the Governor’s Widow. The State
is now spending approximately j
$50,000 in improving the roads in i
the park.
Amos Kearns of High Point, ch
airman of the Parks Committee on
the Dept. Of Conservation and De- '
velopment and the man who su
pervised plans for the dedicatory l
exercises was master of ceremon- i
ies. Did a good job, too. It was a 1
fine occasion, well attended by peo- I
pie from Raleigh, Durham, and i
other sections of the State.

The Western India Missions
(Presbyterian, U.S.A.) has merged
into the Kolhapur Church Council
(presbytery) of the United Church
of Northern India. “The Mission
now turns over its responsibilities
to the strong indigenous Church,
the establishment of which was its
reason for existence,” says an
American Presbyterian leader.
“This vindicates the sacrificial gi
ving of American Presbyterians
and the sacrificial living of the
many missionaries sent to India by
our Church. The present mission
aries now become ‘fraternal work
ers’ and join the group of frater
nal workers in Japan, the Philip
pines, Chile, and Europe. The new
integrated Church Council has
called a fraternal worker, the Rev.
Gordon M. Ruff, as its executive
secretary; an Indian, the Rev. R.
S. Bhandare, who recently did gra
duate work in Princeton Seminary,
as assistant - secretary; another
Indian as treasurer.
According to recent statistics
made available in Japan, the Kyo
ian (the united Church of Christ
in Japan) is the largest single Pro
testant Christian body in that coun
ty. Its membership is more than
155,000 Christians throughout the
country as well as an enrollment
>f 111,000 children in church scho
>ls. The church ministers through

vangelical stations,” or preaching
centers. Japanese subscriptions for

versities, colleges, schools, kinder
’artens, social and rural work cen
ers are affiliated with the united
Church.
The German diplomatic mission

he Democratic Executive Commit
ee of Forsyth County, he was in
he forefront of the planning and
lad good assistance from the vice
vhairman, Mrs. W. O. Spencer.
Aside from the planned program,
he main activity was concerned
irospective candidates, and their
vith handshaking and jockeying for
ilanned. But nothing concrete and
losition on the part of candidates,
ored three organizations for the re
lief program they carried on in
Germany during the postwar
years. Original paintings were pre
sented to heads of the Red Cross,
the Baptists, and the Seventh-Day
Adventists in appreciation for their
humanitarian service.
The aboriginal Batak people in
the Kisaran area of Northeastern
Sumatra are observing the twenty
fifth anniversary of the entrance
of American Methodist missionar
ies there by the dedication of two
new churches. The Rev. Ragnar
Aim, a Swedish - born Methodist
missionary with twenty - four
years’ service in Indonesia, des
cribes the Batak church as “com
ing of age.” One of the twenty-five
year-old congregations is a rural
church, and the other a thriving
city church, he says. One of the
new churches serves a new village
community, and the other, dedicat
ed in December, is at Membang
Muda, a hospital center.
At Ndjazeng Leprosarium, near
Elat, French Cameroun, a new hos
pital was recently dedicated. The
building was erected entirely by
the patients each of whom had
learned at the Leprosarium one of
the following trades: sawing, car
pentry, tile making, brick making,
and masonry. Twenty - two pa
rents have received training as
•nedical assistants or nurses. Am
ang the more than 2,000 people at
he dedication were the head of the
Uedical Service of Cameroun, the
■ Secretary of the Federation of
Churches and Missions in Fre"
Equatorial Africa, and mission; at
co-workers. The Rev. Albert E7
Whiley, Presbyterian missionary!
explained the aims of the Lepro
sarium :
The Delhi Annual Conference of
the Methodist Church in India has
adopted a resolution thanking the
Punjab province government for
ending what the conference termed
discrimination against India Christ
ians of scheduled caste origin (low
economic and social classes) in
tranting scholarship help and other
economic and social assistance.
The resolution asked that a com
mission, appointed by the Indian
Government to report on assistance
to backward classes, recommend
that grants - in - aid from any
public source for economic and so
cial betterment be administered
without regard to grants for edu
cation, wells, sanitation, etc.” It
declares "funds of the government
should not subsidize one religion
(Hinduism) and penalize another
(Christianity).”

Sometimes, a bargain is measured by how little you pay.
Sometimes, it’s measured by how much you get.
But here’s one that’s a whopping bargain by both measures.
Because right now-for the leastest money of the year —
you can buy the mostest Buick in history.
That, Mister, is because we’re adding a profit-sharing
bonus allowance 6n top of the long trade-in allowances
we’ve been making all year.
And when we say the “mostest” Buick, we mean the
most-wan.ted Buick ever built —the one that has broken
every record in the book—outselling by far all other cars
except the two most widely known smaller ones.
We mean the Buick that brings you the most for your
money in terms of mighty V8 Power —of real family-size
room-of bold fresh styling. The one that gives you the
most buoyant ride ever born of all-coil springing.
And we mean the only car blessed by the smooth magic
of Variable Pitch Dynaflow* —world’s first transmission
built on the switch-pitch principle of the modern plane’s
propeller.
Come on in. We’re ready and waiting to make you the
deal of your life on the most thrilling Buick ever.

today. It is standard on Roadmaster, optional at modest extra
' % cost on other Series.
