Other Editors Opinions— It is surprising how many/Ameri cans believe their principal, racial problem is confined to the South. For the fact is that nearly one-third of the Negroes in the United States now live in the North. They are laTgely concentrated in “cities” within cities, twelve having a pop ulation of 100,000 each and three nearly 1,000,000 each. And adjust; ments are by no means always easy or peaceful, as recurrent dis turbances prove. * There is no legal segregation in the North but segregation forms the general pattern wherever large groups of Negroes are found. Their own desires to live among their own kind plus economic pressures tend to restrict them to certain crowded and deteriorating neigh borhoods. And since children nor mally attend schools nearest their homes segregation naturally go verns, there too as a'general prac tice. Such segregation, although never touching the experience of millions of Northerners, greatly concerns many city and school officials. In some cases they are attempting to force a rfrixing of races—even go ing across lyormal school zones to do it. The theory is that mixing is kse]f educational. Directly involved is the old concept of the “melting pot” as an adjunct of democracy. And there is Insistence'. on the right of .equal opportunity. Considering the official and poli tical efforts to Combat segregation .in the North it has proved remark ably, persistent. In several respects it resembles a phenomenon Ameri can cities have long known — im migrants from abroad forming their own racial or national enclaves, maintaining their own eustany and languages^ even,their ownJRws papers. Often the forces making such clannishness come as much from within as from without. So it is with the American Negro —in the Northi and the South. Too often it is assumed that segregation is a wholly artificial pattern^ en forced by unworthy prejudice. Some of it is like that. But much segregation comes 'about naturally through the Same processes of selection which cause individuals to choose likeminded associates or families to seek congenial neigh borhoods, And white resistance to Negro migrations within cities arises partly from the fact that such movements are usually, in groups—due in turn to Negro de sires to have friends or relatives as neighbors. f Officials in the North who are trying to forcet a mixing in the face of such forces of natural se lection should be able better to understand why desegregation moves slowly in the South.

From Pago 6 and ride across Bogue Sound on a boat I’ve always been a “chow hound’’ and that ride by car and boat did nothing to discourage my appetite that day. We climbed the highest dune and spread that fine food. You know the rest of the story without my going' any fur ther. That’s one of the few times I ewer ate-a meal “whole”. Just break off hunks and swallow it without Chewing. I got enough grit in any craw that day to last me a t lifetime, and I’ve never indulged in that kind of outing since, and don’t intend to either. Which is enough of my opinions and experiences. I’ll winij up by telling you an old story which is still my favorite after more than 20 years: Two five year-old boys were standing on a comer when a five yearold girl walked by. One boy turned to the other and said: “Her neck’s dirty”. The other gasped, “Her does?” If you don’t like that you ain’t I New* From Negro Agents "4-H'ER PROUD OF DAIRY PROJECT" Gjoflge ffill a 4-H member of Pollocfcsvilie Route one Is very proud, of his -dairy project.
