WHO WILL REPLACE BARBEE
The vacancy on the Guilford County
Board of Commissioners left by the
untimely death of Mrs. Zoe Parks Barbee
has created one of the largest slates of
aspirants |mosti\ Black], ever expected.
Some deserving, while others simply
hope to gain a free ride.
It is clearly understood that the final
decision will be made by the remaining
members of the commissioners, but
hopefull\ the recommendation submitted
b> the democratic executive committee
will be looked upon as the wishes of the
people.
IVIan\ factors must be weighed in the
proper selection and no one element
should be the number one criteria.
(’erla!nl> the active display of seeking
that office should be considered, but that
alone cannot possible be priority number
one. After all, an\ person who is a citi/en
is eligible to run but that does not

necessarily characterize that person as
the best suited for the position.
Additionally, Mrs. Barbee was elected
for various reasons and those same
reasons must be employed in selecting
her successor. Number one, she was
Black, and that should be given' first
consideration. Number two, she was the
first woman, and that should be high on
the priority list. The voters showed b>
their overwhelming vote that the\ wanted
a woman, and the\ should not be denied
their wishes. Number three, she was
concerned. Concerned about the people.
Her compassion for her fellowman was
her outstanding attribute, and that factor
should not be lost in the shuffle.
Hopefully, the Count\ Commissioners
will weigh»all of these factors and seek to
find them whereever possible. Certainl>
finding a duplicate of Mrs. Barbee is next
to impossible, but ignoring the needs and
wishes of the people of this county is
unacceptable. Political pa>-offs cannot be
deployed at this time, and tapping a
triend will not be tollerated by the people
of this county. Some are already saying
that the actions of this occasion will
determine their future voting conduct.
Now, although the factors mentioned
above should be heavily weighed, this
newspaper wishes to make it clear that
the choice should come from the entire
community of Guilford County. Greens
boro should not be the only location
considered. The commissioners should
not close their eyes to High Point, and
Rural Guilford.
Lastly, the Blacks of this county would
like to see a true representative of the
Black community, and not a *‘smily’\
Alter all, Mrs. Barbee was elected and
she was a producer, and we, the Black
community , want no less.

Extensive Plans In Atlanta
King's Birthday To
Be Observed 4 Days
ATLANTA, GA. — The
46th Birthday Anniversary
of Dr. Martin Luther King,
Jr., will be observed in
January with four days of
activities in his home city of
Atlanta, including a
Conference on saving one of
the greatest achievements of
the movement Dr. King led
— the Voting Rights Act.
At the same time,
communities across the
nation will be holding
services, celebrations and
other activities honoring the
slain civil rights leader on
his birthday January 15.
THE EVENTS in Atlanta,
announced by The Martin
Luther King, Jr. Center for
Social Change, are as
follows:
January 12: “Martin
Luther King Sunday,” with
church services throughout
the city emphasizing Dr.
King’s life and teachings,
and receiving offerings for
the continuation of his work
through The Center.
JANUARY 13: The
Southern Policy Conference
on the Voting Rights Act.
This law, which helped to
revolutionize politics and
race relations in the South,
was passed by Congress in
1965 as the direct result of
the mass movement for
voting rights which began in
Selma, Ala. The Act is due to
expire in 1975.
The Conference, called by
The King Center, will be
held at Ebenezer Baptist
Chui'ch where Dr. King was
co-pastor with his father.
Movement leaders (Civil
Rights and Labor) and key
members of Congress will
be featured in discussions on
continuing voting problems
for Black people in the South
and strategy for renewal of
the Act in 1975.
JANUARY 14: Student
Activities in Colleges /and
Public and Private Schools.
January 15: An
Ecumenical Service at

White Not Always
Right In Job Arena
V\ ASIUNCTON — Recent
tomplaints of “reverse
discrimination" against
white men “reveal a
peculiarly ingrained type of
prejudice," National
Education Association
President James A. Harris
charged, adding that some
people “simply can't bring
themselves to believe that
■white males aren't always
Itnore qualified."
Harris made the charge in
She wake of an an-
Bouncement by Peter E.
Holmes, director of the
Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare's
Office of Civil Rights,
concerning college em
ployment practices. Holmes
indicated that federal af
firmative action guidelines
were beng widely misin
terpreted — there is no
requirement that less-
qualified women and
minority group members be
hired over white males, he
said.
HOl.MES’ announcement
came after several dozen
prominent university
professors complained to
President Ford that the
federal government’s af
firmative action program is
■‘unjust and
discriminatory.”
Harris pointed out that
NEA has never been under
the impression that college
affirmative action
programs called for a drop
in employee quality. “On
the contrary," he said,
“fully qualified women and
minorities have been
systematically excluded
from top faculty jobs while
preference was given to
white males."
IF \V()MP;N or minorities
win top jobs, some people
assume that standards must
have been lowered, Harris
commented.
The NEA leader warned
that “we must not allow the
HEW statement to be used
as a new defense for the old
bigoted thinking.’
