"INSOLUBLE RIDDLE’ ROCKY MOUNT - The News end Observer has very timely ed;- . torialized upon the ‘'riddle” of how wil? the “'thousands of seasonal fobacco workers manage to sur vive from now until the markets open late next summer, when all visible employment has just ter minated?" This is one of the curses of east ern Tarheelia where we have watched for 35 years as the work season grows shorter and shorter for these people and all concerned, During the past season or so we have viewed, with arlarm. the action of our legislators in enact ing laws which would exclude from employment benefits thou sands of these people whose job tenure was short: in some cases purposely made short by heartless wealthy employers of the tobacco industry. Such action smacks of reprisals against a helpless minori ty who are at the mercy of capita lists. Hopping About TARHEELIA By Jay Be© Aytch HIGH SCHOOL 'FALL-OUT: “12 THINGS NEGRO MUST BO ROCKY MOUNT We have de scended the Blue Ridge Moun tains from the NCPTA convention in Asheville last week where on* of the themes was what to do a bon’ the alarming ‘fall-out’ rate es colored students in high schools and colleges ever the nation. The -am? was discussed at the North rsstirn Teachers' meeting the pre vious week in Wilson, down in the Tobacco Belt. This ‘week w» found a principal nctyby who wants to make a survey to get some answers to the big question. Offhand, we know that much of it is due to lack of finance on the part of thousands of tenant-farmer families as well as small home owners who live on the marginal !me of subsustence. Many cannot or will not budget their small in come to allow their children to stay in school even thru high school, to say nothing of college entrance. Others are 100 quick to squander their income for non-essentials, such *r television sets, more ex pensive autos than they can af ford expensive clothes and high priced toys on a par with ths wealthy or “middle-class’ citizens whose job security ind salary are more or less ’standardized.’ Then worst of all - too many youths are engrossed in having a good time instead of buckling down to learn all they can in the abbreviated term they are in school due to the rural colored stu dent having to stay out to work the crops in early fall and late spring seasons. These factors seem not to impress our children when they are told that they must stu dy the dictionary and Bible to be able to compete with other race croups in this economic tug-o’war for survival. WHERE ARE THEY? The anonymous principal said his school’s current senior class of 41 students started four years ago with 140 members as freshmen (He was not there then. Ke wants to search for the remedy to this, which he asserts is a greater fall out than the county average. DR RIDLEY SAID: The Elizabeth City (N.C.

Ridley, president, as saying in s vesper message students must determine :f they desire to be of service to humanity, or merely came to school in get away from home and work and to have a good time. Quoting from the book “12 Things The Negro Must Do For Himself' . President Ridley said: ’ The Negro must learn to put first things first, education develop ment of character trait*, a trade end home ownership. (S' “The Ne gro must keep himself, hie chil dren and his home clean and make the surroundings in which ha live* comfortable and attractive.

Then. too. if they were or ganized—the work has been taken away thru automation. Certainly, as the N. and G. says, many people don't want to admit that this injustice is being done to minority-group citizens, most of whom are honest, law-abiding and willing to give fair labor for a fair wage. Yes. the'll work and keep out of crime and vice if giv en a chance at other employment on a Ron-discriminatory basis.

He needs an experience similar to one Ezekiel (in the Bible) had. <l2> “The Negro must stop forgetting his friends; REMEMBER.” Ridley concluded by quoting Fred Douglass when he said: “A race which c-nnot save Its earn ings; which spends all it makes and goes into debt when it is sick; can never rise in ifoa scale of civ ilization, no matter under what, laws it may chance to be. “If the time shall ever tews when we shall possess in the col ored people of the United States, a class of men noted for enter prise, economy, and success, we shall no longer have any trouble in the matter of civil and politi cal rights.” MET.
