MUCH TEACHING NEEDED
ROCKY MOUNT We shall
never forget the wisdom of the late
James Davis, railroad man of
Washington Street, who could not
write his own name legibly. When
some would get to disagreeing in
an NAACP meeting Davis would
say: ‘T've been colored (actually
he used another word) three times;
colored baby, colored boy and now
a colored man. We people need a
heap of teaching."
Timer words were nevei spoken
than those uttered by that sincere
native of the Palmetto State who
supported the ideals of the NAAC-
P to the fullest and tried to get
others to do likewise We have of
ten referred to his words of wis
dom.
Years ago we sold phonograph
records house-to-house We recall
one wherein the composer said:
"You’ll be missing when you die for
telling so many lies." We certainly
know a bunch of preachers whose
use of the trufh is so loose until
they fall into that, category of ir
responsibility. This is sickening de
cent people.
If we cannot look up to our
preachers (ministers, wed like to
think of them as being) as emblems
of the BEST that Manhood repre
sents, true apostles of God. seek
ing to give us that which is
TRUTHFUL and UPRIGHT then
we'd as well, or better have no
preachers of that hyprocritical
type, looking only for money and
social enjoyment without regard
to the advancement of his congre
gations.
This week a friend, seeking to
get a few NAACP memberships at
churches, asked a relatively young
minister, who likes to be called
Doctor’ (because*he got some for
eign ‘degree’) to call for an offer
ing for NA.ACP. This preacher,
who incidentally is a public school
principal. REFUSED the request
for the NAACP offering, obvious
ly because he feared being tagged
as suporting NAACP and someone
telling his boss.
This man "needs a heap of tea
ching" to make him truly big IN

* * *
In the three business reces
sions of the past ten years, 1954,
1958 and the first part of 1960.
several months prior to the
slump taking place, credit was
made scarce. In 1954 and 1958
the ship was put back on an
even keel by loosening credit.
It is too early to tell what will
happen in 1960, but it is felt
by many there is the danger
that this frequent listing of the
ship may result in a situation
where it cannot right itself.

j The governors of the Fed
; eral Reserve Board are, by
and large, men of Integrity.
But they are usually drawn
from the vitrified atmosphere of
major financing.
» * *
Grandiose plans by a few
big industrialists mean nothing
if Main Street cannot sell the
products of these factories.
* » *
It is also possible that to
combat inflation, credit should
be made scarce for purpose of
building more productive ca
pacity. But that does not neces
sarily mean that low cost credit
is not needed to expand distri
bution facilities in the nation.
* * *
It i* quite possible for the
controlling body of a nation's
credit to get so engrossed in
one segment of the economy
that it loses sight of the others.
* * *
And after all, the furnaces
of Pittsburgh, the assembly
line* of Detroit, are useless
junk unless there are healthy
distribution facilities on Main
Street. Thus, handling of na
tion’s credit is too vital a thing
to be left with a restricted view
point. Small Business presenta
tion on Federal Reserve Board
appear# to be long over due.
