THE CAROLINIAN RALEIGH, N. C„ SATURDAY. OCTOBER 7, 1981 2 ODD-ENDS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) tend wit’h during their high school days that their sense of values were so confused they accepted the mis taken idea that it was useless for them to attempt to further their education.. We believe there- are several rea sons why less than one haif of the 1961 Ligon graduates are not now in schools of higher teaming. We also believe that it behooves the leadership in this community to start, finding out what these rea sons are and after finding what thev are, to do something to correct them. The spasmodic attempts marie by Negro organiaztions to improve the economic position of our group through better and larger employ ment opportunities should become unified, continuous and more fore ful and more direct. And, it would do a whole lot of good if the com munity would press for a better and a more adequate system of guidance and counseling in our schools, par ticularly our high schools. Some of this fault is unquestionably there. TRY TO IMA' .INK! You who read this, try to imagine if you can. what it would be like not to be able to read and write. If vou are looking for a particular house on a particular street, not to be able to read a street sign or a can or a package of food to say nothing of being able to read the directions for preparing it. Not to be able to use the telephone or the city directory; not to be able to recognize your own name in print or to sign your name, to read let ters addressed to you. to read the Bible and the daily newspapers Can you imagine yourself in such a deplorable condition. Well, believe it or not, rieht here in Raleigh, there are many, many ! persons so handicapped. These j functionally illiterates must make : an X when called upon to sign their names, they must depend upon , others to give them directions, to j jr. a d for them, to figure for thorn, , to read their mail, to toll them what j is in the newspapers In vast majority of these ill iter- ■ ates are not stupid in the degree I that they cannot learn. In many ; cases it is because no one has ever j taken the trouble to see that they ; learn to read and write | Now some one is concerned , enough about tne plight of these I people to do something about it. The Sojourner Truth branch of the YWCA is now conducting a class in adult, education for beginners Here under the capable guidance of efficient, understanding and tol- j f ., an t teachers, persons arc learning to read and write for the first time. ; If you are acquainted with persons , effected with illiteracy, why not j tell them about this glorious oppor- | (unity row available to them. Don t j .t ro at just telling them, encourage | them to avail themselves of what ti-,o -YW" has to offer them. Would n't you feci very good, if through \ our interest, you might be in strumental in helping even one per on overcome this great affliction.

Raleigh beat Atlanta by many months in open ing its chain store lunch counters to Negroes. The buses here have stopped try ing to enforce segregation. Bui, and we think it is a significant but, the Raleigh public schools do not hat'? any type of plan wherebv these schools might even eventually com ply with the anti-school segrega tion lavv, This year, for the first time, 9 Negro students are attending for merly all-white schools here. The proof that no attempt was made by the school board to proceed with school integration in an orderly manner of conformity is evidenced by the fact that in 1 home 1 Negro child was allowed to go to a school located within the area of her home .a factor, according to the school board, used in assigning this child to this school. On the other hand, the board refused a request made by the parents of this child, that it assign another one of its children to this school. Since Raleigh has no public golf courses there can be no comparison about them but, the parks in this city are still segregated, the public libraries are segregated. Much has been written and said about the racial intolerance, preju dice and bias in Georgia as com ■ pared to the tolerance, understand ing and goodwill practiced in j North Carolina. But the Master said, "By their fruits ye shall know them." EARL BROWN GETS N. Y. HORSING ROST (CONTINUED FROM PAGE U Federal Housing ,ird Home FI nance Agency in Washington. In announcing Brown's appoint ! ment. Mayor Wagner described him ;as a long-time acquaintance and a i "distinguished and valuable mem i ber of the City Council" with a fine i record in public office and broad j background in public affairs. ! In political circles, however, the j appointment was viewed by some las having been promoted, at least ! in part, by Brown's loyalty to the ! Mayor last winter when the coun | oilman incurred the anger of the j “regular” Democratic groups m i Harlem by voting for Edward R. ; Dudley to succeed former Borough j President Hulan E Jack of Man i hattar,. As a result of Brown's stand he was denied the Democratic nom ination for another term in the City Council.

There would be no call for such organi zations as the NAACP or CORE. “Last week 1 visited several plants cn the West Coast of firms which have developed what we call 'Plans for Progress' in the field of equal employment opportunity. In some of those plants I was informed that the rate of hiring of Negroes and Latin-Americans and Orientals has stepped up from one in twenty to one in ten—and in some case® even more frequent. “We of the President's Commit tee on Equal Employment Oppor tunity will work with you of the United States Information Agency in developing the information need ed for these reports oi wnaf is hap pening in the United States today.

Supreme court's 1:154 ruling that Negroes roust be admitted to ruble schools. Because Kennedy sent the nomi nation to the Senate in the waning hours of Congress, confirmation was - out of the question until next year But White House press secretary Pie: i e Salinger said Kennedy "mild give Marshall an interim ap pointment so that he could assume the $25,000 a year judgeship promptly. The second judicial circuit cov ers the states of New York, Con necticut and Vermont. Marshall, a Democrat, is a native of Baltimore, Md. who has been a resident cf New York City for some years. Kennedy also nominated seven new district judges, all Democrats, in a last-minute barrage of ap pointments as Congress prepared to close down for the year. These, j too, Salinger said, could expect in terim apnointments pending Senate confirmation next year, Marshall is the third Negro nam ed to the federal bench by Kennedy who perviouslv selected nominees of that race for district judgeships j in Michigan and Illinois;.
