THE CAROLINIAN— 2Oth Anniversary Edition WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 38. 1981 ODD-ENDS (continukd nws! paos i> constitutes the bulk of a Negro newspaper's readers, is very dis cerning and highly critical. The criteria of these readers is white newspapers. They demand and ex pect the Negro newspaper to be almost a carbon copy of the white news sheet They constantly tell the Negro publisher that his paper docs not measure up to the papers published by the whites. During the twenty years of the Carolin ian's existence here In Raleigh, it has been compelled to make Sts te dious way facing this type of criti cism and appraisal. We would be the last to that Negro readers of Negro newspapers should not wish for the paper* pub lished by members of their race to compare favorably wlht other pa duty these readers owe their race the privilege but that it is also a duty these reader sowe their race publications. We cannot, however, understand why or how these crit ics can really expect Negro news papers to match thewhite dailies in news coverage, feature articles and displays. Here in Raleigh, the Car olinian is faced with competition from newspapers with a back ground of experience and resources and knowhow extending back over four score years. It is hard for any thing and particularly a 20-year old Negro newspaper to compete on even terms with something that has been building up over three quarters of a century However, a constant challenge, high expectations and a steady de mand for excellence on the part of the public is both healthy and wholesome. These demands and ex pectations have stimulated the Carolinian to strive for more qual ity, a higher degree of excellence, a wider sphere of service and a greater desire for perfection. The Carolinian reading public can help it attain the goals they expect of it by giving it a bigger and more consistently loyal sup port, The management of the Caro linian welcomes your coming to it with your criticism and suggestions for improvement. You will be able to get the type of paper you expect and want to read much qucker by supporting it with your subscrip tion and by feeling free to discuss " ith the paper’s management any angle of its operation you feel should be changed. With your support and coopera tion. the next 20 years cf the Caro ’inian’s life can mean a lot to you, he community and to the Caro linian The dailies may, from your present point of view, seem to off er you more of what you expect from a newspaper but, remember this, the Carolinian is YOUR mouthpiece, it constantly speaks out in YOUR behalf without apolo gizing to anyone. It gives your race first class employment on all levels, it freely devotes its time, money and its talents to causes sponsored !>y and representing you. It says 'he thing you want said in your behalf. Now, if you will carefully evaluate the many benefits the Carolinian is constantly bringing to you. what yard stick can you use when you place the white dailies above or equal to YOUR Carolin ian'’ ASK YOUR GOVERNOR TO ACT A few weeks ago Gov. Sanford ‘rid his news conference that this tales one-fourth Negro popula i n should be given greater em r/oymrnt opportunities. He said •hat if this were done, the economy r f the whole state would be greatly improved The governor said that be did not believe that anv type of pressure or force should he used in trying to achieve this desired i nd He left the impression that he would like to see industry in the state see the need for such action art fr> act accordingly. We are against force being used fer anvthing. We don't want it used to get jobs for Negroes. We don't wart it to continually he used to keep them from getting lobs force of habit or any other kind. As for pressure, we feel that it is altogeth er another thing.

We would like to see this pres sure being applied first on the gov ernor, We think he has both e moral and a legal duty to act In his capacity as governor to see that the state stops its discrimiantory practices in hiring its workers. We feel that if the governor’s office was bombarded with letters, tele grams, cards, etc. urging him to take the lead in helping Negroes to share in this state's employment pie, industry would follow suit. Gov, Sanford is your governor Your votes were largely instrumen tal in his victory at the polls. You expected him to change the old existing pattern of discrimination because of color. Now is the time to let him know exactly how you feel. Do it NOW. THE OLD, OLD STORY Despite the fact that school of ficials have frowned upon money raising activities in our schools, we see students, mostly girls, still pa rading the streets selling tickets for different school activities. This is a vicious, immoral practice, it should be stopped NOW. God knows our young girls have enough, more than enough tempta tions to face without being placed in a competition for school honors which are dependent upon the a mount of money they are able t» bring to the school. No one can cn* vince us that these schools are con cerned about 1: :w these girls get this mney. No one can cnvince us that the temptation to be a queen has not induced some of these girl solicitors to succumb to the bait offered them by unscrupu lous vultures posing as men. We hope to live to see the day when this unnecessary and decen erate practice can be stamped out ompletel •. With all the hue and cry now being raised about juve nile delinquency the schools that continue to send young girls into the streets to solicit funds are just as guilty of contributing to juve nile delinquency as are the liquor and dope sellers. Dor our part, they should be dealt with in the same manner. CONVICTED COP KILLER GIVEN LEASE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE l> liceman Johnny R. Annas.

It has long since been known that there were quite a few Elks who were dissatisfied with the way the "Grand" is running the once powerful organization. He has been charged, in some ; quarters, with having thrown out I many of the big names. This is said to have caused some diacon tcr.t Reynolds, however, states that I he found that he had tn build from j the top down instead of from the ; bottom up. for the sake of economy. New Names Found | Many new names are now found I in the official roster and many new i people in the driver’s seat, as a j gainst those that were synonymous | with Finley Wilson and Bob John : son. Many state organizations have | been given a face lifting and this iis said to be due to Reynolds' in | fluence. It is to be remembered (that the success of the 1961 Grand j I edge, he ld in New York.

This was .--.on most clearly after the Civil War When our people, fresh put of slavery', rolled up their c]eevos and he van ore of the great - jest organizing drives of a people in I n?) the history of the United States ” | "A wonderful part of this organ izing drive was the establishment of fraternal orders, out of whose life and works we found our bear ings and helped the nation itself to chart a course which still is in the process of realizing those stand ards of human behavior without which a nation will perish."

St. Agnes Featured Saint Agnes Hospital, which ceesel operations in April of 1911, after 66 years of operations is feat ured in a recent edition of the Journal of the National Medical Ai’jdocl&tions The artic, is written by Dr. W. Montague Cobb of Howard U ntversity, editor of the Journal, Photograph* are used ex tensively to illustrate the ac tk'Uvej, which were carried on at the facility. Important Negro personal- Hits who were connected with the hospital are cited by the author. Dr. Cobb said that until about the mid 1930’s St. Agnes had made slow progress and it was en visioned that is might be develop ed into a first-class modern in stitution. St. Agnes, established on the grounds of St. Augustine’s College, was referred to in 1822, despite obvious handicaps, as the only well-equipped hospital between ’Washington and Now Orleans, serving not only North Carolina, but adjacent Virginia and South Carolina. Area Politics Liven Up As far as Negroes are concerned, politics in the Wake County area has taken a decided upswung. The election of John W. Win ters. a Raleigh real estate op erator and a relatively new comer to the political arena, to the Raleigh City Council last spring, marked the first time a Negro has been elected to apo litical office In Wake County since the beginning of this cen tury with the exception of S or 4 Justices of the Peaces. Prior to Winters' election several Negroes had tried unsuccessfully to land a seat on the seven-man body which governs the capital city. As a matter of fact, Negro can didate have been running for a council post since the change from a commission form of city govern ment was made here In nearly a score of years ago. About five years ago. Dr Nelson Harris made an unsuccessful at tempt to win one of Wake County’s three seats in the State Legislature. Harris ran fifth in a field of eight candidates. Harris’ boldness in cam paigning for a post which no Negro has held in this state for over 75 years, created quite a stir in local political circles. Efforts to get more Negroes reg istered here have met with varying degrees of success. Before the change over from a commission to the present council city manager form Ffrere were up ward sos ten thousand Negroes on the city's registration books. These votes were not effective in bringing any bene fits, to the Negro commun ity because they were largely con trolled by political bosses, ward heelers and stoogies. Through the manipulations of these henchmen, candidates were elected who felt that their obligations to their Ne gro constituents were satisfied by making cash payments to their po litical bosses.

P&, ago, a!! registered voters who fail to vote daring a four-year period are deprived of their voting right* natil they regis ter again. This measure had the effect of bring the number of Negro registrants down to leas than 3,000. Several factors, the Harris cam paign, tiie abortive attempts of Ne grose to win a seat on the City Council, the awakening desire of Negroes to participate as equals in all areas of living and many other things that caused the Ne groes in the Raleigh area to stage a registering and voting comeback. Through the efforts of the various organizations, the NAACP, Hie Ra leigh Citizens Association, Greek letter fraternities and sororities and a newly formed organization, The Raleigh Womens Voting Council, the Negro voting strength was in creased to around 8,000 in Wake County. One of the most spirited cam paigns ever waged here saw Dr. Grady D. Davis go down to defeat ir a contest for a seat in the House of Representatives of the N. C. Gen eral Assembly. This campaign in the sjrring of 1980, saw Negroes standing in line at the polls for over 4 hours waiting for a chance to vote. Davis didn't win but his impres sive showing had a bit to do with the success of Winters in his cam paign for the City Council in 1961. It was satisfying to note that, for the first time in recent history, the white voters seemingly decided that The time had come for them to help elect a Negro to the Raleigh City Council. Thir vote plus the many thousand votes cast by Negroes, re sulted in Winters’ election. It is felt that a new day has dawned for the Negro in the po litical life of this community. By his increasing use of the elective franchise, his emergence as a first class citizen is asured. i Grand Lodge and the Widow Son, No. 4; Exceisior No, 21; Mentor 55 and the Ruth Chap ter No. 2, Order of the East tern Star, The host district, Past Masters | Council, and local lodges are ex- I pectins? the largest delegation in the history of the Grand Lodge and are laying plans for an elabo rate and constructive program.
