A WORD TO PARENTS
ROCKY MOUNT - We just
had to stop what we were doing
and tell you what we just heard
Howard Whitman say on "Em
phasis People.” It was letter
than gossip, so we are passing
tt on to jou. Why keep a good
tning from your friends?
Whitman is a ,v 11-known ra
dio commentator who speaks
words of wisdom. Here goes:
Whitman says psychologists
have found out that the under
privileged child if. not always
the most trouble to society;
that too freqnenU;. the over
privileged child <>'. voungstet
has become even mm e or a
problem because of the over
indulgence which the well-heel
ed or above-average parent has
permitted his pampered off
spring to enjoy.
The sad part is, as Whitman
siated the case, that many such
parents allow th ir better judg
ments to be clouded by suc
cumbing to whims and temper
•tantrums of the children, which
further spoils them and makes
them over-bearing and conniv
ing in getting their own way,
thereby setting bad examples
for oth.o le‘ss precocius chil
dren.
Whitman told of a girl whose
life was ruined by just such
indulgence by her parents, who
lived to regret it when their
coddled daughter was dismissed
from the private school to which
.she demanded to be sent instead
a the local public school. Her
husband warned her that it would
lie best to lot r.er remain at
the home school, but the ever
loving daddy yielded to the
daughter's tantrums. At the
private sehooi there was disci
pline and the girl - although
pampered and wcalthy-had to
abide to the rules or go home
as she did. Many a child has
realized too late that his pa
rents' having put up with their
whims did them the greatest
injustice of all. There are
stories of men going to their
death or, the gallows, and tell—
in . neir parents in their last
is that they (the parents)
.‘it to blame for not having
chastized them in youth,
think on these things parents
when you do chores at home
which you should be training
youi children to do so they
will learn how to accept re
sponsibility for helping to make
th heme a really happy home.
Those hildren will, in turn
make good marriages and good
citizens.
Children who have enjoyed
fewer luxuries make the best
citizens - in most instances.

The 14 youths of the Laurin
burg, N. C. and McColl, S.
C. area are now being charg
i with, the abduction and al
■. rape of a woman taken
ii\ m a dance hall, must not
have a sister, daughter or aunt.
' ;ch action would seem to indi
cate that they are less than hu
van beings!
With ages ranging from 17
"oars to 22, one wonders if
they can ever look their moth
ers in the face again? Cer
tainly, they care little about
tiie heartache they have caus
ed the mothers.

TATUM, S. C„ - On Sunday,
Jan. 16, Sunday School was o
pened at 10:30 a. m. at the Mount
Zion Baptist Church by the
Supt., Deacon Curtis Bethea,
Following Sunday School
morning services were led by
the pastor, the Rev. V. s.
Singletary. The subject of his
message was: "Stumbling
Block.” It was a soul-stirring
sermon.
After service, Holy Com
munion was administered by the
paste:,
Anyone having news of Tatum,
is asked to please contact the
Rev, c„ L. Bethea at Rt, 3,
Box 60, Bennett svllle, S. C,
meeting of the Tarheelia Good
Neighbor Council under the
capable leadership of David S.
Coltrane, the man who has,
doubtless, lived up to the ex
pectations of former Gov. Terry
(The Terribly Good) Sanford,
who appointed him when racial
tensions were at fever heat four
years ago.
The Education and Psycholo
gy Building (name) where we
met seemed quite appropriate
for the subject at hand; Better
Interracial Relations and Job
Opportunities for Negroes. All
In all, we feel that much was
gained when about sixty-odd
whites can meet, talk, walk and
then eat with some forty color
ed citizens; then return to the
assembly and discuss, very
frankly, the delicate issue of
race relations without any show
of anger tempers being rais
ed.
When you realize that may
ors, sheriffs, policemen and
fanners-unaccustomed to such
settings - take it in strides
with their clergymen and a few
educators, whose advice to give
the Negroes a better break
they have been reluctant to heed,
whether from the pulpit or the
town hall conference, this rep
resents much progress in East
Carolina
The rule of the Good Neigh
bor Council -a principal key
to its effectiveness, even though
sometimes slow - has been that
they have refused to give undue
publicity to their deliberations,
whether they were favorable or
unfavorable, less they arouse
the rable of their communities,
who would organize to thwart
their efforts for advancement
of the Negroes’ opportunity in
any given area. Fortunately,
most Negroes have accepted
tills, even when prone to re
joice - publicly -about some
gains made. Because of this
we are at libertu to wuote
individuals, especially those on
the local or community levels.
We will have to march around
the wall of segregation many
more times before we can shout.
The accent is on training our
youths for the jobs now open
to them. The whites are pre
sently able to trump our hands
because when they call for job
applicants we cannot produce
qualified persons. When a high
school child or adult cannot
tell what five yards of cloth
at $1.50 per yard amounts to;
or a sixth-grader can’t correct
ly add 4 plus 4 similar num
bers, we’re embarrassed.
Then when a plant starts giv
ing all races a job and some
of our people work only one
day, or one week at the most
and quit, we’re hurt, again. The
answer is training.
If our ministers will cut down
on the shouting and start or
ganizing training and coaching
classes for these people; and
encourage - even demand - that
members of congregations at
tend these night classes to im
prove themselves, we’ll start
upward. It’s no disgrace to
learn some more folks. At
sixty-seven, this writer is going
to school.
You are smart if you go to
school. You are only dumb
if you don’t go, especially with
free education all around you
nowadays!!
Cory-Asbwy
ily goes out from the communi
-ty for the loss of their hus
band and son, Mr. Walter Ker
sey, Jr., whose eulogy was
delivered Tuesday at Mt. Zion
Baptist Church with Rev. Isaac
Lee officiating.
BLOT OUT THE BRAND OF
CAIN
If I must turn the othei* cheek
And walk the second mile
Give me, Dear Lord, a heart
that’s meek
And send me with a smile.
If I am ask to give my coat
I’ll add my cloak an sought:
And to another need devote
Love which may not be
bought
The life you give seemed not
too great.
A sacrifice for mine, nor
for those who still await
The broken bread and wine.
If in each heart, your love
might reign
We must blot out the brand
of Cain.

After the business session,
the group enjoyed a discussion:
"Morals and Manners Count”,

in a question and answer per
iod. A large majority of the
