WISE YOUTH JOINS JOB
CORPS
BY J. B. HARKEN
ROCKY MOUNT - Al9-year
old school drop-out, who left
the classroom when In the tenth
grade -two years ago - has
seen the error of his ways
and has joined the Job Corps
and left by airliner for the camp
at Fort Breckenridge at Mor
ganfield, Ky,
James A. Baker, is the son
of Mrs. Adtiie B. Baker, 102
Overbrook Drive.
James Baker had tried his
hand at several jobs and found
that he was lacking training
and education to secure and Isold
the better jobs to say nothing
of advancing himself. Then he
heard about the Job Corps; that
‘The Man’ was coming to town.
Baker met ‘The Man’ and ‘got
the message’ real good. James
took the tests and lost no time
in signing up for what he saw
was a sure thing io get an edu
cation and learn electronics,
one of his favorite vocations.
Then, the gallant youth de
termined that he would join the
Marines after serving in the
Job Corps. His penchant for
travel helped influence his de
cision to join the Marine Corps
after getting his high school dip
loma in Job Corps.
James has pledged to send
the $25 monthly pay he gets
over and above his learning on
the-job crafts and getting his
schooling, board and lodging, to
his mother. There are hun
dreds of youngsters loafing a
round who would do themselves
and their families much good if
they would follow Baker’s pat
tern and contact the nearest
Job Corpsman, go back to school
where they can earn while they
learn. In East Tarboro and
East No. Main Streets. In oth
er areas, information may be
obtained irom the post office,
sheriff, police chief, mayor or
welfare office.

VERNON ROSS, a 19-year-old
Washington High School senior,
earnestly and eloquently, de
livered the message Feb. 20
when youth had complete charge
of the services at Mt. Pisgan
United Presbyterian Church.
Ross discoursed on the terms
“Youth What in the World are
We Waiting For"?” Ross plead
for tolerance of youth by their
elders, reminding the adults
that they, too were once fri
volent and seemed headed to de
struction before they got ser
ious in life. Given the chance
and proper guidance, Ross said
most youth will weather the
storm and become good citizens
and Christians. Ross is aspir
ing to the ministry.
Ross urged all youth to be
gin to get serious about life
that they find themselves and
then they can serve humanity
much better,

COUNCILMAN RAY NAACP
SPEAKER
Tarboro’s first colored Town
Councilman since the Recon
struction Era was the guest
speaker at a recent fund-rais
ing dinner of the Rocky Mount
Branch NAACP, Dr. Moses
Alexander Ray, dentist, who won
a seat on the Tarboro Town
Council (Tarboro is officially
a iown-not a city) has wrought
well since being on the board.
He has received acclaim from
both Negroes and whites for his
services in helping to get things
done without causing strife be
tween the races, Token school
integration is working smooth
ly, and employment in Industry
and business is moving upward,
cautiously.
Speaking to a $2.50 per plate
dinner attended by a small group
of loyal NA AC Per s, Council
man Ray urged Negroes to “re
double your efforts in getting
our people out to register and
then work just as hard to get
them back to vote,’’ noting that
voting is the most effective wea
pon the Negroes can use in
gaining complete freedom and
equality. “Negroes need to
busy themselves in the politi
cal arena with qualified ap
plicants and integration on all
prominent civic committees,”
Ray said.
Dentist Ray warned that
“there Is a great danger of
alienation of the so-called mid
dle-class Negroes from the la
boring group and the masses”
as he referred to the immor
tal Frederick Douglass - the
first great Negro abolitionist
who was able to get the ear'
and following of the masses.
This, we must do today, Ray
■ warned.
Then, taking a poke at Ne
groes who are willing to spend
large sums of money for rec-'
reation projects, and expensive
autos, while refusing to invest
in such community progress
projects as credit unions, sav
ings and loan associations and
farm cooperatives. “How many
could, (would) willingly, $l5O
and $lO per month for the
next 40 years to build a bank,
credit union, savings and loan
or community merchantile sup
ply store?” Ray asked.
Fay warned that Negroes
should not become enchanted
with integration lo the extent
of forsaking all Negro busi
nesses because the whites have"
finer places. He mentioned
how fifty men paid $7 each for
2 hours dining a white motel
just for the name of It. “Its
folly to think we can afford such
luxuries,” he said, when NA
ACP gets little from us. al
though it has fronted our every
legal battle to win these rights.
