Davis, instructor at Harrison and local Shriner formed the Knights of Daniel Club for young men between 11-14 years of age in order to curb juvenile de linquency.

B. Harri son and the Community. In an interview with Mr. Da vis, it was' learned that several factors have brought about this unrest in students at Harrison; 1. Parents tend to allow their children to fend for themselves and do not participate actively with them. 2. Recreation for young boys was not an organized element in Selma, but was becoming a deterrent to understanding be havior problems. 3. Lack of responsibility and Uacolaville AMI Church REV.

J, a BARREN "MAN, PORTRAIT IN CONTRAST,** FLEMING TELLS RKY MT, METROPOLITAN BAPTISTS ROCKY MOUNT - Sped king to the newly-organized Metropoli tan Missionary Baptist here at the Lincoln School auditorium, Sunday morning, the Rev. John W. Fleming, Shaw University religious education instructor, impressed upon his hearers that "man is a Portrait in Con trast" who is constantly living a life that varies from g-ood to bad and indifferent, depending upon which of these traits has the major hold on his life. He related the story of a painter having difficulty in se eming a model to portray the image of Christ. This done, he later wanted a model for Judas Iscariot, the betrayer of Jesus. Finally, after a long search, he had the ideal sub ject. After the posing was over the subject was observed crying. Upon being asked why he shed tears, the man with drawn features, revealed that he was saddened because his life deterioated from his form er image of Jesus to that of portraying Judas the betrayer. The Rev. Fleming, who has been quite active in Raleigh civic circles during recent, years; also a director of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina, asked: "What Are You Living For'?" "Within each of us is an e ternal flame of righteousness," he said, which is countered by a struggle against sin, and "if we are not careful, evil will get the better of us." Fleming reminded that "man is more prone to accept materialism rather than to follow spiritual ly.” The Metropolitan Baptist Church (organization) stems from the nucleus of some eigh ty members allegedly dismiss ed from the Mt. Zion First Baptist Church, the Rev. George W. Dudley, pastor. The enlarg ed group organized under the name of Metropolitan Baptist Church after recently accepting a settlement of ten thousand dollars following legal action in 1865 Edgecombe Superior Court, which remanded the complaints back to the church body. This was followed by an alleged mass dismissal of the members now Metropolitan Baptist, marking one of the few times when ousted members have been able to secure a siz able financial settlement af ter being excommunicated. The new church hopes to build on the fast-growing east side of Rocky Mount. James W. Davis is chairman of deacons, and Alexander H. (Tuffy) Bryant Sr., is chairman of trustees.

BARREN STOP MARCHES; NEGOTIATION IS BETTER ROCKY MOUNT - Now that Golden Frinks et als have led their uneventful ‘march’ from Hertford to Edenton without any untoward incidents (the crowd was one -fifth the originally stated figure), it is hoped that wisdom will become the better part of vale and that this group of rambunctious leadership will not force itself upon communi ties and towns not desiring to continue demonstrations. There has been much good accomplished through demon strations and picketing, we’ll admit. But demonstrations have run their course - much like a fad, or style- of clothes. The white Southerners, along with those in the north and west, have ‘gotten the message’ re garding the desire of Negroes for the end of all forms of American discrimination based upon race and religion. Colored Americans can a chieve now if they will devote the energy expended in ques tionable value marching into getting out the vote, after vig orous registration activity, and use their weight in electing men and measures conducive to greater human rights. Granted that the white power structure will not move any faster or further than they are forced to. Let’s do the forc ing through wise use of the bal lot, which is far more effec tive and less calculated to dis rupt interracial harmony and leaves scars hard to heal up. After all, when the Negroes win their rights, jobs, better housing, Integration of publicly used facilities and elective of fices, they still should want to have retained most of their old white friends and gained new ones with respect and appre ciation. Jobs are opening up for Ne groes In Tarheelia faster than they can be filled. It is nec cessary that Negroes be taken in and given the same on-the job training that is given to whites. It has been proven that - given an equal chance- Negroes can learn as fast as others. Police departments and sheriffs must increase the hir G. W. Dudley, Sunday. Mr. Hamilton is a Texan and school mate of Mr, Dudley, who came to participate in the eighth an niversary of Dudley’s pastorate of Mt, Zion Baptist. AMA TELLS ’EM The AMA News, trade paper of American Medica.l Associa tion, in the March 14 edition, gave top display to its item on "Hospital Bias Rules Given." The opening paragraph says: "Hospitals must break down all racial discrimination among patients and on their staffs or face withdrawal of federal as sistance and/or face court ac tion." The story said..."ten thou sands hospitals that receive federal funds have been sent new rules and compliances re ports.” This means that all patients of whatever race must have access to all facilities; and that staff, also, must not be discriminated against on the basis of race. * * * Dr. Donald C.

Please be careful! * * * Tarheelia’s School Boards and Superintendents are winc ing nowadays after sessions with David Barrus of the U. S. Office of Education in Hick ory and Raleigh, in which the new guidelines for increased desegregation of public schools were outlined. One question was assured that the tightened up requirements meant the eli mination of dual educational system. And it was promis ed that the names of persons seeking to enter their children in integrate*? schools would not be publicized. One local of ficial termed that a "police state," ing of Negroes along with oth er public departments like me ter readers, light and telephone linemen. This gives the com munity a 'good image,’ so ne cessary for the bringing in of new industry. In that connection, Rocky Mount and Tarboro Police De partments are seeking Negroes and whites to add to their de partments. Contacts may be made directly to either City’s Police Department. Negro men desirous of a ca reer ir. law enforcement (ages 21-31), having good moral character, would do well to contact or write to the Chief of Police of either Rocky Mount or Tarboro for application blanks. Rocky Mount wants to add to its colored personnel. Tarboro wants to hire their first Negro policemen. The next major need is for the Tarheelia towns to inte grate their officers by having a colored and white officer to work In pairs, as well as increase the number of Negroes on the force while adding them to the sheriff's departments. All this will serve to condition our people to accepting Negroes as equals and improve the ef fectiveness of, and respect for, law enforcement over the na tion. Another group we can well do without hereabouts is the Black Muslims who are now canvassing the Rocky Mount a rea talking about getting our people together apart from the white Americans; just when we are trying hard-and succeeding, despite the KKK, in creating more fellow*hip, love and un derstanding with the whites. We do not need any group seeking to divide us, racially or in terraclally. This is an era when it will take ‘all of God’s children’ all we can do to work and live together to stave off our enemies from without as < well as from within American, Walk together, children! *** "YOU KNOW," said a man as he reached for his second helping of dessert, "I've got to watch my waistline."
