g the cjukxjmia* RALEIGH, N. C. s SATURDAY. APRIL %, im 2 My children are the children of Amer ica, and the latent abilities and dormant talents which each and every one of them possess in their minds or hands must be developed and brought out. This is America’s responsibility— not only to include the poor, the helpless, but to see that all are given the chance to expend ther God-given qualities to improve themselves, their children, and their country. A simple idea, yet, how seemingly vast complicated the problem appears. How is it possible to incorporate this discernable idea concerning the Ameri can responsibility toward the develop ment of human talent with a successful plan of action which will accomplish what must be done? The answer lies in our hearts, in our minds, and in our souls. The answer is charity from our hearts, to all the needy, the poor, and the bondaged. We must wash the words from their fences and the filth from their sidewalks. But let us not gve only to those in need. We must give our gifted as well, the means and way. the opportunity and chance to stopped and listened. It was an old song that he had heard his mother sing! ‘There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Immanuel’s veins; And sinners plunged beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains. The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there may I, though vile as he, Wash all my sins away.’ “The dirty so-and-so grunted and staggered on back of the building. There he fell, chouched in a comer, and cried like a baby. “ ‘O God,’ said he, ’O God forgive me and save me.’ “And God did. “Fellows, that dirty guy was me. It’s Hopping About Tarheelm BY J. B. HARKEN BRICKS - "Decisions For Progress” was the subject of a political action and anti- pov erty program discussed at Franklinton Center here last week under the guidance of the Rev. W. Judson King, presi dent of the community orient ed church and rural counseling institution which is the "grand child” of the Old Brick School founded in 1895 by the Ameri can Missionary Association (Congregational Church Organ izations) with the late Thomas Sewell Inborden as its first and continuing principal for some thirty-five years. Jack W, Faison, Northamp ton County (Seaboard, N. C.) mortician and NAACP and Elks leader, told how his people have organized 17 precincts; registered some 1300 Negroes in 1965; are this year to, again, run a few colored candidates and support the whites who show signs of being somewhat liberal in granting Negroes more of their rights. I. H. Hilliard, who is the colored official in the Farmers Home Administration (F HA) outlined proceedure for getting anti-poverty loans with long term repayment and urged Ne groes to avail themselves of the many, many opportunities to better their conditions in the rural areas. Some of these government poverty programs have been designed especially for Eastern Tarheelia where there has been so much dis placement of Negro unskilled labor on the farms by machin ery. Negroes of the Rocky Mourit- Tarboro area have coveted op portunity to get in touch with Hilliard and his co-workers in the basement of the Tar boro post office building where indi viduals with reasonable cred it ability can apply for loans to Improve their homes or go into small business, if they cannot obtain funds elsewhere. Edgecombe Extension Agent T. C. Boyd urged farmers to forget about farming on a small scale and to begin to concen trate or specialize on crops which will yield them the most profit; and cotton is not one of them, he stated; nor is small hog production profitable, he said, because the big breeder is freezing out the small man. He had best raise and sell feeder pigs because of nigh feed costs. Some land will yield planted in pine seedlings, Boyd said. Retired Major LonzieMc- Keithen, deputy director of Manpower (employment) Pro gram told how this Eastern Carolina program Is training and transplanting (in some In stances) unskilled farm tenants into areas of greater employ ment opportunities with much success. Many farmers, he said, are hostile towards this recruitment program, and fre quently order Manpower work ers off their land. A few poor whites are also aided by Man power. Other listed speakers includ ed J. E. Batts, Phillips School principal; George H. Young, Eastman School principal; and John Taylor, each of whom talk ed on education opportunities through the Secondary Educa tion program now being off act ed In the Coastal Plain com munities, again, designed es pecially for the lagging Negro America’s Responsibility (CONTINUED <FROM PAGE 1} A Dirty Story (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) children whose parents earn less than tw'O thousand ($2,000) yearly. In that connection, it has been reliably stated that some poor families have act ually falsified about their earn ings, pretending that they earn ed much more than they did, thus voiding their honest right to participle in the program which includes free lunches for school children. Again, a word about FHA and EOA loans, which families can borrow up to $2,500 with up to 15 years to pay less than five per cent interest. And if a cooperative of, say ten families (maybe less), they can borrow up to $25,000 with up to 30 years to pay back, they build, buy or improve their farms with plenty of time to re pay loans. This is the chance for Negro farmers to stay in business. ' ROCKY MOUNT - Mrs. Edythe Robinson Tweedy, popu lar counselor at Washington High School here was reportedly involved in an auto wreck Sun day evening near Spring Hope ■which brought death to Ernest Whitley of Middlesex; serious injury to Arlie Lee Bissette; and injuries to Mrs. Tweedy which reportedly not too ser ious. Full details were not available. Progress is noted on the Integration Front when the Vet erans of Foreign Wars (VFW) meeting in Charlotte recently, permitted a colored legionaire to participate with his date in the dance along with the whites. And to prove the point of pro gress, the March issue of "The VFW Leader” publication car ried a photograph of the color ed couple dancing with the whites In the background. (We have no knowledge of any swap ping of partners, however.) Livingstone Lodge No. 67, Knights of Pythias, the Rev. J. W. Wiley, Chancellor Com mander, observed anniversary services at St. John AMFZ Church March 27, with the Rev. Eugene Moser, minister, deliv ering the sermon. He spoke on "Friendship” such as Da mon and Pythian s had for each other. Rev. Moser said: "If, through friendship my burdens are divided among my broth ers, they become lighter.” Frank Cobb, vice chancellor, presided over the services which included a Juvenile pro gram conducted by Mrs. Mag gie (John) Chase, worthy coun selor of the Calantheans. C. T. Edwards extended the welcome which was responded to by Jar vis Nelson. The Original Freewill Bap tist Educational Officers held their first meeting of the year at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Pearl Felix on Spaulding Dr. recently. Those attending were Mod erator Rev. W. H.

The answer is ded ication. We must dedicate our minds to development. We must enlighten our children with the hunger for progress, and the cultivation of talent. The an swer is also spirit. We must continually provide the atmosphere which will en courage our youth to develop their tal ents not only in body and mind, but also in the spirit of the soul. We must become a nation of high ideals and as pirations, not a nation of decay and un ethical practices. This is our problem and this is our solution. If we are to succeed we must waste no time in searching for talent in our masses and readily developing it. Our hope lies in the youth of our great, free land, and it is in our youth where we must kindle the spark of motivation and self-development. This is my responsibility for I am an American—and this is the responsibility of all who plant now for their children, who wish to preserve the American way of life, and the responsibility of all those who call themselves Americans. the dirtiest story I know.” Nobody laughed or said a word. All the boys just walked away. When they left, I sneaked after Tom. He was back of the toolhouse alone. Well, to make a long story short, he told me how to be saved. He said, “Be lieve on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved,” and, “To as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God. even to them that believe on His name. So, I accepted Christ, and boy, am I ever glad I did!” “If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (Anonymous) Megrs Heritage Library legan By St at® i®dy The Negro Heritage Library of North Carolina, Incorporat ed, has been organized by a group of North Carolina citi zens to market an outstanding work entitled, "The Negro Heritage Library,” published by Educational Heritage, Incor porated, of Yonkers, New York. The initial Board of Direct ors of the corporation are J. J. Sansom, Jr., Millard R. Pee bles, J. A. Abron Jr., and N. M. McMillan of Raleigh, North Carolina, and S. L. Hamlin of Winston-Salem. The corpora tion will maintain offices at 126- 1/2 East Hargett Street, Suite "B.” Raleigh Attorney Romallus O. Murphy has been elected pres ident of the corporation. The other officers are members of the Board of Directors. The position of executive sales di rector has been placed in the hands of a newcomer to Ra leigh, Joe S. Davis, a native of the state of California. The Negro Heritage Library has been proclaimed by educa tors and civil rights leaders as one of the sources necessary to right the wrongs of past centuries and provide factual information about the American Negro. The knowledge of this material will aid in providing the substance to make America a land where all, both black and white, can live and grow under circumstances conducive to self-respect and social dignity. Open House will be held at the office, 126 1/2 E. Hargett St., Suite B, on Friday, April 1, from 1 to 6 p. m. The gen eral public is invited to attend. Mrs. Millie Veasey, pres ident of the Raleigh Branch of the NAACP said, "This work is necessary to re-orientate our attitudes in order to bring about the fundamental changes necessary in our society.” At torney Samuel S. Mitchell said that, “This is a ‘must* for the American Negro youth as they move toward a fully in tegrated society.

Representation on the governing boards, committees and in offices charged with the responsibility of executing poli cy and providing leadership for the one association. 3. Re-organization, of the two associations' so a a u pro/idP for the most effective utiliza tion of their human, professional and other resources in order to serve better the students and the people of the State in gen eral. Present trends, changes in attitudes and the increasing willingness of leaders in edu cation to unite their co-work ers for the good of the pr ofes sion indicate that the time has arrived for the desirable mer ger of dual education associa tions, irrespective of the states in which they now exist. The North Carolina Education As sociation and the North Car olina Teachers Association oc cupy a most favorable position for merger as evidenced by the following; 1. The over all philosophy of the two asso ciations grounded mainly in the improvement of education in the interest of the learner is prac tically mutual. 2. Both as sociations have operated in a State that has located for years of good race relations, 3.’ Both associations are affiliates of the National Education Asso ciation. 4. Both associations are members of the United Forces for Education. 5. The names of the two associations are sufficiently similar to pre vent any formidable obstacle to merger (NCEA and NCTA). 6. Liaison Committees of the as sociations have been meeting jointly for approximately three years considering integration, merger and other problems of mutual concern. 7. The Board of Directors of both associa tions have met in joint ses sion to consider a plan of mer ger at the request of the Liai son Committees. 8. Resolution Number 12 instructed both asso ciations to cooperatively for mulate a plan of merger for presentation at its annual meet ing in July 1966. 9. The schools will be increasingly in tegrated and merged, thereby increasing the need for one strong professional organiza tion. 10. Teachers of both races are seriously discussing merger in their administrative units while they meet jointly in many situations to improve education as they have been advised. On the basis of the above and the availability of leadership in both associations, at the State and local levels, we would urge both to move ahead rapidly toward merger. The North Carolina Teachers Association voted for merger a year ago and is willing to continue its cooperation for Its realization. It Is not willing for the principle of plece-rneal integration with Its destructive effects to be substituted for the principle of merger. The lat ter is representartve of the pro fessional and spiritual strength of a great association. It is very disturbing to face the possibility of both associa tions losing membership in NEA for a lost cause, and when dual associations in states be low us have been utilizing then time in the formulation of plans of merger and followed by some implementation for presenta tion at the coming NEA Con vention. It is discomforting and disappointing to witness the progress toward merger at a time when unsegregated teach ers teach, children learn and PTA’s meet. The eyes of the Nation are upon us. The eyes of the South are upon us. And, truth, the eyes of the State are upon us. The leadership must no longer hold its peace and permit the future of edu cation in North Carolina to be jeopardized without regard to the realities of today and the interest of all the children of all the people. To ignore the responsibility involved is to in vite from other sources leader ship for education rather than by it.
