Petition: An Instrument Of The Public
In order to prevent unnecessary an
ticipation of disorder, confusion, elec
trified emotions, poor human relation
ship and an adverse atmosphere to do
business, action must be taken before
these elements take over.
Power structures must make them
selves believe it is their responsibility,
their promise to the public to see that
good order and good attitudes are prev
alent in any community. The public
looks to the city council members, the
legislators and leaders of the many fa
cets of community life for sound, hon
est judgment on all questions. These
demands on civic, political, religious
and business leaders are, at times, with
cross nurposes with some elements.
However, any and possibly all, who
would solicit and promise the public
and their respective organizations that
they are competent, forthright and un
biased in their appraisal and judgment
of public matters should at all times
be walling to accept public petition
should those in power fail to act in be
half of <>ll their constituents.
Round-table discussions are neces
sary and accomplish much, nonetheless,
there is need for the public becoming
more a part of its affairs, instead of be
ing shut out and missing, many times,
the details and depth of close-shop
meetings on public matters.
No one should want war instead of
peace. Few would condone a fixed at
titude toward the denial of rights to an
other which he would preserve for him
self. But there are those few. They are
many times the troublemakers. Their
personal attitude overrides their profes
sional j judgment They are, in most
cases, very experienced and capable
persons. No one, doubtlessly, would de
ny their capabilities for they have prov
en their worth by virtue of position,
wealth and influence. Some additional
regard for the fellow of less circum
Fact And Opinion
Right to Work states are those in
which state laws provide that unless
they wish to do so, individuals need not
join a union as a condition of employ -
ment. These states lead the nation in
the creation of new jobs in business and
industry, in wage improvement in in
dustrial jobs and in producing new
wealth and personal income. Among
the top 1.5 states in actual wages paid
industrial workers, six were Right to
Work states. The top three states in the
nation in rate of new jobs created by in
dustry are Nevada, Arizona and Flo
rida—all Right to Work states. Unem
ployment in Right to Work states is
substantially below non-Right to Work
states.
Nation’s Agriculture says: “The
worst fed American is the teen-age girl
who skips or skimps on breakfast, con
sumes one .fourth of her total calorie in
take in poorly chosen snaeks. and does
n’t drink enough milk or eat enough
fruits and vegetables.”
“In 1963”, says the Petroleum Bulle
tin, “the petroleum industry- spent some
$315 million on research. By 1970, ac
cording to current projections, the fig
ure will soar to S6OO million . . . Some of
the research projects border on the fan
tastic—but we live in a fantastic age.

NEW YORK CITY - Delegates
attending the 52nd Annual Con
vention of Phi Beta Sigma Fra
ternity, Inc. August 14-18 at
the Statler-Hilton Hotel, Los
Angeles, Calif, will be asked to
endorse and implement the for
mation of a National Commis
sion For the Dissemination and
Distribution of News of all Pro
grams eminating out of the Of
fice of Economic Opportunities
in Washington to grass root Ne
gro communities.
The project to be presented
by C. Melvin Patrick, National
Director of Publicity of the Fra
ternity, calls for a National
Commission structured and di
rected by the national frater
nity, working in cooperation
with local grass root leaders
and organisations within the
communities where Sigma has
chapters and members.
The Commission Is sought
because of complaints of citi
zens to Regional Directors and
local chapter presidents of Phi
Beta Sigma which said that cer
tain local home town off leal s
<«»• kmma* wihi* p. *>
stances could be more a part of those
caught in a web of being called upon to
carry, m many instances, more than
their share of a community’s burdens
and growth.
To lessen the load of a few dedicat
ed community builders, there is a size
able reservoir of persons who could and
should be tapped to participate in a fair
amount of the work load which is heav
ier than ever during these days of tur
moil and strife between many and va
ried elements. Those who would assume
some of the wear and tear of aiding fur
their human development needed
throughout this state and nation could
assemble around a table from which
they might organize public petitions as
an aid to the over-burdened.
Street demonstrations, fights and kill
ings should be wiped from the American
scene. No matter who the formenters
may be should a disregard for a strict
adherence to the established law and
order code these persons or organiza
tions should be dealt with sternly and
without any political interference. Pe
titions for additional ordinances, relief
of office or any needed demands on leg
islators. policymakers, or any public
servants should serve to aid in abolish
ing from office or the scene persons who
would be counter to public demand in
their thinking and action.
Petitions should serve as a parallel
to any organized body for the good of
all people Bringing issues through pe
tition to the attention of the public, we
believe, is an instrument worth consid
ering in the prevention of disturbances
throughout America.
Maybe it could be a preventive.meas
ure here to keep our streets free to all
and our climate democratic and just
that Raleigh and North Carolina may
rally on additional measure of good to
obtain their full claim to fairness and a
true spirit of brotherhood.
For instance, among them are such
things as homes built of fireproof plas
tics which would also be termite-resis
tant; clothes made from petrochemical
fibers which would not wear out; pe
troleum-based growth inhibitors which,
when applied to lawns, would make
mowing only a once a year chore.”
The Portland, Oregon Traffic Safety
Commission notes: “Vacationers tend
to go too far and too fast for their own
good. Quite often they keep going until
they’re tired and consequently not very
alert . . . you can', deal with such situa
tions defensively in your driving. Watch
out for out-of-state licenses . . . cars
towing boats or trailers and confused
drivers slowing down, possibly looking
for landmarks. You might be able to
help them . . . and by defensive driving,
you can definitely help yourself 'avoids
an accident.”
The U. S. Department of Agriculture,
in its June.- 1966, report to consumers
declares: “You can put extra.pennies—
even dollars—in your pocket if you read
the grocery ads and take advantage of
the specials. Home economists at the
Department recently went shopping to
test this theory. They were able to save
25 per cent by shopping the ads of the
stores in a single neighborhood.”

JAMES THOMAS
RFK Speaks
it A Biased
University
NEW YORK - During his re
cent trip to South Africa, Sen.
''Robert F. (Bobby) Kennedy flung
up to that country’s segrega
tionists still another dilemma,
perhaps one to be faced on Jud
gement Day.
At the University of Natal in
Durban, the Senator was told
that the church to which most
of South Africa’s white pop
ulation belongs teaches apar
theid (racial separateness) as
a moral necessity.
It was pointed out to Ken
nedy that few of the country’s
churches allow black Africans
to pray with whites because the
Bible says God created Negroes
to serve.
In a signed article appearing
the current issue of Look ma
gazine, Ks nnedy said that he
silenced .he argument with what
to many white Afrikaaners must
be a 'devastating and frighten
ing idea.
