So with this segregated pattern as a
plan, it seems more than plausible that

A SOMBER REMINDER - These two tubs were used last
Wednesday night by two white youths, accused of throwing

Tremendous exposure to all of the A
money-making facets of the business, in- 8
dustrial and political worlds is needed ¥
before we can begin to compete and con- A
trol even a small portion of the produc- 1

But there is great potential within this B
huge America, of which we ar? an ine- *
grai part, as a group, striving to become s
a part of the giants, through the “green h
power” of collectivity, and as good in- I
dustrialists and businessmen. Such de- .
velopment will cause the wanted focus B
upon the Race’s achievements and de- w
mands for social fair play and recogni

in keeping their promises when they are §
made aware of the power of a sizeable *
and well organized segment of voting A

Therefore “green power” can, in no ▼
way, be overlooked as a needed instru- A

first-class citizenship. What we need is f
more of it as well as better management A

The incident occurred on

admitted by the young girl,
as she was familiar with the
monthly visits of “a man

Cheryl said the man start

“Then he sprayed the en

"finally came back into the
den where I was and sat down
beside me. He asked how old
I was. and when I said eleven,
he told me I looked older and
said, ‘Are you sure?’
