Tfk CAROLINIAN RALEIGH, N. C., SATURDAY. OCTOBER 1, 196(5 Words Os Worship 4 The Pharisees thought that they had Jesus in. a trap when they caught Him in the act of healing, on Sunday, a man with a withered hand. The soft light went out of Jesus' eyes and He put this question to them: "Is it law ful on the Sabbath day to do good or to do harm? To save a life or to kill? The Master editorial Viewpoint Alabama Surprises IS In Beau tv Contest Yes, some good is coming >ut of Ala bama in spite of the fact that Governor Wallace is kicking up a lot of dust these day’s. Officials of the Morgan County Fair, with headquarters in Decatur, announced that three Negro girls from Lake side High School would compete in a beauty contest, along with eleven other girls, for the title of Miss Tennessee Valley Exposition. This is probably the first time that Negro girls have been allowed to participate in such a contest in Alabama. Two of the Negro girls withdrew, and the third did nor win. Don 1 Be Fooled By B laek Power Cry! * The constant bombardment of the cry of Black Power by various news media has made the doctrine become as a sounding brass and tinkling cymbal. To the pub!:.- ', it is as trite as the words “awful.” “fine” overworked by football coaches, and “white supremacy." Risking being called an “Uncle Tom”, we are confident that some of our leaders are misleading youth with the doctrine of black power. The truck loads of verbial garbage describing inaccurately what the term means is equalled only by the turmoil created by fanattics motivated by -ueh a cry of alarm and so-called urg ncy. Nobody wins the struggle by bricks, rocks, fists, water hosing, billies arrests and blackguard. The black newer cry is confusing because it denounces but has nothing constructive- to offer in he place of the status quo. The rebuilding of our society must be done by black and white men who act with intelligence and wisdom and persuasion. We are glad that so’me of our leaders — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.. Roy Wilkins, Whitney Young, A. Phillip Randolph, etc., have called attention most strongly to the fallible doctrine of black power. Perhaps most of you have read the re sults reported by a recent New York Times survey of the civil rights movement on the national level. The report among other things, concluded: “Public support for the Negro and his problem is waning who. opposition is growing, and the civil movement is falling into disarray.” Floyd McKissick can rant all he wants about what CORE is going to do. Stokelv Camichael may make spme youths think violence is black power. Remember this: CORE and SNCC are not independent, and they must rely upon contributions from the public—black and white SNCC and CORE cannot do any more than their trea sury permits, and we have been informed that CORE is in the red inspite of the fact that the indebtedness of CORE has been reduced by one-third since Attorney Mc- Kissick took over the helm. A responsible news agency quotes the remaining debt of CORE at near the $200,000 figur How did CORE let itself get so far m debt? We cannot answer this question, but hy Not I rain In Field Os Audiology? Whenever we read in the newspapers a bout unemployment, it is concluded that percentage-wise with reference to th pop ulation. the Negro is, by and large, on the largest end of the horn of the unemploy ment scale. One of the reasons is that he lacks too few saleable work skills, and he fits well in tearing down a building because common labor is the all the boss needs. We take this opportunity to call the atten tion of Negro youth to the wide-open field of audiology for both men and women. Au diology is the non-medical study of hear ing and practice with the deaf and hard of hearing. The audiologist gives various kinds of hearing tests with electronic equip ment, prescribes academic placement of hard of hearing and deaf persons in schools, teaches auditory' training and lipreading, and carries on a program of research in the hearing field. The salary is especially good, for the average audiologist earns from SIO,OOO to sl2 .000 annually working in eoleges and universities, rehabilitation centers. Veter ans Administration, industry and research If he is indeed outstanding, he can com mand from SIB,OOO to $25,000 per year in Industry. What kind of training must he have? Well, he must pursue a course of training on the graduate level in audiology and hold the M.A. or Ph.D. degree in audiolo gy, plus four years of paid professions ex perience (minimum), and be eligible for the Certificate of Clinical Competence in Audiology—issued by the American Speech and Hearing Asociation with headquarters at 9030 Old Georgetown Road, Washing ton, D. C. The course of study includes: anatomy and physology of the speech and hearing mechanism, hearing rehabilitation, langu- waited for an answer, but none cama. What could they say? If they had said, "It was not lawful to heal on the Sabbath day”, it would be the talk of the town. They were intelligent enough to hold their peace and remain silent. They then quietly slipped away from the crowds. but stayed in the race until it ended. Every racial group has its supply of beautiful women, and the Caucasian race has no monopoly. Often, however, beauty in foreign cultures is evaluated by different standards. Yet, no human eye is so blind that it cannot readily spot “beauty.” The Negro race has an unusual supply of beau ties of every color and hue, of various sizes, but finely shaped proportions, and appeal. If Alabama can forget the past and prac tice non-discrimination in beauty contests conducted by a County Fair Eposition. so can other states in the South. we know one thing that is true. An organi zation must operate within its income or it will soon go bankrupt, and a bankrupt CORE can do nothing. Too many of our civil rights groups are over-extending them selves financially, and this always spells trouble. Some of our Negro leadership seems to be chasing its goals by a will-o-the-wisp procedure. They need to come to their sen ses and incorporate these changes: 1. Stop talking so much, especially when it can’t be backed up. 2. Provide the organization with an ac counting staff to keep operating in the black, establish sound financial policies, undertake systematic and dependable fund-raising, and make an annual report to the people. 3. Employ a public relations staff, com posed of trained men and women, who know what they are doing. It is far better to have more friends on your side than ene mies. Use of the television and advertising will yield good results, and therefore bud gets must be .allotted to maintain good public relations. 4. Include a research staff that can keep the national organization “in the know.” The civil rights war cannot be fought ef fectively without factual information con cerning the white power structures, statis t al evaluation of gains and losses, de scription of vulnerable targets and possi bilty of success citation of the proper long range and immediate procedures to reach the projected goals on an orderly schedule of time, development of techniques to keep the organization in step with those persons who are enemies, but who can be won to cur side, etc. The research must be continuing and ex panding. The organization must have or derly research procedures and equipment (IBM etc.) to quickly assemble the re quired facts at a moment’s notice. Do you think the United Stars can reach the moon wihout the space experiments? Mankind is now living in the experimental stage. Civil rights leaders must go and do likewise, and we are glad that the NAACP and the Na tional Urban League have placed signifi cant value upon research. age development and phonetics, education and psychology of deafness, auditory train ing and speechreading, audiometry (pure tone and speech), teaching of language and speech, instrumentation, audiological re search. and clinical practice. The allied field is usually psychology. There are in this country easily 80 col leges and universities offering graduate study in audiology, and generally each one has many federal scholarships for students valued at tuition and S2OO a month for a period of 12 months at the Master’s degree level, and more for the candidate for the Ph D. degree, which usually requires from two and one-half to three years beyond a college education with a major in speech correction. Several predominantlv-Negro colleges offer the foundation training program lead ing to a B.S. or B.A. degree, namely: Flo rida A&M University at Tallahassee; Southern University at Baton Rouge, Lou isians; South Carolina State College at Orangeburg: Tennessee State A&I Univer sity at Nashville: and Hampton Institute at Hampton. Va. The Hampton and South Carolina programs are under the auspices of the Communications Center, while the other programs arc offered by the Depart ment of Speech and Drama at the respec tive institutions. those holding the master's degree can be numbered because of a scarcity of prac titioners. So far as we know there is only one Negro in the United States who holds the doctorate degree in audiology, while those holding he master’s degree can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Remember that race is no hindrance in this field if you are qualified. This oppor tunity now knocks at your door and you should let it in.

DAVIS, D.D.D. NEGRO PRESS INTERNATIONAL CREEDS OR DEEDS The highest tribute I’ve ever heard paid to a Negro by a white man was when the Rt, Rev. Msgr. John J. Egan said that person is “more likely to recognize Christ. Tin Martin Lu ther King than in the Nicene catechism.” Msgr. Egan, director, Office of Urban Af fairs, Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago so cited Dr. King, speaking at the National and Inter-American Cathechetical congress, Pitts burgh. Leading into this statement, the Catholic lead er noted that it is “very difficult to recognize Christ in doctrine and formula, in dogma and ethics.” Such an appraisal of the state of the church and the state of man hits at the very heart of our current human problem. Churches, denominations, religions and sects built upon some stated creed or dogma create for their adherents idols to be worshipped and feared. Man, in bis sometimes futile search for meaning, most generally accepts without ques tion the fact that his life takes on some sort of reality' when he can point to a tablet of creeds to which he gives only verbal assent. Man scarcely dares to actualize religious creeds and dogmas. And thus, we have people CHANGED HIS WAYS WASHINGTON - A 24 year old ex-leader of the Harlem Lords gang In New York, took trie pulpit at Radio Music Hall last week as prin cipal speaker during the three day evangelistic crusade sponsored by the Capital Crusade for Christ.

Marian Wright before the Board ol National Missions, United Presbyterian church, last week. She main tained that CDGM’s program “is the one an swer to the cry of black power-which stems from the hopelessness of people.” CHURCHES AT FAULT GRENADA, Miss. - The Rev. C. B.

FREEDOM VOTE DJIBOUTE - France’s last colonial territory on the African continent is scheduled to hold a plebiscite on independence between now and next July 1.
