2 RALEIGH. N. C.. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12. 1968 SMOKY f Continued from pace 1) the square feet in all 15 lots equals to $2.64 per square feet." In 3 years, Adams said, the proposed lmprovem en t s would total $2,75 per square feet. New bids were accepted from Claude Gaddy, real estate brok er, who sought 8 lots on the same tract which he had al ready bid. The Commission did, however, accept a new bid from Gaddy on property which has a high bid of $28,400, and was orielnallv relected by the Commissioners along with Sanders’ bid. Other firms which have given bids on the property are B. B. Sapp, real estate broker, and Pine State Creamery. The former seeks one and the latter asks two sites there. At a hearing on Oct. 4, Sand ers was the high bidder for the 15 acre site. His bid was then rejected by the RRC because it was felt the city would not derive enough tax money from the price of the land, plus the re venue yield to be gotten from Mr. Sanders’ proposedimprov ments. A new appraisal has been made on the land in question since the October meeting, En loe stated. He said the new appraisal is higher than the ori ginal bid at auction. "Because of these circum stances,’’ said Mr. Enloe, "the property will have to go on the auction block again and the bids submitted will have to be in line with the new appraised figure.’’ H. Palmer Edwards, execu tive secretary to the Commis sion, stated that under Commis sion policy, no bids had, in the past, been disclosed prior to an auction. "This very often hurt ten ant-landlord rela t ions hips,’’ concluded Edwards. Other members of the Com mission present at Monday’s meeting were: Paul Hoover, Charles Davis, J. E. Strick land, the only Negro member; and Bert Jones. H. Palmer Edwards, execu tive director of the Raleigh Re development Commission was interviewed early Wednesday of this week by a CAROLINIAN newsman. Mr. Edwards admit ted that the amount paid the homeowners and business firm owners at the time of acqui sition amounted to $1.28 per square feet, covering the cost of land and buildings on the pro perties. A contract reached his of fice on Tuesday, Nov. 8 for the Southside (Fourth Ward a rea Redevelopment. The local Commission must now enter in to agreement on this contract, execute (sign) it and adopt a resolution. Then the contract is to be returned to the At lanta regional office, where it will again be signed and re turned to Raleigh. "That should not take over ten days after we meet on the contract,” conclud ed Mr. Edwards. He said he was unable to say it »t this time just how much would be paid per square feet for the Southside property, SPOKESMEN (Continued from page 1) veland, Ohio, had been pre pared by a drafting committee of nine Negro church leaders. Underlying the manifesto and the entire spirit of the con ference was an appeal for a re turn to law and order in the civil rights struggle. Thq_ manifesto then pointed out that if the civil rights strug gle is to succeed in the future, "it must be more an more emphasized and conduc ed as a national cause and not as a Negro cause, disrespect for law and order must be discouraged, the Federal Government must continue its firm stand for the rights and the security of all its citizens, and families must have a sense of personal re sponsibility for the stability of their homes, and for the moral climate in which their children are reared.’’ The manifesto also stated that "The black pow’er quest must not be condoned or followed, for it too is divisive and is an expression of discrimina tion from the Negro’s point of view when used as a separa tist movement among Negroes against white people. Power has no color. But if the term is used to indicate the Negro’s growth in productive ability, both in the field of economics and voting then it represents nothing new for it simply means an advanced step from protest to production. The conference, first of its type in the nation, was held under the chairmanship of Dr. J. H. Jackson, president of the National Baptist C9nven tlon, USA, Inc. Other repre sentatives were Bishop Henry C. Bunton, presiding bishop of the Christian Methodist Epis copal Church, Washington, D. C.; Bishop Louis H. Ford of the Church of God in Christ, Chicago; Dr. C. D. Pettaway, president of the National Bap tist Convention of America, Lit tle Rock, Arkansas. Also, Bishop J. Claude Allen of the CME Church, Gary, Indi ana; Bishop W. J. W'alls, sen ior bishop of the AME Zion Church, New York, and Bishop E. C.

That decision was made at a three-day meeting in Chicago that ended over the weekend. The meeting was the fourth in a series of conversations be ing held under the auspices of the American Roman Catholic Bishops’ Commission on Ecu menical Affairs and the North- American Area of the W'orld Alliance of Reformed and Pres byterian Churches. Members of the latter group involved in the on-going con versations include the Presby terian Church U.S. (Southern), the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, the Hungarian Reform ed Church in America, the Re formed Church in America, the United Church of Christ, and the United Presbyterian Church U.S. A. The group also announced that a joint brochure, "Worship and Study for Roman Catholic and Protestant," will be available for distribution in the spring of 1967. It will be published by the Paulist (Roman Catholic) Press and the Westminster (U --nited Presbyterian) Press. ELECTION (Continued from page 1) had been answered. It was definitely determined that Mr. Gardner was a Tuesday night guest of the motel and the motel desk informed The CAROLIN LAN that he was eating break fast when one of the calls was made. It was ascertained that Mr. Gardner had definitely denied any connection with the Klan and went further to say that the support of the Klan was not sought by the Gardner camp. An interested Raleigh citizen (Democrat) told The CAROLIN IAN that he had been assured that Gardner would be the rep resentative of all the people. A group of interested Raleigh citizens plan a conference with Mr. Gardner at which time they hope to outline some of the goals they hope to reach through his assistance. In Durham, R, W, Dalton lost a bid for a seat in the House of Representatives, as a candidate on the Republican tic ket. Dalton was able to get the endorsement of the Com mittee on Negro Affairs and carried most Negro precincts. These precincts went over whelmingly for the Democrats. In Guilford County, where there was a trend to the Re publican Party four years ago, with some help from the Ne groes, there was no trace of that trend Tuesday. The High Point Negro precincts that have shown Republican interest in the past delivered in that manner, Winston-Salem and Forsythe Counties presented a “crazy quilt” image. There were those who felt that the trend start ed when Nick Galifianakis won over two Winston-Salem men in two Democratic Primaries. Nick lost both the county and the city to G. Fred Steele, Republican, in his election to Congress. Steele gave the win ner a close race and could have won had he been able to get the Negro vote in the low end of the district (Durham Coun ty). The Rev. William R. Craw ford, who has weathered two Democratic Primaries to get the nod for the House of Rep resentatives, was again the vic tim of a switch of some Dem ocrats to the Republican nomi nees. Crawford was said to have been the victim of the fact that many voters did not know how to properly split the tic ket in 1964 and voted straight Democratic and then pulled down his lever, thereby void ing the vote. In Tuesday’s election, Craw ford supporters are said to have "single shotted" but there were not enough shotsandthree white Republicans and two white Democrats were winners. As predicted last week, Char lie Jonas was not hurt by the Negro vote and did not receive too much help. He has had a semi lance of that vote In every election. James T. Broyhill was expected to and did do well in most Negro precincts. Golden Frinks, civil rights leader in the 16 counties of the First Congressional Dis trict, did not show his hand un til the last minute. He is a registered Republican and lean ed toward East, saying he was the better of the two on ra cial matters. It was not de termined what Influence the Ne gro vote had on Walter Jones' defeat of the East Carolina Col lege professor. Rev. T. H. Murphy, Laurin burg pastor, was on the ticket for the Board of Education, but was an "also-ran." SWEEPSAKES (Continued from page 1) Her husband, Mr. Robert Watson, Jr., is a stonemason.

A Blunder Or A Blessing ? throughout the nation and world as an institution whose tradesmen were sought after by business and industry. Its eleven trades and the School of Building Con struction served well to prepare its pro ducts for a career in a needed area. Now it finds itself in a position of need with no trained personnel to fill the position. It is needless to say that the trade school which was closed at Hampton Institute some years ago, is more needed today than it was then. Hampton’s buildings and grounds were second to none in appearance during the days of the trade school. There were no sagging or deteriorated screens in windows, paint was prominently used and every thing was kept in good repair by the great reservoir of personnel at hand with just a telephone call from one depart ment to another. Together with this practical on-campus training, Hamp ton’s trade school students filled the gaps and developed businesses of their own in aiding the crucial skilled job placement of Negroes throughout America. However, with the degree craze for label to determine income and status, not only for the alumni, but for the in sitution itself, Hampton turned its at ention to the liberal arts and science GPS HOME (Continued from pate J) The soldier’s father, James Holmes, 46, is a 14-year em ployee of the printing ink de partment, Interchemical cor poration.

Bruce Hargrove, president of the Southeastern District, will preside over the general sessions. NC’S GILL (Continued from pat* 1) He said that ‘‘Radio and tele vision have made it possible for ideas to be communicated almost simultaneously to all the people who live on this planet. They can transmit kindness and tolerance; but they also can communicate bias and hate. We need to redefine what we real ly mean by progress. Cer tainly in the matters of race, great progress has been made and yet there remains much to be done, ana it is the spirit of a people that finally counts." Gill stated, "that it is the hope of all of us that the cor responding leadership in the white race will join with Ne gro educators in a program of progress in education, in wel fare, in human rehabilitation and in the development of in dustry and commerce--allpre dicated upon the welfare of individuals regardless of their racial origin." The guest speaker was intro duced by Dr. H.L. Trigg, mem ber, State Board of Education. Mrs. Ruth Woodson, super visor, elementary schools, State Department of North Carolina, paid tribute to the donors of the Hammocks Beach Property, Mrs. Josephine W. Sharpe, widow of the late Willi am Sharpe; and Mrs. Gertrude Hurst, who was responsible for directing this gift to Negro Teachers of North Carolina. She referred to the teachers as "torch bearers” and "wea ry travelers" who need an op portunity for recreation and relaxation such as is afforded at the Hammock Beach. Greetings were brought by E. B. Palmer, executive secre tary of the North Carolina Tea chers Association, who extend ed an Invitation to the guest to visit the Hammocks to en joy the beautiful setting. Other program participants included Mrs. Nora Evans Lockhart, principal, Crosby Garfield school who gave re marks and thanks to God for the Occasion. Harold Morgan, an instruc tor at East Side School, St. Pauls, N.C. sang "Without a Song" and ‘‘lnvtctus.’’ Mrs. Latelle Vaughan, a *'fth grade teacher at East End Ele mentary School sang "Oh What a Beautiful City," and "A Heart That’s Free.’’ Mrs. Vaughan was accompanied by Hubert E. Walters, director of Choral Music, Shaw University, Dr. Rudolph Jones, president, North Carolina Teachers As sociation, presided as toast master. A report on previous ban quet activities was made by W.R. Collins, director of the Hammocks Expansion Project, The banquet was given in the interest of a memorial hono ring the memory of the late Dr, W’illiam Sharpe and his wid ow Mrs. Josephine Sharpe. Sponsors for the banquet in cluded: Shaw University, The Winston Mutual Life Insurance Company,, The Metal Arts Jewelry Company, the Raleigh fields and a cold shoulder to the techni cal world. And as a leader in its field of technology, it caused other schools who were prominent in training the head and hands to do likewise. Consequently, Hampton and its band of followers are looking elsewhere for their personnel to man areas of skill on their campuses as they, too, had fallen victim to the “nice” instead of the necessary. Further critical areas of training on college campuses such as publicity and public relations find themselves neglect ed because many so-called Negro insti tutions are forced to resort to areas be yond their campus or training ground, even with all the degree-trained person nel in English composition, etc., to fill such positions. It is the hone of this newspaner that institutions will look closer at their eur riculums and include some needed em phasis in courses, which would at least meet their immediate need, plus render a greater service to its graduates and the field for which they are being pre pared. This would, we believe, enable the institutions, the personnel and the commercial world to find a more fruit ful co-existence in this life for all con cerned. 86th Session Os AME Zion Church Ends In Laurinburq LAURINBURG - The 86than nual session of the Central North Carolina Conference, A ME Zion Church, presided over by the Rt.
