THE CAHOUKIAH RALEIGH. N. C., SATURDAY. DECEMBER 3. 1966 14 NEWS & VIEWS BY J. B. HARREN TARHEELIA CAN, TOO IN BALTIMORE, on a Turkey Day visit, it was nice to learn that a Mother and her son were among the key persons who rallied the Negro vote to defeat a Democratic candidate who was opposed to “open hous ing occupancv.” Mrs. Juanita Jackson Mit chell, wife of NAACP's Dee Coe trouble -Shooter Clarence Mit chell Jr., and daughter of Mrs. Lillie M. Jackson, (all three re nowned Maryland NAACPers) teamed with Mrs. Mitchell’s son -Clarence Mitchell HI (a member of the Maryland legis lature) to muster the Negro vot ers to elect Spiro T. Agnew, the moderate Republican, over the reputed “white backlash” candidate for Governor. Demo crat George P. Mahoney, who had won the nomination, main ly, on his opposition to open housing. Legislator Mitchell re nounced his party’s candidate and got the support of friend ly whites in assisting the Ne groes in defeating Mahoney. Mitchell Is a Democrat). Mit chell also won his State Senate seat by topping all other can didates. Next to Mitchell was Senator Verda Welcome, re elected to a second term. Mit chell had served in the lower bouse several terms. This can be done here in Tar heelia if only we’ll heed the ad vice of NAACP leaders and join NAACP with mass member ships and then register and vote by the thousands. We’ll never no never - be really free un less and until we do this. A schoolmaster told us re cently that hardly forty per cent of Negro teachers of his area bothered to register and vote!" Isn't that appalling? How can these teachers teach their stu dents anything about citizenship, civil rights, civil government or politics? Parents, princi pals and civic leaders should check on such teachers. They are not qualified to teach your children. Right now, Negroes are woe fully neglecting the golden op portunities of getting f>'ee edu cation, regardless of their age or limitations. They should - must - take these opportunities to advance themselves before the whites get it all. We cannot longer afford to act foolish ami let false pride keep us from going to school at evening class es to Improve ourselves. Let the teachers, preachers and ev eryone else talk this to our con gregations and social groups. Our elite groups would rend er a greater service to start promoting this program of edu cation and vocational training for better lobs, along with grooming of our youths for “white collar” jobs. The need is for thorough education in all areas. Remember NAACP member ships and contributions, coupled with voting in numbers -will get us our rights and jobs. NEGROES “DOWN SO LONG’’ The News and Observer edi torial Nov. 26 lamenting the sad fact that Negro youths are not availing themselves of the op portunities opening to them in the field of trades and voca tions is well taken. Concern ed members of the race are equally disturbed abd seek a so lution. Please keep writing on it. However, there is a Deep South colloqioalism which best explains the seeming lack of interest on the part of Negroes who have not bee n trained through two or three genera- Mt. Pleasant BY LIZZIE JUSTICE The Mount Pleasant Baptist Church Sunday School began at 10 a. m. with the Asst, Supt., Mr. Wilson Thorton, presiding. The morning lesson was “A Daring Faith.” The Sunday school read and discussed the lesson, followed by the secre tary, Miss Sarah Bledsoe read ing the minutes.

Mrs. Dunn is related to Mr. and Mrs. Cauley Pulley, who already re side in the community. tions, at least, to take advan tage of every chance at literary or vocational education. It is the plaint of the disadvantaged, underprivileged Negro who having been denied a chance to advance himself (or herself) so long, moaned out a blues note which said; “I Been Down So Long, ‘Till Being Down Don’t Bother Me.” This type color ed man has lost almost all hope for a chance In the white man’s world (as he sees it), and has accepted the status of a more peon, thinking he cannot ad vance further tham the place of the servant which is no long-’ er required. It is largely up to the white community to take a whole step to help assure, and reassure, this mass of colored Americans that you really and truly want him to have a part In the on going progress of the nation which he has helped to build! Likewise, the whites will have to help the Negro leaders ers in particular) to know that they will not be penalized by lost of their jobs when they teach Negroes to register and vote - in numbers - and other wise participate in electionsand politics. When this assurance and help is given earnestly by whites - more and more Ne groes will feel that they are welcome to participate in these programs which mean uplift for all people.

Collectors agree on the British Guiana 1-cent issue of 1856. Printed in black on deep red paper, it is known as the “one-penny magenta” because of its color. Only one is known to be in existence, and is reportedly valued in excess of SIOO,OOO, says Ervin J. Felix, stamp edi tor at Whitman Publishing Company, Racine, Wis. The stamp is octagonal in shape, with the initials ”E.D.W.” written on the face. It is somewhat smudged, and the year 1856 isn’t distinct enough to read. It was originally discovered in 1873 by L. Vernon Vaughn of British C.uiana, As a teen-ager, he found some old family let ters bearing British Guiana stamps, including the one penny magenta. He sold the magenta to a local collector for the equiva lent of less than $1 in Ameri can money. Recalling the event years later, he wrote ". -. . On looking through my album, I picked on the one-cent magenta because I did not think it a very good specimen, and also I was quite certain that it could easily be replaced by a better specimen when next I took the trouble to search through the old family letters.” No other specimen was evter found, continues Felix, whose firm manufacturers a new line of stamp albums and other philatelic supplies. The magenta changed hands several times over the years. In 1922, it was purchased by the late Arthur Hind of Utica, N.Y., for $32,500. Following Hind's death, his widow sold the fabled stamp for around $50,000 in 1940. The name of the collector who purchased it has never been disclosed. “The average collector will never own a great rarity,” con cludes Felix, “but it’s fun to think about the possibilities of finding one."
