The perusal should not be made in a gloating manner, but one which would enable us to realize that we have fallen far short of the goal, set by the One, whose birthday we just celebrated. His tory should not be preserved for the plau dits of the contributors, but to be used as a guide post for the future. 1967 offers a great opportunity for priest and prophet, Christian and sinner, wise and foolish to take stock of himself, not in the usual resolve, that is generally broken before the ink gets cold on the paper of the heart of the maker, but a downright determination to first respect the rights of human beings and then a firm resolute to serve mankind. There will be much said and done about “brown bagging”. New schemes to put men in office, church squabbles, fra ternity fights and family spats that will end in disaster. 1967 should be a year in which each of us should try to aid in the building of a better society for this gen eration and those to follow. The different organizations which are nurtured and fostered to strike at the very root of American democracy should re direct their energies toward making man conscious of his obligation to other men. It is true that God has brought us thus far on our way. Many of us have come through blood and tears and there are many of us who will have to continue to plod through weary years, but all of us can make the plodding a little easier. The legislators can take a new look at our wage and hour law.

A Look At 1967 lower its walls so as not to put too much stress on dividends and give more service to its customers. Churches can really be the arsenal of love and have a light of interest that would really be the symbol of the “Star of Bethlehem”. Parents could take a real look at their children and instead of giving them a key to the house, use the key to lock their off springs in. at a reasonable time. It might not hurt if they restored the family altar and asked the blessing of the Almighty upon the household, as it retires for the night- Through too many of our weary years we have given a boy a gun for Christmas, as one of his first toys, and then put him in the penitentiary when he holds up someone. Yes, in too many of these weary years we have given a girl a doll upon which she can practice motherly care, and when she strays, to the point of having a baby out of wedlock, we have attempted to put her out of society. Certainly these have been weary years to the victims and 1967 should find us more concerned. In these weary years we have permit ted too many children to begin begging for money on our streets and as a result we have had too much purse-snatching, hold-ups and murders to obtain money, by youngsters. The planners of society should certainly take a sharp look into this nefarious practice. They should study the gathering of mobs of teen-agers at questionable places and do something about the con duct of many of our people, both young and old, as it relates to loud talking, bois trous language and even gambling on our streets. 1967 offers a good opportunity to do something about the unnecessary kill ing on our highways, due to excessive speed and a general disregard for the rights of others. Surely we have come through many weary years. However, we have a long way to go and 1967 would be a good year to get started, on our way. ed Into a murder.

Commissioner Samoul C. Jackson was quite optimistic about what would come out of the forum. It is to be remem bered that Negroes have been few and far - between in the skilled jobs of the textile in dustry and for a long time the lines of communication between textile workers and this group were very strained.

C„ SATURDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1966 BOBBY LEANDREW FUSE Officers Rule Out Race Hate In Anson WADESBORO - Even though there has been quite a bit of racial unrest over recent shoot - mgs in this section police were slow to tab the Thursday night shooting as being racially in spired. “To our knowledge, there is no racial connection,” Police Sgt. Roland Hutchison said when asked to comment about reports broadcast in Charlotte that the shooting may have been racially motivated. Hutchison said five .30 cali ber rifle bullets were fired at a 1955 automobile parked out side a restaurant about 3 a. m., Thursday, two hitting the top of the car and one hitting the front windshield. The two other shots did not hit the car, he said, but those that did ‘‘caused considerable damage to glass and holes in the roof.” The car is owned by Julian Garris, 40, of Wadesboro, who works as a short order cook at the restaurant. Garris, who is white, told police he knew of no racial connection that might have prompted the shooting except that in the past ‘‘when Negro customers caused any trouble, they were ordered out.” He said the same was true for white customers causing trou ble. The apparently erroneous reports were prompted by the fact several Negroes were seen in the area shortly after the shooting, police said, empha sizing that ‘‘just because they were there does not necessari ly connect them.” The SBI, (Bee RACE RATE, P. 2) Sweepstakes Worth $2lO This Week jesse Mttchener picked up $15.00 in The CAROLINIAN Sweepstakes because he had ticket number 2342, Be sure you visit one of the stores iisted on the Sweepstakes page.

In Fight GREENSBORO - A telephone interview with Bishop Wyoming T, Wells, who has charge of the work, in North Carolina, of the Church of God In Christ, revealed that Bishop O. T. Jones, Philadelphia, Pa., aid Bishop R. E. Ranger, Houston, have not gotten too far with their efforts to have their Exe cutive Board’s ouster decision over ruled. Bishop Wells told the CAR OI iNIAN that Bishop Ranger lost an Injunction that he went into Harris County District Court to obtain that would en join the Executive Board from taking over the power and that he was divested off at the Gen eral Assembly meeting, held in Memphis, Tenn., in November. The case was heard by Judge Warren P. Cunningham and was decided in favor of the Exe cutive Board on the Churches of God in Christ. The decision by Judge Cunn ingham is regarded by the Exe cutive Board members as a key victory in the group’s fight with a church faction represent ing Bishop O. T. Jones, of Philadelphia, who was ousted as Senior Bishop of the Church of the annual COGIC conten tion in Memphis last November. Ranger, who was removed from the State Bishop’s Board at the same time, is a support er of Bishop Jones In the fac tional fight. Bishop Jones, in defiance of the Board’s ruling, held what he called a nationwide rally of support in Philadelphia and re poFed that “a dozen bishops and 300 ministers” of the CO GIC attended. However, the Executive Board is supported by the more than 70 “bona fide” bishops of the Church and practically all ministers of the denomination’s more than 5,000 churches throughout the United States and several foreign countries. In addition, the Board has the support of all national officers who head auxiliaries, as well as Dr. Arenia C. Mallory, pres ident of the Saints Junior Col lege, Lexington, Miss. Bishop Ranger had asked the court to issue a temporary in junction restraining the Execu tive Board from interferring with his authority and dispos sessing his jurisdiction in the Church of God in Christ of Southeast Texas. The Executive Board was represented by A. A. Latting and J. O. Patterson, Jr., at torneys of Memphis, Tenn.; O. T. Wells, of New York City, and Warner Brock, of the law firm of Brock and Williams, Houston. Following Judge Cunning ham’s decision, the entire Exe cutive Board went into special session at the Buck Street Mem orial Church of God in Christ to weigh the future of the Church in Southeast Texas.
