SPENCER MISS LILLIE SANDERS Orange County Board Gets Federal Okey HILLSBOROUGH - The O range County Board of Educa tion has "apparently” satis fied the federal government that it is observing the guidelines set out by it for desegrega tion. The Board is said to have received a letter which implied such a reaction. The board Monday discussed the notice, contained in a letter from John Hope 11, director of -Area Two of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare’s Equal Educational Opportuni ties Program. County officials interpreted the letter as saying the county should turn its attention now to making further progress with plans for the 1967-68 school year. Revised guidelines for 1967 were received from Education Commissioner Harold Howe 11. From Raleigh’s Official Police Files THE CRIME BEAT Accidentally Shoots Self > Mildred Mae Watson, 412 Svvain St., reported to police the shooting of a man, Dec. 30. The report showed that •"George Leon Hopkins, 20, while cleaning his pistol, at Swain and Adams Alley, it went off, and the bullet strided and hit him in the left side of his stomach. The pistol was a 22- c.Uilvr automatic. Hopkins was treated at Wake Memorial. CONTROVERSIAL FIGURE- - Mi s.

(See CRIME BEAT, P. 3) The speculation is that once p owell meets his accusers, to-face, there might be a change in tne trend. Very few, if any congressman, will conjure that he will not be .seated, as a '■ongressman. There are many who feel that he will not lose his chairmanship.

Miss Sanders was thrilled when she visited the CAROLIN - IAN office to pick up the money. She had the follow-ing to say, "I was thrilled beyond expres sion when I went to the mail box and got the paper and found that I had the lucky number. It was the first time I ever won any money.” Miss Sanders won a fruit basket at Cooper High School, Clayton, before the school clos ed for the Christmas holidays. She is the librarian for the school and was still jubilant over that. The Sweepstakes winner is a graduate of North Carolina College. She is a member St. Annah Freewill Baptist Church and conducts a dance school, at Radio Station WLLE.

"We have every reason to believe that Mr. Marcus Hick man, the chairman of the Re publican Party, will be con cerned about treating the Ne gro as an important part of the Republican Par".” the news letter said. "Too long have we been pup pets for the Democrats and al lowed them to take our vote for granted. Now let them work for it and show us what ‘good accrues to us.” The letter said that new GOP sheriff Donald Stahl had prom ised to hire seven Negro dep uties - three of them outside the jail, but Stahl said that this was a misunderstanding. Stahl said that in a speech he had noted that Negroes ought to have "six or seven” of the deputy jobs. He said, however, that he did not specify that three oi them would be work ing outside the jail. Stahl is hoping that he will have a Negro deputy serving papers soon. Negroes have not done this before. The new sheriff said that he had offered a job ’o a qualified Negro and that he hoped he would take it.

The two organiza tions were promised more funds, in the future, if the}’ would widen their fund raising operations. Thp money was not earmarked for any particu lar project but could be used for general operations. The foundation granted $430,- 000 to the league and $300,000 to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. A foundation spokesman said it was the first time Ford funds had been given the two organi zations without a specific pur pose. Previous Foundation grants earmarked for special projects had been given the league and the NAACP’s Legal Defense and Education Fund, however. McGeorge Bundy, Ford Foundation president, said ad ditional one-year grants might be made over the next several years. “Such a decision will be based in part on whether these organi zations can achieve a substan tially greater level of support from their members, from other private sources or funds, and from American society gen erally,’’ he asserted.

The per sonnel pinch has tightened considerably and almost over night the smaller busi nesses, find themselves now, in direct competition, dollar-wise, with the much more sizeable salaries of giant businsses and industries, not to speak of govern ment and institutions. Such an addition to the now expanding technical world, brought about through the im • pac t of the \V. W. Molding Tech nical Center, in Wake County, would further guarantee a greater abundance of the use of our human resources. It would allow many youths to begin their life’s framing early, thereby bringing to the commercial, technical and industrial phases of this area, a fuller human resevoir, to supply the grow ing need ol such personnel. We solicit the support of the R iVigh Cha.nberofCommerce, the Raleigh Merchants Bureau, the N c, Merchants Associa tion, organizations, institutions and individuals, from Governor Moore down, including legisla tors, to affix their names to a petition, showing their in terest, desire and sympathy, towards bringing to fruition such a school for our young and technical-minded section. We beliece our local Board of Education would leave no s’one unturned in meeting the demands upon it which would enrich the lives oi the people, geared to the areas, this type of education appeals to and serves. We believe that the Boar'll of Education should delve into the matter below the high school level and plan a technical e.jr curriculum that would begin as low as the fifth grade. Our modern day trend is so geared until fifth and six graders are able to discern the hope for a fuller and more serviceable life.

Mr. Winters had the distinct honor of being ’ e first Negro ever elected to the August body and has given a good account of his stewardship to the citi zens of the state capitol. He, in a prepared statenv nt, to the CAROLINIAN said, Since so mam of mj friends have asked if I would lie a candidate for re-election, I thought it proper and timely that I make the following state ment: The pressing; responsibilities of a growing business requir ing more and more of my time makes it necessary tor me 1 o answer that I will not be a candidate for the City Council after the completion of my pre sent term. This has been a hard decision to make but one that I feel is in the best in terest of nr city, family and business.

Above all, I am graceful to the citizens of Rileigh for having given me an opportunity to serve six years, and in a small way, (See COUNCILMAN, P. 2) However, a remedy to this growing need of efficient and trained personnel can be found in, we believe, a technical high school, located within the city limits of Raleigh. In such an educational center, much talent would be further trained that drop out, somewhere between the elemen tary and high school graduation- This type of school is feasible as it would give another stfong link in the fine educational and cultural chain, to be found in the Capital City.

Wife Says ‘‘Shoot Me'* 1 Husband Kills Her According to a story told to local police by Haywood Hicks, Sr., 914 Fayetteville St.., he waited anxiously up on the night of Dec. 31, until 12:18, not wait ing for the New Year, but wait ing for his wife, whom he had reason to suspect would come, accompanied by her boyfriend, who was identified as Hallie Sanders. He related, as he expected, while he kept watch, sitting in the living room with the front door open, with his loaded 16 gauge shotgun, he saw his wife, accompanied by a man, as they approached the house, he went outside.
