ROCKY MOUNT—It has long
been said that whatever happens
“up North” soon finds its way
Southward. It now seems that
all the isms which have plagued
the civil rights movement in the
north are now threatening to
disrupt the reasonable harmony
and effectiveness of Tarheelia’s
NAACP Conference which has
been led by Kelly Miller Alex
ander Sr., for more than 18
years is about to hie confused
by the reported “Challenge” of
Rev. W.E. Banks of Thomas
ville, who has (supposedly) been
one of Alexander’s loyal sup
porters. Sincere NAACP work
ers are much concerned that
this alleged disruption should
manifest itself at a time when
organizational unity was never
more greatly needed than now.
This announcement comes
closely on the heels of a previ
ous announcement that Alex
ander’s son had been dropped
from the presidency of a youth
and college chapter and was
replaced by a Chicago youth. The
senior Alexander said the pro
cedure used was contrary to
NAACP regulations. Such ac

students are wanting greater
militancy in the freedom fight.

DEAR SALLY: When I was
16 I eloped with the boy I was
going steady with, hut the mar
riage was immediately annulled
by my parents —for which I
am nosy very thankful. I sub
sequently met and married a
much finer man, and now at the
age of 24 am the proud mother
of two darling children. What
I am wondering now is wheth

an early age about my early

the possibility of their being
shocked should someone else
later tell them the news. Plen

DEAR DEB: Yes, I think it
would be wise to tell your chil
dren about this when they're be
tween about the ages of 8 and
10, ir: as gentle and casual a
manner as possible. It’s al
ways unwise to try to keep such
things secret - especially when,
as in your case, somany others

DEAR SALLY: We have some
very dose friends whose daugh

weeks ago. Now we have receiv

which is being given by the girl’s
parents in honor of the newly

“many ministers” backing him
will not materialize and that the
convention will repudiate such
efforts.
Kelly Alexander’s name car
ries much weight in national
NAACP circles over the nation.
So why would one or more of
his cabinet members want to
deprive the nation of his office
and the prestige it carries?
Besides being a life member
of NAACP, Alexander has been
a member of the national board
for many years.
Others who have wrought well
for as long or longer than Kelly
Sr. include Bull City’s legal

Charles A. McLean, Mrs. Bea

Due to Illness this writer will

NAACP policy which has been
the best since 1909.
church wedding. H. L. J.
DEAR H. L. J.: In the first
place, a wedding gift is never
something “owed.” It’s a sym
bol of your fei*lmgs for the
persons involved, arid in this
case if your feelings of friend

strong enough, you will certain

DEAR SALLY: Our son re
cently graduated from law col
lege, and is now practicing.
Since the beginning of a law
practice is usually rather slow,
a couple of our relatives visit
ed his office for legal counsel,
in order (as they put it) to
build up his confidence. How
ever, when he sent them a mod
est bill for his services, they
became very huffy and refused
to pay them. Now what can he
do about this? STANDERS
BY.
DEAR STANDERS-BY: He
should write off these “dead
beat” relatives and learn from
the experience. Hereafter,
when any relatives come to
him for professional advice, he
should make it clear in advance
that there is a fee attached to
his services. This should not
be awkward or indelicate... it’s
