LAURINBURG - W. L, Baker,
principal, Washington Park
School, told a Men's Day audi
ence at Franklin Chapel AME
Zion Church that there is grave
danger in apathy and unless the
citizens of Laur inburg and Scot
land woke up from this apathy
he shuddered to think what would
become of the Negro children of
that community.
Mr Baker was the principal
speaker at the annua! Men’s Day
program, at 11 a. m. Sunday,
ae began by telling the audi
ence that he was alarmed over
the fact that the men of the
community had not accepted the
responsibility that goes with
roaring their children and has
left too much of the responsibil
ity to the mother. He charged
that such persons were not
capable of being called men.
He lashed out against those who
would not pay enough attention to
their children to see that they
were reared in the fear and
admonition of the Lord,
He said that such apathy had
created a great disadvantage
in the local school and he was
terribly alarmed about the dis
parity that exists between the
white and Negro children as
they now attend integrated
classes. He was alarmed over
the fact that a Negro child,
with about a third grade classi
fication, would not be thrown
into a class with white children
and would be taking algebra
this school year. He said it
T was appalling that many such
Negro children could not spell
algebra.
The speaker warned that the
gap was almost too great to
bridge, but the government said
ilt must be bridged. He did not
put all of the blame on the
Negro however and saidthatthe
dual system had not undermined
the Negro child, but the white
child would be terribly crippled,
while waiting for the Negro child
to catch up. He said that is
one of the great prices that
our society must not only ac
cept the responsibility for cre
ating, but would have to join
its forces to eradicate as soon
as possible. "There Is no turn
ing back, we must go forward
and il we say we can do, we
wHi do,” he concluded.
He chided his audience about
saying "My white folks '’ He
said the matter of cow-towing
and uncle - turning had per
meated the minds and souls of
children and the parents
wre responsible for it. "This
places a tremendous burden on
the teacher to raise a child’s
thinking from submission to
fortitude, from fear to courage
arid from doubt to firmness,”
he said.
He was echoed by Alexander
i Barnes, director, Public Rela
tions, AME Zion Church, who
followed him, representing the
AME Zion Church, Barnes ad
monished the audience that it is
later now for both the Negro
and the nation than it has ever
been and that America must rise
to the occasion or be swalled
up in the changing times.
The program was chaired by
Vernon Wall and all of the par
ticipants were men. Willie
Thomas presided. Prayers
were offered by George Ed
Zeigler. Sexter Long led the
responsive reading. Others who
took part were Levern Alien,
Vernon Wall, Donrde McNeil,
Lean McLeod, Lacy Caple, De

/the speaker. Special music was
furnished by a men's chorus.

Says Man Shot While
Trying To Give Up
FAYETTEVILLE - Cumber
land County citizens are watch
ing with much interest a suit
filed in the Federal District
Court, against Sheriff W, G,
Clark, two officers and
the bonding company, which
Issued the Indemnity bond for
Sheriff Clark. The suit seeks
to recover damages for the
shooting death of Larry Perry
Monroe, in an alleged attempt
to turn himself in, after an
escape from the Cumberland
County Jail.
The suit avers that Monroe
and four other prisoners made
*a successful try of leaving the
jail, without permission, which
was termed an escape. The
five escapees eluded pursuers
and made their way to the banks
of the Cape Fear River, where
they remained for 3 1/2 hours
of freedom. The complaint
further gave that the quintet
reconsidered their plight and
was heading lack to the jail
to give themselves up.
Upon emerging from their
hiding place and reaching the
crest of the hill, the complaint
says that they faced Sheriff
Clark and two of his officers,

Educator Describes
Intellectuals As
Today’s ‘Royalty’
LAWRENCEVILLE, Va. - Dr.
Albert N. Whiting, president of
North Carolina College at Dur
ham, told the closing assembly
of the Summer Session of St.
Paul's College here last week
that "the intellectual Is truly
today’s royalty.”
Introduced by SPC President
Earl H. MeClenney, the visit
ing educator told the audience,
including 162 persons enrolled
in two summer programs and
faculty - staff members of St,
Paul’s, of his concept of "the
demands which ... face today’s
intellectual royalty;”
* "The endless, tireless pur
suit of one’s highest potential.
* "At all costs, hold fast
to your intellectual integrity,
* "Purposefulness which
rises above self-interest.”
He understood his points with
the added observation that

ner, who, without warning or
call to halt, opened fire on the
escapees, Monroe is alleged to
have been mortally wounded,
from gun shot wounds that hit
him in the back.
It is alleged that Sheriff
Clark, in an effort to explain
the shooting, which many say
was wanton and reckless, says
that It was not determined which
one of the officers fired the
shot that killed Monroe. It was
not determined whether bal
listics experts had beer, called
in to determine which one of the
law enforcement officers was
guilty of firing the fatal shot.
Monroe was being held in the
Cumberland County jail, in lieu
of a S2OO bond, awaiting a pre
liminary hearing, on a break
ing and entering charge. Willie
Henry Monroe is administrator
for the estate oi the late Larry
Perry Monroe.
The suit asks $150,000 in ac
tual damages plus $50,000 in
punitive damages from Clark,
deputy E. W. Collins, William
Joyner of tire Cumberland
County Identification Bureau
and Fidelity and Casualty Co.
of New York.
"what for centuries (had) raised
man above the beast is not
the cldgel, but an inward mu
sic; the irresistible power of
unarmed truth, the powerful at
traction of its example,”
Dr. Whiting averred earlier
in his address that "before the
Kennedy days and The New
Frontier’ and LBJ’s ‘The New
Society/ the United States rep
resented a ‘Depleted Society.’
Some scholars say that this
deterioration resulted from the
unprecedented concentration of
America's technical and intel
lectual talent and fresh capi
tal on military production.”
He continued; "But surely
it is clear and undeniable that,”
among other factors, “the ten
dencies to violate human digni
ty through publicly - condoned
expressions of prejudices...
