P. 2) Raleigh Group Upset Over Prison Stand A local group of citizens, calling them selves the Commit tee of Seventeen, have written recently to Governor Dan K. Moore protesting the pro’ abi lity of relocating Camp oik Prison Camp on the Rock Quar ry Road. The group, who has as one of its spokesman, Willie Bry ant, assistant registrar at St. Augustine’s College here, In the letter to the Governor said, "We wish to call your attention to and respect fully request your inter vention in the present plans of the State Prison Commission to relocate Camp Polk. "Several items from local daily newspapers have indicated that Mr. Bounds (V. Lee, head of the N. C. Prison Commis sion) recommended relocating Camp Polk on Rock Quarry Rd., near two other prison installa tions, both of which should lie While Camp Polk is undesirable In a white neigh-, borhood (Blue Ridge Rd.), it seems that Mr. Bounds and the Commission think that it is quite desirable, or It does not mat ter, in a black neighborhood. We wonder If this is the kind of JUSTICE or goodwill toward humanity that should lie perpe tuated in Raleigh and the State of North Carolina.” According to Mr. Bryant, the Governor did not reply, but a representative ol hts office did. This is not the first time that tiie State of North Carolina Isas invaded predominantly Negro neighborhoods with undesirable building construction. In September of 1957, a mon stroud State Motor Vehicles Conspicuously Absent (AN EDITORIAL) This newspaper had an opportunity to look over the Repub lican Convention on the ave of Its opening, in Miami Beach, Fla. It found trial North Carolina was riot alone in the miserable representation of people of color, as delegates and represen tatives. There was only one Negro in the North Carolina dele gation, ft. W, Dalton, Durham, who Is an alternate. The hue and cry has come up from Florida and Louisiana that Negro delegates were mistreated in the election of dele gates. A suit was begun Friday to have another slate of dele gates seated, from both states, In which there are Negroes. The Republican party of North Carolina has failed to ex plore this potential and the Negro has failed to push for consideration on the top eschelon. This means that the party has left the Negro off. This is a sad commentary for those of us who want a true democracy in the State, It should bo remembered that we should not permit ourselves to be caught in the doldrums of Ineptness, through the out-moded premise that the white man is going to give us what he wants us to have. That, perhaps, is our most glaring mistake. We all know that to the victor goes the spoils and unless we be s part of the winning team, In either party, we must be content with the crumbs from a much-filled tgble, This accounts for the fact that „we have no Negroes feeding from the ladened political table in North Carolina. We have a token consideration in the few members of'city gov ernment, but like former Governor Terry Sanford told a group of Negroes, when they asked that Negroes be given some of the political plums that he had available. He is alleged to have told them that the only jobs left were those that begun at $12,000 per year and that was a “white man’s*’ salary, The time has come when Negroes must demand recogni tion in both parties. This newspaper dares not tell the Ne groes of the State what party they should embrace, but M does say that the Negro must realise that he can no longer put all of his eggs In one basket, especially when % appears that none of them have hatched out in the permdal basket.

The Bohanans also have two children of their own, Brad ley, 4, and Maribeth, 8 months. For Love of Children (FLOC), a private organization, acted as intermediary between the Dis trict of Columbia department of public welfare and the Bc hanas. Mrs. Bohanan, who has been teaching in an Arlington Head Start program, said her loss of contact with the Hoad Start children at. night and on week ends prompted her to favor the foster parentship. “It would be bettor tr> have six full-time children, rather than eight part-time,’’ she said, in explaining why she and her husband took in the foster chil dren.
