12 THE CAROLINIAN RALEIGH, N. t\. SATURDAY. MARCH 8. 1909 News It Views “GIV r OTHERS A LITTLE BIT MORE. . ” ROCKY MOUNT - During the ; half ~ time of the Clemson - ; Maryland basketball game at - clem son, S, C., Saturdr .there was an impressive dedicatory of the J. C. Littlejohn gymn by school officials and mem oers ot the Littlejohn tamiiy. A son, Col. Littlejohn, gave a summary of his father’s dedi eatio' to the progress ofclern son College. Colonel Littlejohn said his grandmother, wanting to give young J. C. "more than she had been able to get in the way of education,” sent him off to Clemson at a very early age. Thus, it was that Daddy J. C. spent some fifty years attend ing and teaching at Clemson, having been intensely interested in its sports program He took to always "give any little boy a bit more than ho himself i • otten.” Thus, t’ne honor of tin- stadium being named for h irn. That should be an excellent ■ credo for all young people to tak( unto themselves and live by, rather than striving to tear down what has been won in ra cial pj ogress through the hard earned gains of their forebears and friends. We, of the Negro race, who are ail poor in this I’s i.oorb arid can ill af ford to bo arrogant, toward any one. Solomon wisely said: "Pri ■ f couth before destruc -1 'on: and, a haughty spirit be fore a fall.” Our youth - all of on: - would do well to read ill tin Book of Proverbs to get the unvarnished lessons of lite before they accept the com line of denying the ex istence of God and rejecting i'it teachings and that of their eld , . struggled long :-i hard in trying to bring them ■ • • on ihe w.f, to freedom and equalny. We think t!,<> two UNC blacks fa * pr. f. r to be called) re undid; discourteous to the • • a.an ,vi en they reportedly nsan i him; ‘‘You’re a foo man” to ask what we’re ’ , to no. You’ll get a state . i.t act■ why don’t n.; i. • ■ <• ciiancellor what he’s oinr to do? Courtesy helps . \embody. It never bonders, ad the more courtesy and ■.suit; we can show, with in tetlu race, the more we advance our cause of freedom. Wt r ”’i et very much the up iu a'.tis on the part of black students who have just, recent ly gotten idmitted to predom iaatl;. DHL college campuses. This minor:.; of the minority Negro ste.muits is seriously im i... ■ Hit’ tlm opportunities of the majority of the minority who is sib. . ml to lead decent lives nd benefit by the better ed ucational opportunities a 'salable there. The most many of these ultra-militants have to offer Is a filthy mouth and soiled linen, neither of which lifts them. We equally deplore theaction ,f tiie similar vociferous min orities who art spreading the • unrest on hardpressed Negro college campuses on our state and elsewhere. All of this makes seasoned civil rights advocates lump, their heads in shame as tin* grandchildren renounce and largely nulify the efforts of more than sixty years to obtain ail integrated society with equal opportunities for all - through NA AC P efforts. "Vour NAACP was principal ly responsible for the Senate Select Committee on Nutrition md Human Needs being sent into th i Palmetto State to verify the sordid conditions of hunger and slow starvation among the Ne groes of two counties. The Rev. I. DoQuincey New man, N \ACP Director for South Carolina, dug up the info which caused the Committee to take a look-see and approve of the food -stamp plan for temporary relief to the suffering, who Newman commended for not having resorted to burning and looting as m metropolitan areas. Then, here in Tarheelia, it lias been revealed this past week that similar conditions of pov ■ erty and much hunger iiave been found - even before Gov. Dan Moore left office. Gov. Rob ert vv. Scott is said to be hav ing the matter studied. Here’s hoping it will not take so long between Ids announcement and the delivery of food to the hun gry stomachs which cannot wait on a lot of red tape maneuv ering. One congressman reportedly said of the Palmetto State hun ger situation; It would have qualified for foreign aid had it been in a foreign nation. Things so close at hand we do not see because we ward to say it isn’t so. NAACP national treasurer Alfred Baker Lewis, retired businessman, Is now on ah elev en-state lour of sixty cities in Dixie where he is addressing many of these local NAACP units and being interviewed by the press. John M. Brooks, NAACP na tional director of voter regis tration, told a political action group In Louisville, Ky.; "We’ve got to get away from this business of voting for a man because he’s black or v hite. \\ e’ve got to vote for the candidates for wh2t they can do for us.” Louisville is striv ing for 10,000 additional voters by March 29. Five underprivileged boys in their mid - teens - three white, two colored - were awarded certificates for being the top five in an essay contest conducted at East Carolina Boys School by the local DAR chap ter on Heroines of the Ameri can Revolution.” A Negro boy won second place; and another black tied with a white for fourth place. Not bad for the underprivileged blacks, is it? The faculty is also integrated. CARL ROWAN LAUDSNAACP PROGRESS Those who doubt the pre eminence of the NAACP in the civil rights field should read air,ong many other things-the Jan. 20 letter by America’s (perhaps) most renowned Negro civil rights field should read the NAACP thusly: "Our nation today stands at a decisive juncture, with one road leading to a tragic abyss racial separatism and violence. The other route, though difficult and uncharted, leads to integra tion and democratic harmony. “If we as Americans suc ceed in proving that the demo cratic process will bring equa lity to our Negro citizens, it will in large measure be the result of ceaseless effort and leadership by the NAACP, with which I have personally been associated since niv student days more than twenty years ago. From first-hand experi ence, I can affirm that the NAACP has been the true leader of the civil rights me ement. “Before most of today’s youngsters were born, the NAACP had already devised virtually all of the tactics that produced such enormous strides in the Negro’s struggle for equality. At the same time, we have completely rejected violence and racism. That is why most Negroes, according to every poll in recent years, still regard us the leading civil rights organization by far,’’ Then Rowan, who has served in U. S. diplomatic posts a l>oard, wrote this of the NAACP leadership and beeged for een erous contributions to the NAACP’s Speical Contribution Fund: "The man most responsible (since the death of Walt er White) for the Association’s remark ably effective leadership is its Executive Director, Roy Wilkins. Since 1955, Roy Wilk ins and the NAACP have be come virtually synonymous.” Then Rowan mentions the Jan uary 1968 story on "Roy Wilk ins - ‘Mr. civil Rights"’, in Readers Digest, by Irwin Ross. The story narrates the 30 years of Wilkins’ NAACP work heralded evervwhere. We wish that those who rush out with a so-called new panacea to cure tiie diseases of dis crimination and segregation and their attendant evils, would join the NAACP army and get proper training before causing the loss of a lot of ground gained. We had an encouraging tele phone conversation with Dr. John R. Larkins, who has serv ed under six or seven gover nors (more than 25 years) in the N. C. Welfare Department as a Consultant on Negro Af fairs. (Prior to the Good Neigh bor Council his office helped to extinguish racial fires). Frcmkliiffoti BY MRS.

On the walls and housetops soft and thick trey lei. On the window ledges on the branches bough, oh how fast they gather filling all the air. As I looked into the garden where the grass once was green, covered by the snow flakes and not a blade was seen. Now the bare black bushes, look soft and white, and every twig was laden, what a pretty sight. Now in the last place, let us say that a little garden or a big garden proclaims the high est cost of life’s full fruition. "Oh that a man would rise in us to make us the men we ought to be. There was not much church going last Sunday. The white carpet that covered the earth kept most of us in, bui deep down in our hearts, we praised and thanked God.
