P. 2) BallotS And Bucks Make More SenSe (An Editorial ) Nobody should have any quibble with petition, dis sent or rt quest for change for the betterment for all con corned under the law and with equality and justice for all. On the other hand, it is the responsibility of every citi zen to accept whatever role he can play in maintaining and promoting a peaceful and harmonious climate in which we must all live No society or culture can endure with any quality and enrichment for its people if it fails to embody in it a regard for others. The rich must find a spot in their hearts for the poor: officials in any capacity must regard their offices as a trust representing the people and not themselves or a special interest: leaders should go beyond self aggrandise ment determining wavs and means whereby the people can become aware and knowledgeable about caring for them selves through training and < ypericnee. Those of us who may be less fortunate might take another look at how we can better our lot in further training ourselves and our children. All of us owe Raleigh and its environs the tranquility it deserves. Whether we nn buying or selling, petitioning tor being petitioned, there is away to do it. There is r.ei question about inequities among all of us. They should be presented to the proper officials with firmness and fact and solutions sought. However the re is no need for unnec essary beligerency and threats of violence. Ballots and dollars will go a lot further in deciding the future of the black man’s cause. And with this taking firmer root throughout the country, wc should broom: more appreciative c‘ the on filer returns awaiting us with continued effort in this direction. Let’s have a cool, progressive and harmonious summe r in Raleigh, with progress and grenvth for all. pir^i BOY, 15, MORTALLY WOUNDED IN N.
