RCRC’s Bill Knight Says Those Who Talk
About The Past Doing Little In Present
BY WILL IAM KNIGHT
Those who converse too much
about the past are usually doing
very little in the present and
do much less in the future.
O t all the wise sayings was one
by Kwame Nkrumah on the 25th
of October, 1363 at the opening
of the Institute of African Stu
dies. “Education consists not
only in the sum of what a man
knows, or the skill with which
he can put this to his own ad
vantage.
In my view, a man’s educa
tion must also be measured in
terms of the soundness of his
judgment of people and things
and in his power to understand
and appreciate the needs of his
fellowmen, and to be of service
to them. The educated man
should be so sensitive to the
conditions around him that he
makes it his fliief endeavor to
improve those conditions for
the good of all.”
We only relate to history for
facts and most so-called his
torical facts have become con
troversial. The people w r ho es
tablished the facts, as laws
aren’t really important. Only
the fact of law is important.
People aren’t really concerned
whether or not I am Dr, Knight
or Bill. They are concerned if
that Individual thinks and acts
as a brother for the people or
a Tom for himself. Education
is Important! But its only im
portant in the way one relates
to his fellow man.
We have all known a teacn
er who wasn’t relating, right?
To put himself or herself a
bove all in the room, they us
ually made this fool statement;
"I’ve got mines, you got to
get yours,” Os course, the
standard reply was, "I noticed
something was wrong with you.
It's that education. It’s made
a fool of you. Nkrumah’s reply
was; “Above all, don’t become
The Veterans
Center
EDITOR’S NOTE: Below are
authoritative answers by the
Veterans Administration to
some of the many current ques
tions from former servicemen
and their families. Further in
formation on veterans benefits
may be obtained at any VA of
fice.
Q -- I am 62 years old and
have a National Service Life In
surance policy. After my 60th
birthday, I became totally dis
abled, and have been told that
I can now qualify for waiver
of premiums. Is this true?
A-- Yes. Check with your
nearest VA office, or write to
the office where you pay your
insurance premiums.
Q- I am a remarried widow'
of a veteran, and have never
applied for pension because I
believe I am not eligible. How
ever, the veteran's son, who is
in my c'are, may be eligible.
Should I apply for a pension
for him'’
A- You are right in assum
ing you are not eligible for pen
sion because of your remarri
age, but your remarriage does
not affect the eligibility of the
veteran's son. It is suggested
that you request forms and as
sistance from your nearest VA
office, so you can apply for a
pension for him without further
delay.
Q - My ex-husband’s National
Service Life Insurance, of which
I am the beneficiary, is still
In force. He does not wish to
continue paying the premiums,
so 1 am paying them, I have been
told that he can change the bene
ficiary without consulting me.
Is this correct?
A- Yes. The insured is the
only person who can change
beneficiaries, and he does not
have to consult you if he wishes
to change his beneficiary.

Molasses for Summer Cooking
Summertime is the time to
prepare food favorites in easy
ways that provide lots of flavor
and nutrition. One way to add
a delightful touch to beans and
barbecues is to dress them with
a traditional American cook
ing ingredient, light molasses.
Molasses ’n’ Beans
Light molasses adds rich
flavor and color, as well as val
uable iron so necessary for
energy and good health, to
canned beans. Use light molas
ses to spark popular pork and
beans or beans in tomato sauce,
and try it with new varieties
like kidney or pinto beans.
Some will like their beans cold.
Light molasses, vinegar, salt,
chopped onion and spices will
make a hearty dressing for
bean salad.

Education, what is It good
for? For Blacks It means a
substandard white man’s jobfor
most or it can mean more
“power to the people.” It all
depends on what you do with
it. Y'ou can use the knowledge
to guide and understand Black
people or act a fool and remain
a second class system In a
decaying social society. You can
take that education and carve
into the minds of the young
blacks a responsibility to the
struggle.
It should be a challenge to
Black teachers to bring them
selves together to create pro
grams to help students during
the summer. Apply for grants!
It’s not enough to sav we have
had tnem for 9 months; it s
time for a change. You will be
Black for a life-time and the
only changes you’ll see are
those that you create. If you
aren't a part of the changing
times then you are already dead,
you just haven't bothered to lie
dowTi.
