a short stroll. "Yes I know I’m making history,” 19-year-old Pauletta said, "but I’m a girl like

the judges will be fair.” She was the second runner-up to "Miss North Carolina” Saturday
night. (UPI).
Black NC Girl Second Runner-l p
To "“Miss North Carolina” Winner
BY J. R. BARREN
The Nemro (or Black) citizens of Tarheelia and (he Nation are es
pecially pleased and thankful that the Hickory. Jaycees, Newton-Con
over’s white leadership teamed up with Lenoir Rhyne College and the
N. C. National Bank in giving Miss Pauletta Pa shells Pearson a chance
to show that she had much to offer in the way of talent, beauty, poise and
congeniality, as the first of her r ice to compete on the basis of equality
with 69 of her Caucasian sisters in the “Miss North Carolina” Beauty
Pageant.
And In case anv Whites had
any misgivings about Pauletta’s
being allowed to compete, they
should remember that this is A
merica. the much vaunted ‘land
of the free’ where all of ns are
supposed to be allowed to use
our best talents to “burgeon
out the best that is in us."
And Pauletta in doing that un
der the sponsorship of the Hick
ory Jaycees has added many
dimensions to the sponsors, tl e
area, State and Nation. Weprav
God that other communities w ill
catch that spirit and do like
wide in this and and other areas
of social and community life
that we may all live more
closely-knit and with more
cordially toward each other,
less evil forces from within
and with,out overwhelm us in
America.
