of "epression and

ti .I' enoug! to say
stcu'. tut we should
r istory as the His
ic • . People. This
i th.e question about
i . i Americans. By
place of birth we are American
but by point of historic origin
we are an African People.
Law and justice must con
sist primarily of negotiation
of conflicts within the Black
Community. We must work to
wards the mechanisms that lead
to “legal” oppression. Thus,
it is important that Black law
yers are recognized in 11 e same
light as political activists and
collaborate as much as possible
to survive the raps of oppres
sion on our God-given free
doms. Within the same scope
the Black Lawyer and the poli
tical activist must work closely
in the design of political activi
ty that will legally benefit the
communitv as a whole. I’m not
saying that all the tactics used
will be legal but the outcome of
an act should benefit the com
munity legally.
Black Technology is the end
rhetoric and a move to develop
ing skill is necessary for na
tionalism or nation building.
To the youth, it should be noted
that our senior citizens have
forced into the realization that
to take land and not be able to
develop it would be a waste.
Thus, we must deal with the
factor of being able to produce
and the key to production is
Technology.
Communications and Systems
Analysis is important because
of the effects that the white
press plays upon emotionalism
in order to sell their papers.
This emotionalism takes place
in various forms. We are most
aware of the racism displayed
in the white press. It i« ’m
pUl tiUll luai wc i fcxalti lO
people in proper terms of our
positions without evaluation of
our motivation by a news man
unrelated to the issue at hand.
'Our system of communication
must be one that is trans
oceanic in scope. Our concerns
must be one of relationship be
tween African people and black
organizations.
Social Organization must be
revamped to address itself to
the needs of Black people. Oiir
present form of social order
is patterned so closely after the
white society that we often
overlook potentials in our com
munity. Thus social clubs di
rected to the needs of our peo
ple generally seek the educa
tional opportunities. This di
rection is a must if we are
going to wage the continuance
of our struggle.
Finally, Community Organi
zation is necessary to form a
united front for the betterment
of our community. It isn s t the
question any longer of what the
white community is going to do
for us but yvhat we are going to
do for ourselves. One person
cannot do it alone. It is going
to take all of us working to
gether.

Southern Beil
Seeking Rate
Increase Here
Soutnei n Ben Telephone
Company last Friday in Raleigh
filed an application with the
North Carolina Utilities Com
mission for increased rates.
“Greatly inereased-and still
increasing -costs of providing
telephone service are the rea
son for the application,” point
ed out John J. Ryan, Vice Presi
dent and General Manager.
Ryan stated that this is the
first application for a general,
statewide incrase since 1954,
some 16 years ago.
The Vice President said the
company has been able to off
set many high costs by innova
tions, efficiencies and eco
nomies, by research and techn
ological improvements. “We
have held the line against a
general rate Increase as long as
we possibly could. But inflation,
particularly with Its extremely
rapid surge in recent years, has
caught up with us,” he said.
Ryan cited several elements
of greatly increased costs, in
cluding larger and larger ex
penditures for buildings and
other facilities to keep service
good and expand it, higher in
vestment costs for capital
funds, substantial increases n
wage levels, rents, supplies and
other expenses.
As an example of increased
costs, he pointed out that the
company Invested SBIO in facili-
ties for the average main tele
phone gained in 1954 and that
this cost is up to $2400 for the
final nine months of 1970.
To continue keeping pace with
North Carolina’s growth and
its needs for good and expand
ing telephone service, Southern
Bell plans to spend s]9s mil
lion. an all-time high, for facili
