Rocky Mount OIC - one of

strug gli n f ai out e tghteen
months to keep its program
goi:v mainly on 'tie generosity
of the local businss and indus
i; i.ii emtribmions received,
plus s sn all amount from the
black community. However, the
few among the leadership of the
blacks, who have given much of
their labors with little or no
remuneration in return, have
been the pn:: ■ facto; in keep

Arlinda Harrison, sixth grade
111, Oliver K. Pope Elementary
School, reports that their sci
ence and health teacher, Mrs.
Sallye Kirby, gave them an in
teresting story on rabies. We’ll
let Arlinda tel! it in her own
words: “Our science and health
teacher, Mrs. Sallye Kirby, read
us an article about Matthew
Winkler of Lima, Ohio, who was
bitten by a bat that liad rabies.
The story is the nev.qiaper stat
ed the boy was hopelessly sick,
but was cured, and became the
only human to lie cured from
rabies.'’
However, M «■:. Kirby, an a

ha - ing read “Health fun All,”
3th grade textbook, that Joseph
Meistor was tp,. first cured by
Louis Pastern in the 1880's,

W e are sure all loyal Shawites
thrilled when they read the Len
ten Guidepost message telling
the graphic story of Shaw's ex
tra - famous alumna Angie
Brooks of Lineria, Africa, got
money enough to get a ticket to
America and Shaw University
while in her early or mid
teen years. (If you missed it
look up your favorite dally of
March 25-27).
Miss Brooks tells of how
she was taught honesty and to
always go to Church on Sun
day by a dear one known as
“Aunt Tootoo” with whom she
live during adolescence; and
promised her on her death
bed to come to America and
Shaw to get an education and re
turn to Africa and work with
her people.
This, she did with the aid
of friends and even strangers,
who raised the extra S2OO of
her needed transportation ex
penses when upon reaching the
boat, it was found it had ad
vanced. This is a thrilling true
Life Story of a poor black Af
rican girl who had faith and
.ade good because she trust
ed God, and recently rose to an
ambassadorial position and
president of the United Nat ions.
A wonderful example for today’s
youths, many of whom waiste
their time and talent in demand
ing that others do thus and
thusly for them.
So Bill Cosby, whose TV
spot (we understand) will be
dropped by NBC this Fall, is
producing a clean movie, or.
his own, with the aid of a kind
friend, J. Cornelius Crane,
who is helping finance the mil
lion-dollar project to be a GP
rated family movie, which he
believes there are millions
yet wanting to see-so they can
take their children.
The Rev. Elbert Lee, Jr.,
told his North End Baptist
congregation, Sunday, “God’s
Way is the Best Way, after
all; and the Church must be
come more concerned about
racial matters and Love instead
of hating their fellowmen, re
eardless of race or conditions.”

SMITHFIELD - Each must
work with the talent he possess,
although it might seem very
small, but even the smallest
part is very important. Remem
ber Moses had only a rod, but
look at the power he had. David
had a sling and was able to
slay a giant. If people of God
would only use the ability they
have, certainly that would be
sufficient.

What a switch! It is reported
that in Hungary today, a doctor
who studies for years to attain
hia professional status receives
$56,50 a month as a starting sal
ary. Meanwhile, an uneducated
industrial worker's average
monthly beginning wage is
$52.60. If this is the so-called
