As we turn back the pages
of Flkdom, it is interesting to
note that we have been in busi
ness for more than one hundred
years. The years of 1868
through *7!’ were called the
fornuilative years. They were
allowed by the state of New
York to put on a dispensation
for the lodges to go into per
manent organization.
The Grand Lodge charter was
issued March 10, 1871 in New
York State. The Lodges that
were set up immediately were
in San Francisco, Sacramento,
California, Baltimore, Mary
land, Chicago, Illinois, Louis
ville, Ky., Cincinnati, Ohio,
Boston, Mass, and Pittsburgh,
Pa. In 1878 there were onlv
820 members.
Plans have just about been
completed for the State con', tui
tion which will be held in 1972
in New Bern, North Carolina,
according to information re
ceived from State Director J.R.
ij ay wood, I mean as far as
"Tne site and headquarters are
concerned. It is our hope that
we can have the full support
of the Lodges and Temples over
the State as to the complete
history and pictures of their
buildings and group so we may
lie able to present it at that
time. lam asking them to
contact your Scribe on this mat
ter at once because we don’t
want anyone to be left out.
I just received some Infor
mation that there Is an effort
underway by the Daughters to
help our State Director to at
tend the National meeting in
New Orleans during the last
week in August. These affairs,
I am fold, will start with a
Tea Sunday evening at a;00
P.M. on the lawn of Fidelity
Lodge on East Davie Street.
Come out and support this
worthwhile cause.
Those of you who comprise
the Fifth District must get over
and see the new building that
the Bull City Lodge and So
noma Temple has just complet
ed. It is located just behind
the old structure, so they are
boasting of sporting two build
ings, instead of one. I under
stand they are having a formal
opening, from Friday night
through Sunday.
The Brothers and Daughters
are sending their money in now
for the New Orleans trip and
I am sure you realize that it
is set up on a first come, first
served basis, so don’t put It
off any longer if y ou plan to go.
Around the city, I am pleas
ed to see men like Dr. J. Ar
chie Hargraves, president of
Shaw University, and Dr. Lar
nio Horton, president of Kittroll
College, out saying hello and
getting a little recreation with
the Meadowbrook group. Other

Schools
Undecided
by c. warren massexburg
After a request for revision
by the Department of Health,
I ducat ion and Welfare, Wake
County Schools are presently
conducting a complete review of
Its present desegregation plan.
Supt. Aaron Fussoll is ex
pected to make recommenda
tions to the Board August 2,
but it’s anyone's guess what
the recommendations will be.
In HE\V*s revision request,
they asked that the system put
in action a desegregation plan
which ‘‘will completely elimi
nate all vestiges of the dual
school system” throughout the
district by next fall.
William Thomas, acting re
gional director of the office of
Civil Rights at HEW stated that
it is his understanding that Wake
County School officials are cur
rently working on the problem.,
which includes several alter
natives.
Recently the Raleigh Public
Schools have switched to a ra
tio plan of 70-30 and have been
constantly under fire by both
black and white residents for
its decision to stick by the plan.
Speaking on whether the com
munity ratio plan will have to
go Into effect for Wake County
Schools, an unidentified official
said "this will probably not be
necessary if reasons for this
ratio being as it is are prop
erly structured. ’’
Aaron Fussell said, “the staff
will l>e studying housing, trans
portation, finances, and per
sonnel to determine Its plan.
HEW has issued no specific
standards. The racial ratio in
Wake County runs from 10 per
cent in Cary to 56 percent in
Zebulon.

Dear Mrs. Riggsbee;
I would appreciate your help
ing me with my problem if it
can be done. Here’s my story
I have give birth to four nice
and healthy children, but was
not married then. So I decided
to have my tubes tied, not even
thinking that I might get mar
ried someday. Well, now I am
happily married and my husband
does not know that I can’t have
children. I would give anything
to have just one baby for him so
I would not lose him. He loves
me and the children very much.
I had the operation in 1967.
Please let me know if it can be
undone. My children are from
ages 14-6 years old. Back when
I had them, I was getting aid and
I could have gotten all sorts of
birth control free. I just don’t
Know why I had that operation.
I must have been crazy. I am so
worried. Please help. Mrs. J.
Dear Mrs. J.:
I certqinly do not think you
were crazy to have your tubes
tied. No birth control method
works unless it Is used proper
ly. and I suspect you doubted
that you would use birth control
correctly. So it was certainly
logical to have your tubes tied
to keep from having any more
illegitimate children.
I do believe, however, that
>ou made a mistake in not tel
ling your husband before you
married him that you were un
able to have any more children.
Apparently you were afraid he
wouldn’t marr\ von if he knew,
ling your nusnanu before you
married him that you were un
able to have any more children.
Apparently you were afraid he
wouldn’t marry you if he knew,
because now you are afraid you
will lose him if you don’t bear
him a child.
Since you no longer receive
Social Service assistance, I am
sure your husband has his hands
full trying to provide a good
home for you and the four kids.
If you want to try to have your
tubes joined back together, you
will certainly have to tell him
about it. It is a major opera
tion, it is very expensive, and
furthermore, after all the trou
ble and expense and four or five
days in. the hospital to have it
done, it only works about 40 per
cent of the time. This operation
could cost you and your husband
SI,OOO. With four kids to fee c
and clothe, can you really afford
this for something that doesn’t
work for 6 out of 10 wonien whe
have it?
These are some very serious

would certainly have to talk a
bout it with your husband. 1 am
afraid I can't offer you the kind

Dear Mrs. Riggsbee;
My period lias not conn: on

I get a knot in the bottom of my
stomach. What nr. trouble?
I have an appointment at the cli

control pills).
I hope I am not pregnant, be
cause my baby is only seven
months old. Could you please
give me some advice as quick
ie. as possible. 1 also have these
terrible headaches on the top

Mrs. W.
Dear Mrs. W. I cannot tell you
for sure what your problem is,
but I think you should immedi
ately have a pregnancy test done.
Do not wait for your Uicust 13
appoint!-have it done right u
way. If you are pregnant, it is
possible that you would be eli
gible for a legal abortion under
North Carolina law.
If vou are not pregnant, KEEP
USING BIRTH CONTROL: And
be sure to keep youi August 13
appointment. 1 am sure the doc

plete physical examination. Al
so, if you are not pregnant, you
and your husband might be in

about a permanent form of birth
control (such as t tibia ligation
for you or a vasectomy for him)
if you are quite sure that you
have all the children you will e

Please write me if you have
further questions, and please

Member Federal Deposit Tmuranee Corporation J
latlons Committee member and
Edward Carson, president of the
Raleigh Citizens Association
concerning Ligon High’s future.
This week a Ligon student, Miss
Stella Glenn, offers a view
point from those who will t>e
directly affected).
The other day I was
reading an article that
started off like this:
“Save Ligon Controver
sy Draws Little RCA
Support.” I had to read
the heading again be
cause little support
didn’t sound right, not
tor the RCA anyway.
Then all of a sudden a rea
lization hit me. There were a
few things I hadn’t even thought
about. Since the alternate plan
became known only a few Blacks
were doing anything to keep it
from being passed. The plan
made us mad, but still we were
contented to sit back and let the
white man tilan our education.
It came to tne that we as a
Black majority in Raleigh must
take a stand on th:s Issue. We
must realize that Black people
in Raleigh have one last grasp
to reality, W'e have one thing
left. We can call our own, just
one thing we can show Black
pride in, but now that’s being
taken from us.
Now this plan is said to be
sot equal education. I said the
entire thing was just more poli
tical propaganda. You see, It’s
another man’s gain at our loss.
Tills alternate plan estab
llshes a 70-30 ratio. Now how
many Blacks will hold school
offices with this ratio? How will
our opinions even be heard o
ver that of the numerous whites?
Your child had a 50-50 chance
of winning a scholarship at Li
gon. What are his chances now?
You see, no matter what’s done
or said it isn’t what you know,
it’s who you know.
Now up to some 11,318 stu
dents must -be bused. Face it,
that's your child who’ll get up
earlier, ride to school In crowd
ed, hazardous conditions and
then he’ll get home later. But
groove on It, it’s all to bettor
his education.
Now school equipment must be
moved around. Ligon was set up
to be a high school - remem
ber. Parking areas will be im
proved, streets must be wid
ened and unloading areas must
be provided. All of this wasn’t
done when the school remained
Black.
The facts are here, but therl
are my feelings. I’m trying
to say,' Black people ot Raleign
we need your support. You see
this thing goes deeper. Your
pride is at stake and they’re
taking that from you.
Go To Church Sun.
