. TARHEEL ELKS. —ON THE |P| L move^ Alllfg, 1 BY a.j. turner It is interesting to note as we turn back the pages of Elkdom that the Tarheel state has been out in the forefront for some time. As far back as the early twenties when the lodge began to take on growth, the Tarheel state had nine lodges, which was the largest, numerically speak ing, that existed during those yearsi Oklahoma was next with .six. It seemed as though these lodges and growth of the or ganizations got underway short ly after World War I, under the leadership of Exalted Ruler W. F. McMechen, along with sever al very strong and dedicated de puties. One of the things you could appreciate about the Exalted Ruler at that time was that he did not forget brother B.F. Ho ward, the founder and first Ex alted Ruler. During his short term as Exalted Ruler, he e rected a monument on the grave <jf the late B.F. Howard and also put through an order to pay the wife of the late Exalted Ruler Howard $20.00 a month for a five-year period, which was big money and, after all, it was not as much the money as it was the thought behind it. These are some of the thoughts of the foun der, that your writer feels should still exist, moaning real brotherhood. In the words of the late John F. Kennedy, ‘‘Think not what your Lodge can do for you, but rather, what you can do for your Lodge.” I am certain that when more of us take that attitude we will be able to see more growth and stability in all of the lodges. 1 just finished talking with Daughter Bessie Wallace, one of the stalwarts in the state’s wo men’s organization. She stated that things were somewhat at a standstill until the mid-win*'" - conference, on the 13 and 14 of Novemltor, down at the Hob son R. Reynolds National Shrine. Every daughter and Elk in the state should mark that on their calendar, and make It a must, if it is only for one day. Join the crowd and let your Grand Exalted Ruler knows that you appreciate what he has done, and that you are in accord with his “goforward’’program. Around the Capitol City, I am sure I speak for the husbands of '/etas, that they are happy the Blue Revue is over and they can get a little rest for at least two or three months. My “boss lad\” was chairman this year and at times, I thought I was a member. I had thought of suing them for alienation of affection, (smile). The conso lation is that the husbands of the wives who sponsor the De butante Ball will be suffering the same pain the last week hi this month. «t Ur, • TSBES ~ * B4TTERIES Keep Your Car _ ® AUTO ACCESSORIES /yXK 4n T °p S»«pe* © WASHING /C ® litbr»catian |tp J OFFICIAL Licensed *sS" Credit Cards Honored Dunn s’ mo SfSVICMTER See Us For Complete Car Care!

Next Racial Justice Commissio n Meet To Be Held In Wilmington NEW YORK, N.Y.--TheCom mission for Racial Justice of the two-million-member Unit ed Church of Christ announced here recently that It will hold its next meeting in WilmLngton, North Carolina, for a first hand investigation of racial con flict there. The Rev. Charles E. Cobb, executive director of the Com mission, said that other denom inations would be invited to join in holding hearings aimed at finding possible solutions for Wilmington's racial problems. The meeting will probably be held sometime in January. Reporting the unanimous vote of the Commission for Racial Justice to go to Wilmington, Commission Chairman T. Wil lard l air, Miami, Florida, said the meeting would “dramatize the Commission’s support for the Black community against the systematic violence being perpetrated against it by racist forces there.” Violence in the troubled com munity can be expected to in crease because of the activi ties of a new organization cal ling itself the Rights of White People, the Rev. Ben Chavis of Wilmington reported to the Commission for Racial Justice. So far, eight have been killed and 40 wounded, he said. Mr. Chavis is community or ganizer for the North Carolina- Virginia field office of the Com mission and also serves as pastor of the Independent First African Congregation of the Black Judges Are Changing Attitude s O NEW YORK, N. Y.—The at titude of black judges is chang ing from protecting the status quo to eradicating racism in the courtroom and influencing the appointment of more black jud ges, according to an article in the November issue of Essence Magazine. “Until very recently all jud ges, black or white, were re garded as a select body who were assigned to the task of protecting the status quo,” the article says. “For the black judge, too often that meant ‘keeping the niggers in line.' This prevailing attitude was often attributed to the fact that there were so few black jud ges, that they did not feel any real allegiance or identifica tion with the average black man.” Today, many black judges are part of the black community and are calling “upon their know ledge of our social conditions and behavior patterns that are not considered by the law when they are rendering judgments In court,” according to Marquita Pool, author of the article and assistant director of communi cations at the United Negro College Fund in New York City. Less than two percent of all judges in the U. S. today are black -- only 289 out of about 20,000, says Mrs. Pool. She adds that “there are no black judges on the Federal bench in the South,” although blacks make up more than 50 per cent PREGNANCY PLANNING AND HEALTH BY GLORIA RIGGSBEE Dear Gloria: I am 17, a Junior in high school and I’m worried because I think I have Gonorrhea, but I don’t know much about the disease, so I’m not sure I have it. W hat are the signs of Gonorrhea'? On Saturday I felt sore around the vaginal area. Everytirne I go t o the bathroom it hurts and 1 al sii have a yellowish discharge. Also, I itch almost all the time. 1 almost had Intercourse with a boy, but I did!*.'*’ Can you get the disease w ithout having inter course? I want to go to a clinic. W ill the? be able to tell me if I have gonorrhea or not? Do your pa rents have to know anything a bout this? I’m really scared, but lam not going to see a doctor until you tell me what to do. Miss R. P. Dear Miss P.: I am very glad you decided to write. Os course, lam not a doc tor and cannot tell you whether or not you have Gonorrhea. However, I can tel! you the symptoms of the disease: GONORRHEA 1. Pain in the urethra; par ticularly pain during urination. 3. A milky or watery discharge from the urethral opening. This discharge i s h i g h 1 y infectious and can carry infection to the eyes or throat ifyo u are not careful. 3. General soreness in the genital region, 4. An urge to urinate often. My advice to you is to see a doctor Inm dlately soyoucan find out what you do have and quit worrying, T here is a very efficient health department in your town, whose services are free. Call ihetn and tell them that you have a vaginal infec tion that you would like checked Black Messiah In Wilmington, a church founded by and for voung people. The Klan-style ROWP led by a former Marine, Leroy Gibson, has repeatedly threatened to kill every Black person in Wilming ton “to insure what they rail law and order for white people, ’’ Mr. Chavis said. “ROWP has proudly dis played its arsenal to demon strate that whites are prepared to do whatever is necessary to maintain the status quo,” Mr. Chavis said. “An ROWE spokesman admitted that a home-made Gatling gun dis covered in a recent state police raid was designed ‘to commit mass death.’ ” The racial trouble in Wil mington surfaced early this year ui the high school when a request by Black students for a special observance of Martin Luther King’s birthday was not granted and students were sus pended because of a sit-in. After three days of turmoil, National Guard troops were cal led in. Their attack centered on the Gregory Congregational United Church of Christ which students were using as head quarters. At that time the Executive Council of the United Church of Christ requested United Church of Christ executives, the Com mission for Racial Justice and Southern Conference of the denomination to take action for “the freedom, safety and wel fare of Gregory Church and of the population in one south ern state -- Mississippi. The article quotes black Jud ge George W, Crockett of De troit’s Recorders Court as say ing, “the battleground, today, is in the trial courts; because it is in these tribunals that legally approved racism and classism flourishes in its most virulent form, I don’t think black judges are generally go ing to feel themselves bound by prior precedents, when those precedents stand in the way of what the current majority thinks the common law should lx? in this country.” Judge Crockett is president of the National Bar Association, Mrs. Pool says judges in Detroit and Chicago have dis missed cases against defen dants when the evidence against them has been obtained by the use of police brutality. A black judge in New York re cently ruled that a woman is not an unfit mother because she lives with a man who is not her legal husband. The Essence article says about 135 black judges recently formed the Judicial Council of the National Bar Assn., pledg ing to eradicate racial and class bias from all aspects of the judicial process, remove cri minal case backlogs, exert in fluence to get more black jud ges appointed, etc. Essence calls itself “the ma gazine for today’s black wo man.’’ immediately . They will give you an appointment. Also, they will not tell your parents or any one else. W hether or not you have Gon orrhea, it is important that you find out for sure and get medi cal attention for whatever infec tion you do have. Do not engage i n a n y sexual act i v i t y before seeing the people at the health department. If it is Gonorrhea, it can be spread from one per son to another by contact v.itn the infected area. Intercourse does not have to take place. * * * Dear Mrs. Riggsbee: I guess you could call me one of those “wondering girls.” I have a question that has been begging me for quite a while. I would ask my mama, but I know she’d be very shocked and might get the wrong idea, which there is no need for her to get, Mrs. Riggsbee, if a girl lets a boy feel of her breasts, will they get larger and fuller? Does feeling of them have any effects whatsoever? Pleaseyinswer me, Mrs, Riggsbee. I hope you haven't formed an opinion of me lie cause of the question. Actually, I’m a very honest, Christian girl. D. p. Dear D,; Thank you for writing. Y’ou are wise to try to find out the truth about tilings instead of listening to rumors. The answer to your question is “No.” “Feeling of” a girl’s breast, either by herself or someone else, does NOT make thorn get any larger or’ fuller. * * * Address letters and requests for booklets to: Mrs. Gloria Riggsbee, 214 Cameron Avenue, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27314. the people of Wilmington.” An investigative team named by the United Church met with students and the Mayor of Wil mington and with corporations in the area. Later a tempo rary injunction was issued pre venting representatives of the Commission from working in the community. The current flare-up of the smouldering situation was il lustrated, Mr. Chavis reported, by the beating and arrest of his assistant pastor the Rev. Roderick Kirby, by eight police men as he protested the treat ment of a 12-year-old youth by police officers. “Mr. Kirby has been sen tenced to 12 months in jail despite the fact that six wit nesses testified that police at tacked him. The verdict is being appealed,” Mr. Chavis said, “The Black community has refused to bow down to threats and intimidation,” he declared. “It has developed a survival campaign to counter the at tacks of the vigilantes who ride through (he Black community with guns hanging out of their car windows. “Wilmington has seen a new Black man who is determined to be free. Even if the onlv alternative- is death, the Blacks in Wilmington will fight on to overcome the racism that has controlled everything there for centuries,” ho told the United Church Comrnission. The Commission for Racial Justice is the agency of the United Church of Christ charg ed with responsibility for mobi lizing church resources to aid in the struggle of Blacks and other minorities for civil rights, fair employment, hous ing and education. EMBITTERED INMATE-Boston: Albert Bradford, 37, is an ex-convict helping reshape other’s lives at the Joint Center on Warred Avenue, at the Malcolm X Foundation on Centre Street and on the streets of Roxbury, but that new life may be over soon, with Bradford again becoming an emittered inmate in a prison in Missouri.

Dr. Othow Expounds On Garvey “The basis for Marcus Gar vey’s race philosophy was Afri ca--the home of millions of slaves who became the domi nant labor force on the plan tations of the new world,” said Dr. Helen Chavis Othow, as sociate professor of English, Saint Augustine’s College. Dr. Othow spoke on the subject, “The Dynamics of Pan Afri canism” at the college on Oct. 28, She said that to Garvey the Black man in Africa, the Caribbean, and the United States was in dire need of a spiritual and physical renewal. THE CAROLINIAN RALEIGH, N. C., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6. 1971 This renewal would be rea lized through the universal ac tion and cooperation of the black masses. In spite of their con tribution to the New World Ci vilization, the Black man has been systematically denied his national identity and self-res pect. The Pan African move ment is a powerful organization dedicated to Black liberation. Kwame Nkrumah, former premier of Ghana, bases his political and economic philoso - phy on the right of the Black nations to independence and autonomy. The path to freedom is not merely a recognition of the weakened state of exist ence, it is the recognition of a need which stimulates the act of wi 1 l--self-dotonriuation. The main way to assert the iden tity of the African Personality is to meet the western world on its own terms through power. A united Africa would demand attention and respect in the international arena. Quoting a statement in the Malcolm X Liberation Univer sity Bulletin, she said, “Our ideology must reflect the reali ties of our existence as a peo ple wherever we are.in the world. We must not speak of housing unless we speak of skills. We must not speak of opportunity without speaking of determination. We must not speak of freedom unless we speak of struggle. We must not speak of any of these things without, speaking of nationhood and work,” We’ve come o bug way.,. §& k Bonking has come a long way since the horse and buggy.
