/"S TARHEEL V ELKS A | .. "--W ON THE SNL ■ m>VE'^ % ‘lflUk i N BY. A. J. Turner * & i Publicity Director It was very pleasing to those who had an opportunity to see the more than two-hundred youngsters, who are picked up by the Welfare Department, en joying themselves at the an nual Christmas party, sponsor ed by the local Elks at the Home, 619 East Davie Street. The dinner for the aged and the Christmas Party for the kids have been two of the pet pro jects for the local Elks for a number of years. Fidelity Lodge , #277, met in their regular meeting last Wednesday night. It was sup posed to have been election night, but due to the fact the deputy was unable to attend, the election was put off until ihe sth of January. Some of the annual reports were read and others were put off until the January meeting. The report from the Trustee Board, read >by Bro. Harold McClain was one of the best reports ever given by any committee, according to the record. Brother Mc- Clain did not only give a detailed report on what the; had done, but gave a fine projection on things they are planning for the lodge in the future. We are hoping that the lodges over the state will take on new life, beginning ’ with the new year, and continue to improve the image of their beloved or ganization. Those of us ■ who are old enough to remember the great days of the late J. Finley Wil son and also the late Robert J. (Bob) Johnson, both of whom made wonderful contributions to Elkdom, but you realize we cannot afford to stand still, we kmust continue our go forward program and not become stag nant. Under the present lead ership of our beloved Hobson R. Reynolds, we are certain that ke are headed in the right ■rection. |p We are still curious as to r Greet Blacks In History BY MISS ELLA L. JACKSON Each week, we shall pre sent tothe public some informa tion concerning great blacks in American His tory and World History. You j may know about ‘ some of these personalities , |||ijr- "111 but others you JUSL s may never have been informed abojjt Miss Jackson Here is our tenth personalitv; HENRY OSSIAN FLIPPER (1856-1940, Scholar, Author, Engineer, Soldier and Business man) Henry O. Flipper rose from slavery to become the first black American to graduate from the U. S. Military Academy at West Point, located in S. E. New York. He was at times a scholar, a soldier, an author, an engineer \ and a businessman. His long and full life accomplishments was a source of hope- to the black American of his day. Flipper was born in Thomas ville, Georgia. He was owned by a slave dealer, Ephraim Ponder. Ponder took his household to At lanta, where one of his slaves tutored Henry. After the Civil War, he attended classes in the American ’ Missionary Associ ation’s schools, and new ly found ed Atlanta University in 1869. In 1872, a sympathetic Con gressman granted Flipper an ap pointment to West Point. He was then offered $5,000 to forfeit, but he refused. At the Academy, Flipper studied engineering and was a good student even though he was taunted by his fellow PREGNANCY PLANNING AND HEALTH BY GLORIA RIGGSBEE Dear Gloria: I had a baby when I was sixteen, but now I am eigh teen. The question is can a girl get pregnant by dreaming she is having sex with the boy she loves? I don't have sex very often. I don't want to get pregnant again. Too Young to Know About Sex Pear Too Young: Sexual Intercourse CAUSES BABIES. Only sexual Intercourse-—nothing else. It only takes ONE intercourse to cause a baby to start to grow inside you. It doesn’t matter that you don’t have sex very often. ONCE IS ENOUGH TO C.ET PREGNANT. If you don’t want to get preg nant, you have two choices: jv (!) don’t have sexual relations ” until you’re ready to get preg nant again, or £2) use a proper method of birth control EVERY TIME you have sex. The best methods of birth control--the birth control pills and the IUD ear: he obtained from most health departments free of charge. Even if you are not the changes made in the South ern School Systems, known as integration, but seem more to be absorbtton as to why out of some two-hundred black secon dary principals, a few years ago, with a number of them holding their master’s degrees and above, there are less than a dozen in the state at present and less than six secondary schools that were known as Black high schools are left. This integration pattern of "schools has certainly played havoc to Blacks and especially principals. Then take a look at the Black students who have been expelled from school. I think it would pay us all to begin thinki g a litth about the people we put in office in 1972, I am happy to inform our readers that Spurgeon Fields, Sr., and also C, A. (Doll) Hay wood are both getting along fine now. Mr; Fields has returned home after an operation and Mr. Haywpod is hopeful of being home for Christmas. I talked to both of them by phone Thurs day and theywere inhighspirits and grateful to their many friends for thinking about them during their illnesses. I saw my friend Charlie Brown in the barber shop the other day and he is now doing some work for the Wake County Welfare Department, so the Meadowbrook golfers will have , to make other arrangements for t their food. Shaw and St. Augus- ( tine’s are still doing their thing in basketball. You can tell we are approach ing the holiday season, the old Raleighites are beginning to come in. Lemuel (Bro.) De lany and his mother, Mrs. Julia B. Delany, came In Friday and I am sure there are others whom 1 haven’t seem. Merry Christmas and a Happy- New Year to my readers. See you next week. white cadets. In 1877, Lt. Flipper became the first black graduate of West Point. His first assignment was with the famous 10th U. S. Ca valry Regiment. In 1886, he left the Army with a distinguished record, and worked as a Deputy Mineral Surveyor with the Alter Land Company in Nogales, Ari zona. From 1890 to 1901 he worked for the Justice Department as a Claims Examiner and he com piled and translated the Spanish and Mexican land laws. Flipper left government ser vice in 1905 to become a Resi dent Engineer of an American sil ver mining company in Mexico, ‘ but the 1912 revolution forced it to close. He left Mexico and represented the company in Texas and was their link for ! their properties in Mexico. In 1919, he worked with the Senate Sub-Committee to investi gate the effects of the Mexican revolution. He became Assistant Secretary of the Interior in 19- 22. He resigned his Cabinet post to work in South America for a New York oil company until the Depression in 1930 suspended its operations. When Flipper became 74 years old, he moved to Atlanta, Ga,, where he lived with his brother, devoting his time to writing and study until his death on Mav 3, 1940. THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: "The love of humanity is the whole of morality. This Is Good ness, this is Humanism, this is Social Conscience.” - J. William Lloyd married, most health depart ments will offer you free birth control services, particularly since you’ve already had one child. If you don't want to go to the health department , go to a drugstore and buy birth control foam. Read the directions care fully and use it EVERY TIME you have sex. Also, ask your boyfriend to use condoms (rub bers) EVERY TIME you have sex. If you use foam arid your boyfriend uses condoms (rubbers), you will be quite well protected from pregnancy. Everyone has a choice a bout “when" and “if" to have babies IF they use birth control correctly. Children are very special people and they deserve love and time and planning. I suggest you think all of this over very carefully. I think you'll, find that if you wait, until you’re married to have another baby, so you and your husband can both take car® of it, you and your children will have a much better chance Ln life. Santa, since we all love mu sic, please send to Arthur Dove and Rufus Lyles some of the latest juke boxes and more of the best spots to place them. •Mr. Claus’ please send to Web ster’s Takehome many more hungry people. Please Santa don’t forget Ca pital City, Ross Fowlers’Frank Cumbo’s, High’s, Macon’s, White's, Browining's, Hicks’, Halls, Market Barber Shops just to name a few. They’d love for you to bring some Monday, Tuesday, and Thurs day customers too. Santa please don’t forget my dear friend, Mr. Lawrence Lindsey, District Manger of Winston Mutual Life Insurance. He was modest in his request: Six-one million dollar proceed table ordinary salesman, one dozen industrial agents with an increase assured at two hun dred dollars each. Lawrence would probably never stop smil ing, if you would do that. He heard that you had them in your pack. In case you think he is selfish he wouldn’t mind sharing two of the industrials with his friend, Mr. Sherman Parham, district manager of North Carolina Mutual. Santa, send Brother Ed Hail another birthday. Make an ear ly delivery, even if it comes on December 23rd. Santa, send the managing editor of the CAROLINIAN, Mr. Charles R.

Santa, at the churches * * * Dear Mrs. Rigsbee: My girl frind is taking birth control pills and she says she can get them for me, too, if I want. I believe I have read in your column that there is more than one kind of pill. Will you print which one is best. Thank vou. E. Dear E.: The only kind of birth control pill anyone whould take is the one prescribed to her by a doc tor after he has examined her. NEVER take any kind of medi cation that has been prescribed for someone else. Some women should not take birth control pills and only a doctor can say which type is right for you. You say your friend can get pills for you.. Why get them illegally? Most health depart ments offer birth control pills free of charge. Many health departments also offer family planning services totheunmar ried. So there is no need to take chances either with your health or with the law. I suggest you check with your doctor or the local health de partment or the local family planning clinic. * * * Dear Readers: Please include- your name and address on all correspon dence to this column.
