It was explained that the $18
million bond referendum vote
for the Civic Center had as its
main purposes to create civic
pride, meet the needs of
downtown Raleigh, improve
the quality of life for area
residents.
The Center, if approved,
would be ideal for sport events,
such as boating shows,
basketball or other usages in a
place which would not need as
much space as to require the
renting of either Memorial
Auditorium or Reynolds Coli
seum. This is a city-wide
project. It is also near the
Southside area and the
expected high-rise apartments
could be served by it.
“It would be ideal for
Raleigh's junior and senior
high school events, which
require more space than the
school auditoriums," stated
one member of the body.
Fourteen speaking engage
ments were announced for the
month of October
Another advantage of the
Civic Center is that it could be
used by small groups for a
closed meeting, by pulling a
partition or as much as 5,000
persons, depending on the
particular need.
The Center is expected to be
located behind the Sir Waller
Hotel, in an area yet to be
completly decided upon.

NEW YORK • The National

called upon its nationwide
network of local units to
contribute to a $300,000
emergency fund "to be applied
toward the costs of protecting
Negroes during the present

The call went out to officers
of the association's 1,700 local
units over the signature of Roy
Wilkins, the organization’s
veteran executive director, on
Sept. 24. following the adoption
of a resolution authorizing the
establishment of an “Emer

The resolution, passed by the
delegates to the 64th NAACP

CHICAGO, Ill. - Concerned by
reduced federal funding of the
pecial Milk Program for
Children and the National
School Lunch Program, the
National PTA has asked its
more than 8 million members
to take immediate action
urging Congress to increase
funds for these programs.
Specifically, the PTA wants
the House of Representatives
to restore the funds cut from
the Special Milk Program and
Congress to follow closely what
is happening to the School
Lunch Program.
Mrs. Grace Baisinger, coor
dinator of legislative activity
for the National PTA. will
testify at the hearings on the
total school lunch and milk
programs which will be held
this fall before the Senate
Select Committee on Nutrition
and Human * Needs. Mrs.
Baisinger has urged PTA
members to reinforce her
testimony with letters to
senators and representatives.
In explaining PTA’s concern,
Mrs Baisinger said that
revised regulations for the
Special Milk Program adjust
expenditures to the level of $25
million. This adjustment is a
result of the action of the House
of Representatives which re
duced fiscal year 1974 appro
priations from the 1973 level of
$97,133 million - the amount
approved by the Senate for
1974. Htnvever. he said, the
differences in the amounts
appropriated by the House and
Senate must be worked out in
conference.
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture has advised school
districts that expenditures
must be adjusted to the level of
$25 million. Because of the
reduced funds available, the
Special Milk Program would
now be available only to
schools that do not have food
services for attending children.
Jesse Thurman Fowler,
Jr., 25, reportedly heard the
ominous words, “You must
die in the gas chamber on
^Friday) November 30.”
Fowler was sentenced to
death for the “rip-off’
(killing) of John Griffin. 36,
of 906 Cannister Street,
after a jury in Wake
Superior Court, found him
guilty of first-degree mur
der last Thursday. The
shooting occurred on Sun
day, J»°“ 1. 1973.
Fowler ol IBl j Ligou to
the Method section ot the city,
was found guilty after Griffin
was shot once with a .38 calibre
pistol during an argument on
the sidewalk at Branch Street
(Walnut Terrace).

emotion as Superior Court
