MEEKINS, Secretary-Treasurer VoL XIX Manteo, N. C., Friday, January 1, 1954 No. 27 SEGREGATION. Cases are before the United States Supreme Court rel ative to segregation in the public schools, which has be come a burning issue since the meddlers invaded the South to set fires. We have given space in this issue to public ex pressions on this vital subject that may throw some light on what may become our most acute problem when the Su preme Court shall have delivered itself of another political bomb shell. Abolition of segregation in the public schools among children would tend in time to wipe out all racial distinction and fraternization and intermarriage would then follow for a people that no longer could tell white from black. Then we would have what the late Theodore G. Bilbo called the mon grelization of the white race in the Deep South. A people once proud of their ancestry would then be ashamed of their descendants. Racial integrity is something that should be as sacred to the black race as to the white, and only misguided fools would promote a miscegenation that even God must have abhorred when He separated the blacks from the whites and the reds from the yellows. Apparently there are pink-tinted preachers and teach ers sufficiently tainted by the left-wing advocates of racial social equality, who would like to destroy segregation in our schools and churches as one more step toward Commu nism. If they do it in Mississippi they will have to swim rivers of blood. Wouldn’t you think these zealots would read the story of Reconstruction in the Deep South and call it quits ? All five suits in the Supreme Court were instigated by the Association for the Advancement of Colored People, a hate promoting outfit that should long since have been run out of the country.—(|From the Gulfport, Miss., Guide).

PATRICK (Continued from Page One) says about him: Each afternoon at five the Chapel carillons fill the air with music. Usually manipulating the multisized bells is Roman Luther Patrick, student carilonneur and first year student in the medical school. R. L. (as everyone calls him) began his musical career at the age of eight when he began play ing the piano. The clarinet was next on his musical agenda, and he. spent two summers in the Transylvania Music Camp work ing with his woodwind. His ability on the ivory key board brought him to the atten tion of Miss Mildred Hendrix, who plays the carillons as well as the Chapel organ. Miss Hen drix suggested that he try the Chapel carillons. After working with Anton Brees, who plays at the Singing Tower in Florida in the winter and Duke in the sum mer, Patrick became student carillonneur, which position he has retained until now. When asked how it felt to play the carillons, he said, “It seems funny that you can make such a big sound.” The keyboard for the set is located beneath the bells and when they start work ing it can be rather noisy. The job of carillonneur is rare in the field of music. All caril lonneurs arrange their own mu sic written for the carillons. The carillon set consists of 50 bells ranging from ten to 11,200 pounds in weight. Cast in Eng land, they were originally pur chased for $60,000 in the depres sion days. A fair estimate of their present worth might be $200,000. folk, and Mr .and Mrs. Seldon Francis and children, Nelda and Leonard, of Manteo. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Gibbs and sons, Billie and C.
