THE OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT
DESPITE A FEW SHADOWS
BIZ VICTOR MEEKINS

Tomorrow marks the end of
1860. For most of us it has been
a good year, and its end comes
admist many signs of better
year ahead. But there have been
many incidents during the year
now ending, that tend to bring
encouragement and despair. There
are many of those we love and
who mean so much to our commu-
nifty who have suffered greatly
from unexpected tragedy here at
the season that should mean more
than all other seasons to all of
us.
Our hearts are wrung cruelty,
and all the more so when tragedy
comes to friends during this sea-
son of the year. We find dismay
in our helplessness to say or do
things that might ease their bur-
den of grief.
The Christmas season is all the
more wonderful and inspiring be-
cause it brings cheer at a time
when SO much of the earth ap-
pears naked and dead. Trees and
grass are brown and sere and
nearly all of which was so much
alive with movement and color
through most of the year is now
barren and lifeless. But there are
compensations. Life and love
pulses through the human heart
as at no other time. There is the
unequalled joy that comes from
families united, the reunion of old
friends, the planning for the year
to come.
This season brings promise of
resurrection. Although days are
colder and nights grew longer in
increasing degree for many weeks
before, we now know that the
tide has turned, and every day
grows longer, for over week
now, our days have been increas-
ing in length.
1t is SAID, sometimes with levi
ty that Christmas eve is the
shortest night in the year because
little folks go late to bed, and get
up rather early next day. But we
always need a long day on Deem
Der 25th for all of its minutes
are happy ones; they are the most
glorious of the whole year.
None are more fortunate than
those of US who have all the mem
beers of our families home with
The coastland times with which is combined the pilot and herald of Belhaven and Swan Quarter. [volume] (Manteo, N.C.) 1959-1973, 1960-12-30

us at this season, and for US it
IS wonderful time indeed. Bless
ed are those who have children to
return home at this season to
bring joy and comfort. 1t is a
time when everyone has reason
to surrender to a spirit of thank
fitness. 1t is a time to encourage
redemption and a re-dedication
to high purpose.
l like to think that this has
been most momentous Christmas
season for the North Carolina
Coastland. 1t will long be remem-
bered as the Eve of what offers
us the most promising and fruit
full year in our collection. 1t is
time for the combined wisdom of
all to be united. 1t is a time for
all people to unite in pulling their
full weight for progress. 1t is
time to frown upon those who u.s.
ually throw their weight around
instead. ......
AS 1 see it, the year 1861 looms
up as one replete with golden OPP
portunities for all our people if
it is lived with high purpose and
noble principles. We should more
jealousy than ever, guard our re-
sources against the inroads of the
freeloaders, and divert our surplus
to the uplift of the needy. We
should ruthlessly override the
forces of greed, eliminate the
drone, and with righteous indigna-
ton battle greed and selfishness
on every hand.
It is fortunate indeed for us
that our forbears so lived as to
win the favor of important peo-
|ple throughout this state and
further. These friends have lib
orally assisted this Coastland to
60 ahead. The aid of those SO Oft
en- referred to as outsiders" has
enabled our coastland to make
more progress, all things being
considered than has favored any
other section of like economic
status in our state. In some re-
spects we keep up with modern
trends in the nation. Violent
deaths came to % during the
Christmas week end in North
Carolina and II of these were
traffic deaths. We have not learn
ed to sensibly handle the power
in our hands.
This has been a wonderful
Christmas season to so many Of
US who are privileged to live our
youth over again through the de-
light that radiates from happy
children and grandchildren. Great
happiness has prevailed this sea-
son because of families reunited
after lengthy separations. For
many families, it has been the
happiest Christmas ever.
What wonderful experience to
view the world at Christmas
through a child's eyes. The hori-
ION and the sky are close up;
dreams loom largely, and fulfill
ment seems not far away. The
assurance of ones elders is con-
vincing to little folks and there
is always sublime faith that all
dreams will come true because old
folks say so.
We can assure all that each and
every Christmas will be a happy
one if we desire it. Let us assure
our own happiness by bringing
happiness to others. Great joy can
be spread by visiting the sick and
the shut-ins. So many older peo-
pie are neglected by the children
they have reared and by others
who are near and dear to them;
they must endure weary and emp
ty days in boarding homes, sell
dom seeing those they wish most
to see, and sometime being re-
membered by none of those whose
presence is most essential for COM
fort and solace.

The oldest land grant col
lege for Negroes in the South
is Alcorn AIM College at Lor-

Established in 1871, it was
authorized by the first legisla-
ture controlled by the Negroes
and the newly organized party
supported by Negro troops of
the U. S. Army.
The administration of the day
considered the college as a part
of the University of Mississippi,
and provided an annual appro-
priation of $4,000 each for a
period of ten years. Thus the
policy of separate universities
for the races was established.
