The Illinois times. (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-19??, 1960-05-23

Noteworthy items are complimentary,
others are not, but the fact remains
that our people in some way should
know the facts. We need a news
paper in our efforts to unite our
group in our struggle for freedom.
THE ILLINOIS TIMES can be
that voice, that printed page.
that newspaper we need so desper-
akely. The success of such an effort
depends upon the populace. We
should make it what we want it to be
and support it with paid subscription.
The Pastors Alliance, in full ac-
cord, and with the cooperation of the
editor, are planning campaign in
all our cooperating churches, to get
each of our families to pay for
subscription to the ILLINOIS TIMES.
We hope to increase the local
circulation to the extent that it will
cover our group. This program is
also related to our effort to unite
our people in common effort. By
our publication of pertinent facts,
plans and programs, we hope TO
better unite our group, for somehow,
we must have unity in our efforts.
Many of our friends have expressed
their admiration for such a move as
this and they also are ready to help
contribute worthwhile articles for
publication and help to increase the
circulation, that many of our friends
may know of our problems, our
struggles and our achievements.
THE MINISTER'S NOTE
TO OUR CITIZENS
The North End Pastol whole
heartedly endorse the idea of all of
our people attending the City Council
meetings. These meetings are open
to the pubic and many things which
are being discussed now concern you
directly. Urban renewal is in the
talking and preliminary planning stage
now. We should and must attend to
get accurate information.
THE DIRECTED BUYING POWER
The Northeast End Pastors ALI
ance of Champaign Urbana have
been concerned about the problem
of more and better job opportunities
for our people. AS a resule of this
concern, and with much prayer and
discussion, we encouraged our people
to lend US their buying power for an
experiment. We felt that our people
had great purchasing power that
could be used to our advantage, if
we could concentrate it in one place
at one time. This is why we asked
you to do your grocery shopping at
kroger's in the Country Fair Shop
ping Center on the weekend of April
9Th, 1860.
THE REPORT
We are pleased to report at this
date, April e, 1860, we have sales
slips from four "a churches. These
sales slips from Kroger's total
S3.l84,90. We have as yet four "a
other churches who have not reported.
We of the Pastors are pleased with
this effort and feel that we have a
following and we are encouraged to
throw our selves into the fight to
create better opportunities for our
people.
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
We appreciate your efforts and we
want to thank each and every one
who worked with US, but we must
go on. Just doing this once, in one
place will not suffice. This is the
question we are asking: Many bust
ness places refuse to hire us, except
in the stereotyped, mental jobs. Why
should we continue to buy, continue
TO spend our money in a business
place that refuses to hire us, except

The MINISTERS AND THE
NEGRO BUSINESS MAN

THE MINISTERS AND THE
NEGRO BUSINESS MAN
Your pastors are concerned about
many things in this fight for freedom.
Among our concerns.is the plight of
the Negro business man. We are
planning to try to arrange a meeting,
wherein our men in business will
meet with the ministers.
We feel that we have mutual
interests, and common problems, and
if we are able to arrange conference.
we may explore our aims, correlate
our methods and work together to
help each other and our total COM
muhity.
We, as ministers, have seen publ
cations and records in other cities
wherein pastors and businessmen
have been able to work together on
certain civic problems. This helps to
build a better working force. in our
efforts to gain full freedom. Also
it may be very helpful to unite our
people in some common force.
We are hoping for good response
to this idea, and we assure our
businessmen that we have no desire to
try to tell them how to run their
business or to dictate or criticize any
of their policies.
AS postscript, we might add that
we have the utmost admiration for
our men in business Most of them
are group of courageous men and
women who are trying to make a
decent living and are sterling citizens.
We are also aware of the great
contributions they have made and are
making to our church life.
THE MINISTERS AND THE
PROBLEMS OF YOUTH
We are thinking in terms of tho
cold, hard facts. Some of these
facts many of US dislike, but they
remain facts. AS pastors, we have
read in our newspapers so often that
one or some of our young people
have gotten into leagal difficulty.
1t is our purpose in the near
future, to present ourselves to the
court as friend of the Court. or
as a Big Brother, in an effort TO
convince the youth in trouble that
ne or she has friend. We are con-
Nnced that in many instances MANY
OF our youth face their legal Difficult
ties all alone and would welcome
the counsel and assistance of some
one who would show an interest in
them. We feel this is difinite past
OF our work, for if in this project we
can rescue one young person and
save him or her from a life of crime.
we have our reward.
In other groups, there are active
organizations whose sole purpose is
confined to this issue. Some of them
have ceased to function, because
they could not get enough interested
adults to give the time and fort
necessary TO make this program
effective. Others involved in such
a program have a record of good
success and continuity. We propose.
even in our already crowded sche-
dulles, to keep this program alive,
because of its tremendous importance
our young people are a great part of
our hope for tomorrow and we must
help each one of them to realize this
and to take advantage of the opnor-
tunitles of the day.
THE MINISTER'S SPEAK
ABOUT THE ILLINOIS TIMES
We feel that we need a newspaper
All of us know that our newspaper
and magazines give us an opportunity
to know and publicize many things
that otherwise we would not know.
In many cities of sizAble Negro
population, we have our own news

Is Sympathetic

A District woman, owner of
seven dogs and two cats, found
a sympathetic prosecutor in
Municipal Court yesterday.
Miss Elizabeth johnson of
1888 Prout street Sc. was sum-
moned to Assistant Corporation
Counsel Clark Kings Office on
the complaints of two neighbors
who said the animals were
noisy and smelly.
How many others live on
your block?" Mr.. King asked.
Nearly co." Miss johnson
answered.
That means So others don't
seem to mind" Mr.. King told
the complaining neighbors.
Il realize l have too many
animals, but I love each one, "
Miss johnson said.
WELL" Mr.. King said philo-
sophically, some people like
dogs, others like roses"
He then sent Miss johnson
who picks up homeless ami
mails and cares for them-home
with a suggestion that she give
away three dogs. But he took
no legal action.

Now it will be known off,
cially as Wynne, Md, and not
Potomac View.
Wynne is the new official
name given a settlement in
st. Marys County on Smith
Creek near its junction with
the Potomac River.
The name change was de-
cided 0y the Geographic

ment of Interior. Some time
ago the Board had decided on
the name Potomac View.
But now that name is given
to a settlement along the Po-
tomac River about l mile
southwest of Issue in Charles
County.
The board, which works for
uniformity in names and elm
ination of duplication and mis-
SpellingS. also decided on the
name Moll Dyers Run for a
stream in st. Marys County.
This stream. which flows
westward into Breton Bay
about 2 miles south of Leonard
town, has been variously
known as Moldier Greek,
Moldier Run and Mouldry Run.
