You can budget without being a
bookkeeper. All that is needed is a
little common sense and nine enve-
lopes (marked Food, Clothing,
Rent, Operating Expenses, Health,
Savings - Insurance, Educational
and Recreation, Church and/or
Charity, and Miscellaneous).
On payday put the amount you
think you need to cover each of
these expenses in the proper enve-
lope. Keep this up for several pay
days, trying to use the money in
each envelope wisely.
At the end OF a month or so, ex-
anime your budget" You'll prob
ably find that you have money left
over in some envelopes, while others
are empty.
This will tell you where you need
more or can get along with less or
where you need to spend more
wisely. Adjust the amounts you
need to place in each envelope &C
eordingiy.
Even If you pay by check, the
same system viii work except that

PILGRIM BAPTIST

Indictment weather did not deter
a near capacity gathering of wor-
shippers seeking spiritual guild
ance at Pilgrim Baptist on Sun
day. March 5th. The ordinances of
baptism were administered to
Messrs. Allen L. Clark and Rob
ert G. Lewis.
Master John Barker narrated
the children's story. He used the
story of a little girls stinginess
to develop the idea that there is
nothing that can be compared
| with giving to God
"a Magnificent Concern" was
the subject of the sermon eloquent
ly developed by DR.. Massey. De-
parting from the conventional for
mat, he chose to interpretatively
present the ]. B. Phillips transla-
ton of Paul's second letter to the
church at Corinth. The minister
spoke primarily from the 9Th
chapter of Corinth- This passage
of scripture is concerned with the
idea of giving God His share. God
only accepts that which Is will
ingly given. BE willing to give as
much as you can. That Is what God
accepts. Gods rewards are as
bountiful as Is the gift. Poor
sowing means a poor harvest; a
generous sowing means a gener-
Gus harvest"
In the process of developing his
message, DR.. Massey utilized two
stories. A man was complaining
about giving. "All that church
knows and wants is for you to
give! give! give! To which his
pastor replied Thank you! That
is the best definition of Christian
ity I've heard.
The second story concerned a
man in Tennessee who had just
been converted to Christ.
Upon his return home he began
talking with his wife (who was
a good church worker) about his
Intentions now that he was a

Rebel Myths On
confederacY Blocks
Dixie Infeqrofion

San Francisco CAMP - The
Confederate myth that the South
loves and seem to be getting the
rest of the nation to accept, furn-
ishes a physiological barrier to
desegregation," declared DR.. L. D.
Reddick here last Sunday in a dis
cussion Of the nations centennial
celebration Of the American Civil
War.
DR.. Reddick, who is professor Of
History at Coppin State Teachers
College and a member Of the
American Historical Association,
indicated that over 81 billion is
being spent throughout the nation
on the 100th-year celebration of
the War Between the States.
He said that most Of this money
is wasted and that much harm is
being done to national unity and
progressive ideas, for the South is
gaining wide acceptance of what
it looks upon as a glorious Lost
Cause.
Confederate flags, pag ants,
songs, and such organizations as
the Daughters of the Confederacy
and its junior branch, the Children
of the Confederacy, pictures and
monuments to Confederate heroes
all serve to perpetuate a false
image of history and strengthen
the old ante-bellum ideals of white
supremacy and Negro inferiority
he continued.
Neither do the present-day cele-
brations tell the truth about the
Negro as soldiers, seamen anC
guides to Union troops. In the
words of President Lincoln, these
Negroes made the difference be-
tween victory and defeat.
DR.. Reddick pointed out that

itself on being The cradle of the
Confederacy," has had a week.

On Lumumbo

Like a good many white
Americans, US. Negroes are
apt to be puzzled by the swiftly
moving events in the Congo.
There's a complete confusion
on who's right and who's wrong
in the Congo" says Thurgood
Marshall, special counsel to the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People.
"Tumumba has added to the con-
fusion. The basic belief Is that
he was playing with the Commun-
lists. But they GUS. Negroes) don't
like that fellow (Kasavubu) who's
playing with the Belgians. Every
one Is against killing, and killing
Lumumba seemed unnecessary"
But regardless Of who Is right
or who Is wrong many US. Ne
groes view the Congo as simply
another example Of oppression Of
their race.
It's injustice: "Basically," says
Ralph Metcalfe, former Olympic
track star who is now a Chicago
alderman, they see it as another
case of the white man coming in
to kick around a black man. A
man with an eighth-grade educat-
ion sees it quite differently than
a college-educated man who views
the entire picture. But regardless
of education, they see it as an in
justice"
Has Africa made the US. Ne
gro unhappIer with his own lot
more determined than ever to
fight for equal rights?
Not all the Negroes interviewed
by Newsweek could agree on this.
Some think that Africa has fired
the American Negro to a new re-
solve to achieve equality. Loren
Miller, a leading Negro attorney in
Los Angeles, says: The American
Negro is more determined to do
something about his condition be-
cause now he has a sense of the
international flavor of his struggle
for equality" John E. Johnson,
publisher of the Negro magazine
Ebony, comments: Il don't think
there's any doubt that events in
Africa have moved the American
Negro to greater militancy E"
And Lee Blackwell, managing edi-
tor of The Chicago Defender, adds
Africa has made the Negro in
America more conscious of
the failings Of American democ-
racy." Yet, quite a few other Ne
groes argue that Africa wasn't
really needed to stiffen their deter
mination-that they have always
wanted a better shake from Amer
lea.
On one thing, however, most
US. Negroes can agree: They
are against violence, either at
home or abroad.
Almost to a man they hope the
Congo's troubles can be settled
peaceably. In this country, they
strongly endorse non-violent sit.

December, lain Mac Leod, colonial
secretary, set forth recommenda-
tons that would accomplish in
Northern Rhodesia what the Mon

The reaction has been violent
on both sides.
WelensIxy angrily contends
that TO give the Africans the
majority voice In the parlia-
ment of Northern RhOdesia Is
tantamount to expeIling $4,000
whites from the country which
has $4,000 Africans.
I'VE have lived here for -four

to go and we're not leaving"
He calls any plan which would
give the Africans a major voice
in the country's affairs, hall
baked" and has threatened tc
maintain control by force Of arms
II England persists in carrying
out the plan.
On the other hand, Kaunda feels
not only that Africans have moi
been granted seats in proportion
to their numerical strength, but
that the white settlers have NJ
right to any seats on the GROUND
that they are not Africans bu
interlopers who have been squat
ting illegally on land belonging by
right to the Africans.
The solution Is somewhere be
tween these two extremes ant
some compromise must be worked
out to avoid violence. If it comes
1t will be in the form of a racia
conflict, earlier experienced IL
Kenya during the Mau Mau up
rising and the massacres of Soutl
Africa last summer.
Some Of Kaunda's followers,
though sharing his detectives,
are willing to accept the recon-
mended constitutional changes
that give them modified control.
They argue that by accepting
the present plan, they will hav
the backing Of London and from
that position can gradually expan
their influence and eventually &C
