The only local issue on the
November 9Th election ballot is
an 8.4 school levy and already
proponents of the measure are
actively engaged in getting an
overwhelmingly affirmative
vote cast in its favor.
The levy is a A renewal and
a 4-mill increase for operating
use. The amount will constitute
40 per cent of the revenue for
the school system.
Furthermore, the increase is
the first hike asked for by the
Board of Education in more
than 10 years.
The first local group to act
on the school request was the
Community Council, which last
Thursday voted unanimously
not only in favor of it, but to
vigorously support the levy.
One of the reasons for the
4mill increase as cited by
school officials is the need of
East Cleveland to compete with
neighhoring districts as far as
teachers are concerned.
Greatest Asset
"The greatest asset any
school district can have is an
excellent teaching staff says
Superintendent of Schools,
Harold Nichols.
east Cleveland has been
blessed with fine staff over
the years and the system 5
good reputation can be attrib-
uted to the work of our dedi-
Gated teachers" he added.
DR.. Nichols pointed out that
the greatest period Of growth
in East Cleveland's history oc-
Cured in the 1920's, and many
new teachers were brought into
the system during that decade.
He explained that these
teachers are in the process Of
completing their tenure Of
teaching and many have COM
pleted their entire teaching
career in East Cleveland.
Important Board Function
Consequently" DR.. Nichols
said, teacher replacement is
one of the most important cur
rent Board of Education func-
tions. Competing for the hest
teachers in market which can
supply only a fraction of the
total teachers needed in a state
and national basis is the posi-
ton in which the school admin
istration finds itself. To date
East Cleveland has been fortu-
nate to attract personally
qualified an d professionally
trained personnel

'Must Prove We Are Equal"
The Virginia Union alumnus
said "as a racial group, we must
turn our energies toward improv-
ing our standards, using the same
zeal and the same courage we did
to gain civil rights victories. We
have asked for the right Of equal
opportunity, now we must prove
that we are equal"
Booker said ut is easy to blame
this defect on restrictions because
of segregation and discrimination,
but that Is no excuse. We must
demonstrate the same interest, the
same desire for improvement as
we did in the area Of civil rights. "
"As college trained Negroes .
we must work diligently to obtain
perfection in a chosen field, and we
must work to lift thousands
who still remain the victims of
poor housing, poor education, poor
employment and poor civil rights, +"
Booker concluded.

ZION BAPTIST

Sunday, March IL, 1862 was
Youth Day at Zion Baptist
Church. Our intern minister, Rev,
Henry Hardy delivered the mes
sage at the 8 am. service. The
Rev. Thomas Warmsley, Pastor of
the First Congregational Church
of Robbinsdale, lectured at the IL
am. service. Life as a Hallelu-
iah", was the sermon delivered by
Rev. Henry Hardy, using the 135th
Psalm as his scriptural back
ground. The young minister de-
fined Hallelujah as a way to praise
the Lord, when things are well
with your soul. Rev. Hardy stated
that the majesty of God can be
subsumed in this one word, Halle
Ilujah"!!!
If we can understand the kind
of God we serve as Hallelujah
God, we will then approach the
life intended for us in our exist
ance. The minister went on to say,
that we cannot give God any
thing because everything we own
belongs to God. That we can only
give to those around us a life Of
service. And when we do this, a
life of service becomes the Halle
lujah Life"
At the IL am. service Rev.
Thomas Warmsley lectured on
MANS Love, Equal Rights, and
Relationship to One Another"
based on the Bible Story of Adam
and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
The minister stated that Adam
was to love and protect Eve and
treat her as his equal and that she
was to be a helper to him. Rev.
Warmsley said that the same re-
fers to man in this day. That we
must love we one another and treat
all men equal regardless of race,
creed or color.
The minister went on to say
that in the sight Of God all men
are equal and the only way they
can show this is by worshiping
God together and leading a Christ
ian life. BY doing this the world
can be a better place in which to
live.

Those are the remarks of Sim

emic ladty of Negro colleges in
his keynote address to students

Booker charged that Negro univ

During a recent exam (for dip

from a Negro college failed.
TN Ghana, only two of the 90
odd Peace Corpsmen are Negro

Part Of the blame, he charged,

Here are a few tips that will
help you save on your electric bill
You can cut down on light bulb.
by using one high-wattage built
instead of several smaller ones.
A 100 watt bulb gives 50 per cent
more light than four rs watt bulbl
yet costs only a few pennies
more.
Few homemakers realize that y
few swipes with a dust cloth caI
increase light by as much as fifty
per cent. Be sure to dust lamp
shades inside and out. You'll get
better light from lamps with
smaller bulbs when you use trans
parent shades and besides your
room will look cosier.
Turn off the lights when you
leave a room and do not plan to
return for awhile.
Light reflected from the walls
is free When you repaint, use
white or light pastel tones. You'll
find that YOU need far less arti6-
cial lighting than you would wi h
dark wans.

Sunday, March 18th, a goodly
number braved the blizzard to
hear DR.. Floyd Massey preach
from the topic They Hated Jesus.
Taking his text from Mark 3:6,
the minister developed his sermon
thusly: Reasons why Pharisees
hated Jesus: (1) He spoke with
Authority. They felt that they had
a monopoly on that point. (2) He
believed that the gospel was for
others in addition to his people. He
was universal in his religious
thinking. 81 He violated some of
their puritanical codes by eating
with publicans and sinners. C4)
He attacked Pharisees personally,
calling them hypocrites like whited
sepulchres. (5) He became too
popular with the masses.
What Can We Learn From Their
Tragic Behavior? I. Good people,
church people, must be careful
lest they cruelty Christ afresh. Our
Spiritual Pride can cause us to
miss our heavenly goal. Secondly
and in conclusion, DR.. Massey told
the worshippers that we must hold
on to our compassion. We must not
lose our tenderness. The minister
pointed t that people who err
must be led back to God by us. We
must not major on condemning
those who err but in bringing them
back to Christ.
Prior to the sermon, DR.. Massey
narrated the Children's Story in
which he impressed upon them to
love one another for in doing so
we get the gospel Of Jesus Christ.
Music was provided by the Sen
ior Choir and Gospel Chorus under
direction of Mr.. A. Richmond and
Mrs. o. Galloway respectively.
On Monday at 1880 pm. the
Youth Usher Board met at the
home of Miss Carolyn Collins, 91S
Fuller and on Tuesday the Usher
Board met at the home Of Mrs.
Mary Clardy, 94S Marshall.

prior to the sermon. Mr.. Jackson
served % years on the Board of

NC. White Baptist
Church Votes To
Admit Non-Whifes

Winston-Salem, N. G. CAMP -
Wake Forest Baptist church, To-
Gated on the campus of Wake For
est college, last week opened its
membership to all persons, regard
less of race.
The decision came quickly and
there was no dispute over the res
olution from the Christian Life
committee.
DR.. Glenn Blackburn, pastor,
called the vote IAN overwhelming
majority" in favor of the move,
and added, Il am grateful for the
church that's willing to do this"
Takes Verbal Stand
The only member taking a YER
bal stand was DR.. ]. Allen Easley,
chairman of the department of re-
ligion at Wake Forest college. He
said, Il think we are all indebted
to this committee" for bringing
the matter to the congregation.
DR.. Easley said that for the past
decade Christians have had their
conscience stirred by racial mat
tiers and that at last racial bar
riers are being broken down in
public schools, higher education
and industry.
Calls Step Timid'
He added, Surely the Christian
Church in this country can dare to
take this timid step and without
fear"
BY the action, the church be-
came the first Baptist church in
Winston-Salem to take public ac-
ton and open its membership to
Negroes. Wake Forest college and
Mars Hill college are the only
two Baptist institutions in the
state which have abided by a state
convention recommendation.
