Marketing experts say Negroes
are usually more brand conscious
than whites. Brand has become a
sign Of achievement among Ne
groes - status symbol" says
William Capitman, president of the
Center for Marketing Research,
Peeksldll, NY. Mr.. Capdtman's
studies have shown that a higher
percentage of Negroes than whites
own Cadillacs. A higher percent
age of Negroes also drink Scotch
whisky, including the higher
priced brands. This fondness for
luxury cars and expensive liquor,
it's been suggested, may some
times reflect the Negroes unconsci-
Gus desire to find substitutes for
the white status symbols from
which he Is often barred, such as
fashionable addresses and country
club memberships.
Some companies, Of course, have
given special attention to the Ne
gro market for years, often as
part Of broader program Of pro-
motional activity aimed at many
ethnic groups and neighborhoods.
While the field was once left large
ly to sellers Of so-called Negro
products, such as hair straighten-
ers and skin nghteners, most of
the firms that have turned to the
Negro market In more recent years
are pushing their regular products.
Mr.. Howard estimates that the
portion Of Negro radio advertis-
ing accounted for by Negro pro-
ducts" has drpoped from 90% to
about 1879 over the past decade
as more national advertisers have
added the Negro market to their
budgets.
P. Ballantine Sons, a Newark,
M, brewery, Is among the more
successful companies in the Ne
gro market. Ballantine has been
using Negro models in some Of its
advertising for more than 10 years.
The company has also been active
in Negro community affairs. spon-
soring civic dinners, providing
tournament trophies and holding
a largely Negro golf tournament

Ballantine considers such activ-
ities a logical part Of a neighbor-

Washington (ANP) - In what
was the largest civil rights demon
straton in Americas history, free
dom marchers converged on the
nations capital by just about ev-
cry means of transportation - by
car, bus, train, plane, and even
roller skates to dramatize the his
toric march for jobs and freedom.
One group even walked.
Civil Rights organizations and
special committees, North, South,
East and West arranged for the
transportation of thousands OF
persons.
Chartered Freedom Trains
came from Chicago, Cincinnati,
Birmingham, New York, Jackson
vile, Fla, Detroit, Hartford,
Conn, Philadelphia, Newark, NJ,
and New Orleans among many
others.
The Pennsylvania Railroad op-
Grating between New York and
Washington reported a shortage
of cars on the day of the march.
Airplanes were chartered by
groups in several cities to trans
port their delegations. Chicago
chartered three 9O-seat freedom
planes for its delegation of religi.

IN MrEMORIAM

In loving memory Of our dear
mother, Ella Washington, who left
us August %, 1866.
You are so sadly missed, I have
longed for you day after day,
All the time you've been away,
Your smiles and kisses and
the things you used to do, It
was a joy to have a mother
like you.
The memories are so sweet Of you.

Greensboro, Kinston, Rocky Mount,
Wilson and Winston-Salem. It has
also worked with bi-racial COM
mittees on this matter Of job OPP
portunities.
Warren County is the setting for
another approach to the freedom
struggle. This Is one Of the Black
Belt counties. It has been dubbed,
and not without some justifica-
ton, ''the Mississippi of North
Carolina" It Is, without a doubt,
the center Of hard core resistance
to desegregation in North Caro-
lima.
This was the spot selected by
the American Friends Service Com
mittee to set UP a work camp pro-
ject stressing Citizenship Educa-
ton. To this site came students,
black and white, from all sections
Of the country and from Africa.
These students, though meeting
for the first time this summer,
have developed a communal life
built on fellowship and mutual
respect.
In teams they have gone into
churches Of Vance, Franklin, and
Warren Counties to conduct classes
on vote-registration, help with
Bible schools, and to set up pro-
grams of recreation. They have en-
gagged in such manual activities as
painting, cleaning, etc. 1t Is the
philosophy of this project that
awareness and an appreciation of
the privileges and responsibilities
Of citizenship is one approach to
the freedom struggle.
The sincerity Of these students
has caused the Negro communities
Of the area to take them to heart.
Typical is Miss Bronnie Baird, a
white college student from Eden,
New York, and Ronald Masul<u,
and African student attending
Rochester university in Rochester,
NY. They put their bodies and
souls into every project - vaca-
ton Bible schools, citizenship
classes, community recreation-to
show they are interested in the
advancement of all citizens.
All of these students have been
living together in rented quarters.
The project will continue to the
last Of August. 1t, no doubt, will
prove a profitable experience to
both the students and to the peo-
pie with whom they are working.

demonstrations and violation OF
city ordinances.
In Williamson, the leaders of
demonstrations and picketing have
taken their case to court against
a tough anti-demonstration ordin-
ance.
In Thomasville, the Rev. w. e.
Banks, through whose church
someone fired a shot while NAA-
CP meeting was in session, has
vowed "to demonstrate 1856 days
a year If the demands Of the
demonstrators are not met.
In Asheboro four white youths,
following a car Of Negroes, were
peppered with bucEshot.
And in Raleigh - though hav-
ing a high percentage of desegre-
cation - young people are still
picketing some Of the strong bas-
tons of segregation.
Taking the revolution to the
streets Is not the only approach
being followed in the Tar Heel
state. Leaders have recognized the
need for a diversified approach.
1t was Gov. Terry Sanford him
self who introduced the idea Of
state council. The original plan
called for a council Of "A members.
So far, 20 of the "a seats have
been filled. The present council Is
made up of 10 Negroes and 10
whites.
Some excerpts from a speech
given January 16, 1853 by the
Governor explain the purpose and
significance of the council.
THE Council will have a two
fold mission: ~ to encourage EN-
ployment of qualified people with
out regard to race, and (2) to urge
youth to become better trained and
qualified for employment.
The speech went on to ask state
agencies, departments and inst-
tutions, church leaders, and civic
organizations to cooperate in the
efforts Of the Council.
Then, said the governor: The
time has come for American citi-
zens to quit unfair discrimin-
ations, and to give the Negro a
full chance to earn a decent living
for his family and to contribute to
higher standards for himself and
all men,"
Speaking before the first meet
ing Of the Council, July 8, 1868,
the governor said:
There will not be any discrim-
ination in state jobs. Such discrim-
ination is both unconstitutional and
undemocratic. Negroes are invited

and leaders to task for failing tc

on Washington, Aug. %.
Said WMCA in the editorial let
ter released prior to the march:
Mass demonstrations, picketing,
sit-ins and similar instruments OF
social protest were not invented
by the Negro civil rights move
ment.
They were in fact invented by
organized labor over its long his
tory in the struggle for the rights
Of worlingmen.
80 it's hard to justify the at
titude Of some of our nations big
gest labor unions during the strug-
gle for equal rights of all Amer
leans.
Eighteen out of 20 members in
the AFL-CIO executive council,
for example, voted last week to
take no part in the national march
on Washington in support Of the
civil rights bill.
"AFL CIO President George
Meany apparently fears the march
might offend sensitive types (of
lawmakers) on Capitol Hill.
But WMCA wonders whether
big labor would exist at all If its
early organizers had followed the
kind of leaning-back tactics now
recommended to the American
Negro in his struggle for basic
human rights"
