the Cumberland High School
P-TA Wednesday, Dec. 4, at 8
pm. at the school auditorium. A
thought-provoking topic for dis
cussion. when does school auth
ority over our children begin and
when does it end?" has been
selected.
"A. P. Johnston, spokesman for
the P-TA said some Of the discus
sion will concern the behavior
of students on and off school
property and after school hours,
as well as smoking and drinking
problems at school-sponsored
activities.
There have been a variety
| of opinions as to what should
| be done and how far to go to
curb umfavorable situations, :
Johnston said. There is no
doubt that the conduct of high
school boys and girls throughout
the state have much influence
on the lower grade children" he
added.
TO our surprise there are
some people who want the par
ents to stay out of school at
fairs" he said. Don't let any
one tell you that parents have
nothing to do with school at
fairs, because we are respon-
sible for the conduct of our chill
dren until they become of legal
age"
The silent voices Of the peo-
pie is major cause Of the

ing" Johnston observed. Don't
let your voice be silent, please

Wednesday evening. There will
be a Student panel discussion
to give tie students point Of

obviously filled with left-wingers

In his prepared statement Rusk
enumerated four reasons why
Americas racial discrimination
has not hurt us more than it has
in countries abroad.
He said that non-whfte students
have encountered discrimination in
Soviet-bloc countries; non-white
Americans have steadfastly been
loyal to America and its institu-
tions despite the disabilities they
have suffered -; America has
made progress in removing dis
criminatory laws and practices,
and that the Federal government,
especially the Executive and Judi
cial branches, has done much to
secure the rights of racial minor
tiles.
Rusk said Ill nations have rep
resentatives in Washington and
New York. In addition, hundreds
of non-white government officials
students, visitors, professors, poll
ticians, techicians come to this
country each year.
Many have been denied accom-
modations in hotels, motels, rest
aurants and public beaches. State
Department records are replete
with complaints from ambassadors
who can't find lodging for their
staffs.
Many African diplomats are
afraid to travel in our country,
explained Rusk, because they don't
know when they will meet the
problem of segregation.

all possible steps to achieve this
end.
Stepping away from the inter-
national scene, there are several
events current that equally high
light the stir, motivation that
seems to have gathered momentum
from the recent Summit. For one
thing, the ratification OF the Char
ter of African Unity - more than
two-thirds Of the African states
have approved it - Is moving
apace. Post-conference utterances
from all quarters Of the continent
support the seriousness with which
the results of that meeting Is held.
East Africa is hurrying to feder-
ate as a plank in the practical uni
ty envfsaged. The news that Kenya
will be independent by the end Of
the year has given added stimulus
to the drive for regional associa-
ton, considered by many as a prac-
tical step to the final goal.
African Solidarity Exhibited
African solidarity manifested
itself again in another information
al conference. The withdrawal Of
Portugal from the Geneva inter-
national conference of Education
has been called for. The education
ministers of Nigeria and Mall,
speaking on behalf Of and in the
name of all independent African
states, objected to the presence Of
Portugal berause of her colonialist
policy. The U. A. r. severed Dip
lomatc. relations with Portugal
for the same reason. Thus, the
new wine Of the recent Summit
vintage has begun to appear, and
it would seem that the old bottles
will have to be removed.

Der African liberation committee

Columbia, s. c. (ANP) - A
spokesman for the South Carolina
Progressive Democrats, the Negro
political organization, estimated
last week that about 101, 900 Ne
groes are registered to vote in this
state.
John H. McCray of Columbia
said this represents a jump OF
5000 since September, 1862 and
an increase Of nearly 1000 since
May, 1862, when the figure was
9O,659.
McCray said the biggest in
crease - a jump of 1000 - was
registered in Charleston County
over the past year. He added that
gains Of 800 were reported in
Georgetown County and gains OF
200 or more were reported in
Richland, GreenHlle, Sumter and
Beaufort counties. McCray esti.
mated that about one out of every
four South Carolina Negroes /.

and the Union ought to be the
preoccupation Of men Of good will
everywhere.
Pressure Builds Up
Time Is running out. The 80
African states that met in Adds
Ababa last May are unanimously
convinced "of the imperious and
urgent necessity Of coordinating
and intensifying their efforts to
put an end to the South African
Governments criminal policy Of
apartheid and wipe out discrimin-
alton In all its forms"
Assessing what is currently
taking place on the continent in
terms Of the decisions Of the Adds
Ababa Summit 1t seems that new
concepts and new approaches are
terminating. Here the old saying
new wine needs new winesldns"
was never more applicable. In
deed, this Is an interesting period
in African and world history.

But, If Portugal continues to al

BY AdOlph J. Slaughter

Washington (ANP) - On the
issue Of race, it does not take
much for a southern Senator to
make himself appear foolish, for,
given enough time, he will need no
assistance from anyone.
Such was the case last week
when Senator Strom Thurmond
(D-S. c. accused a jammed hear
ing room of spectators of being
left-wingers and civil Fighters be-
cause they applauded Dean Rusk,
Secretary of State, following his
appearance before the Senate Com
merce Committee, currently hold
ing hearings on a civil rights bill.
The incident occurred shortly
after Sen. Thurmond, a member of
the Committee, had completed his
Interrogation of Rusk.
During the questioning, Thur
mond attempted to associate civil
rights demonstrations with COM
munism and communists, but was
adroitly checked by Rusk who said
that Negroes, far from being Com
munists, were among the best am
bassadors for us. democracy ever
sent overseas.
When the Secretary had COM
pleted reading a 1O-page statement
in which he told of the evils and
h earta ches discrimination has
caused American Negroes and nom
white diplomatic members from
foreign countries, Rhode Island
Senator John o. Pastore congrat-
ulated him on his appearance as an
excellent witness.
At this juncture, nearly 500
spectators applauded the Secre-
tary as he rose to leave.
The apprectative applause flus-
tered and angered Thurmond who,
redfaced, demanded the committee
chairman's attention.
Thurmond belched that applause
in the committee hearing room
was against the rules of the COM
mittee and that the audience was

lights up when they look at you
and smile. You can't help but
notice how much that smile did for
them. You decide right then and
there to wear" a smile. The smile
Of sincere joy takes five years

in your mirror and see for your
self.

happiness "r11bs" OFF onto her

mother that her teacher Is a "smil-

the one who Is always a mad"

rooms you sense the attitude Of
the children. In the room where
the teacher has put aside all Of
her personal problems, there is an
air of happiness and the children

to leave because they could not
feel secure with some one who was
not secure herself.
How little it takes to make any
one happy? You can walk into a
room full Of people and make them
happier that you walked in. Step
in with smile and a CHEEKY hello
and everyone who saw and heard
you will look up and smile. We
all know people that we are happy
to see, because we know they are
pleasant to be with and we also
know people who enter a room
and one look at the frown on their
face and you wish they would
leave.

quickened, it Immediately becomes
apparent that all Of them did not
originate solely from the Adds
Ababa conference. Most Of them
were well underway before then.
Yet, because of the Summit con-
ference, African spokesman and
leaders now move with confidence
across the platform of world pol
itics. They attack their problems
with renewed vfgor-a happy aug
ury for the future.
Pressing For Representation
In the United Nations, for ex-
ample, Africa is pressing for ade-
quate representation in the main
bodies Of the world organization.
In calling for a revision of the UN
charter to make this condition
possible, Mr.. Alex Quatson-Sackey
of Ghana blamed the United States
and Russia for the situation in
which there has been no amend
ment of the UN Charter in its II
years of existence, despite the
doubling of membership.
This case has been presented be-
fore. 1t is logical that the Charter
be revised to coincide with changed
and changing circumstances. What
Is significant in this matter Is the
fact that now Africa's bid fol-
greater representation in the UN
proceeds from a recognizable base
Want UN Places
At the Adds Ababa summit, II
was resolved to "insist that Africa
as a geographical region should
have equitable representation in

cies." African representatives in
