ISSUES: GOOD
AND BAD
BY p. L. PRATTIS

Children are regarded as the
most precious product Of any gen.
Grafton. There Is nothing under, on,
or above the earth so fun of pro-
mise as they.
They come into the world en-
dowed with their share OF the
power, might and talent Of the
Great Creator, God Children grow
into Millions, Shal1espeares, New
tons, Ben Franltlins, Voltaires.
The progress OF the human race Is
nothing more than the greater and
greater Identification Of the power
OF God in men.
Those who believe In a just God
must also believe that, except for
mans own frailties, God shares his
talents with all men alike. n It be
said that all men do not have
equal talent, the fault or the in
equity cannot be ascribed to the
Creator. A child may be handi-
capped before or after birth.
The issue is important because
now, all of q sudden, we are
hearing and learning SO much
about the unpreparedness Of Ne
gro youth.
Whose fault is that? OF youths
themselves? OF their parents? ? Or
is 1t all to be ascribed bo racial
discrimination and it's concomitant
Illustration?
Are we to blame the labor un-
ions, the employers, inferior
schools, ghetto conditions, rejection
by others? Are we to blame every
body and everything but our
ourselves?
know full well what racial
discrimination means. I have
worked for fifty-five years without
ever drawing pay check from a
white man. I know that the years
through which I lived did not de-
mand as much as the year Of to-
morrow.

James Nabrit, president of How

a silver spoon in his mouth. Nor

Walter Aiken, nor Thurgood Mar

hundreds of others who have at

However, I must confess that
these men came from two genera

interest was in education and
achievement. They came from par
ents and grandparents who ignored
the handicaps and made their own
way.
have a friend who is perhaps
the outstanding tailor In South
Carolina. How did he learn 10
be a tailor? Fifty-five years ago,
he went to a white tailor and
told him he'd like to work around
the shop.
Said the man, "Okay, Hop, but
I amt got nothing to pay you"
That's all right" rejoined Hop.
For years he worked in this white
mans shop without pay, but HE
LEARNED A TRADE.
The finest people In South Car
olina, including the governors and
senators, come to him for their
clothes.
Much of the fault for this gener-
ations plight, I believe, can be laid
to parents and the kind of homes
they provide for their children.

DRY POINTS
BY FRED GRAM

Money, they say, Is not every
thing. But there are those who are
willing to argue that, as a sub
stdtute, 1t has certain desirable
points.
The ultimate marvel In electron-
ic computers win be a miniature
job into which a housewife can
feed data off the supermarlret
shelf and learn instantly what
she's paying for a package OF soap
or a box Of flour.
The human race Is capable Of
astonishing versatility, such as
the development Of the most In
trIcate social relationships, and
breath-tal1ing individual achieve
ments and herodsm. Also appalling,
craven conformism, and egregious
egoism.
The decline of college athletics
may be partly due 10 the fact that
we never can be quite sure, at the
inevitable banquet to honor the
coach, whether to chant Hes a
Good Egg" or Hes a Good Yegg."
Poverty, says the government,
Is subsistence for an individual on
less than $3.50 a year. Hunger,
say we. Is the $10o-plus bite the
government takes before the pow
erty-stdcken can begin eating.
