PILGRIM BAPTIST

Worshippers at Pilgrim Baptist
Church Sunday, Sept. 18th heard
DR.. Massey preach from the sub
ject: CLOUD By Day, Fire By
Night. The text was taken from
Exodus 13:21-22.
The minister told the congrega-
tion, in his opening remarks, that
he was compelled to address him
self to the latest incidents in the
Community. DR.. Massey continued
that 1t was unfortunate that these
things had happened and that GER
tainly one Of us condoned such be-
havior on the part of whoever was
guilty. We must not be guilty OF
behavior of this nature regardless
of the many inequalities found in
the community. Instead we must
face up to the problem and seek
a solution. DIR. Massey continued
that the people could not leave
everything 10 the community lead
ers but must take an active part
in the affairs of the community
themselves as well. We must new
er stop trying to rid our city Of
those things that keep the body
unhealthy.
DIR. Massey continued that, re-
gardless OF our training, we must
always realize that God rules over
the universe. Secondly, God pro-
Wdes the light for the Children Of
Israel to see. We must never for
get God in this Social Revolution
If we do we will turn out to
be as bad as the opposition. Light
reveals truth.
In conclusion DIR. Massey pointed
out that the cloud by day and fire
by night did not depart from the
people. The IsraehteS were plain
people like us and God did not
lead them directly to the Promised
Land but instead took them in
around about way. He does the
same with us. He admoniShed the
worshippers in this struggle not
to give UP for God knows what
He is doing and win give us the
guidance.
Registered guests included Mr..
Robert Kinds, st. Paul and Mrs.
Eugenia Wade, Chicago, Ill.
Uniting with the Church was
Mesdames: Ann Williams and Mar
garet Knott, both of st. Paul.

Texf Of President
KennedYs Speech
For CoIIeqe Fund

am very pleased to meet with
members of the National Commit
tee Of the United Negro Colleges
Development Campaign. I am par
hcularly gratified that Mr.. Morti-
mer agreed to be chairman Of this
important effort and that your
response has been so positive to
his and my invitation to join the
National Committee and to be here
today.
Your response Is clear evidence
that the purpose Of this campaign
extends beyond the immediate
benefits 1t will bring TO the 80
member colleges Of the United
Negro College Fund. Your under
taking has broad and vital implic-
ations for the national welfare,
now and in the future. For the
funds which you will raise
will help train successive gener-
ahonS of Negro leaders, a vital
need as the Negro community
continues its striving for equal
rights and equal opportunities
=. and increase its capacity to
make the fullest and best use Of
them.
will help eliminate the economic
disparity OF the average Negro
| American who earns $4,000 a
year less than the average White
American and who suffers a rate
OF unemployment twice as great.
will help overcome the loss of
national productivity and econ
omlc growth caused by discrim-
nation and lack Of educational
opportunity"
1T Is particularly appropriate
that you begin TO campaign In the
midst Of a social revolution to full
fill the promises Of the Emancipa-
ton Proclamation 100 years ago
And 1t Is equally Appropriate that
your efforts will benefit the 81
predominantly Negro college, s
which have done 50 much for 60
many with 50 few resources foI
almost the same number Of years
''In reading your program, was
struck by the fact that these in
stitutions enroll $4,000 students
y Of all the Negro youth attend
ing four-year private colleges and
universities in the deep South.
II am even more struck that the
$50 million target for this cam
paign exceeds by So million the
total amount raised by the United
Negro College Fund since its be-
ginning in 1914. In the past, most
Of the funds raised were used for
operating expenses. This campaign
Is directed largely toward immedi-
ate and critical needs for capital
facilities and endowment for facul-
ty salaries and student financial
add. This Is a SOLDERING require
ment, but I need not emphasize
that $50 million Is Just a portion
of the total needs Of these colleges.
80, do not let your sights be
limited by your $50 million target,
but instead let your sights be ex-
panded by your awareness Of the
need and the potential bene-
tits to the nation.
Again, thank you for coming
today. I wish you every SUCCESS
and assure you Of my continuing
personal inberest In your under
bAlCing."

of Local 516, and his daughter,
Mrs. Patricia Allen, answered this
letter with another letter to the
editor Of these papers. Their letter,
was also thrown into the waste
basket!
What these papers did, was to
deny anybody a chance to refute
these mis-statements Of facts that
had been published against the
Negro citizens Of st. Paul. Qbvi-
ously, the picture conveyed to the
readers, was that on the morning
following the raid, almost a hun
dred per cent Of the st. Paul Ne
groes were in Jail! And also the
fact, that there wasn't another
place where Negroes could buy
barbecue, with the exception OF
the establishment which was in an
undesirable location.
Let me state emphatically,
that the Biloxi Mississippi Gaz-
cite, cannot do a better job Of
tanning the flames Of racial
violence - embarrassing, humil-
iating and insulting the st. Paul
Negroes - then the job that Is
being done by these daily pap
ers!
I do not by any means intenc
to convey justification Of nfscon
duct by any youth or adult whC
can be identified by ethnic origin
do however, adamantly contend
that If our papers are to render
equitable services to the people
when and If these incidents dC
occur - the facts will be gone
over and anything that might tenC

Americas business and philan'

awareness OF the breadth, depth
and intensity Of the nations civil
rights problem"
Hailing particularly the remed-
ial programs Of the SO Negro
colleges to compensate for de-
ficiencies In primary and second
ary education among Negroes In
the South, Mr.. Mortimer said:
Many a young Negro student
has found 1t possible 10 go on to
an advanced degree because one
or another Of these colleges has
realistically provided that extra
educational boost - through re-
medal pre-freshman courses OF
tutoring that made him quail
fled TO enter any college in the
first place.
while lower-sldlled jobs are
diminishing in number under our
advancing technology, it is a
worse-than-ever economic waste
when business and industry must
continue 10 say we would employ
more Negroes If we could find edu-
cationany-qualified candidates for
the kind Of better jobs available.
and industry need to
wade in and help create more
trained, educated and qualified Ne
gro applicants.
The obvious human considera-
tions aside, these probabilities,
feel sure, account in part for the
way the 35 outstanding business
leaders responded to the Presi-
dents and my plea to serve on our
national committee" Mr.. Mortim-
er said.
The Negro colleges in UNCF are
all accredited and integrated in.
Stitutions. Their enrolment totals
more than $4,000. Although the
colleges are predominantly Negro
there are a number Of white stu.
dents in these institutions. From
their inception, a high percentage
of their faculties have been white
and close to half Of their trustees
are white persons.

paign presents 'an unparallele,
opportunity to fill an urgent nee,
for improving plant facilities ($2j
