problem, and had presented him
with signed affidavits CT protest

Jesus Christ and the brotherhood
of all men in His name. We have
always proclaimed that because
He died for all men, we must now
treat all men with decency and
humanity. lt.~is the tragedy of
our lives that We 90 not always
live according to these claims.
1t should be clear that we, as a
church, believe that all men in
our town and everywhere -.
should be treated as individuals
and not Disseminated against be-
cause they are members OF a
particular race. But it is not
clear because we have not spok-
EN- cut. And so it has been the
Merchants Association of Chapel
Hill which has called for the i'm
mediate end Of discriminatory
practice in public businesses.
And the Mayors Committee on
Human Relations has asked that
the Board of Aldermen make it
clear that "the policy of the
town OF Chapel Hill in all matters
is to assure equality of treatment
for all its citizens in every area
of community life."
but though we are not the first
to speak, yet we must speak out
first, for the sake of what we
believe, and secondly. that we
fulfill our responsibility to the
town. Therefore, the Social Ac-
tion Commission of United Church
offers the following. resolution
and asks its acceptance by the
congregation.
WHEREAS: We, as a congre-
cation of Christian men and wom-
en-. believe in the Lordship of

WHEREAS: We therefore be-
lieve that all citizens of Chapel
Hill should be treated as indlvid-
ual human beings and not dis
criminated against because they
are members of particular race,
THEREFORE, BE TT RESOL-
WE'D: That this congregation is
opposed to discriminatory prac-
tice in public businesses, when
based on race, creed, or color,
and we urge all Chapel Hill busi-
neSsmen to serve all of our citiz-
ems and
BE 1T RESOLVED: That we
join with the Ministerial Associa-
tion, the Merchants Association,
and the Mayors Human Relations
Committee in urging that segre-
cation be ended in Chapel Hill,
and
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLV-
ED: That copies Of this resolu-
tion be sent to the Mayors Com
mittee on Human Relations and
the local newspapers.
The North Carolina Christian
Student Workers Association, at
its recent conference here, also
registered its support of efforts
to secure equal treatment of all
customers in public businesses in

! The Association drew up a reso-
luton to the effect that I'VE en-
courage and support those stu

their concern for social justice
