MAX BRYDENTHAL, city council member who voted for the fund and put it where it is today, said “The government is not interested in people because the hearings are held when the people cannot get there.” In a letter to the state tax board, Mr. Murray said, “The tremendous sums of money that have been spent over the years beyond the 1 -inner-city which are the actual costs of the deferred maintenance and failure to meet the inner-city needs should be accepted as a pre-payment to the area to beyond the inner-city and all available funds for capital improvements should be made available to the inner-city.” city.” The total assessed valuation of the. county subject to the park board’s tax rate is $1,476,416*61, it was reported. Multiplied by .05, the total amount of money involved perannium is $748,416.61. MURRAY MAINTAINS that the law and the action of the city council contemplates that this tax rate is being fixed for a period of 12 years. Therefore^ he points out, just considering that the assessed valuation remain stationery, the actual amount of money contemplated under this guidance which is spoken about in terms of five-cents actually represents a grand total of $8,980,999.32. “The basic arguments made in favor of this tax rate,” Murray said, “are the needs of the inner-city. Much is said of the accumulated deferred maintenance and the need for new capital improvements.”

BY WILLA THOMAS Church Editor Dr. Robert Saunders of Anderson was reelected president of the Indiana Baptist State Sunday School and B.T.U. Congress at the closing of its 22nd annual session in Muncie last Sunday. Other officers elected were: Rev. Noel E. Horde, first vice president; Rev. Stroughton Summers, second vice president; Mrs. Veona E. Highbaugh, secretary; Mrs. Edwina Boone, assistant secretary; Rev. L. F. Burton, treasurer; Rev. L. A. Manuel, statistician; Mrs. Blossom Jones, chorister; Mrs. Ruth Davis, pianist; Miss C. A. Burton, assistant pianist; and Dr. T. T. Newman, dean. THE SESSIONS were held at Calvary Baptist Church, with Dr. G. R. Wilkins as host minister. Dr. Bernard L. White, minister of St. John’s Baptist Church of South Bend, gave the closing message. Musice was presented by Rev. White’s choir. The theme of the conference was “Evangelizing through Education — Education Through Evangelism (Matt. 11:28)” Approximately 800 persons attended the conference. Among the guest speakers for the week was the Rev. F. G. Sampson of Louisville who brought some wonderful messages to us, and they were messages from God that could be understood. As he spoke to us each time he reminded the Christian of the church’s calling to go teach and to win them for Christ. Those who listened learned a lot. Other speakers at the conference included Dr. F. Benjamin Davis, Dr. J. T. Highbaugh, Rev. Otis W. Armistead, Rev. A. L. Dew, Rev. G. R. Mallory, and Dr. T. T. Newman, the conference dean. Dr. Saunders, conference president, gave his annual message on last Thursday night. The Second Baptist Church choir sang. The following conductors taught each day: MRS. BLOSSOM JONES, Mrs. Veanie Dawson, Rev. G. R. Wilkins, Mrs. Delight Couch, Rev. N. E. Horde, Mrs. Anna Thomas, Dr. F. Benjamin Davis, Dr. B. L. White and Earnest Butler. Dr. Saunders, in his message, urged the churches to work to win the lost boys and girls to the church, to teach them and to lead them. He urged them to study all of God’s words to better be able to teach the word. Among the conductors that spoke was Mrs. F. Benjamin Davis who urged the young people to seek out a mate that is a Christian for after they marry one that is not a Christian it is hard to change them. “You should marry a person that belongs to the same faith as you,” Mrs. Davis commented. “For if you don’t he will take you away from your church. Talk this over with your parents and seek council from the minister of the church.” According to those attending the Congress this was the best session ever held. The people of the church and the city were all very nice. Next year’s session will be held at Second Baptist Church of Terre Haute, where Rev. N. E. Horde is minister.

Unwed mother

Continued from Page 1 child and protect him and see to it that he is taken care of as long as I find it necessary, regardless of the embarrassing questions and never ending court continuations. This article will not apply to a lot of mothers who don’t have to depend on child support. But someday your daughter may have to go through this embarrassment, or you may even have a son who is, or someday may be, the father of an illigitimate child. You can’t always make a person realize just how it is to fulfill an obligation to a child. If you could put yourself in the unwed mother’s place you would then realize how hard it can be for a child to be bom illigitimately. AS I HAVE STATED before society brands the mother and child, seldom the father. When a mother has been subjected to pressures of ridicule from neighbors, friends, and sometimes even the family, she rebells even more against society. An unwed mother usually becomes very easily depressed and may issue abuse against the child who she may feel is the responsible party for all her heartache and grievances, when all the time it is not the child’s fault. Child support can lead to a number of things as we all know. When we speak of poverty, many of these unwed mothers will rely on Welfare or A.D.C. because they have given up hope on the father. When these children have to be taken care of by Welfare and A.D.C. we ask ourselves, “Why should we have to take care of someone else’s children, if the fathers won’t and the taxpayers won’t then who will? Many girls sixteen to eighteen years old, feel rejected when they become pregnant, because they thought they were in love and the boy or man of the child would not marry her after she became pregnant. When she’s in trouble and has no one to turn to, she feels as though her life is ruined forever. But on the other hand if she may be given just a ray of hope that things really aren’t as bad as they seem, she can almost assure herself that she will have some help from the father. If you are an unwed mother with some of these grievances, remember, you’ve made one mistake and life can only be what you make it the rest of the way. It won’t do any good to ask yourself, “Why did it happen to me? What’s happened has happened, just don’t let history repeat itself in the same manner. IN THIS ARTICLE I have tried to stress my opinion and what has happened to me in my experience with child support. In many cases the cause isn’t always the $10.00 or $20.00 a father must pay, even though it may be a great help in some cases, and to some unwed mothers like myself it’s

Continued from Pag* 1 SNCC and CORE. Dr. King, while differing philosophically with “black power,” espoused by SNCC and CORE, seemed to be making peace overtures in their direction. He invited Floyd B. McKissick, national CORE director, to speak at a freedom rally at Chicago’s Soldier Field, where Dr. King declared that “Our power is in our unity.” McKissick declared that he would come if Dr. King called for him, because they were “brothers,” despite their ideological differences. The NAACP and the Urban League, however, appeared to be less interested in working together with other civil rights organization. Roy Wilkins, NAACP executive director, declared that it was difficult “to have genuine cooperation, on an equal responsibility basis, with groups that do not have the same commitments and which may very well be pursuing certain goals that have nothing to do with civil rights at all.” Wilkins was said to be referring to SNCC and CORE, whose espousal of “black power” he has condemned. The NAACP director said the refusal of Meredith March organizations to “join in a strong nationwide effort to pass the civil rights bill was a civil rights tragedy.” Again, he was said to be referring to SNCC and CORE. Wilkins also charged that the Mississippi Freedom Democratic party, which he termed “SNCC under another name,” disrupted NAACP operations in Mississippi and “invaded our office.” The NAACP, Wilkins said, gave SCLC $5,000 to help the Selma-to-Montgomery march, but had to wait six months before a form letter from SCLC acknowledged the receipt of $3,000 of that gift. Meanwhile, Whitney M. Young, Jr., National Urban League executive director got in his licks when he patted the League on the back for programs designed to promote racial dignity, while casting a scornful eye on those who are preoccupied with “slogans” and “vague phrases,” like “black power.” While he did not mention SNCC and CORE, he was evidently referring to their identification with ’black power.” “Our interracial staff is at wok in 76 cities with programs, not slogans,” Young announced.

Highly motivated by the desire to do something for their country and the less fortunate, VISTA trainees here are going all out to the people with whom they come in contact. After conducting a survey over the Westside, Vista workers this week were leading the residents in the formulation and circulation of a petition to the state government asking the demolition of delapidated structures standing in the oath of the new highway. The structures, purchased by the state, are vacant and present a health and safety hazard to the neighborhood. Encouraged by their reception at Lockefield Gardens, VISTA workers on Wednesday opened an information center for Lockefield residents at Blake and Indiana. The people of the area are welcomed in as the volunteers seeks to learn of their problems and extend aid. VISTA workers are giving their services to various playgrounds, social agencies, and Community Action centers during their training cycle. Robert D. DeFrantz, Acting Director of Planner House's Morgan* Health Center, is placement director for the VISTA program. He has the responsibility of interviewing all volunteers and determining logical placements. He also works with the heads of the placement institutions in setting up the work schedule for the volunteers, and also monitors the service of the workers. Robert T. Luttrell, Chief of Management and Operations for the Board for Fundamental Education, is Director of the VISTA project. BFE is actually the contractor with the Federal Government to provide the training. Dennis Short student at Christian Theological Seminary, is Administrative Assistant to Dr. Polin. Mrs. Susie Orton, William Wilson, William Smith, and Mrs. Nancy Shaw serve as counselors. John A. Henderson, Business Manager of Planner House, is Management Director for the VISTA program. Planner House department heads who are working with the program are: Gordon Alexander, Director of Employment

and Industrial Relations; Theodore Simpson, Acting Director of Planner House Homes, Inc.; Henry Warfield, Director of Community Development, and Izona Warner, Social Service. Policeman kills

persons injured. The condition of August Ranschaert of South Bend was reported “very critical.” Police said they were huntinsr three youths in the attack on Ranschaert, who was walking just outside the area where police had broken up the mob with dogs. Ranschaert was taken to Memorial Hospital after suffering the injury on South Walnut Street in the general area where 50 to 100 Negroes battled police Sunday night and early Monday four hours. IN JACKSONVILLE, a white grocery store in a Negro neighborhood was dynamited Wednesday night and automobiles were damaged by thrown rocks and bricks. The violence began Monday night after Negroes participating in a march on city hall were jeered by whites. The fire-setting in Cleveland spilled out of the riot-scarred predominately Negro Hough district and into the northeast and south eluding the 1,500 to 2,000 National Guard troops deployed through the night and predawn hours. Four policemen rushing to the scene of the fire and shootings were injured in two patrol car crashes. The wounded were a woman and three children who witnesses said were trying to flee the scene of the fire in an automobile.

the principle involved, that the father will not fulfill his obligation to the child. If child support could be stressed as importantly as our city highways, and Government funds maybe unwed mothers would not have to go through all the unnecessary procedures they do. A child’s life is more important than our city’s highways. If child support could be looked upon as a means of help to a mother instead of just an illigitimate child being taken care of maybe some of our crime rates will decrease and it’s just a possibility that some of our sixteen and eighteen year olds, as well as older ones, will be more aware and precautious. The only way we will find out is to look at child support as a legal matter, not an illigitimate procedure to embarrass or condemn one or the other party.
