Tribute JPm TO LefiSL Share ■ '>F 1973 Ml Loftlin What constructive thoughts from the old year have you put into operation during these past 18 days of the new year? Don’t let me hear you say you have 347 days remaining, so why hurry. You never know what may happen in the next sixty minutes. Over the holidays I had the honor of attending a Christmas dinner presented by the Stewardess Board No. 3 of St. James Methodist Church in Titusville, Florida. I met a very mature lady in her seventies, President of the Board, who said something that keeps ringing in my ears. And I hope it never stops. She said, “God must have a reason for letting me live this long. There must be some good he wants me to do. I don’t know what it is, but I try to do something to help somebody everyday. Because I never know when he might call me to his side.” Now that is Black beauty. Here was a woman who had experienced more hardships than my mother or I would ever, and all she can think of doing is good things to help somebody. That was my thought to end the year and begin another. I hope we can share the thought. Just this week we paid tribute to a Black man, who, if there was ever to be a new Savior, he was it. I am speaking of Dr. Martin Luther King, truly a Black Moses. If you are having problems thinking of what you can do in 1973, just pick up on the philosophy of Dr. King and carry it out. Make his ideas and dreams come true, and we won’t need a National Holiday to honor his name. We will have fulfilled his dream - what better tribute can there be. * tu , ' '1 lA.

The Braxton’s met in 1920 when he came to Augusta from New York. At that time he was employed at the Pilgrim Health and Life Insurance Company and she was a school teacher at Craig Elementary. They were married in 1923. Rev. Braxton recalls that married teachers were forced out of schools and his wife took a position as a Jeanes Supervisor. This forced the couple to be separated except on weekends as Mrs. Braxton’s new job caused her to travel ail over the state of Georgia. The Braxton’s bought their first car Golden Anniversary REVEREND AND MRS. M.E. BRAXTON in 1923. Their first new car wasa 1940 Ford and the gears were shifted by foot. Mrs. Braxton earned the Master’s degree from Atlanta University and joined the Paine College faculty in 1944. She did further study at Ohio State University and New York University from where she earned the 6 year Professional Diploma, and is Associate Professor Emeritus at Paine College. Rev. Braxton entered the ministry in 1948 and was ordained in 1953. His first pastorate was at the Second Baptist Church in North Augusta.

Wilkins Terms Blacks In State Os Seige By George Vecsey American Negroes are under a state of siege launched by the “executive branch of the Federal Government,” according to Roy Wilkins, executive director for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. Wilkins made his statement before nearly 200 delegates to the N.A.A.C.P.’s annual meeting at the New York Sheraton Hotel yesterday. And many of the association’s state leaders i seemed to echo the pessimistic note as they faced a second term under President Nixon. “We used to be able to call Lyndon or John when things got bad,” said Aaron Henry, president of the Mississippi chapter. “But now we’ve lost the White House and the Attorney Central. And when Nixon appoints one more member to the Supreme Court, we’ve lost that, too.” In remarks following his speech, Mr. Wilkins said his greatest disappointment in 1972 was the Presidential election. He labeled Senator George McGovern “wishy-washy on the busing issue” and he accused President Nixon of fostering polarization between black and white by telling white voters they were “hard-working people” ( and not implying the blacks were not). With membership up by nearly 22,000 to 412,000 in 197?, and the treasury in good lai 1970. Commenting on the secret of their steadfast marriage, Rev. Braxton said, “You learn to give and take. Those things that she didn’t want, I didn’t bother with. It’s a matter of give and take. And we got along that way. We were able to manage. WALKER BAPTIST CHURCH The Walker Baptist Association CHOIR will be presented in concert on Sunday January 28, 1973 at the Williams Memorial C.M.E. Church. The concert will begin at 8:00 P.M. The choir consists of more than 100 voices. financial shape, the N.A.A.C.P. will not go into a “holding action,” Mr. Wilkins insisted, but would pursue a “cool” strategy in areas of education, housing and employment. However, delegates from the Deep South said they felt violence could be the result of President Nixon’s alleged policies. “After they hear Nixon’s code words, the whites in Mississippi say they don’t have the obey the laws any more,” said Mr. Henry, a long-time civil-rights activist and currently the only black state chairman in the Democratic Party. Situation Worse in Deep South “But it’s worse in the Deep South than up North,” said the Rev. Emmet Burns, field director in Mississippi. “Back home, it’s a matter of life and death.” Mr. Henry said he could see examples of black being attracted to more militant appeals as they felt cut off by the Administration. He cited the recent return to this country of Stokely Carmichael as possibly attracting angry followers. Mr. Wilkins devoted much of his speech to the claim that the Government has not fought for jobs for black workers. In later remarks, Mr. Wilkins repeated his opposition to the appointment of Peter J. Brennan, president of the State and City Building and Construction Trades Council of New York as Secretary of Labor. “Brennan has been a very real obstacle to the employment of blacks in the construction industry,” Mr. Wilkins said. The following members were elected to the Board of Directors for this year: Dr. Stephen Gill Spottswood, Washington; Dr. Charles Roquemore, Wellington, Kan; Mrs. Sarah Greene, Louisville, Ky.; Dr. Claude Hudson, Los Angeles; Matthew Perry, Columbia, S.C. Mrs. Irene Smith, Wenonah, N.J.; Leonared Woodcock, Detroit, and the Rev. Emerson J. Marcee, San Antonio, Texas. YOU CAN’T CURE CANCER WITH A MONKEY WRENCH.
