When it’s finally time to retire, there’s a
chance your social security and insurance plans
just might not meet your needs. And an en
graved watch is scant consolation.
That’s why C&S is now offering special 614%
tax-sheltered Individual Retirement Accounts
for persons not participating in a retirement
plan where they work. New government regula
tions allow you to set up your own retirement
account ana make your own tax-deductible
contributions. As long as they remain in your

Commission for Racial Justice.
In February, he was invited by
ministers and Black
community leaders to assist
with the emergency situation
in Wilmington, which had
developed around a local
movement against racism in the
high schools.
Protesting students and
parents found themselves
subjected to threats and
attacks by white supremacist
vigilante organizations - the
Ku Klux Klan in the first place.

The switch is on.
The Citizens and Southern Banks in Georgia
After Rev. Chavis led a mass
march calling for an end to the
attacks and for negotiations
around the studepts’
grievances, the vigilante assaults
multiplied. Fires were set in
the neighborhood of the
church which served as the
movement's headquarters.
Shots were indiscriminately
fired.
Since the police consistenly
refused to protect the students
and their parents, the students,
supported by most of the
account, savings and interest are not taxable to
you until your retirement* And you can set
aside 15% of your earnings, to a maximum of
$1,500, yearly.
C&S has prepared a special brochure that
explains many of the details of how Individual
Retirement Accounts work.To get yours, just

defend the church themselves.
When a student was shot to
death by police as he tried to
extinguish a fire, the police
said the killing was
“justifiable.” But when a white
man was killed during shooting
initiated by vigilantes, the
national guard was massively
mobilized.
A year later, Rev. Chavis,
eight students and a white
woman community worker
were indicted. Tliey were
charged with arson, conspiracy
to assault emergency personnel
and criminal responsibility for
the damages resulting from the
vigilante siege.
The Wilmington Ten
indictment was returned in
March, 1972. During this time,
so many charges were lodged
against Rev. Chavis that he
now confronts the absurd
prospect of a two-hundred year
prison term. It appears that
there is a conscious conspiracy
to forever rid North Carolina
