Not enough time may have been spent in orientation and training. A lower class per– son will need additional guid– ance. His reading level may not have been adequate to fully understand directions. He may have had poor health due to inadequate medical care. Possibly he lacked reliable transportation or maybe his job was located far from the ghetto, Some 'well meaning in– dividual may offer this lower class Negro a decent job. He may never show up for work or if he does he may work for a few days and quit, (Some, of course, will suc– ceed). In most peoples' eyes the stereotype of the lazy Negro is thus confirmed. His fellow white workers may have made it gently clear that a "dumb" Negro was not wanted. Possibly he needed help in establishing new work at– titudes and habits, Possibly, he is not lazy; pcssibly you are partly re– sponsible. Have you pro- But WIN did he quit?

Have you told your boss and your fellow workers that you would be willing to work with a lower class Negro and help him become a responsible worker? Would you be willing to work under a Negro supervisor? Would you be willing to stand up and be counted and SUP– port promotions of Negroes based on their ability to do the job? Perhaps the problem is not primarily one of laziness but BARRIERS - barriers your fathers have helped to erect and which you maintain. In spite of these barriers about 30% of the Negroes have made their way to the middle ctass. Perhaps they should be given an award for EXTRA - HARD - WORK. One Negro leader recently said, "As you see us as lazy we see you as liars and cheats. We each have to admit to our bad thinking.'' THE HEART OF THE PRESENT RACIAL CRISIS IS THE NEGROES DIS– RESPECT OF LAW AND ORDER. Some people maintain that the pattern of non-violent demonstrations against un– just laws created an atmos– phere of disrespect for law and order and prepared t.he way for the serious riots of this last year. Violence is NOT the best way to solve social problems, but if all other means fail to achieve action violence may be neces– sary to force a change. A judge recently stated, ''It is senseless to keep calling for law and order until we first have justice." (Continued next week) In order for this program to be successful we need volunteers to teach Art, Music, and Drama, etc. We also need monetary contribu– tions for the scholarship fund and donations of supplies. There will be two meetings for VOLUNTEERS.

Advt., W. Vandever, Comm. Chm., 1916 N.E. Clackamas, Portlan When human rights were at stake, Robert Kennedy was there. He was there to en r o 11 James Meredith at the Uni– versity of Mississippi. He was there to ban segregation in the oosterminals and inter- . state ruses, and to prosecute voting rights and school desegregation cases. And to put through the historic Civil Rights act of 1964 which pro– hibited discrimination in public places and in employ– ment. And he was there to fight for the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Civil Rights Act of 1968. He's still there, at the front of the struggle for equal rights and equal opportunity. He's here working for full-year Head Start programs for all the needy children, for ed– ucation geared to the specific needs of the community and for the availability of grants and loans, so that lack of money doesn't keep anybody from having a college edu– cation. He is there trying to in– crease community action pro– grams so that the poor will have a voice in the decisions which affect them. Trying to find a way for everyone to Iive in a decent house and have decent health care. He's working for more jobs and better jobs so that the people who can work can have the dignity of a job in– stead of the indignity of a dole. He is trying to reform welfare so the only qualifi– cation is need. Robert Kennedy will always be there. Oregon for Kennedy Comm., John C. Beatty, Jr., Co-chairman. 907 S.W. Ader St., Portland.
