A reflective piece argues for identifying with the term Negro to counter malignment and highlight intellect and contribution. It recalls aiding a stranger from Alabama in Paris and urges seeing people as people beyond color, noting whites in southern cities fear whites more than Negroes.
A reader criticizes newspapers and media figures for invading privacy and misrepresenting individuals. He recalls personal damages from coverage about school fundraisers and a road project, arguing freedom of the press must yield to truth and individual rights. He invites Mr Williams to consider legal remedies and notes Louisiana’s 1812 statehood and early steamboat era.
The columnist warns of four major problems and the perils of anarchy and a vast nuclear-missile arms build up. The piece praises enforceable international law as a path for nations to manage their affairs and preserve culture without the burden of excess spending.
The Petal Paper published weekly by Host Publications Co. in Hattiesburg Mississippi. It is printed in Petal Mississippi and re entered at Pascagoula with second class postage.
