Keynoter ForStatementRegarding

By Asa Spaulding, Sr.Candidacy For Mayor Women's Event

Dr. John W. Karnes, assist-ant dean of the school of edu-cation at the University ofConnecticut, estimates that

"50 per cent of the peopletrained as teachers are not

teaching today."

Mrs. Margaret Moore Postwill be the keynote speakerat the opening banquet of

the Women In Action forthe Prevention of Violenceand its Causes workshop

April 16, Mrs. Asa T. Spauld-

ing, president, announcedthis week.

To my Friends The Citizensof Durham:

K..

tPAULDHM

In that statement I pointedout that one of Durham's greatneeds is more communityunity; more trust and less sus-

picion; more "pulling to-

gether" and less "pullingapart"; for united, 1 we standwith all benefiting; but divi-ded, we fail even in our bestefforts with all suffering the

consequences.It was also noted that the

position of Mayor affords asplendid opportunity to helpset the tone of the communi-ty; to provide a positive and

progressive leadership; to takethe government closer to thepeople and cause them to feelthat it is truly a government"of the people, for the people,and by the people." With this

being done, they would have agreater interest in protectingboth it and "the system." AndI believe this to be essentialto our sound acceleratedgrowth and to the properlybalanced development of ourtotal resources, - economic,natural, and human.

The response to the state-

ment was immediate. Thespontaneous phone calls,letters, post cards, and urgingsof the people who have spokento me on the street and in(See CANDIDACY page 2A)

When friends of minestarted suggesting to me overtwo years ago that I "run" forMayor of Durham, I dismissedthe idea promptly. Followingthe November, 1970 election,the urging from both races be-came stronger. I usually re-sponded with "thank you forthe compliment," but the urg-ing persisted.

Karnes headed a visitationcommittee of the NationalCouncil for Accreditation ofTeacher-Education which visit-ed North Carolina Central Uni-versity Sunday through Wed-nesday. The visits come every

ten years. N. C. Central is cur-rently fully-accredited.

In an interview during hisvisit, Karnes said that the factthat half the people trained as

teachers are not teaching is

"not necessarily a bad thing."

The two day affair willtake place at the DurhamHotel, April 16-17. GovernorRobert Scott will extendgreetings to the several hun-

dred women from across thestate expected to attend.

Mrs. Post, prominent India-napolis Anti-Crime Crusader.She will speak on crime andits preventions.

Finally, on March 9, I re-leased to the press, publishedin the Durham Morning Heraldon March 10, a statement inwhich I indicated that I hadbeen sufficiently persuaded toconsider the idea, and why Iwas considering it; but I alsoindicated that there were stillmany undecided questions inmy mind and several otherfactors I would have to con-sider before reaching a deci-sion.

He said that the situation is

"primarily a matter of econo-

mics," but added that the 50per cent figure includes many

women who have voluntarilyleft the job market, either per-manently or temporarily.
