Why Census Figures Must Be CorrectedThe 1970 Census claim that it was

the "most accurate" is showing many

inaccuracies as Census officials now

estimate that the Census Bureaumissed about the same proportion of

persons in 1 970 - two percent of the

whites and ten percent of the blacks -

as it did in 1 960.

forms and other techniques couldhave been used. Defective Census pro-

cedures disproportionately will de-prive areas with large numbers ofblacks, Spanish-speaking and low in-

come persons from their proper re-presentation and many other oppor-

tunities.

Combining these figures means that

a ten per cent undercount a decade

ago indicates now that two million

blacks were missed, while a ten per

cent undercount in 1970 indicatesthat about 2.5 million blacks were not

counted. Blacks, therefore, stand to

lose more in the way of political re-presentation and financial assistancedue to the 1970 undercount thanthey did 10 years ago.

The two million blacks missed in

1960, alone, symbolized the loss of

five congressmen, scores of state and

local legislators, and innumerablelosses of fiscal aid to the black com-munity.

As of the present time the CensusBureau is not required to adjust of-

ficial census figures, no matter how

many persons it musses. Since the

Census Bureau acknowledges an un-dercount, there seems to be no good

reason why the official figures

throughout the nation should not be

adjusted accordingly, that is two per-

cent for whites and ten percent forblacks.' Then these corrected figures

should be used as the basis for poli-tical apportionment and for funding

at state and local levels so that the

financially hard-pressed inner cityareas can receive more of the benefitsto which they are entitled.

Census counts should not only bemore accurate, but with continuousshifting and moving of our popula-tion should be every 5 years at the

most. Advance planning for schools,hospitals, housing and other com-

Contrary to the many press state-

ments of census officials, responsibili-

ty for the undercount must be traced

to deficient census procedures and

not to black hostility.

The "Make Black Count" campaign

of the Urban League-funded Coalitionfor a Black Count proved that blackswere eager to participate in the censuswhen informed and that there was

munity services require more frequent

counts.

The compilation of accurate and re-levant statistics would be of greatest

value to our economy and to the na-tion at large. The need is greater

now that ever that the correctionof these inaccuracies and wrongs be

corrected.

more organized resistance to the cen-

sus from whites than from blacks.The Census should have employed

blacks and other minorities in the ad-

SOS Charrette Was A Good ForumThe SOS Charrette was a good

thing for the Durham community. Itrevolved around people to people dis-cussions concerning the school pro-

blems of our children. School pro-

blems were permitted to be aired by

any individual on any subject as he

attended the sessions.

that did something to them. Here peo-

ple to people was the focal point ofreference. People talked, fumed and

laid bare many of their innermostthoughts without such thoughts being

relegated to ridicule or absurdity.

People identified problems; people re-

fined problems and finally people

have offered possible recommenda-

tions to proper school officials in the

Durham community.

Interesting studies in human re-lations and the values inherent ingroup therepy were displayed in the

active participation of diverse groups

of Durham citizens in the SOSCharrette held at R. N. Harris Schoolthe past ten days. Intereaction among

the diverse groups at the Charretteoffered a sort of therapeutic interplay

People to people for better under-standing and improved human rela-tions is a must if we are to solve themany problems within our schoolshere and elsewhere.

John Avery Boys Club BuildingWelcome Reality

All citizens of the Durham com-

munity are pleased that the JohnAvery Boys' new club building is tak-ing form at last. The groundbreaking

at corner of East Pettigrew and GrantStreets on last Sunday attested to the

fact. We hope that no unusual cir-

cumstances will cause any delay ingetting this much needed facility

ready.

The value of the many and variedprograms offered by the Boys' Gubwill aid boys and youths in citizen-

ship building, educational,recrea-tional and other constructive activi-ties. This sorely needed facility willcontinue to offer the many activitiesand other necessary community serv-ices within the area as well as fromother areas, for boys and youths.

It is hoped that civic groups andother interested citizens willcontinueto rally around the John Avery Boys'

Qub and give it the needed financialsupport to continue its most worthy

programs.

UKIN6A SpgM^I saw a black woman, who at one time, threatened

to assault the district school superintendent with a tele-

phone, sit in on a school meeting with a (Clansman.

1 saw the president of the Durham Chapter of the

Ku Klux Klan work for ten days on a project with

"blacks and liberals."1 saw a member of the junior chapter of the Klan sit

in a mixed group of young people and adults and make

the statement that he was a racist and that integration

made him sick to his stomach.At the end of the ten day Save Our SchoolsCharrette,

I saw a black female radical and the president of the

Klan toast the success of the project.

1 saw the junior Klan member drinking, talking to,

and shaking hands with blacks at a mixed party.

I heard the black female radical offer assistance in

acquiring aid for poor white people, to the president of

the Klan.I heard the president of the Klan accept the aid and

state that he would be glad to work with her onfurther projects.

Thus ended the SOS Charrette. If nothing is accom-plished in the Durham School System, the charrettewillnot be a total failure. After seeing and hearing what

was done and said between people, not schools, onewalks away with the feeling that there may still be hope

as long as there are tongues which are not afraid to

move.During the charrette, proposals were adopted with

regards to the school, cafeterias, student involvement,student newspapers, student councils, and a further

variety of school-related problems. These things werewhat the charrette was all about. But, I can't help

but feel that they should take second place over the

fact that people from all walks of life came andtalked, They talked, at times they screamed theiranger, and they called names where they belonged.

And when it was over they had more understanding

for each other than when it began. This has to account

for something. Or have we gone so long without under-

standing that it no longer matters?Ann Atwater and C. P. Ellis came into this project

on totally opposite sides of the fence. They workedwith each other, with other members of the com-mittees, and with the press, laying bare their feelingsand their goals. They suffered ridicule and insults fromtheir respective groups, but they worked. They feltwhat they were doing was right and time has shown

that the person who is doing what he thinks is right isthe hardest one on earth to stop. They were not

stopped. They worked as their respective groups all butdisowned them. They worked when the people theyhad counted on, failed to attend their meetings. They

worked with discrimination, prejudice, and hatred onboth sides. And they succeeded. They put on acharrette that will be remembered. What they have done

will be blasted across North Carolina and possibly thenation. It has to make a dent in people's feelings.

The charrette is over for this year, but plans are al-ready being mentioned for its occurrence on a yearly

basis. Their people may not attend the next time, orthe next, but I would be willing to bet that Atwater

and Ellis will be there. These two people are the

means by which things are accomplished. If they can't

do it, it might not can be done, and if it can't, wemay not have a future.
