He re lated the instance of a group of Negroes, mostly children, who had been hauled by bus one steamy evening to a rural church. There they were ex horted by a civil rights leader, and coached by a television producer who told them exactly how to act when the cameras began to roll. “I saw with my own eyes,” said the photogra pher, “what was being done with these young, excitable people—and I decided that I would have no further part of it.” So he packed up and left. Ralph Toledano, writing in Human Events last week, told the story of a Southern Con gressman who recently called all of the major television sta tions and networks to advise that a group of his Negro con stituents had traveled all the way to Washington to present him with an American flag and to pledge their support to their country in the Vietnam war. The Congressman suggested that the networks might want to cover the event, if for noth ing else, to demonstrate that not all Negroes are obsessed with rioting and pillaging and looting. But not a single TV reporter, cameraman, or representative of the press showed up. They just weren’t interested. But every night and every day, television and newspapers are filled with coverage of every possible little racial dem onstration involving every tin horn civil rights “leader.” Fa natics like Rap Brown and Stokely Carmichael know how to get publicity. By preaching violence, they acquire status. Last March, when the David Brinkleys and the Peter Jen ningses and the Walter Cron- kites were out on strike there was a sudden drop in protest marches and civil rights dem onstrations. Mr. Toledano re ports that the television net works and the large leftwing newspapers had to turn down offers extended to them by various civil rights figures to set up demonstrations—if they could be guaranteed publicity. No publicity, no demonstrations —so things cooled off for a while. Closer home, back in the Summer when tensions reached their height at Durham, this station made the judgment that it would not take pictures of the demonstrations there. One or two other stations did, how ever, send photographers. It was obvious that the demon strators assembled by Howard Fuller were anxious to per form on television. One news paper reported that whenever the television cameraman’s light went on, the demonstra tors began to move into a high pitch of excitement. But after a night or so, when other sta tions joined this one in the policy of not offering pub licity, the demonstrators lost interest. So it is a fair conclusion that the news media, by pub licizing irresponsible conduct, have encouraged it. Some pious news executives claim that they “owe it to the public” to “cov er” the news. What they have been doing, of course, amounts to the provoking of disorder— which, it seems to us, is a very poor way to “serve the public.” The public can scarcely be blamed for becoming a bit fed up with it all.

Local 4-H ers have champions at State fair (By County Agent) Newberry 4-H Calf Club members again did themselves proud at State Fair this year. Thirteen of the 4-H members exhibited at the Fair and came home with an armload of rib bons plus a nice bundle of cash premiums. The highlight of this year’s trip to the State Fair was no doubt the Grand Champion A- ward of the 4-H Guernsey show won by Alice Lathrop. This year’s Guernsey Show was the largest and best in a good many years. In the two-year-old cow class alone there were 17 en tries. When the judging of the large class was finally com plete, Alice, with her cow, Myrtledale Star Dimple, stood in first place over entries from renown Guernsey farms such as Edisto Farms, Gippy Plan tation, Cross Arrow Farms and a host of other 4-H and Open Show entries. Alice and “Dim ple” then went on to win Sen i-or Champion over the first place cows of other 4-H classes and finally grand champion over the Junior Champion sel ected from the heifer classes. Seldom is a two-year old cow made Grand Champion in a large Dairy Show, but on this day Alice and “Dimple” were both “in bloom” and the Championship Award was rich ly deserved.
