BY THE WAY
(Continued from page 1)
In Hertford, North Carolina,
the network photographer fin
ally had enough of it. 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.
