WA«E WEEKLY ON SALE At Edwards Pharmacy Go In and Buy Yours Today “Your Hometown News” Wake Weekly NEW GLEN ROYAL NEWS By Mrs P A Collins, This Issue READ LETTER TO EDITOR About Recent Race Handbill Volume VI Wake Forest, Wake County, N. C., Friday Morning, June 27, 1952 Number 25 ffniiinv Around persons attend noving HTUunu p o s o, A dinner meet Will you be around here on the 5th. of July? Or will you have “gotten it” by your own careless ness on the highway? These grim words may hurt, but not so much as a fatal or crippling accident will in your family. It sure can happen to YOU — but please do not let it, by not taking any un necessary chances over the 4th. We understand theat the P H A low-rent housing project was not accepted by the Board of Com missioners on Tuesday night at a special meeting. This is, we feel, a sad blow to the progress of the town — though we are sure that the Commissioners who voted a- gainst it had ample reason for do ing so. Now, probably, Wendell and Zebulon will lose their oppor tunity to get low-rent housing. Don’t forget that Saturday is election day — second primary. Be sure to get out and vote. Do not let a candidate win the nom ination by default — yours.

Letter to the Editor Denies Race Handbill To the Editor: Because of the statewide publi city given to the circulation of a certain handbill in the recent Dem ocratic primary, and my alleged connection therewith, I am re questing that you publish the foll owing: The leaflet in question depict ed Hubert Olive, candidate for Governor, in company with an Asheville Negro" dentist, and posed two questions intended to in fluence voters by racial prejudice; my name was printed at the bot tom. The bill has been reproduced in the Raleigh News and Observer. It is my desire that the people of the State have these facts: The leaflet was conceived, printed, and distributed without my knowledge, aid, or consent. The use of my name thereon was totally unauthorized. The first in formation I had of the literature came to me when my attention was called to an article appearing in the News and Observer on the day after the bill was distributed. I promptly informed a reporter of that paper that I was completely innocent of the entire affair. My denial was printed the next day. The first copy of the leaflet that I saw was handed to me by an agent of the State Bureau of In vestigation. The gentlemen ques tioned me concerning its origin and my connection with it, and I absolutely denied any and all re sponsibility therefor. He departed, satisfied. I intend to repeat these facts in any and every trial on this matter in Kinston in which I may appear as a witness. This handbill represented a method which is not a part of my political creed and I do not now, nor have I in the past, nor will I in the future, condone it. I am glad that the matter is . being in vestigated. I sincerely hope that the responsibility will be properly fixed. I have no fear of investiga tion, for I am without fault. Sincerely yours.
