PAPER EARLY NEXT WEEK Because of Thanksgiving Day Wake Weekly Out on Wednesday All News Must Be in on Monday TRe Wake Weekly —TWO PLAYS TONIGHT— Youngsville Senior Class Play Rolesville Junior Class Play Both at 8 P M in Auditorium And THE YO UNGSVILLE - ROLESVILLE RECORD Published For The Three Towns of Rolesville, Youngsville, and Wake Forest, And The Surrounding Communities in This Great Tobacco - Cotton Country Volume VI Wake Forest, Wake County, N. C., Friday Morning, Nov. 21, 1952 Phone Number — Dial 404-1 Number 46 Roving Around The Rolesville Junior Class is giving its play tonight (Friday) at the school auditorium at 8 o’clock. The play, “Everything Happens To Us,” is a comedy with some times tragic occurrances — but everything ends right. If you want to see a good play and have fun tonight, too, then come on out to see this play. Don’t forget the Youngsville High School’s Senior Play, “Com- uin’ Round the Mountain,” on Fri day night at 8 o’clock. Better go on over to see a good play. Correction .... Last week we made an error. We wish to correct it now — we said that Jake Hartsfield and La wrence Harris had offices togeth er. It should have said that Jake Hartsfield, insurance man, and Edward Paschal have their offices together, over Forest Furniture Co. We are indeed sorry for this error, and we ask that all readers take notice, please. The summer weather over the weekend makes one think of the springtime — which right now is so very far away — if it weren’t for one thing, the brown leaves a-falling all around. I believe that more leaves fell last week than in any other week of the fall period. That bit of indifferent information should make some kind of a record or something. Seems like every body and everything are making records, so why shouldn’t the trees. Reports have it that the new fire truck has arrived — hasn’t been confirmed yet, but we plan on getting a picture of it so that you all can see what it looks like. We hope that Harry doesn’t show too much to Ike on how to run a government, for two rea sons: (1) we don’t want Ike to get any “ideas;” and (2) we don’t be lieve that Harry can show any body how properly to run a gov- :rnment. Are we right? Went to the Duke-Deac game on Sat., and statistics and playing ibility said that the Deacs would A'in, but they just didn’t seem to je able to overcome the stiff and ;taunch Duke line when it came o the critical times. And we had 10 many injuries, too. Though statistics don’t prove it, ve heard that the game was dirty from the Duke side. There is evi- lence to back that idea up, thru he heavy number of Wake Forest njuries. Ball players don’t get lurt like that under normal wear ind tear on the field—— particular- y under the 2-team system. I would rather lose playing a Jean game than win a hundred imes playing off-color. Some chools believe that it is all right o cheat honestly. Others feel it 5 all right to play a little too rough f your side wins. We hope that we are wrong in lur observations! The Wake Forest Lions club is naking plans to have its Pasture fJontest Placque Presentation Din- ler on Monday night, Nov. 24, at lob’s College Inn. All Lions are irged to be present.

Rev Baker is a might- y fine papa; I hear he always fix es his formula, and feeding him personally-awfully proud of that son! Friday three young people from Draper, N. C.,-Roger Wright, Mary Lou and Stella Page came to visit with the Jones in the Church of God parsonage. Peggy Woodlief, Clara Baker, Carlton Jackson, Belle Weaver, Biggon Dixon, Theodore Wise got to gether and had a swell time at a party at the parsonage, playing games, and eating Mrs. Jones’ swell refreshments. Saturday the group went sightseeing in Raleigh and to church in Kenly Saturday night, where Rev. Jones was hold ing services. On Sunday the Drap er visitors were' joined by Mr. and Mrs. Price Wentz and Mr. and Mrs.. Jessie Smith from Concord to spend Sunday with the Jones, so the seams were almost split ting at the parsonage Sunday! Everyone had a swell time, and hope to visit Wake Forest again.
