It has fine churches of different denominations and three good schools which provide excel lent opportunities for the students. Wake Forest is also supplied with i a fine hospital and several rest 1 homes! The industries surround ing the town are an aid in its growth and development. The towtr is also aided by a good town gov ernment and excellent town serv ices. Wake Forest is also fortunate in having a supervised summer recreational program which pro vides enjoyment for people of dif ferent ages. By the combined efforts of the civic organizations and the citizens of Wake Forest these dreams can become realities. First place winners in the essay division will receive a $25 E Bond. Second place winners will get $10 and third place, $5. Essay winners: 7th - 9th grades— 1st—Minta Ay cock, 2nd—Durwood Powell, 3rd— Patricia Williams. I would like to remember Wake Forest as a small residential town instead of a large smoke filled industrial city. Wake Forest is a wonderful town now but could be made even better through the combined efforts of the residents. 10 - 12th grades— 1st— Debbie Neville (Other students in this group failed to submit essays and missed the prizes).

Filing deadline is noon April 18. for candidates FIRE WARNING ISSUED BY LOCAL FIREMEN “Shorty” Lee, president of the Wake Forest Rural Fire Depart ment, said Tuesday he was “beg ging” people to be careful with fires. The concern stems from the large number of fire calls recently due to carelessness. Extremely dry conditions have caused the State Forrester to cancel all burn ing permits until further notice. In addition, the Wake Forest Rural fire truck used for grass and woods fires is out of commis sion having the tank replaced. The potentiality of Wake Forest lies in the hands of its residents. It will be helped by the rapid growJh and development of the Research Triangle Area. The phe- nominal growth of Raleigh can also be an aid. The developemnt and improvement of Highway N. C. 98 could also be a factor in the progress of Wake Forest. The physical advantages are already here. All that is left is for them to be developed. I would like to see Wake Forest remain a small residential town. In its progress the population would not have to increase great ly. In my opinion, the business district is the area in the most need of development. There is a need for more entertainment facil ities to appeal to teen-agers so that more dating could be done in Wake Forest instead of Raleigh. I think a movie theatre is needed very badly but it must be one that could compare with Raleigh in the qual ity of its shows. The goals we have set can only be reached through cooperation. Wake Cross Roads Revival to Begin “Scouting is a growing, dynamic force in the lives of young boys”. Chairman Caldwell said, “And the Scout-O-Rama gives us the opp/r- tunity to show how Scouting Rounds a guy out.” The Wake Cross Roads Baptist Church, Route 5, Raleigh, N. C. will begin a revival on April 10, 1967 and continue through April 16, 1967, according to Rev. 0. W. Pul ley, pastor of the church. Services will start nightly at 7:45 p. m. Rev. Raymond Britton, from Vir ginia, will be guest speaker. The nursery will be open each night. Everyone is invited to attend. REV.
