Two Local
Stores are
Robbed
Two Wake Forest stores were
broken into and the cash regis
ters robbed only four days apart.
Hollowell’s Food Store on Roose
velt Ave. was robbed of $6 last
Wednesday night after the front
door glass was broken to gain en
try.
A small colored man or teen-
aged boy was seen around the
doorway about 9 pm by several
persons according to reports.
Police were called from Dr. Dic
kens’ office, but due to incorrect
direction the police thought the
break-in to be at the B & E Clean
ers. When they learned of the mis
take and went to Hollowell’s the
thief was gone.
John Lyon, owner and manager
of Hollowell’s, said more loss was
incurred in the broken glass than
in money taken.
The Western Auto Store on S.
White St. was broken into and rob
bed of $68 about midnight Sunday,
according to owner-manager Paul
Brixhoff.
A panel in the rear overhead
door was broken out to gain entry
and exit.
Brixhoff said he is re-enforcing
the door with steel bars.
The robbery was discovered by
Police Officer Maurice Cooper at
1:20 am when he checked doors.
A light right over the door
didn’t scare the thief who is be
lieved to have broken the door
as a train went by .
Bloodhounds were brought here
but thby lost the scent on the
railroad tracks near Holding’s
warehouse.
Town Attorney Ellis Nassif was
asked to draw up a letter of the
Town of Wake Forest’s agreement
to certain terms presented to the
board by developer Ira D. “Shor
ty’* Lee in a special meeting May
18.
Nassif was asked to draw up the
letter in a motion at the regular
monthly meeting of the town board
last Thursday night, following a
statement by Mayor Paul Brix
hoff, “I think we all agree we need
the houses. I think we should go
ahead.’’
The houses would be located in
a 142-acre sub-development on
Stadium Road where “Heritage
Valley” was to be located several
years ago, but reportedly, was nev
er started because of lack of fi
nancing. About 20 to 30 houses
would be built each year of the to
tal 250 to 300.
The questions presented May 18
were as follows:
1. Will the Town of Wake Forest
allow us to tap on to water and
sewer lines?
2. Will the Town of Wake Forest
run water and sewer lines to town
limits?
3. Will the Town of Wake Forest
give me a letter stating that they
will annex and maintain street im
provements? This will consist of
water lines, sewer, storm drains,
curb, gutter and paving. This will
be done in sections.
4. We will put in our own water
stub-outs for each lot. What will
water connection be?
5. We will stub-out our own sew
er connections to each lot. We
assume there will be no other sew
er connection charge. Is this cor
rect?
6. Will the Town of Wake For
est assume responsibility of lift
station when installed?
7. Will the Town of Wake Forest
reimburse us for sewer lift station

Story Hour Held
Every Wednesday
A story hour for children aged
three to six will be held each Wed
nesday at the Wake Forest Public
Library from 10:15 to 11:00 am.
Mrs. Turner Ray of the Wom
an’s Club Education Dept., is in
charge.
Parents are requested to have
children there by 10:10 and pick
them up promptly at 11:00.
Some renovations have already
been made at Wake Forest Swim
ming Pool No. 1, since some com
plaints were heard last week.
Brighter lights have been in
stalled in the men’s locker room
as well as a new floor and nozzle
in a shower booth.
Mayor Paul Brixhoff said this
week, they plan to remove some
of the unusued lockers to eliminate
some of the blind spots.
Utilities Director Guy Hill an
nounced that Youngsville High
School Coach Larry Lindsey has
been hired by the town of Wake
'F<,:(fest as head lifeguard at the
pool. Freddie Daniel and Ralph
Brown are lifeguards, with Cecil
Shearon filling in for Brown this
week.
A demonstration for the Wake
Weekly Monday by Hill of chlorine
content in the pool revealed that
the water was well within the nor
mal level, and not over-chlorinat
ed, contrary to some reports.
In fact, the chlorine check ap
peared slightly under the average
range, to this reporter.
The chlorine is put in the water
at the filtering point automatically
at any pressure by merely setting
the amount desired and it stays
there, Hill pointed out.
on pro rata basis of houses com
pleted each year up to 100 houses?
“We feel right now this (lift)
station is going to run about $10,-
000. If it is over $10,000, that’s
all we will ask for.” Shorty stated.
Utilities Director Guy Hill re
ported that he got a footage and
cost estimate of running a sewer
line from Highway 98 to the devel
opment. It would take 4100 loet
of 8-inch pipe at a contract cost of
about $6.50 per foot.
. “You will have invested about
$3500 in water lines to the city
limits, “Hill said.
“We’ll have about $15,000 invest
ed, “Commissioner Buddy Holding
said. This included about $10,000
for the lift station since it would
be much cheaper than the sewer
line all the way to Highway 98 at a
cost of $26,650.
The engineering of Pierson and
Whitman will be ready to ask for
bids in August on the new water
plant to be located at the Wake
Forest Reservoir, Hill said.
Bids were opened Thursday
morning for electrical reclosers
and regulators and the success
ful bidder was General Electric
who had three voltage regulators.
These were shipped Thursday from
Indiana.
The Town electrical crew will
start next Monday putting up some
new wires. Hill reported.
Commissioner Holding was elect
ed mayor pro-tem by a nomination
made by Commissioner John B.
Cole. It was seconded by Com
missioner John D. Lyon and pass
ed unanimously.
Two representatives from South
erland Co. appeared before the
Board to present a proposal to the
town to erect a mausoleum in the
Wake Forest Cemetery.
They said three reasons for the
erection of their attractive mono
lithic designed structure were: (1)
Wake Forest is running out of
cemetery property; (2) There is

“We’re painting street mark

A discussion of installing drain
pipes in a drainage ditch in the
recently cleared Holding lot on
South White St., which drains 6000
to 7000 gallons per day from tne
filter plant, brought several com
ments when it was learned that it
would cost about $1200.
“I think we ought to forget it,”
Hill said. “We could put in a smal
ler one later when the new water
plant is finished.”
A well-meaning, but annoyed,
visitor and former resident, James
Mackie, spoke to the board about
his unpleasant experience at the
town pool July 4, “when it was
overflowing, you might say.”
He described the locker room
as “smelly.” He found a bowel
movement in one of the shower
stalls, no flooring in another, and
no nozzle in the third. The room
was “awfully dark and dim.”
Outside, the “pavement was all
cracked” and the pool “looked like
it needed a good scrubbing.”
The water appeared to be “over
chlorinated and the floor was slip
pery,” he said.
“If anyone fell, I think you
would find yourselves in a mas
sive law suit,” he added.
“Quite frankly, I would not take
my children down there," Mackie
said. “If other people feel like I
do, the attendance will be going
down.”
With a few improvements “you
will find yourselves getting a lit
tle more income. This is four peo
ple payijig jfior four djays that
you’ve lost.”
And in conclusion, he said, “I
thought I would bring it to your
attention.”
UF Campaign Chairman
Named, Goal Is $665
John B. (Jack) Harris, Jr., Sen
ior Vice-President of the Raleigh
office of North Carolina National
Bank, has been named Chairman
of the 1967 Wake County United
Fund Campaign. His appointment
was announced by Stanley J. Wie-
mer. President of the United Fund,
who is Resident Vice-President of
Nationwide Insurance Company.
Jack Harris will lead this fall’s
drive to raise $665,479 for the 34
United Fund agencies. The goal
was set after considering the rec
ommendations from the Admis
sions & Budget Committee. This
committee, headed by Thomas N.
Brafford, Senior Vice-President of
Ernst & Ernst, was comprised of
111 business and civic leaders,
who studied the programs and
budget needs of the agencies and
evaluated the community’s ability
to support these services.
President Wiemer said he feels
this is a “Reasonable goal for this
community”, and that the citizens
will support these vital needs
through our campaign.
The goal is an increase of $35,-
614, or 5.6% over current United
Fund support to agencies. Pres
ident Wiemer said all agencies are
experiencing an increase in de
mands for service due to the popu
lation and business expansion of
Wake County; and in particular.
Red Cross and USO must expand
their services to meet the needs
of our military personnel serving
in Viet Nam.
This Rose Has Two Stems
This rose, owned by Julie Rogers of S. Taylor Street appears at
first glance, to be like any other rose. A closer look, however, re
veals a 14” stem growing out of the center of it. That hand belongs
to her neighbor, John Lusby. —(Photo by Bob Allen)
