Draws Mystery Shopper Pretty little Janis Hartsfield assisted by her big sister Judy, happily draws the winner of the “Mystery Shopper’’ from the pictures made in participating Wake Forest stores (those which are in the weekly “Friday Night Shopping’’ ad) last Friday night. The winner, who is not identified, is pictured in the “Friday Night” ad this week and will receive $5.00 in merchandise of her choice from the store where she is pictured. (Oops, we almost gave it a- way. The winner is a “she.”) —(Photo by Bob Allen) The Wake Forest Chamber of Commerce unanimously approved a motion by John Wooten, that the Chamber set the dues structure of a current $40 for all business and professional people who are eli gible for membership, and $25 |or non-professional with not more than one employee. Also in the motion was a move to erect an attractive sign in the town parking lot or other suitable area listing names of paid mem bership not later than September 1, 1967. The present dues range from $25 to $40 according to volume of busi ness, but this has not proven a satisfactory arrangement due to the lack of accurate figures avail able. Chamber President Tommy Hol ding told of a plan he has to get much-discussed N. C. Highway 98 improved between Durham and Wake Forest and possibly further. Interstate 85 from Greensboro to Durham is west to east. Holding said; then it takes a sharp 50 de grees turn to the north to Hender son and Richmond. 1-85 is a straight line from Greensboro to Durham and con tinues on via NC-98 to the Chesa peake Bay Bridge and is a highly traveled road. Holding said. The East Carolina issue stirred up a lot of political support, Hold- Despite 80c Out of Each $1 Spent Out of WF WF Merchants Report Last Friday Night As Best Yet ing remarked, and he felt that this project could also gain support. Holding said he proposed to write a letter to each town’s Cham ber of Commerce between Dur ham and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge asking each to go to their to get N.C. 98 on the Interstate system. “I think we could get it vastly improved and it would help Wake Forest tremendously,” President Holding said, and added that he had talked to Dr. Lake and Jim Gardner. The motion by Carlton Chappell that Holding prepare and send a copy of the letter as outlined, pass ed unanimously. Action on hiring a part-time sec retary was tabled temporarily al though it was pointed out that the Chamber handles 400 to 500 letters annually. The industrial brochure was dis cussed and Wooten reported that the ground work had been done, but all the latest statistics about the new water plant should be in cluded, he said. Carlton Chappell was appointed Chairman of the Industrial Com mittee and Watson Smith will head the Membership Committee. M'^ake Forest merchants are gen erally well-pleased at the way Fri day night shopping has caught on in Wake Forest, from reports at the Monday night meeting of the merchants conducted by Merch ants’ Committee Chairman John Lyon, and sponsored by the Wake Forest Chamber of Commerce. Several reported that last Fri day night’s sales were by far the best yet. Frances Brixhoff report ed, “Our Friday (including day and night) was better than our whole day Saturday.” The Conservation and Develop ment Department has released figures showing that $.80 out of $1 is spent out of Wake Forest by peo ple who live in Wake Forest. Tom my Holding said, “This is pitiful. We need to change the attitude. I’ve heard so many people say this promotion (Wake Forest Cash) won’t work and Friday night shop ping won’t work.” “We need to project a prosper ous image,” Holding added. Ra- Many people are lured to leigh through prominent advertis ing in daily papers. “People think they are getting a good price. One recently advertised item prominent Raleigh store was only 7c off the full retail price,” Hor ace Macon remarked. “Our meth od of advertising may be off.” PLEASE HEED OUR DEADLINES (Editor’s note: Due to the number of requests for news and ads to be published after the deadline, we feel it necessary to issue this reminder.) All news and ads (even classi fieds) must be in to The Wake Weekly office by NOON TUES DAY for publication the follow ing Thursday. Your cooperation will be ap preciated. A motion passed unanimiously that the “Vandals” be engaged for a j the first Friday night auction in the Wake Forest Promotion in Aug. ust. A country music band has also been lined up. Merchants are still looking for someone to emcee the Friday night auctions. Merchants will need a complete list of items to be auctioned off by next Monday night’s meeting. Three representatives of store front remodelers were present and ! spoke briefly. They will be making individual quotations this week. Some people never get interested in anything until it is none of their business. A woman’s promise to be on time carries a lot of wait. All that I am, or ever will be, I owe. DR. DONALD COOK Dr. Cook To Be Guest Minister In the absence of Rev. James G. Stertz, the 10:55 morning service at the Wake Forest Baptist Church July 23, will be conducted by Dr. Donald Cook. Dr. Cook is Assist ant Professor of New Testament at Southeastern Seminary. 6’ 7 ” Chicken Snake Raids Rabbits Mr. Lynam C. Franklin found a 6 ft. 7 inch chicken snake in his rabbit pen last week. It had crawl ed through the feeder and swal lowed four baby rabbits and could not get out. Mr. Franklin and Mr. Harold Swett found it and killed it. Luckily, The Trains Weren*t Running Lucky for the driver of this new car carrier, that a railroad strike was on when his big rig got hung up on the Elm Street tracks Mon day about 1 p.m. It took the assistance of a front-end loader trac tor (partially seen at rear) from the nearby Ready-Mix Concrete Co. to free the truck loaded with two pick-ups and one car. The car was headed for Chappell Motors. Many trucks of this type have had similar trouble when the drivers were not aware of steep grade. —(Photo by Bob Allen)
