Mr.^Staley's lease expired because ^^T^fused to attach his equipment to tfeeJLerms of t?he lease, (a ctaidition not icquiiru ui lvn . otmey J Mr. Wiseman was able to survive the economic crunch? which causetf several businesses in his immediate area to fold. Just when Mr. Wiseman was beginning to get it together by paying off the inheritance taxes due on his equipment, ^Mrs; Citron gave him until January 31 to Plot to Disc Dear Editor: _ In 1976 Ebony Magazine ran an article discussing what appeared to be a " national conspiracy by White people to discredit filacks in this country. After reading the Winston Salem Journal . and Sentinel the, last few '-^^weeks, I am convinced that our largest city news paper shows a breach of responsibility when they publish articles in length discussing allegations, inuendos and half truths aboutf Black citizens before they have a chance to go trial. A man is legally innocent until proven guilty by a court of law, and the public should be keenly aware of this principle. There is absolutely no need for the Sentinel to publish a large column stating unfounded charges^, about a Black citizen then in =- - the same column -quote a-eky?= official saying that there was no proof of the allegations. There is no good purpose in - - Crime is Set Dear Sir, We are at present without funds to pay for this ad but after you oread it and see what we are trying to accomplish, maybe you could lend us a hand. Crime and what to. do to reduce crime is probably the worse problem that today's society faces. The Jaycees have always reacted against the problems of our society. We strive to better the world we live in. Recognizing crime as a problem. WViflt mnkp.9 n nprcnn commit a crime? This is a question most of the public don't stop to think about.

Northside's customers are over 75% black. The community should demand that Mrs. Citron reaccess hpr position and extend Mr. Wiseman a long term lease r so that he may reap the .fruits of his toil during the recession. It she doesn't, Ican't think of a more appropriate tribute to Dr. King on his birth than for the citizens of Winston-Salem to? "take to the streets'- and?find another place to shop. Tracy_T.

XV appears to me that good judgment and ethical standards would dictate that if there is an investigation, then a brief statement to that affect could be made but all other | unproven allegations should be left to the courts to decide. Otherwise, what you have done is to hold a trial in the news papers using public opinion as the jury. I am asking that all Black citizens be aware of what is going on. Do not judge people on the basis of what you read in the news paper, but withhold your judgment until the case eoes to trial and the person is proven guilty or innocent. We cannot permit the White mans controlled news media _,t,o control our minds and thwart our effort to stand together.

We members of the Randolph County J.C. has come up with a Project "Help Prevent Crimes" that will enlighten the public on what queson in the person mind that committed the crime by getting the inmates to talk about their crimes why they committed it, and the consequences they have?suffered for the commission of the crime.
