At a meeting held at
Reynolds Cafeteria last
week, citizens of East
Winston expressed disgusr
with the actions of YWCA
officials. The meeting was
expected to be between
citizens of East Winston
and YWCA officials. To
the contrary, the only
YWCA representatives

were an employee and a

Renaissance campaign.
The purpose of the
meeting was to give East
Winston residents the opportumty
to ask questions
about the selling of the Patterson
Avenue YMCA
facility. Since the two
YWCA representatives
were employees and not
board officials, none of the
questions could be
answered.

Council, said that she

Pat McNeil, executive

at the rally.
In response to the charge
made by Vivcs, Warren
Brooks said that the cards
and letters were not meant
as threats to anyone.
Brooks Said, "the announcements
were wartimes
to people that will find
themselves in situations that
they might not want to be
in."
Dr. B.G. Golkhle, chairman
of the commission,
reported that he had received
similar post, cards and
letters announcing the rally.
The last letter he received
was dated \tay 27.
The entire episode evolved
from the dismissal of
Levi Gentry from the
Alcoholic Beverage Control
System. Lewis Cutwright,
head of the local ABC commission,
verified that Gentry
was dismissed on the
grounds of failure to
cooperate with investigation.
Brooks claims that
Gentry waC fired unjustifiably.

white man that got fired for
something that a black man
did; I have tried to be
honest and fair about this
situation, and gotten
nothing but the runaround,
now I plan to try other
means."
To date, Gentry has failed
to file an official complaint
with the Human
Relations Commission.
This is holding up the commission's
investigation.
The commission advised
Gentry,to get the fatts of
the case on paper by
meeting with commission
