Heard over TV, "The onion
is the fMtt unhappy vege
table."
Was recently reading a write
up on the new show on Broad
way, The Owl and The Pussy
Cat. The commentator Ad not
give it a good recommenda
tion, stating that it was not as
good as a Television show, be
cause you could turn the Tele
vision off.
Earl Wilson quoted Arnold
Glasgow in saying, "The Chris
tmas toys being shown this
year are so simple they can be
operated by any child and
some parents."

Ministers Make Statement
Concerning Racial Tensions
On November 21, 1964, three ti
white ministers and six negro r
ministers, representing the ma- tl
Jot denominations in the area, ti
met in Rose Hill to discuse the 0
racial tensions prevalent in n
this area. Hie main purpose
being to focus the Christian tj
persepctive on the existent ra- e
cial situation between the white n
and negro citizens of Rose Hill e
and the surrounding comraun- e
itjr. II
After considerable discussion ii
concerning the manifold events B
which have transpired within tl
recent weeks and in the light tl
of what is no wexisting among if
the residents of this area, the G
ministers came to the follow- g
ing conclusions: a
(1) R is regrettable that a a
group of irresponsible Individ- if
uals under the guise of an al
truistic organization met on t
October 91st and made blatant t
and unchristian pronounce- v
ments concerning racism. t
(9) R was felt, by all pres- c
ent, that the above demonstra- }
tion did not represent the ma
jority or near majority of the t
responsible members of said t
community as to their feelings, i
concepts or attitudes toward <
the negro dtizeus. However, be <
it further stated that the minis- ,
srial meeting recognizes the
Ight of assembly granted by
lie constitution of this coun
ty not withstanding the good
r bad influence the assembly
lay have upon the community.
(3) It was agreed by all that
lie "boycott" was the only
ffective means by which the
egro element could effectively
xpress their feelings in refer
nee to the meeting of the Ku
llux Klan, even though many
nnocent people, both white and
egro, were hurt. Moreover,
lie ministers took cognizance
bat the boycott can go beyond
Is original purpose and be
ome a tool of the "hate
;roups" to foster further re
entment among the reopon
ible citizens of this commun
Ijr.
(4) It was resolved by all
hose present, that the situa
Ion has reached the point
rhere positive steps should be
aken to amend any or all un
heritable feelings now preva
il) (It was resolved) That
he highest of Christian virtues
ibould be manifested in the
eaders of the negro and white
dements; that reasonableness,
sornmon sense, and genuine
-espect, as befitting men un
ler God, should exemplified at
ill times, whether it be at a
neeting discussing the welfare
if a community or on the
itreets of a town.
In summary, it was agreed
>y all that if a community is to
ndst with a sense of well bo
ng, then Christian concepts
must be taken out of the sanc
tuaries and be put to work in
the market place.

RETROGRESSION
Of all the sad and dlsguest
Ing things that could befall a
small community would be the
Invasion of that hate organ
ization known as the K.K.K.
that happened on Halloween
Night in Rose Hill. It was
compared to the Valentine
Massacre in Chicago many
years ago where the think
ing class refused to rise up
and crush the evil image that
will never be forgotten in
our time.
The utter helplessness of
the people of color who were
berated so mercilessly decid
ed to bow to the wishes of
the Klansmen and their sym
pathizers
THE NEGRO OBEYS!
It was allerged that the
streets wouldn't be safe for
life and limb for people of
color.
Ninety-five percent of the
people graciously decided to
let them have their paved
streets, since ours are pur
posely neglected.
Anoymous calls were made
to Negroes' homes on that
some night, telling them to
stay hone for they would be
there at a designated hour.
Some homes were threatened
to be burned if they voted for
Lyndon B. Johnson. Approx
imately 15 such calls were
made; however, Negroes voted
98$> for L.RJ.
Many of us are part of the
town because we pay taxes,
even though we don't get the
services due a tax-paying cit
izen, such as lights, sewage,
streetmakers, drainages and
pavement. Rose HiQ is the
only town in Duplin County
that does not have some paved
street in the Negro section.
As of this writing the Mayor
nor any of the town's board
has made any comment.

At a coroner's inquest held 1b
the Duplin County Courtroom
at Kenansville Friday after
noon. the Jury empaneled by
Coroner Hector McNeill, retur- j
ned a verdict that Helen Marie
Whaley "came to her death by
strangulation at the hands of
Linwood Quinn Brooks, by his
own admission."
Brooks, 20, waived prelimin
ary hearing and was ordered -9
held in the county Jail without
privilege of bond for the Jan
uary IS term of Duplin Super
ior Court, Judge Chester Mor
ris of Coin jock presiding. He
will be tried on charges of
rape and first degree murder.
Dr. O. L. Redwine testified ?;
that he examined the body
about 3:00 o'clock on Saturday
morning, and that the cause of
death was strangulation. Tests |
made by Dr. Redwine showed *-i
that Miss Whaley had had sex
ual relations.
Deputy Sheriff Graham
' Chestnutt, who brought Brooks
to Jail Friday night, testified
that Brooks told him that he
raped and killed Miss Whaley.
Chestnutt said that he asked
him again if he said "raped,"
and Brooks replied, "She's
dead. I just as well say that
I raped her, everybody will
say I did."
Hugh Sanderson, Magnolia
policeman, related that Davis
Drew, 20, and the Brooks boy
came to him about 12:15 Sat
urday morning and related
their story. .He went with them
to see and found the dead wo
man lying Jfi her hank with'
one arm ext Hided out from
ft her and the other under her
body. He testified that her
skirt was up to her waist and
that her lips looked as if they
had been "chewed." Her blou
se was found knotted around
her neck.
Miss Whaley apparently left
her home earlier Friday even
ing with Miss Ann Brooks, a
sister of the accused, and later
stopped with her at a grill near
Rose Hill.
Drew, Brooks, L. E. Brown
and Benny Carroll Kissner had
been to Wallace, where they
purchased a case of beer, div- ^
iding the cost between them.
