To Jones County Parents
Thu vakk among the newt item* tent to the Journal wit one from
the Jones Central’High School Chapter of the Future Homemakers of
America, and tacked in tins item is continuing evidence of the piotit
brainwashing that is being done at practically every cultural level to
the children of our state, nation end particularly of Jones County.
Among the "goalt" for tbe FHA this school year is “To promote good
will through getting to know our neighbors at home and abroad. Than
in the October through February program the first on the agenda is
“Prejudice: How Do People Get That Way?”, second on the agenda,
‘‘Your Human Rights,” third "Christmas Around the World."
The Journal is prejudiced against white people who are ashamed of
their color, and of Mack people who are ashamed of their color.
The Journal is prejudice against the schools, Churches, newspapers or
any other media of communication cultivating a simpering, pious collec
tion of apologists.
The Journal is prejudiced against people who accept and promote
the outright lie that the negro has been and is being persecuted in the
South.
The Journal is prejudiced against this subtle brainwashing of our child
r*n that goes on constantly, cleverly and effectively under our very noses.
Savannah Subdivision
In High State Confusion
Meetings, rumors and a few scat
tered, but hard to come by facts
are part of the high state of con
fusion that exists this week over
a residential subdivision for negroes
I that has been, or is being promoted
just between Savannah High School
and Savannah Baptist Church in
the upper part of Lenoir County.
Around the first of August J. C.
Langston granted a 90-day option
to Joe G. Henry of New Bern for
the 17 acre tract of land that was
to be subdivided and sold off for
residential lots between the two
large negro religious and education
al institutions.
A considerable number of lots
were sold — either on the basis of
a down payment or in a few. in
stances of cash payments in full
to Henry.
''' Kinston Surveyor Robert Strick
land was employed to lay out the
&**t«d «n- a
peaty, badly drained swamp area
that has never been felt to be of
value to anything except frogs and
mosquitoes.
On Saturday a mass meeting was
called for 2 p. m. at Savannah
Church to bring some light to the
problem.
The problem was the indictment
of Henry in Craven County ..on a
charge of embezzlement by his
former employer, Nationnwide
Homes, a distributor of “shell-type
homes” in Eastern North Carolina.
Thursday night Floyd Pledger,
New Bern manager of Nationwide
Homes, met with the Savannah
group and explained that his com
pany had no connection with the
option on the Langston property, nor
with the proposed subdivision plans
of Henry.
The embezzlement charges against
Henry have no connection with the
Lenoir County transaction, but
stemmed from alleged misuse of oth
er funds of the company.
Pledger asked Lenoir County
Sheriff Clay Broadway to furnish
him an escort to-the Thursday night
meeting, because of the reported
high feelings in the community over
the mixup and the absence of their
funds.
At the Saturday meeting a re
lative of Henry reportedly showed
up and waved a roll of money be
fore the gathering and told the in
vestors they had nothing to worry
■about, but none asked for and none
got his money back that had been
paid Henry for lots in the subdivi
sion.
The option from Langston to Hen
ry has not been exercised, nor has
it been recorded in the office of
Lenoir County Register of Deeds
Catherine Cooke. The option called
for the sale of the 17 acres of po
cosin land by Langston to Henry
for $500 per acre.
