Negroes Use City Golf Course Despite Attendant Refusal
The Blair Park municipal golf course hosted three Black men who played nine holes on Wednesday and Friday, paying green fees with cash and checks after the attendant said he could not authorize play. Golf pro Chuck Alexander reported the incidents and noted beliefs of unsubstantiated Sunday play. City officials and Mayor Covington expressed uncertainty and no action plan. Separately, North Carolina Governor Hodges announced an early start for 1955 budget bills based on the Advisory Budget Commission, with anticipated tax increases around 50 million dollars and a live TV broadcast of the State of the State address planned.
