Roanoke Rapids Avenue paving signs rise across three streets
The Roanoke Rapids Herald notes growing support for a street paving program on Jackson Hamilton and Roanoke Avenue with most expected signers already in.

Contractor Labor Trouble Delays Mill Project
A group of Black laborers employed by C. M. Guest & Sons Construction Co struck yesterday for higher wages and shorter hours on a Rosemary Mfg Co mill building project in Anderson. About 25 were at first on the wrecking job. 20 refused to work as the strike continued. Some white workers remained at the site as the company said pay rates match those on two other state jobs.
