Roanoke Rapids Labor Temple tale sparks town debate
The Roanoke Rapids section denounces false press reports about a labor temple celebration. A June 13 item claimed a large out-of-town turnout and notable speakers who were not present. The town stresses small turnout, clarifies the temple’s true status, and rejects unfair publicity. It also notes local news on Frank C. Williams’s arm injury and Leslie G. Shell's confirmation as Roanoke Rapids postmaster with final Senate approval.
