Dialing those three digits will automatically con nect the caller with the county emergency dispatch er, who will send the needed help. The new system, which went into use ^pt. 1, should help reduce the amount of time it takes emergency per sonnel to respond to a crisis situation and cut down on false alarms. The system can receive 27 incoming calls at one time, so the dispatcher is able to hold a line until the emer gency vehicle reaches the scene. If the call is a false alarm, the phone company can then trace the call. Battle commemorated Another community ser vice that has gone into effect with the 911 system is a teletype communication ma chine for the deaf. This unit uses phone lines to transmit written messages for help. The dispatcher will be able to answer the deaf caller, if he or she owns a unit, by typing a message through the phone line that will appear on the person’s home machine. The Battle of Lindley’s Mill was commemorated Sunday afternoon, Sept. 13, the 200th anniversary of a Revolutionary battle fought in Alamance County. Several Elon College peo- 'ple worked on an audiovi sual program dramatizing the battle and the events leading up to it. Evan Setzer III, an Elon student, ap peared in the program. Dr. Lamar Bland, chairman of the Department of Litera ture, Language and Com munications, was a narrator. Drs. George and Carole Troxler, history professors, wrote the script and helped produce the program. It was shown several times at Spring Meeting House after remarks by Congressman Eugene Johnston. In addition, the Guilford Militia, the Revolution^ re-enactment group which appears in the audio-visual program, was encamped on the battle site nearby. We’ll do your laundry.

Ironically those legendary shoes belonged to his own brother, Bobby Hedrick, who had romped his way into the Fighting Christian record l^k and national prominence as the all-time leading rusher in NAIA history. It was amazing that the freshman tailback was able to run at all with that heavy weight on his shoulder. Yet Hednck turned in a fine debut with 64 yards rushing on 14 carries to prove to future Elon opponents, who thought they were through with the Hedrick menance, that they must contend with the problem for another four years. Help On Tbe Way Yet Hedrick will not carry the entire burden for the Elon running game as his brother sometimes had to do. The emergence of sophomore runningback Fred Jordan not only assures that the Fighting Christians will enjoy a balanced attack, it also gives Elon the luxury of having two different threats. While Jordan has proved to be a durable back, he is more suited for outside running. His speed reflexes make him a fine open-field runner. Hedrick, like his brother, seems to excell mainly in inside running or “getting the tough” yards. Strength and balance are his great assets. Those assets will come in handy against SAC-8 defenses that have been stubborn against the run in recent years. While a first-game performance doesn’t accurately measure the worth of a back, Jerry Hedrick did prove that he inherited the family’s talents and that Elon football could not have sole possession of another Hedrick legend.
