of Greensboro, prominent through
.out ..the,south. has been* secured-as

Dr. Myers, now pastor emeritus!
of the First. Presbyterian church
of Greensboro, has gained recog
nition all over North Carolina
through radio sermons. He was
active pastor of the First church
from 1918. until 1944. It was large
ly through former members of his

Cooper Store
Section Fails
With Demand
' ■ Request Qf a, delegation from the
'Cooper Stpre section near Orange
Grove was denied last week by
the County Board of Education
that 15 children be permitted to
leave Orange Grove school and
come to Hillsboro.
Request was made on the
grounds that the Hillsboro school
offers more conveniences than the
school at Orange Grove, the lunch
room being one of the main draw
ing cards. A bus which brings high
school pupils from that community
to Hillsboro is already transport
ing children in the* elementary
grades as far as the Orange Grove
school, making an eight-mile trip
extra to. take them to Orange
Grove. The delegation asked that
these children be allowed to contin
ue on the bus’ regular route to
Hillsboro.
The request was denied because
teachers have already been allot
ted each school* in proportion to
the number of pupils and such a
change would involve, a grqat
amount of shuffling. Changes will
have Ho be made before the term
starts next year if there are to be
changes.
Two children from the Cooper
section who are already coming to
Hillsboro were allowed to continue
here.

Zelma Andrews
Gets Discharge
Miss Zelma Andrews, daughter
of Mr. and ~Mrs/Jairies I. Andrews
of Rt. 3, Hillsboro, was released
from the Navy last week with 30
and one-half points to her credit.
She was a pharmacist’s mate, sec
ond class, WAVE, at the time her
discharge came through and had

the Naval Hospital in Portsmouth,
Vsf., as an X-ray technician.
Miss Andrews graduated from
the Hillsboro high school and at
tended Churchland Teacher’s
^Training School near Salisbury.
She worked for a nose and throat
specialist in Washington, D. C.,
before entering the service and

ment and uniforms. Support of all
parents, whether they dance or
not, is needed if the dances are
to be a success.
. Furnishing music will be Floyd
Couch and his Midnight Ramblers

Hillsboro, school has had much
to boast of during the years in
connection with its various teams.
Football season is now in full swing
with much money needed to equip
the boys properly. Soon basketball
season will be opening, and the
old equipment is wearing out.
These dances are seen as a meth
od for supplying needs of the ath

at the same time.
Ten Boys |
Will Get
Free Pig
Ten Orange farm boys are go
ing to have a registered female
pig in their possession soon with
out paying a cent for the owner
ship. The Chapel Hill Rotary Club
voted last Wednesday to present
as a gift ten pigs to ten boys. The
pigs are absolutely free with only
one conditional clause attached,
that clause stipulating the sows
must be bred to a registered boar
and one female from the first lit
ter be returned to the Rotary Chib.
And who is to get the pigs? A
group composed of two members
of the Rotary rural-urban acquain
tance committee, Dr. George Chris
man and Lloyd Roof, County
Agent Don Matheson and the school
authorities will decide.
Boys wishing to apply for one
of these pigs should see their
school principal or one of the
above mentioned men immediate
ly. If there are disappointed appli
cants this yesir, they will have a
crack at securing a pig next year.
The plan, modeled after success
ful pig rotation in Lincoln and
Vance counties, Will be a con
tinuous, year-alter-year thing.
Iff Lincoln comity, where a sim
ilar project wjas initiated some
years ago, pig stock in the county
has gone up with more than 1,000
brood sows now registered, each
one of them a descendant of the
original gift pigs.
The Chapel Hill Rotary Club
added two members recently.
They were Rufus Wooten^ photog
rapher, and Roy Barham, whole
sale producer. This gives the
club a membership of 54. Always
active, this year the club is going
full-speed ahead with many worth
while projects, not the least of
which is the newly proposed pig
rotation and multiplication plan.
The rural-utban acquaintance
committee has been especially
active, a supper with members of
the Orange church community
about a month ago one of its con
crete accomplishments.
Speaking to the Rotary Club last
night was David Arthur, manager
of the Carrboro., branch of the
Pacific Woolen »|pl^rti*HC ex
plained the difference in woolen
manufacturing as Compared to
other textiles, and his speech was
thoroughly enjoyed by all present.
Fire Drill
Backfires
An impromptu fire drill was held
at the Hillsboro high school Tues
day morning with seven of the
volunteer firemen on hand to dem
onstrate the use of a hose and the
tactics of putting out a fire. The
fire bell rang and all students
marched out, after which firemen
sprayed water on the. grounds for
a few minutes.
..In the process of connecting the
hose to the fire hydrant in front
of the school, th'e valve broke and
the hose had to be connected to
ttkft-hydrant in front 6f O, E. Biv
ins’ house.
Volunteer firemen at the scene
were M. L. Cates, Jr., Alton Wil
liams, T. N. Webb, Seth Thomas,
Chandler Cates, J. L. Brown, Jr.,
and Ralph Thomas, with the town’s
day policemen patrolling the
grounds.

civilian work with the Army at
Panama for the past four years,

with Mr. and Mrs. G. G. Bivins.
Tire Situation ‘Ain’t9 Good
The tire situation looks bad
from any angle. There are more
applications in at both Chapel Hill
and Hillsboro ration boards than
can possibly be filled. Tire dealers
don’t have any tires in stock to
sell when a 'certificate is granted
by the boards. Here’s the way the
situation stacked up at the first
of the week:
Hillsboro—There were 155 pas
senger tires allotted the ration
board. Total applications m for
passenger tires were 261, 175 of
them left over from last month
and 86 already in for October.
Last month the board’s quota was
222 tires, which is 67 -more than
this month’s quota, and even with
that extra amount, 175 applica
tions had to be earned over to
October.
A’long list of prospective cus
tomers is on file at Western Auto
Associate Store. These a?* P®®'
pie to whom the board issued cer
tificates last month and who have
not been able to buy tires now
that they have the approval* of
Spa Robertson’s Oil Company
does not have a list because there
the fact has simply been stated,
“No tires,” and people desiring
to buy turned away.
Chapel Hill—The same number
of tires as was granted the Hills
boro ration board is Chapel Hill’s
quota this month, 155. Last week
the board issued 45 tires, and
there are still 123 applications on
file. Outstanding problem of this
board is to furnish tires to the
rapidly departing naval officers
who have to leave under orders
and must have tires to move their
families.
Reports from persons to whom
certificates have been issued say
that by shopping around a tire
may be found. One dealer may
have one tire in stock, and if the
lucky certificate holder gets there
in time, he buys the tire.
Dealers place the blame for this
shortage on two factors, one fac
tor a result of the other. Strikes
in the nation’s rubber concerns
have tied up tires, and state ra
tion boards, expecting fuller tire
production with war’s end, over
issued certificates last month.
There should be a let-up soon on
: . ' '? ^ f - /
--1--:; *-t:-i* . r .
the number of tires available to
dealers. Just how much longer
ration boards will have more ap
plications than tire quota permits
them to fill is anybody’s guess.
A bulletin from state OPA head
quarters in Raleigh says that work
for people of the local War Price
and Rationing Board tire panels
has been made more difficult re
cently because applications are not
being filled out properly. This bul-'
letin makes the plea that only the
most essential drivers apply and
then only in the cases of direst
need. Those that must apply, con
tinues the bulletin, should fill out
the forms properly or face delay
in getting action on their appli
cations,

New Cleaning
Plant Opened
In Hillsboro
Hillsboro, after over a year of
boasting no local dry cleaning es
tablishment, has the Ideal Dry
Cleaners now which opened Mon
day for business in the old Q''
mobile garage on the road to Fair
view. All work must be cash and
carry for awhile, buL**N*£p$
etors, T. R. Cox and S. J1. Towers,'
hope to install a truck route after
their cleaning plant is thoroughly
launched.
Cox and Powers both come here
from Lumberton, Cox with over
10 years of dry cleaning experi
ence behind him. Both men hope
to move their families to town as
soon as they can locate a place
to live.
Equipment for the plant was
purchased in Morganton. It is sec
ond ‘hand, but in good condition.
Waiting for priorities to go through
for new equipment would have
necessitated a delay of from 60
days to six months, and with clean
ers from several other , town plan
ning to move into Hillsboro, Cox
and Powers got the jump on them
by not waiting for the red tape of
OP A to be unraveled.
Dumont Shows

bringing the Dumont Shows to
West Hillsboro on.Oct. 15 where

the town in which the shows ori
ginated, this carnival has been in
operation for 15 years.
South Hill, Va., was last stop
over of the carnival.
There will be about 20 conces
sions and six rides. A free show
will be given nightly by “Fear
less Freddie," the dare devil who
stands on his head on, of all places,
the tip of a teetering high pole.
Children will be given reduced
rates on the last day of the car
nival, Saturday afternoon, Oct. 20.
Yellow Jackets
Defeated 7-6
Hillsboro suffered a 7-6 defeat
at the hands of a more experienced
Roxboro team Friday afternoon
while scores of home team fans
looked on. Roxboro had been high
ly rated and was expected to give
out with a thorough trouncing to
the Hillsboro eleven.' A strong line
balked all their efforts to score
after the half, and it was partly
because of an injury to extra-point
kicker Mather Howerton that the
game did not end in a tie
Roxboro scored late in the sec- ,
ond quarter after a 50-yard pass
had set them up for a touchdown. <

Enrollment
Is Counted
For Month
Enrollment figures have been ob

white schools and for the Chapel
Hill school. In every case, except
Chapel Hill, the figure is short of
the total at the end of last year.
Principals point out that first
month ^enrollments are always un
der enrollment at the end of a
atfhbol year, and the following fig
ures are given With no intentio
to prove that schools ail over th
county are going to wind up shon
of last year’s totals.
Enrollment at Chapel Hill is 72®,
447 in the elementary school anc
281 in the high school. At the end
of last year there .was a total of
7£0. Charles Davis, superintendent,
’estimates that first month figures
this year outdo last year’s first
month by about 40 in the high
school and 25 in the elementary:
grades. Average attendance for the
month has been 98 per cent, an
enviable record which Davis hopes
can be kept throughout the year.
Hillsboro, with 809 enrolled at
the end of last year, completes the
first month with 761 pupils.
West Hillsboro has 213 this year
against 215 at the end of last year.
At Orange Grove there are 53
pupils so far. Sixty* were on roll
last spring. -V'

- Ta is working as a bookkeeper.

Morris is staying at home for

Chief clerk now is Miss Marie
Williams, and the remaining office
personnel is one in number—Miss
Bela Boykin. Mrs. Cartee, Mrs.
Morris, Miss Williams and Miss =
Boykin were all four employed
until the reduction of personnel
last month.
Reason for this reduction is that
work of the ration board has been
cut more than half. Gas, stoves,
fuel oil, rubber footwear and all
processed foods have gone off the
ration list, and with the freeing
of these materials, duties left to
the board primarily are issuance
of ration books ta returning serv
icemen, passing on tire certificates
and giving temporary coupons to
servicemen home on leave.
