Member North Carolina Press, Association and North Carolina Weekly Newspaper Association The News, October 10, 1946 A Public-Spirited Citizen Is . . . Tfie obligation of a public-spirited citizen to his own town or county should certainly be considered by an individual when he considers donation of his money to a cause or his support of any suggested improvement in the town which may result in the betterment of the community. That obligation should be one which would result in the town, county or community in which he makes his living, pays his taxes and buys his food being improved, by. his sup port of the cause or his donation of a sum of money to carry out the suggested plan. All of which brings to mind the many causes to which Orange county citizens are now being asked to contribute. From both Chapel Hill and Hillsboro requests are being made for a sum of money to support the Boy Scout move ment in the county. Hillsboro citizens have only recently sub scribed over $1,000 for the purchase of football uniforms for the high school team. The Hillsboro high school band needs uniforms. The Red Cross will be seeking money in the future to carry on its work in the county. All of those organizations play an important part in the life of the citizens in Orange county, Chapel Hill and Hillsboro. All are important for us.to consider supporting to the extent . .of contributing what we can to .making the drives a success. In the football uniform drive for-the local high school team the suport and contributions were enough to secure the uni forms. We hope that the citizens will display the same atti tude in the drive for the funds to carry on the Boy Scout move ment in the county. - Coupled with the Boy Scout drive in Hillsboro will be a campaign to raise the necessary amount of money to finish ,paying for the Youth Center which was recently formally opened. Approximately $8oo-*ii still needed to complete the building and pay off the debt. Recently a request was made for $3,000 for funds to buy the property on which the Nash-Kollock building is now rot ting and falling apart, not only proving to be an eye sore tc . the town but also a fire hazard. The money requested would be used to buy only the proper ty. There wouldn’t be enough left, according to the request when it was presented to the Hillsboro Merchants Association to start the necessary work—which in our estimation would consist of building the structure from the ground up. Still advocates of the plan have continued to spread propa ganda of the wonderful thing it.vYOuld be for Hillsboro and Orange county to contribute money for the restoration of the building. These advocates would have this money spent or a building which would serve only as a tourist attraction— and we question the tourist attraction value of the building— ~~ at a time when the county schools are crowded with students the county offices are cramped for space, the scouts need funds As an example of the school situation—there is a Negro school near Chapel Hill to which county officials Could not recently drive. A school official was forced to walk about two miles to reach the school. We were recently accused of not being public spirited citi ' zens when we voiced our disapproval of the Nash-Kollock project. In the light of so many more things that need doing in the county, we wonder if the shoe wouldn’t fit better or the accuser’s foot. BY TlltS MEWS... * By Mae V. Lark Every season has its charms, and as you see those of Autumr on full display throughout Orange county, you might well wonder if She shouldn’t be crowned Queen of the Seasons. If you are one of those persons lucky enough to have saved the annual vacation for fall, don't get out your road map or consult vour tourist guides. Don’t even think of leaving niiw tnat y©^ jJastt’t'-have to rush off to-work still half closed and that last sip of coffee still Durmng your tongue* just go out and make a tour of Orange, \ at the beauty you’ve been missing. course, the first things you will notice will be the of the air, the sparkle of the dew, the rich color of the leaves and the goldenrod.. But there are many more charms that you must not miss. If you’ll visit the holies of a few of your Orange county neigh bors you will'find them. Out on Route 3, Hillsboro, you will find a most pleasant atmosphere in the kitchen of Mrs. W. D. Dalehite, as she and Mrs. Gibbs, who lives next door, can turnip greens. . You might ask the J. V. Yateses to show you the giant ' size pumpkin on their back porch. Many delicious pies will be turned out from that pumpkin. The sharp, clear sound of the wood-cutting at the C. T. Franklins is pleas ant to the ear; and the little trail of smoke from the chimney over at the Walshes looks friendly and inviting. • The Walshes, who recently moved from Durham to be come Orange countians, are busy making repairs on their, house. Although Mr. Walsh still holds his position at the Washington Duke hotel, here’s hoping that he and Mrs. Walsh will enjoy living in Orange county. On Route 2, Hillsboro, you might ask Charlie Coleman to show you those nice big sweet potatoes his has been digging. If you will stop by the Watkins’ place, you’ll find the family in the barn grading tobacco. You will note how carefully they inspect each leaf, and even if you sdon’t smoke, you will enjoy the pleasant aroma of the tobacco. In every home and on every acre of land you will find Autumn’s, beauty. Along the roadsides throughout the county are the children, fresh as the_dew in their bright new sweaters, waiting for the school buses. On Saturday afternoons there are the long lines of ears carrying opti mistic fans to the football game9r As you look at Orange county you’ll be glad you didn’t get out your road maps or consult your guides. You will know that you have mad^the best choice. 16 (vocational rehabilitation act)? A. Applications under this-law are accepted only from veterans having 10 per cent or more pen sionable disability.

But on Saturday, each got back from Seward’s creek with a catch that couldn’t have differed by more than several ounces!._, / Each had used his favorite kind at fly, his favorite rod and his favorite place to cast So over a friendly glass of beer, they al lowed as how maybe they were both right . . . which is bow so many arguments should end.

How long can I wait^before I take advantage of the education al benefits of the G. I. Bill of Rights? A. A veteran must begin his course not later than four years after either the date of his dis charge or the termination of the war, whichever is the latter, gpd no such education or training will be given beyond nine years after the termination of the war.

In many cases a loan can be made to cover the entire purchase price. However, a 100 per cent loan may place too heavy a burden . on the veteran.

Only 15 per cent of the obligation is charged against the entitlement of the veteran if the obligation is handled by the lend er under the insurance provisions, whereas the charge may be as much as 50 per pent of the obli gatkw .it swfwvteetL The result is that more of the entitlement is used up in the. loan transaction by guaranty ordinarily, and so less re mains available for future trans actions.
