The proclamation pointed out that it is of cardinal importance that all Chapel Hill citizens famil iarize themselves with such pro posals in order that they may form intelligent opinions and reach wise decisions with respect to them. • “I urge all 6f our citizens, whether of voting age or not, to -make a serious and Sincere effort during World Government Week to devote study and thought to the reasons prompting, the issues in volved in, and the practicability of the proposals for world federal government,” Madry said. Madry urged civic, religious, and other organizations to devote their meetings scheduled during , the designated week to study and discussion of world federal gov ernment proposals.

Fordhe past two years a group if Tar Heel footballers have band id together after the grid wars ubsided and played the cage lame, in a comical sort of way, hroughout the state. The tn l.ti is hat they have playeda -pretty fair >rand of basketball while clown ng and have romped over all op )osition despite the fact that aughter has dominated the stands. Now for the first time they are ;oing to play the game in wheel hairs against a group of disabled var veterans who have gained ;onsiderable fame for their apt less while confined to rolling hairs. The Chairoteers ask only ine favor of opponents—dhat they ilso perform from wheel chairs— ind that’s the handicap the Clowns ace here March 3. ' • r $ \ •' -i-—— -- : . \ . \ Fun galore is anticipated when such football huskies as Art Wei ner, Charlie Justice, Bobby Weant and many others try their skill at racing down the hardwood;, in wheel chairs and taking a pot sh^t . at the basket.. .... _....... . :. The Chairoteers have performed in this- section before and nosed out the Duke varsity in a game played in Durham earlier this sea son. ..Fans who saw that affairj were impressed with the way the vets have, overcome their handi caps to an extent that more perfect physical specimens find it difficult to compete with them when they . fake similar handicaps arid confine i themselves to wheel chairs. The rules of the game have been kept as near like regular basket--, bail rules as p#sible with fouls resulting from deliberate ramming, of the opposition, holding, pushing j and hacking. —' »-4 The game is being sponsored by the Chapel Hill Junior Chamber of Commerce and proceeds will go toward permanent improvements in the athletic facilities of the local higs school* . .._ All local business firms are han- J dling the advance sale of tickets. ■ Hillsboro.—According to the bi ennial report of the North Caro lina Veterans Commission, only three counties in the state ranked above Orange in the amount of monetary benefits to veterans and- «. > or dependents during the fiscal year 1947-48. Only Wake, Guilford, and Wil son county veterans received larg er total sums of monetary assist ance than veterans in Orange. However, according to Waiter G. Wrenn, Veterans Service Officer for Orange County, all three coun ties have much larger numbers of veterans, and on the basis of the number of doHars pen veteran. Orange ranks first. There are 3,509 veterans in the County . Dur ing the fiscal year 1947-48, they received benefits of $263,405.87. In cases where payments are made on a monthly basis, this includes initial payments only. Credit tot' this, volume of vet ^ - assistance is generally attributed to the presence of the full-time veterans officer; Walter G. Wrenn, who assumed the position as Or ange County Veterans Service Of ficer in November/1947. Because of his interest in the welfare of veterans, - Wrenn re signed his position as agent for Imperial Life Insurance Company to accept the veterans service post. He is a veteran of World War*'I, and served as Comman^pr of the Hillsboro Post of the American Legion in 1945-46. Wrenn’s headquarters are in the American Legion hut in Hillsboro. On Thursday afternoons, Charles A. Beddingfield, a representative of the N. C. Veterans Commis sion, discusses tentative cases and assists Wrenn in interviews. “Difficulties of all sorts arise in getting these claims through,” Whenn stated. “One case required 14 months’ work before initial benefits i were received. ’ orange County Hog: Brings Top Price At Show Hillsboro. — A six-months-old Spotted Poland.
