Civic Clubs Join For Major Speech By Graham Friday —— Politics Charged In Delay Of Decision On Schools Hillsboro — The meeting of school district committees with the County School Board to find a solution to the Aycock-Hills boro attendance area boundary dispute has been set for April 17 at the Courthouse at 2 o'clock. This announcement on behalf of the School Board was made yesterday b y Superintendent Glenn Prof fit, who said the post ponement had been made at the request of the Aycock group, headed by John Hawkins, who asked more time to prepare their case. The inability of the Rev. Henry Lewis to appear with the Aycock committee because of par ticipation in a revival was another factor in the request for postpone ment, it was said. Meanwhile, Hillsboro leaders charged that the postponement until April 17 was an attempt by the Aycock group and the School Board to forestall filing of a can didate for the School Board seat held by Zeb Burton .until after the close of filing on April 15. The decision of the board in the mat ter of boundaries is erpected to be a major factor in deciding whether there will be opposition to Burton, whose term is the only one on the three-man board which expires. Burton is a resident of the Cedar Grove community. -o—— Plan Services For Holy Week At Presbyterian Hilldboro—Special Holy Week! services of prayer and meditation will be held on Wednesday, April 6 through Friday, April 8 at the Hillsboro Presbyterian Church.

Orange County Nose Counting Begins Saturday; Cooperation Urged Hilldboro—On Saturday, April 1. approximately 35 census enu merators will begin the huge task of counting not only the noses of Orange County citizens but are also charged with the job of gath ering information that will be useful in future planning: District Supervisor, J. D. Rogers of High Point, who is in charge of the census work in Alamance, counties, stated that estimated time to complete the job in Orange should be about four weeks. Classes for enumerators were completed this week and the sup envasion will be under the direc tion of the two eounty leaders, John P. Ballard of Hillsboro and O. E. Brown of Chapel Hill. ~ Rogers ^pointed out that the enumerators have been .thorough ly instructed on the proper pro cedure - and will be identified by a card bearing the correct name and signature of the supervisor. All citizens are tequired by law to answer all questions which the enumerators will ask, and offi cials urgedT all residents to give cooperation to the enumerafc>rs in order that their task may be completed as soon as possible. All in formation collected by enumerators will be used only in connection with the census, Rogers said, and will not be avail able for publication, for tax pur poses or for use by any other public agency. All enumerators will be under pepalty of the law to keep in the strictest confidence any information which they col lec during the operations. , . ( Rogers stated that as' soon as their task in this county and totals have been reached, that they well be released to the public as tenta tive totals. Following this the figures and information will be forwarded to central census of fices for more totals and compil ing. So, he pointed out, it is highly possible- that figures will be ^re leased in a few weeks as’ relate^ to Orange County and its. popu lation centers. Officials stated that the infor mation learned by individual enumerators will be used in vari ous ways. If the questions are answered acquartly, vital infor mation on markets, .unemploy ment, shifts xfl popu!$fion ' and other information that will be very useful in future planning, not only in small centers but on larger corporations, it was stated. a . r . Chapel HlU-rDr) Frank P. Gra ham, in the midst of a vigorous campaign to returp to the United States Senate, return* to his hometown tomorrow for an ad dress that sponsors of the program have termed as “non-political.” His campaign managers, how ever, have listed K among the major appearances of the week on his itinerary. The occasion will be a joint meeting of the four . civic <*!<*« of Chapel Hill and Carrboro at the Carolina Inn at 6:46 P. If. Participating win be the mem bership of the Kiwanis, Rotary, Lions and Altrusa clubs. Dr. Re* Winslow of the University is in charge of arrangements. The ad dress is the main feature of the program. Senator Graham’s subject for the address was not known fix Chapel Hill yesterday hut is ex- —— pected to be on some phase of World Peace, the general sxfbject to which he has devoted most of his speeches during the past few months. Dr. Graham has been under the pressure of blistering attacks from his major opponent, Willis Smith, for his “liberal” record and previous use of his name in con nection .with various groups and causes. While the Orange Sena tor has gone into detail in recent appearances to explain his posi tion on these matters, it is not believed he will do so in Chapel Hill except in a most cursory man ner since his audience will be overwhelmingly favorable to him and his candidacy. While politics is not the main theme of tomorrow night's pro gram here, it is hardly likely that the subject will go completely un noticed and a large gathering of club merrdoers and guests from this area will be in attendnee. o Minor Offenses Clutter Court Calendar Monday Hillsboro—The usual run-of the-mine traffic and whiskey violations occupied the County Recorders Court Monday. — '* • LuTfiW Wagtmer "cpx w whiskey-— count drew a six months rood term suspended upon payment of a $150 fine and costs.
