Last Wednesday, during a fire at the Summey residence at West Hillsboro, the fire truck was blocked off on several street in tersections. while the driver at tempted to get to the scene when f the exact location of the house was not known. At the Fagan home last Satur day afternoon, trucks returning to the scene after obtaining addi tional water supplies, were block ed; off. In addition to hampering and blocking the fire fighting equipment, the f\re truck follow - | ers also prevent the volunteer firemen from getting to the scene expeditiously. The Fagan home, one of the land marks of this ^community, a three-at ery frame building said to be over 20d years old, was de stroyed completely ' about’ 5:15 f r o’clock Saturday afternoon.

Farmers may vote at place most convenient to them re gardless of where they live. for him, regardless of whether it is in his own township. Two-thirds approval is required to make the plan effective. ’ The referendum covers a period of three years. To be continued beyond that time, the plan would have to be renewed by referen dum in 1954. Agricultural leaders have been urging for the past several weeks that every eligible person vote. The size of the vote cast, they say, will indicate hcsw much interest farm people have in solving their production and marketing pro blems. The “Nickels for Know-How” plan, worked out by farm leaders themselves, calls for an assessment **ve *rta per gm *o tr •£}<*,-* to the cost of ail feed .and-ferti lizer sold in the State. The aver age farmer would pay about 25 cents a year, and the total amount collected woulcl be approximately $125,000 a ye^r. All of the pro ceeds would be turned over to the Agricultural Foundation, Inc., at State College to 'promote re search and the dissemination of research findings,. No' expense would be involved in collecting the money. This would be done at the manufaot er*s by. the State Department of - Agriculture, along with collection of regular inspection fees. Agricultural leaders point out that the nickel per ton assesment would' be a contribution and! not a tax. Any farmer desiring to do so could obtain a refund of ali the money he had paid in. -■—o SWINE SHOW TODAY Hillsboro — The Fourth Show and Sale of the Orange County Spotted Poland China Breeders Association will get underway at the Livestock Market here today at 10 o'clock with 17 bred gilt? to be shown from among the lead ing bloodlines of the nation. •r _ Hearing For Hobart Lee, Accused ' Slayer Of Rachel Crook, Set Not. 7 nmsooi o • — a 'preliminary hearing has been set for 10 a: m.! on Wednesday November 7 for Hc bart Lee, the gccused slayer of Miss Rachel Crock. Ecrmer D. Sawyer. Lee's at torney, asked Judge L. J. Phipps of Orange County Recorders Cxiul for a hearing at last Monday’s oeysion and the special session was scheduled. Sawyer said he might also ask for a hearing at the same time for Ira Sparrow, who is changed with killing his wife only a few weeks after- the* Crook 9laying and in the same community. Both men are in jail here. The 33-year-old Burlington bulldozer operator was recently transferred to Orange County jail to arwait trail before Judge Claw son Williams in Orange Superior Court, beginning Dec. 10. He had been held in Durham County jail since his arrest Sept. S. The hearing was requested by Sawyer during the regular week ly session orf the Orange Record er’s Court. In granting the hoar Wmtkm tor e special time rather than during the court’s usual Monday session. This was :ri anticipation that the State’s presentation, against Lee miaht take too long to be heard during the regular session. At the. hearing Sheriff Sam Lat ta will bring out at least some cl the evidence he has against the accused slayer. Repeatedly since Lee’s jailing Latta has said he’s positive he has the right man. Saiwyer said he might or might •. licit put evidence on the stand for the defendant— “dependent on what the State is able to show." , He said he asked for the pre trial hearing “to get our caset oriented.”
