Umstead-for-Governor Club Gains Momentum; Hundreds Pledge Aid Chapel HilTl Beauty Pageant Set For Feb. 22 Ohtspel Hill — This town’s re presentative to the state finals for the annual Atlantic City Miss America Pageant will be selected at the Second Annual Chaipel Hill Beauty and Personality Pageant here on Felb. 22. The Jiaycee-sponsored event, to be held in the High School Audi torium, will also feature a variety show and the selection of Miss Chaipel Hill of 1970 from the town’s tiny tot papulation. Miss North Carolina will be selected during a three-day festi val to be held in Winston-Salem this summer. The present Miss Chapel Hill, Dot Hogan, placed in the final eliminations of 'last year’s state-wide pageant in Burl ington. In winning out over a field of 14 entrants for the tractive brunette college coed won a $250 Scholarship to the Woman’s College in Greensboro. Awards for this year’s pageant will be announced' shortly. Willis Knight and) Gran P. Childress, Jayicee oo-chairmen for I the, event, announced that entries I for the event may be placed im mediately. University coeds or Chaipel Hill residents alike, be-. tween 18 and 27 years of age, are invited to enter. Only other re quirements are that they be high school graduates or seniors, and be unmarried. “In Choosing Miss Chapel 11:111 we are not interested in finding ( the most glamorous girl,” Knight: stressed, “nor need she be the, most talented. We are searching , for the one to best qualify as the ' typical American girl with charm,' poise, intellignece, character, and a sincere ambition to develop her totem* through 41th oppirtunities offered by participating.” Local civic groups, merchants, clubs, fraternities and sororities are invited to sponsor entries for the Pageant. And He Did. .Once upon a time there was a Little Red Hen. One day in the barnyard dhe found a grain of wheat. “Who will plant this grain of wheat?” she asked. * ■ “I won't”, said Capua Waynick. “I won’t ”, said Henry Jordan. \ “I won’t", said Brandon. Hodges. “I won’t”, 9aid L. P. MnLendon. “I will, then,” said Hubert Olive cf Lexington - -and he did. Two weeks ago we wrote here -"3 fc'i’ow-: “All we knew is that Gov. and Mrs. Kerr Scott left last Saturday aifterqoon for a two weeks, exipense-tpaid tour of the Caribbean. While Scott is gone., anything can happen.” v —--o Planned?. . .At bough it may be denied over and over again, be lief will stand in many quarters hat the Olive candidacy was timed with Scott’s absence in southern waters. When he had been away for one week, with -’othir r h liming, feeling was Yipr' ee! here end elsewhere 'hat Cfbus Waynick, ambassador to Colombia, would be urged by he Governor to re-enter the State as a full-fledged ■ candidate for Governor. -c--— We heard last fall that Hubert Olive wanted the Governor's sup port - - in a quiet way, The re port had it thai, this approach -uited Kerr Scott all right, but did not meet with favor among -ome cif the leading hatchet men in the administration. They said hat Olive should agree to take ‘he bad long with the good rid should net simile at them, in pri vate and turn 'his badk upon them in public. — - • „ —ri -o Vague. . Last week Olive was vague on his ties with Scott, even though he has been in contact with the Governor rather sharply within the past six months. By the time you read this release, yah will have seen anti heard a great deal about the Governor’s atti tude cn Olive’s candidacy. It seems that virtually every body in the State except Paul G. Stoner, Lexington attorney who brought Olive's, announcement, biography, and platform to Ra leigh newsmen on the day he an nounceed, knew where the Gov ernor was and when he would return to 'the State. Stoner went to the Governor’s office and asked, no doubt for publication, when the Governor would be back. Cute! Last Friday when silver-head ed. lion-voiced Hubert Olive came into Raleigh to pay his filing fee, 'he reporters cornered- him in an endeavor to get a statement, one way or the other, as to Scott sup port. When it was all ever, they knew no more than when, the confer-: erace began. The questions were "cowered with: “I couldn't . . -I never did ash him. . .1 don’t know . . .hard! to answer.” Olive did sav he hadn’t asked for Governor Scott’s support be fore getting into the race. -o Administration Backing. . . Hu bert Olive, whether he wants it ha- asked for it, or needs it, will have administration support from A to Issard. The future of Kerr Scott’s political strength rests squarely upon the shoulders cf Hubert Olive. If he wirjs. Kerr Scott will run for the U. S. SenT. ate against Willis Smith. So, this makes Olive the ad ministration man just as Charlie1 Johnson was four years ago. The man from Lexington .should not. regret'-Hhi* situation, for Kerr j Slcott is not nearly%o unpopular as a lot at folks would have you believe. The present administra tion has more folks on the State payroll then ever before in the history of the State.

Urns tea d is apposed to the proposed Chapel Hill area zoning ordinance in its present forni and said this week he hopes “the Town Board will either ma terially change it or refuse to en act it.” Mr. Umstead issued his state ment on the matter after his name had been brought up dur ing the heatin'g hearing at Cha pel HiH Town Hall as one of those responsible for the proposed or dinance. In tiur s&taneot Mr, Umstead explained that his introduction of the enabling bill, which proposed nd specific ordinance, was- at the request of the Chapel Hill Board of Aldermen and ample time was allowed for opposition to develop before passage by the Assembly. He indicated his belief that Cha pel Hill and' the surrounding ter ritory should have some foiim of zoning but was opposed to the proposed ordinance in its present form. iMr. umsteact is one of the larg est landowners in the rural area surrounding Chapel Hill which the Town proposes to zone. His statement: “At a recent meeting of the Tcwn Commissioners of Chapel Hill held for the punpose of con sidering a zoning ordinance for Clhsjpel Hill and surrounding ter ritory my name was brought up in the discussion as one of those being responsible for the proposed or dinance. For this reason I wish to make a statement in regard to this jpjtter. “The Bill authorizing such zon ing was sent to me by the Town Commissioners of Chapel Hill with a request that I introduce same. I did this on. February 22, 1951 and. each cf the papers in Orange County carried this information, as well as all state papers. Al though it usually takes only 10 days for the passage oif a local Bill I purposely delayed the pass age of this Bill so that' in case or position developed both -sides could ibe heard by the .proper - committee. It was not until 30 days later that the Bill was en acted into la/w and during that time no opposition to the Bill .de veloped. “I wish to call attention to the fact that thus Bill proposes no specific zoning ordinance. It simno ly gives the Town Commission ers the right to pass some form of zoning law. From these facts it can easily be seen that the original Bill came from the Town Commissioners and any ordinance concerning zoning must be pass ed by the Town Commissioners. “In my opinion the Chapel Hill and surrounding territory should have some form cf zoning, both for the protection of the town and the citizens generally and for the protection of the land owners | themselves. With the rapid "'de velopment taking place within the town and in the immediate vicinity we will find that some types of buildings will be con-, <drueted that wild be detrimental to the interest of the land owners unless there are restrictions. “As to the ordinance that is being proposed by the To a.i Com missioners I wish to state that I am opposed to it in its present form and hope that the Town” Board will either materially change it or refuse to enact it.” Gospel Singing At Schley Grange Hillsiboro — The Schley Ameri can Legion Post 452, will sponsor a ‘Gospel Singing” Saturday night January 26, 1952, at the 9chley Grange hall. The singing will 'feature the Stamps Melody Quartette of Lewisville, N. C. and other Quar tettes from North Carolina and Virginia. The singers are accom plished pUblic and radio perform ers. ——-—• - ■: ■ - - Advanced tickets may be ob tained from any member of the Legion Poet.

Editor: Since I am one of the loca' citizens Who appeared at the public hearing in Chapel Hill or the evening of January 14th, re lative to the controversial zoning .ordinance. I h<ip« you will give | me space in The News for a few i of my personal opinions. ■ * first, ■ 1 wish' to.say Slat, in I directing questions and statements I to Judtje Phipps, I for one, held no ill feeling toward him, and, I feel certain, very few, if any, others did. Mr. Phiipps was the chief spokesman tor the Board and the pronoun “you" simply referred to the tangible and in tangible powers and motives be hind the ordinance. Second, I take issue with Judge Phipps is his statement that ap position came9 mainly from indi viduals who are “misinformed.” The truth is they were not either “informed” or misinformed.” En tirely too often public officials fail to trust the intelligence of the masses, thereby usually reaping the inevitable misunderstandings and ill-feelings. Had the “exact" motives for and results of the zoning ordinance been carefully and completely published prior to any attempt to .pass an ordinance, there most likely wo,*ld have been very little apposition. The people always deserve the confidence of those who represent them. As to zoning ordinances for ura! areas adjacent.to highways, I make certain frank statements: it appears resonafole and to the best interests of all the people to maintain all property within sight cf highways as pleasing to the eyes as possibly practical. The ways and extent to which this is done makes a i remendous differ WQ&- 1 agree that .buildings and land's and approaches should be constructed and/or maintained in accordance with accepted reason able. provisions for--beauty, sani^, tation, safety, etc. • I completely disagree that commercial bus inesses p r.o p e r 1 y constructed, maintained and operated lessen the beauty of any highway any where. Instead, such businesses, together with properly built and lighted commercial signs, along the approaches of a thousand towns and cities in this country, tremendously enhance the beauty pride and livelihood of their citi zens. There are many ugly ap proaches to cities, but this is be cause of the condition of the bus inesses •and signs and not because of the principle of businesses.

Hastings of Hittrlboro lost his life on December 31 in Korea when the truck he was driving skidded off an icy bridge, according to the Defense Department an nouncement received by his wife, Mrs. Dorothy Stevens of Durham. Ar.nouncement of .a, ^Hastings’ death has (previously been re oorted in this newspaper but other details were lacking at that time. He entered the Army on January 10, 1051 and landed in Korea on November 21, 1051. -o THE DOPE WAS HIDDEN Can boro—.Police are still seek ing a probable “dope addict” who broke into Senters Drug Store here during the past week. Entrance was made by prying open the outside door leading to the upper floor at the building and then the side door to the drug store proper. Nothing was missed since the narcotic* were safely hidden. Evidence indicated that nothing else interested the in-_ trudipr. "s ^ Ohapel Hill — Some 600 to 800 Orange County citizens hove signed applications for member-' ship in a proposed Orange Coun ty Umstead-for-Governor Club and the movement is just gaining momentum, it was learned this week. Idea for the chi> originated with T. B. Creel, chairman of Chapel Hill’s North precinct com mittee, who is acting chairman of the organization committee for the Umsteed-cfor-Oovemor Club, and preliminary work was begun last November. , , ........ Applications for membership in the dub are norw in the Sands o< « some 35 friends at the Durham statesman, who has always had ~ strong support in all sections of Orange County, and signatures of well wishers and prospective sup porters are being added dally at a rapid pace. Leaders of this charter ngm bcrrS'p drive say that an organi zation meeting of the club will be called in the near future and early in the comrrign it is hoped that Utmsrtcad wtl address a court-— ty-wide meeting of the clii> at a barbecue or seme other gather ing. Because of this county’s prox imity to Durham and the strength of his support in Orange, it is considered a distinct ipossfl>ility that he may open his regular speaking campaign in this coun ty with an address to the Um stead'-rfbr-Covernor Club. -In applying for charter mem bership in the Orange County Umsteadifor-Oovemor Club the signers ‘'pledge our support to Wilham B.
