Rural Progress Report No. i Several Cedar Grove Groups Push Rural Progress Drive (First of a series on articles on activities being carried on in connection with the County Rural Progress Campaign. Im provements to the Aycock School, shown above, are among the projects at Cedar Grove.) BY CHARLES N. LANGSTON, Teacher of Agriculture The people of Cedar Grove are not taking the Rural Progress Pro gram for Orange County lightly. Many different groups are work ing bo,tih separately and collec tively in an effort to make this community a better iplace .to live. Varying, degrees of success are be ginning to show in all parts of the area. Such organizations as The Cedar Grove Ruritan Club, The Vocational Departments, The Par ent Teachers Association, and the different Church groups are all doing their share to advance rural lAing. Without a doubt, The Cedar Grove Puritan Club offers one of the most, striking" examples of a community spirit to be found in any rural community in North .Carolina. Chartered in May of 1951, this ftine organization has come far in helping to make Cedar Grove a better place in. which to live. Under the capable and de voted leadership of its young president, Wilfred Phelps, this club has risen from its chartered membership of 42 members to its present membership of 68 active members pledged to a common cause—to promote good will, co operation, and fellowship in The Cedar Grove Community. The members of this club have taken an active interest in the advancement of its school, in par ticular. One of its major projects has been the improvement of The Aycock School Grounds. Approxi mately 150 cedar post were donat ed by Mr. Bill Tolar and sawed by Mr. Charlie Pope. They were finished in' beautiful natural col or and planted around the school lawn with Ruritan members do nating all of the work involved, from cutting to planting, free of charge. (Next, ine ouu — obligation to construct a service able concrete walk extending across the front of the school building property and down the north side all the way to the back of the building. In this project, the club was appreciative of Mr. G. P. Carr and The Orange Coun ty Board of Education for donat ing all the materials involved, with the Ruritan Club doing the work free. Some other outstanding accom plishments of The Cedar Grove Ruritan Club, to mention a few, are: Took an active interest whic£ resulted in. the admittance of George Corbitt, a six year old col- i ored boy crippled from birth, to j the Gastonia Orthopaedic Hospial j for .treatment and ipossible cure, Gave $20.00 in prizes to outstand ing students in the local school at its annual graduation; Sponsored an interchurch picnic ' at Pullen Park in Raleigh, N. C.; Sponsored a trip to the Shubert Musical Fes tival in Charlottesville, Virginia , for two of our local outstanding music students, Joe Compton and James Burton, Sponsored various worthwhile community projects, such as public auctions, and the appearance of featured intertain =rs In the community; And as sec retary for this active dub, it would be easy to list many more ; worthwhile community aceom-. piishmente, but the most import ant one to date is the one that the members are working on now. The Cedar Grove Community is fortunate in now having one of the most modern high school gym nasiums in Orange, County, but we are unfortunate in that we do not have any equipment for it; that is, seats, goals, lockers, etc. The Ruritan Club has already fi nanced the installation of the goal foundations^ and has raised ap proximately $700.00, or about one third of the necessary funds, for the purchase price of the seats. This particular project is schedul ed to be complete by October 1st of this year. Every member is do ing what he can, both individually and collectively, with every con fidence that the task of raising the necessary fund will be com plete on schedule. With the co operative spirit that prevails among the members of this chib, we feel that this project is just one o.f the milestones which prov-^ es that this qlub can and will con tribute to a better community. It is not unusual to hear a person ccmmerft that Tire Cedar Grove Ruritan Club-is the greatest thing that ever happened to The Cedar Grove Community. Other proven assets to the Cedar Grove Community and to the ad vancement of rural progress are connected with The Aycock High School. The Home Economics De partment under the capable guid (Continued on page 4) CoBUussioaers Approve Baiget With Few Chaages Hillsboro—“Hie Board of County Commissioners Monday formally approved with only minor chang es, ithe budget for the 1952-33 fis cal year approved tentatively on July 7, and adopted a resolution formally setting the county tax rate at $1.00 per $100 valuation. The new budget, which includ ed increases in all major seotioos, listed proposed expenditures of $721,545.08, or almost $83,000 more than was expended last year in op erating the county government. At Monday’s session, the Board approved a $15 per month raise for Veterans Service Officer Wal ter Wrenn, bringing his salary to $215 per month with a $200 per year travel allowance, and grant ed a $250 per year increase in the fee for the W. iM. Russ Company for auditing the county’s books. Otherwise the document remain ed as was tentatively (approved earlier in .the month, iix the ab sence of protests from the elec torate. Consideration was given the re quest of .the Chapel Hill City Ad ministrative Unit for tansferring approximately $20,000 from their current expense budget to the capital outlay fund to enable the inclusion of a number of alternate items which had .to be deleted from the contract for the construc tion of the new elementary school. It was believed such transfer was illegal because of the legal stipu lation that general expense funds from tax money must be ailoted to Chapel Hill strictly on a per capita basis and such funds nor mally cannot be used for capital outlay. The commissioners, however, voted to approve any action to j transfer the funds if such a trans few could be done legally. Subse quent /contacts with officials of the State Board of Education and the Local Government Commis sion, however, indicated no legal basis for such a transfer. -—--o—— DRAFT DELINQUENTS Hillsboro — Edward Gilbert Young, Charlie J. Love and John Alton Brooks, were listed yester day as delinquents by the Orange County selective service board. The board requested that any one knowing the whereabouts of these men contact them or the lo cal board. It is the duy of all se lective service registrants, said board, to keep /the local board in formed at all times as to their cur rent mailing address. Anyone fail ing to comply with this regulation is subject to immediate induction. %/U.EtGH Round-up " ■ ■ ■■ ~ '£ ■ ' • < < -i '•• - . ■ c •" ? VISITOR . . . Some of Adlai Stevenson’s ancestors lived in North Carolina. He has a sister who spends her winters in Moore, County. Don’t be surprised if the Democratic nominee for Presi dent visits in these parts within the next two months. BIG DAY . . . The Democratic Party in North Carolina is simi lar to the Republican Party na tionally in that it has a split per sonality. Stevenson in his accept ance speech early last Saturday morning referred to the schizo phrenic personality of the GOP. In Tarheelia, some of the Dem ocrats are free spenders. This group apparently likes govern ment competition with private business. It does not seriously ob ject to our huge debt. The more conservative Democrats think the Democratic Party has drifted. They frown on a government which seems to be encouraging inflation. It may be that Adlai Steven son can pretty nearly heal this wound. • -— : Reports we get are that tenta tive plans have already been made for a big Democratic rally with Stevenson as the key figure. Whe ther this will be held, if indeed it is held, at Kerr Scott’s farm or elsewhere has not been determin ed. • — PEACE? TrrWe haven't heard much about the Scott barbecue lately. However, nomination of Adlai Stevenson as the Democrats’ standard bearer this fall would seem .to fit in with plans for a big day for Democrats. Incidentally, it must be noted that Kerr Scott has seemed unus ually .peaceable within the past month. Of course, he may raise' the roof any minute. But (the hot weather around Raleigh, or sheer fatigue, has slowed down the Gov ernor and made him appear to be a regular fellow. FOR STEVENSON ... . Gener al Ike Eisenhower could probably have carried North Carolina over Harry S. Truman. Our opinion is (that Adlai Stevenson will give Eisenhower a resounding thrash ing in the Old North State. It is a long time until November and a lot of things can happen. These happenings will probably be in Stevenson’s favor .He is a fresh face, bright and shining. The ipeople seem to like new comers these days. They "are get ting a little weary of the old boys in most sections of the country. For a time here in Raleigh con sensus was that with Richard (Russell oould the North Carolina Democrats hope to carry the State. Those we were able to contact on ( Saturday were enthusiastic about Stevenson and his chances local ly and nationally. SPEAKER ...

(Continued on Page 2 I — - - .- — Caldwell Trio Fiaei For Trespass Molesting Woaan Hillsboro—A trio of the Cald well section, who fortified them selves with liquor and invaded a neighbor's home to molest his jwife, had to pay the penalty this J week following their conviction in county court.

It is lov. 1 in the space just' opposite the new Carrboro Post Office on Main Street arid runs the complete distance to Weaver Street, between the White Oaksj Department Store and the Carr boro Baptist Church. | Darina Assoacs New Responsibility In Atomic Program The death of Senator Brien Mc Mahon of Connecticut earlier this week thrust additional fcurdens for atomic and hydrogen develop ment on the shoulders of Orange County’s Representative Carl T. i Durham of Chapel Hill. Durham .vice chairman of the joint Atomic Energy Committee, had been acting chairman during McMahon’s illness. He is serving his 14th year in the House and is 3rd ranking member of the Arm ed Services Committee. Durham and Sen. Bourke Hick enlooper (R-Ia) led a successful fight in the closing minutes of the 82nd Congress to make sure the Atomic Energy Commission has all the funds it needs for the first step in the gigantic atomic expan sion program. Durham, with his knowledge of atomic power and what It c«n do to civilian populations, 'has been the outstanding House proponent of a strong civil defense system. Durham is convalescing at Duke Hospital for respiratory troubles. Last year he underwent an opera tion in which the lower lobe of his right lung was removed. Next year when the 83rd Con gress convenes, the joint commit tee will select a chairman for the new session. It may be Durham, who would be the first House member to head the group. The white-haired, 60-year-old Chapel Hillian has worked vigor ously for a vast expansion of both the atomic apjJ hydrogen programs to save the peace. Communist Russia gives us ut terly no choice but to pay out our i treasure for preparedness,” Dur ham said recently. “In the long run, if we can hold the Krerplin at bay, it will cost us far less to detee4fce agressor from war; then to fight and win it.” o' o Carr boro Mills Plan Picnic, Dance Carrboro—The Carrboro Wool en Mills’ annual employees picnic and dance will be held on August Jfl at Camp New Hope, officials of the plant announced this week.

Garvin, ,1 county health officer, has advised 1 the Board of County Commission ers that 2.065 dogs have been vac- I cinated under the rabies control I program this year.

Lack of rain and recent high temperatures have apparently damaged the 1992 tobacco in Orange County by as much as 20 25 per cent, according to local observers. All crops are in dire need of water, and unless a rain comes in the next few days, the tobacco crop promises to be one of the; shortest in recent years. Pastures and gardens are drying up and corn is twisting up, but the real damage seems to be in regard to the county’s chief money crop. Late tobacco has been especially hard hit. It’s growth has been hampered, and. its bottom leaves continue to dry up. Tobacco that has reached dts normal size is burning up green. —-— —• Many farmers in the county con tinue to prime last week, but the quality of the tobacco pulled was said to have been poor. Other far mers report that they do not plan to pull until after the rain. “The tobacco is too sorry,” they say. “It won't cure. While the light rain did some good, accompanying heavy winds was damaging in some sections. A number of farmers also reported that the rain served little purpose except to scald their tobacco. Recent drops in temperature have helped, and a good rain could greatly affect the present outlook . “There is a lot of come out .tobacco,” many farmers say, “but it may be too late.” Crops and gardens in the area continued to take a beating during the heat wave and dry spell. With two days left in the month. Only 2.28 inches or about two-fifths of the normal amount of rain has fallen. -o Hillsboro Camp . Woodmen Of World Is Reorganizing The Hillsboro Gamp of the Woodmen of the World is re organizing under the direction of John W. Brooks, of Durham, dis trict representative.
