Party Leader LeRoy Martin, who has not missed a meeting of the committee in 32'years, said it was one pf the best—if not the best—he had ever attended. It was well attended; and there was plenty of enthusiasm. Kerr Scott sat with eyes closed through most of the proceedings, seemed to nod now and then. Although he 4 apparently almost totally deaf, Congressman Bob Doughton made a fighting speech. One of the men named on the board of Presidential electors was Dave MIoDonnel of Charlotte. Dave is chief counsel for the Belk stores and was at one time secre tary to J-immie Byrnes. OTHERS TOO . . . Kerr Scott has excused himself of any error in dumping $750,000 for use in Alamance County by taking blasts at three at his predecessors as follows: “. . . Look what Cherry did . . . .built that six-lane highway right through Gastonia—and put that big superhighway through Charlotte.” I don’t think Gov. Scott can prove that his good friend, Cher ry, had one thing to do with either the Charlotte or the Gastonia con struction .

Hillsboro—The local kdvisory committee tor Hillsboro Schools has voted unanimously to recom mend the immediate institution of condemnation proceedings to ob tain the Cameron Park property of Miss Rebecca Wall for a site to construct a new elementary school here. And, the CoumyTBoard=of Bda— cation in aotion at its meeting last Monday night agreed to take some definite action on this question ait next Monday’s regular meeting. Miss Wall has consistently re fused to negotiate for the sale of the property since she declined, the Board’s offer of $18,000 several months ago. None of the proper ty sought for the school site 1* (being used for any pur,pose and neither is Burnsides, the historic Old homeplace which is not in volved in the attempted purchase, Lb cal committees, as well as a delegation of experts from the State Department of Education and the University, have estab lished the Cameron Pdrk site as most suitable in Hillsboro for the ,proposed school. j Members of the local committee I are L. E. Beard, Clarence D. iJones and Van Kenion. -o School Lunches Will Cost More . In Orange County Hillsboro — At an executive meeting of the school principals of Orange County composed of G. A. Brown, Mrs. J. M. Harris, Mrs. Erna Link, Johnnie F. O’Neal, John T. Smith, T. S- Turbyfill, Mrs. Blanche Mattox, Mrs. Lois Blalock, A. L. Stanback, B. A. Hill, and Powell Woodson, the principals voted to increase the cost of lunches to the children of Orange County from 20c to 25c. Reasons given were that the lunchrooms failed to pay expens es the latter part of last year due to increased cost of groceries. During the past school year there was no potatoes supplied by the surplus commodities program. This lack of potatoes, which had been one of the most important items served and had been of rather high commercial value, was due to the fact that the support price on potatoes had been dis continued by the Federal Govern ment. . Another factor causing the need for Increasing cost of lunches to the children was that federal pay ments for student lunches have been steadily decreasing over a period of years, so that today the lunchrooms in Orange County are reimbursed1 only i or 5c per lunch depending on the size of the lunchroom. When the federal lunch program started, many schools received 9c per lunch. This has been cut to less than one-half because even though the amount of federal appropriation has remained the same, the num ber of lunchrooms participating in the program has steadily increas ed Over a period of the last 15 years, the number of children eating in school lunchrooms has more than doubled in North Caro lina . The Board of Education is now renovating the Hillsboro and Carrfooro lunchrooms They are ex pected to be in much better con-| dition when school re-opens. All of the others have had some im provements made in them. -o Telephone Uni Announces Staff Appointments Hillsboro — The Morris Tele phone Company this week an nounced the employment of new' company representatSves for its j Hillsboro and Bfland Exchanges, j and the establishment of a new office location here. Beginning September 2, it will occupy the offices of the former Latta (Dairy and Mrs. William Lynch will receive payments there for the first 10 days of each month thereafter.

The new structure would re place the present building which is the fourtji since the founding. A goal of -25,000 has been es tablished by the church officers as the New Hope congregation’s part of the total cost, which would be shared jointly with the Pres bytery which has established Oamp New Hope across the road. The final total costs will probably be upwards of $75,000. The Rev. John Ensign, pastor, told the congregation and guests that the church had been filled to overflowing every Sunday dur ing the summer and often many were unable to get seats. The church serves as the worship cen ter for the Presbyterian camp, which is used by both adults and young people and as a meeting place for the Presbytery and a rAimlber of Presbjftefy-wide or ganizations. A folder presented to the congregation in connection with the new building expressed the need this„way: “The new posi We Comment!— .m. .. * . t._, .. \ An fctii tonal The local school committee at JTil Is boro for iis forty right action, in recommending condemnation proceedings to secure a site for a desperately needed school. The County Board should follow through. It is inconceivable that the welfare of hundreds of little children today and future . generations should 1 longer be thwarted and jeopardized by whims and selfishness of an absentee pwner whose only crop is weeds, johnson grass and rotting timbers in a once-proud manor house. Our children overflowing from basement, make-shifl gymnasium and. scout hut classrooms deserve first con sideration. Judge W. I. Halstead for his efforts to clean up a shock ingly overcrowded court docket. While it is common prac tice for Superior Court judges far younger in years to hold three day (and sometimes one day) terms in Orange County this jurist kept lawyers and court officials at the job early and late for five full days and disposed of a large portion of the heaviest backlog of cases of local record. Physicians Advised Hospital Opening Set I 'Physicians in this county have been notified that the University of North Carolina’s 400-bed teach ing Hospital in Chapel Hill will open Tuesday, September 2. Notification of the opening,date and other information relating to the Hospital, including members of the staff and rates, has been received by local physicians from Dean W. Reece Berryhill of the University’s School, of Miedicine and Dr, Robert R. Cadmus, Dir ector of the Hospital. There will be no ceremony In connection with the informal opening on September 2. Formal dedication ceremonies are to be held bite this fall or not later than next spring. The letter received by local physicians said "we anticipate an impressive dedication ceremony at which time there win be special programs for the physicians in North Carolina as well as a for mal opportunity to see the com pleted and fully-equipped insti tution.” Meanwhile physicians were cor dially invited to visit and inspect the Hospital at any time. Provided for in appropriations at the 1947 and 1<H0 Legislatures, the building has been under con struction for three years. Total cost has been approximately $5, 000,900. On recommendation of the Uni versity Administration, the Trust ees have .named the building the Nbrth Carolina Memorial Hos pital in memory of those who have or who may give their Hves while serving in the armed forces. The Hospital will be a major unit of the University’s newly established Division of Health Af fairs. The other units under con struction, including the School of Dentistry *nd the School of Nurs ing, are nearing completion but will not be ready for opening for two more weeks. The opening of these units, to gether with tht continuing pro grams of the Schools of Medicine, Public Health, and Pharmacy, will make Chapel Hill one of the great health and medical centers of the nation. The special facilities and re sources of this Health Center will be available to all citizens of the State and to all professional work ers in the varied activities of the health field for consultation and continuing services. This should make for a feorg . adequate medi cal, hospital, and public health program for North Carolina.’ tion of importance New Hope Church has assumed with the placement of Camp New Hope across the road from it, has in creased the need for rpore ade quate room for church services and assemblies. Thus to the New Hope Church of our generation has eorne the honor of annually ; being host to Orange Presbytery and other Presbytery - wide or ganizations and of providing ade- ! quately for the Sunday worship and the assembling together of j these large groups as well as for the boys and girls of the summer camps.” j The proposed new church would be located just behind the J site of the present Session House •: j overlooking the newly paved, road. It has been planned by a com- ] mi'ttee representative of each or ganisation of the church and a . leading church architect, W. Glen Wallace. The exterior arch itectural design will provide a unique church at the entrance to the camp; a building that provid- i es the basic features of the best I in church architecture and one that is unique to the position of the church as the “church home” stone and wood will be used to achieve a building of enduring of hundreds of campers each sum mer. A combination of native beauty and character. In an effort to make the build ing serve the need® of the present congregation and its anticipated growth as well as the needs of the camp and Presbytery groups, the proposed sanctuary would be J planned for expansion in the sum mer months and on special occa sions to care for up to 450 people, | while this expanding room( the Chapel and Balcony) will be de- 1 signed ft>r Sunday School and f other uses throughout the year. > Eight classrooms are planned' for the Sunday School and a large ground floof will provide for fel lowship activities and dining and kitchen facilities. A stage at one end of the fellowship hall will provide for religious dramas and play®.

Wilds Du Bose, a former pastor here, oc cupied the pulpit in th£ morning and the Riev. Carl Craig, a son of the community, in the afternoon. Picnic lunch was served on the grounds. -o HOLIOAY Labor Day will ba observed aa a holiday (throughout moot of Orange County with business flrma and public offlcao being clooed.

The school board was told that extra growth as resut of the hea vy rains which followed the long dry spell had delayed tobacco har vesting for several weeks and that opening schools on September 2 would work a hardship through out the tobacco sections and affect V the livelihood of m large segment of the population. (Because of the interlocking bus schedules it was not deemed fea sible to attempt to allow one school to close and attempt to open others. ;—z::n*zzzz:: As result of the board action also, the Aycock school mey op erate on a short schedule for a week or so in cooperation with parents who need their children to help in the harvest.
