Mr. Conway said be understood the races had been1 banned in Alamance County, so the operators had moved down to' Orange, proposing to have races every Sunday after May 6 for young amateur drivers in old carfc, He said it would be dangerous to turn his congregation out info the type of traffic that the races would create and said the races would “interfere with our worship services.” He said his entire con gregation i*as "disturbed” by the matter and has authorized action to prevent the proposed races. * The Commissioners and Sheriff . Odell Clayton discussed possible legat action against' the oj^rators j such as (1) declaration of the races as a “public nuisance,” or (2)1 criminal charges growing out of j “disturbance of public worship.” Chairman R. J. M. Hobbs told Coftwey, *^’m .inksympathy, witfcr you,” and other commissioners ^indicated like sentiments.

An Appeal For Sanity 4Aw Editorial) fm 'Flie local minister and his congregation,’ the Board of County Commissioners and the Sheriff are on sound ground, indeed, as they seek legal means to outlaw legalized ‘'jalopy" racing in Orange County. That the venture here may well become "legalized murder" if not halted in time is a foregone conclusion to any observer who rides the htghyrays or reads the nevvspaper accounts of multiple deaths directly attributa ble to highways."racing and £he mania-for speed which seems to-(Misses* many of our generation. .. ... Tht ■■■.Ivucftes of these rates apjtear id point with pride to the fact that only novice drivers and .jalopy -tars will be eligible to compete in the weekly Sunday Vfternoon races on the track being butli just off the Orange Cirove road. We would point tin* finger of shame at stu b irresponsibility. What better stage for death, what more fertile ground for reckless ness than this combination? We appeal to out public officials, we appeal to public opinion to take a firm stand for sanity and smother this menace to our -safety.-and that of -our neighbors before it gains further foothold iu out midst. 8 & P Women Will Sponsor 'Meet The Candidates' Meeting A “Meet the Candidates” pro Klfhm, sponsored by the Legislative Committee of the -Business and Professional Women’s Club'*^ip Hillsboro, is planned for Wednes day evening, April 25 in the^neW Courthouse in Hillsboro at 8 o’ clock.
