Politics! activity haa picked up steam considerably during the past weak as candidates redoubled their efforts to win voters and got them to the polli Focal point of much interest is the 6th District Congressional race in which Orange County’s Carl T. Durham is being challenged by the Haw River dairyman. State Sena tor Ralph H. Scott in what the politically-wiae say may be the closest contest for Durham since he beat Earl Rives In Guilford, a good many years ago. The Durham forces art leaving no atones unturned this week to get out a large vote in the belief that a large majority in Orange will help offset possible deficit* in other counties of the district, es pecially Alamance and poarlbly in Durham County which has bean in tlmkS part a strohgNld «,* ifcfTMr opposition. A big inane see, likewise, haa been noted in interest In the three man race far the State Senate be tween Edwin J. Hamlin, Hillsboro editor with business interests in other parts of the county as well as in Alamance, John T. Manning. Ghhpel Hill lawyer, and Edwin S. Danis* of Chapel Oil, a Uni vanity employee presently serving in the Meand year of a tent year term u county commi uioner. All three men have waged vigorous cam patens since February. Hamlin has pressed his.camp afgn.in theJnlerest of a "balanced representation" for the county, pointing out that his wbrk as coun ty editor and reporter bring* him into contact with people, groups and activities throughout the area and that he therefore can repre sent the majority of people more accurately that the two Chapel Hilf men.' Manning has 'contended in public appearances that a lawyer should make the laws, ahd that he therefore is the most qualified can his. record In local government a* a major qualification for him. He resigned as mayor of Chapel Hill to accept the elected post of Coun pfectfed to*'retfgn from the County Board and take a leave from his University job next January to serve in the legislature. John ,W.*Umstead of Chapel Hill, keeking his 10th term in the House, hat no opposition and his name | Challenger Seen _ _ | will not appear on the ballot. I Other contests on the county ticket are for two ' seats - on tha Board of County CommLuionert and for ona on the Board of Educa tion Chairman R. J M. Robbs qf Chapel Hill and Incumbent Mem ber Sim L. Efland of Efland are seeking reelection against three challengers, Hugh Wilson of Orange Grove, Donald Stanford of Chapel Hill, -and Otis Evans of Route 3 Hillsboro. In this race the likehood of both positions being filled by candidates with clear majorities is considered ‘ slim. Hobbs and Efland, through their previous services on the Board, and Wilson and Stanfords a.' result* of^their candidacies two years ago and campaigns this year, are all well known throughout the county. Evans IS probably not as well known as the other four but has been getting arotfhd among hfa . ? friends in the interest of hu* can- -v~ . didacy. L John Hawkins .of Cedar Grqve, /filling out term on. the school board by apfjoihlme'nt.* is seeking a * full term in his own right He is being opposed by Verno'n Trues dale of Univerkity. Jamej R.

In all, it's a very busy time for all farmers. Walter Lloyd and Wiley Perry from the White Cross Community have both recently completed con crete stave silos which they are filling with small grain and grass, J. E. Latta had a mixture of -’mall grain and alfalfa that made a record yield of silage. Eric Tilley, whose farm is near Eno Power Plant, has in the past few year! seeded every available acre to a clover-grass mixture. He is now cutting 35 acres for hay tw be u.-cd next winter tot his 85 head of beef cattle. These cattle and 70 hogs are grazing On lush Orchard grass and Ladtuo clover pasture. Ted Coleman, young dairyman ,, from Sch'ey Community, has just finished clearing up 50 acres more of crop land, all of which will be u -*<? for the production of feed. , ,A. p. liovd of Etland has com pleted a three-room addition to his home. „ ^ Leroy Hall' of Hillsboro, who is one of the largest producers of grain, reported a 50% frost dam age to one of his barley fields. It seems that the freeze caught the barley ju •' at the wrong stage of maturity. Other barley which was in a different stage was not dam aged. " ' Clay Johnson and A. B. Latta of Schley Community are completing *■* new poultry1 houses. *
