, -(©>
Last Wednesday started another
school year at H.H.S. There have
been quite a few changes since
school was out last May. The rooms
have been floored and painted and
we aren’t as crowded .
We have two new high school
teachers. Mrs. Sam Gattis is re
placing Mrs. Paul Hodul in the
English Department and Mrs.
James Miller is replacing Mrs.
South in the Science Department.
Mrs. Miller is from Albertnarle and
this is her first year in Hillsboro.
We welcome Mrs.^Gattis back.
Mrs. Fred Cates is a new eighth
grade teacher and Mrs. Rue Wesley'
is a new sixth grade teacher. We
are glad to have Mrs. "Helen War
ren back, teaching a seventh grade.
We extend a hardy welcome to
all new students — some of these
come to Orange County for the
, first time this year. We couldn't
begin to name the Freshmen, but
some of the, upper classmen are:
Nancy Hayden, Barney Hayden,
Wanda Loman, Meredith Kitchens,
Patricia Dunn, Doris Dunn, Larry
Guy ton, Alene Collins and PrTillla
Rich.
“Mrs. Forrest has been absent for
a few days because of an operation.
Mrs. Van Kenyon is, teaching for
her until she returns. We wish her
a speedy recovery.
, The Hillsboro» High Wildcats:
opened the football season in the!
Eastern AA Conference by defeat-!
ing the Southern Rebels of Durham !
County 14-0. Ray Barnes started
out at quarterback and played a
good game. Barnes carried across
the 'first Hillsboro TD in the sec
ond quarter. In the third quarter
Garland Spangler received a long
pass from MonroC Knight for the
second and last W’ilcat touchdown
of the game.

Buzzy Jhe Clown Is Turning Painter;
Soys' EndOfBigTopWas Best, /?eo// y
By ROBIN FINl
. *
Buzzy Potts, famous former Ring
ling Brothers clown, looked lip
from the picture he was painting
in his quiet hospital room at Grave
ly Sanitorium, and raised bushy
eyebrows.
An ‘Air* Radiating
Even without the two big front
teeth, baggy pants and the dog,
Daisy, that identified him to mil
lions of circus-goers as a "happy
go-lucky-stupid” clown for almost
20 years, there is still such an "air
of fun and humor radiating from
this friendly middleaged man, that
one feels like laughing for no rea
son at all. r
Buxty the clown, la visibly .af
fected when hi ipbeks 6f the and
bf on *ra hone of us till aver
forget, the wonderful days of
“TUB ORBATEIT SHOW ON
EARTH!”—Although, it was bast
really. Traveling was so expen
sive and lots of times we were
overcharged," he says.
Buzzy Potts, as he is known to
his many fans, was born Delbert'
Curtis Rhaney on August 9, 1903.
He lost bbth parents before he was
two weeks old and spent the first
seven years of his life in an or
phanage.--=5
“When I was seven,” Buzzy re
calls, “they started to' farm me
out and one day, when I was about
12, a small circus came to town
and I went to see it. After the
show, I thought, That’s for me!’
and that night I ran away. I spent
most of the night in a big pipe that
went under the highway and about
two in the morning, I heard the
rumble of wheels as the circus
moved out. I joined up.”
No Questions Asked
Asked if- circus folk wondered
about the sudden appearance of a
strange young boy in their midst,
Buzzy just laughed. “Nope,” he
said. “Things were different back

■PILOT PROGRAM. The U. S.
Department, of Agriculture is ex
panding its Rural Development
program that,is designed to in
crease farm income, in some of
the Nation’s lowest farm income
areas.
The present undertaking, which
includes three North- Carolina
counties, is a pilot program that
is intended to find ways and
means to lift many rural areas
out of the economic doldrums.
Hie three counties in North
Carolina included in the experi
mental program are Bertie, An
son and Watauga. A total of 55
counties in 4 states have been
selected to carry out the experi
ment
PARKWAY. A Kentucky Con
gressman has started a move to
build a new national parkway
from the Great Smoky Mountain
National Park in North Carolina,
northeastern Tennessee, to Mam
moth Cave National Park in Ken
tucky.
The Congressman, Rep. Eugene
Filer, introduced a bill in the
closing days of Congress that
would set aside $175,000 for a
survey of the proposed project.
No formal action was taken, but
Rep. Filer is expected to push
his 'plan in the next Congress.
APPROACH. Under the .pro
gram, the Federal goverment,
through the various state exetrt
ion services, sends experts in
soil conservation, agricultural ec
onomics and other specialized
.gields into the pilot counties to
determine what is needed to in
crease farm income. - j
By working with individual
farm families, these experts wi’l
determine what is needed in de
pressed farm communities to lift
up th£ general rural econom c
level. ;
CHANGES. The Farmers,Home.
Administration has announced
that three part-time FHA lo al
offices in North Carolina will be
put on a full-time basis.
The subjoffice at Winton wil
be put on a full-time basis t
serve Hertford and Gates Coun
ties.
The part-time office at Wad s
boro,wilt become a full-time cf
fice to serve Anson County, which

He was silent for a long moment.
