Anniversary ceremonies of the Schley Grange last Sunday. Mrs. J. E. Latta, first lecturer of the Grange, gave the history of this community organization from its beginhing in the old school house, to the winning of Nationai prominence and the beautiful com munity building. — ••..■e-.--._~. State Master Harry B. Caldwell congratulated past masters of the Grange who were: J.„E. Latta, Har ry Woods, Marvin Phelps, Fred Reitzel, Leonard Wilson, Bill Miller and Allan Latta. Receiving 25 year certificates were: Mr. and Mrs. Ed Miller, Jack Mincey, Garland Mil ler and Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Wilson. In her talk, Mrs. Latta describ ed the revival of the Grange in North Carolina during the 1929-33 depression years, pointing out that Schley at its formal organization on September 19,1931 was among the first 125 to be organized. One of the first accomplish* ments, she said, was to improve the appearance of the deep cuts on the highway between Schley community and Hillsboro and to prevent the erosion that was tak ing place. Deep cuts which used to be high red eroding soil now seem to be small green valleys, beautiful to look at< she said. ■' ’ Among the services she cited wfliich enabled the Grange to win the Sean Roebuck national Com* (See SCHLEY, Page 7) The long-proposed Hospi tal - to - Bypass highway link will probably be constructed in the very near future as a result of the recent traffic congestion at the N. C. State Carolina football game. The new roadway would al so provide better access to parking fields near Kenan Stadium. It was reported at the County Com missioners meeting in Hillsboro on Monday that the State High- —. way Comniission was to survey a route for the highway link today. Petition Filed Last week, at the instigation of University officials, the County Commissoners petitioned the State Highway Commission for the con struction of this road. A previously selected route for the road was abandoned after meeting disapprov al from the University Building and Grounds Committee because it would have required a number of extensive fills and used a good deal of potential building area. It was understood thet the newly-proposed route followed the contours of Hie wooded area < south of the Stadium pnd would likely be acceptable. A future possiblity in connection with this roe ft is the clearing of on area fee- a ddcWng Jf* ***■*»*•*•* Stadium. the Commissioners also express ed concern at their meeting this morning over the settlement of thp County Welfare Department’s fraud charge against Mrs. Mabel Wingate McNear of Chapel Hill. After County Welfare Superin tendent Mrs. Jane Parker appeared before them the Commissoners di rected their Chairman, R. J. M. Hobbs, to confer with District So licitor W. H Murdock and discour- ' age any compromise settlement in the case an^ to insist on full re stitution of any funds illegally ob tained. - Mrs. McNear had been charged with illegally receiving about $4, 700 in welfare benefits since 1947. Freud charges against her were nel pressed this pest sum- ' mar and the defendant pleaded nolo contendere to a lesser of fense. CVner road petitions were pre sented by Ira Ward for Oakland Drive in his new Dimocks Mill development at West Hillsboro and Frank Umstead for an extension of Barc'av Road .15 mile near Chapel Hill. .. Frank Maddry, new collector of delinquent taxes, reported $882.26 collected during his first month on the job, during which he also travelled 1272' miles in 173 calls, "" uncovered six cases of failure to list taxes, and used up 114 gallons of gasoline, seven quarts of oil.
