WOUNDUP, Page 2) Makepeace Plans Two ■ i 4 Meetings In County On New Roads Policy Electrical Inspection Bill 1 A far-reaching County-wide I electrical inspection ordinance was proposed- to the- County Commissioners on Monday. 1 liie detailed proposal, pre sented by County Attorney Sandy Graham at the previous request of tire Ci rrvmissioners, stem med from the Genercl Assembly's recent enactment of a bill requiring monthly electrical inspections of all public school buildings. Mr. Graham said he drew up the .Orange County-measure after con stitute with Durhan County au thorities about ,a; similar measure a.eny m force in the adjoining county. This new bill would Com pletely siipcrse ie an electrical in s; eclioti o le and ordinance passed by the County Board 10 years ago Sets Journeymen Standards Whereas in the past anybody has I been permitted to do electrical work on his own property, the new pro tposal sets standards for journey men electricians and .restricts with such qualifications those who may ‘mb electrical work. It also requires the- issuance of an electrical work permit before a job is started in stead of by, the time of its com pletion. as does the existing ordin ance. Another reasons for considera tion of the comprehensive new measure, Mr. Graham explained, is that many persons not qualified to do so are now doing home j electrical and wiring jobs.. 1 'The Commissioners also appolnt I ed Sam Magill, the University's j Director of Student Activities, to ! the three-man Greater Chapel Hill District Tire Commission, succeed 1 ing Gran Childress who recently moved to Henderson.

While the Wildcats are perched atop the District Three AA league by virture of their fjve straight victories, Roxboro in definitely the favorite on the basis of its scores against mutual foes. However, the Hillsboro team, smarting under heart-breaking defeats the past two years by Roxboro, has an'extra "incentive tt main{aifi3s league lead” ership and undefeated record! _ Roxboro won last year 14-13 after Hillsboro led 13-0 until the last quarter. The previous year, when Roxboro won the league title, the Hijlsboro team led 13-0 at the half before succumbing to ‘Rox boro’s last half splurge and a .19-13 defeat. ... ,j Roxboro has beaten Oxford, 33-6, Northern Durham 20-7, Southern Durham 35-0, while losing to Elizabeth Cfty^and Henderson, two of the top AA teams of the State, 12 6 and 13-7 respectively. The Rockets of Coach George Cushwa reportedly are pulling out all stops in an attempt to knock the Wildcats from the top spot tor morrow night. The season’s largest crowd is expected for the encounter, which will see Hillsboro in good condition except for, the absence of the'hos pitalized Danny Itay Melton, the 260-pound tackle, and the doubtful physical condition of Halfback Monroe Knight, who has been hamper x44?y a knee injury. .. ...:.. .. ... .. .

He said Membership Committee men art* looking forward to a suc cessful campaign this year and pointed oof the drive is only one day, October 15. "There is a real need to streng then the voice of Agriculture," the chairman said, "for as the per- [ eentage of farmers goes down, it becomes imperative that we organ ^S rSi^vetorp. cBjr own*policy and to see that" if Is put into effect."

Oct. 15 is the day Resolution Is In Opposition To Cates' Plan The TOwn Board of Hillsboro moved vigorously Tuesday night to prevent the location of a post office for Hillsboro on a proposed site on \he west side of ChurtoO Street near the Eno ftiver bridge. A resolution opposing the lo cation of the postoffice on this site was passed by the board unan imously. charging that such a Id eation “would not only be moat inconvenient to the* patrons of the Hillsboro Post Office, but would in fact be a-distinct hindrance to the growth and progress of the said Town of Hillsboro/’. Although not mentioning him by name the board's action is aim ed at heading off Fred Cates Jr., local businessman, in his efforts to construct a building under a lease agreement witn tne govern ment for use as a postoffice on the property near the site of the old livery stables, which were torn down several months ago. While no formal announcement has been made by the postoffice department, it is generally known that Cates has been negotiating for such a contract to provide Hills boro a new postoffice building and the board apparently acted on in formation that the government’s acceptance of Cates' proposition was imminent. Cates Jnis recent: ly been awarded sufTh a leaae for a postoffice buHding he ia to construct in Spencer, it was point ed out to the board. Several other sites and lease proposals have been submitted during-the past several month* hot have been irtiable to win official approval. The- Hillsboro board’s protest is being forwarded to t|e Postmaster Cenerai. ’ Congressman Durham and Senators Scott and Ervin. The comDlete text of the pro test resolution is as follows: "WHEREAS, it has come to the * attention of the members of the Board of Commissioners of the Town of Hillsboro that the United States Post Office Department is considering the possibility of en tering into a contract of lease of a building for a post office in Hillsboro, and that the propo^3$ ' site of said building is close to the bank of Eno River on the West side of Churton Street; and "WHEREAS, it is the unanimous opinion of the Board of Commies* ioners of the Town of HjHaboro that said location would not only be most inconvenient to the „pa trons of the 'Hillsboro PostjOffice. but would in fact be a distinct hindrance to the growth and pro gress of the said Town of Hills boro:;. ' - •NOW. THEREFORE, it is the unanimous opinion of the mem bers of this Board that their du ties and responsibilities as mem bers o.t said -Board require strong and determined, opposition to the location of said post olface as above mentioned. “Further that a copy of this res olution be forwarded to the Post (See PROTEST. Page «> Fire Inspection Brings To Light Major Defect Orange County Electrical In spectors J. L. Rosemond and Frank Morrow1 told the County Com missioners Monday that their first month’s inspection of schools un der the new law passed by the 1957 leg:slature produced only "minor defects’ with a single ex ception. Rosemond said the most serious electrical defect found was at the Murphy School where the discon nect switch was seen as too small, and Superintendent G. P. Carr said that new wiring was being in stalled this week to correct the fault. Morrow said all of the Chapel HilJ-Carrboro schools that he had inspected were -in good shape ex cept for the "minor defeatea” and •**r •" Rosemond’s report contained sim ilar findings. Several fire haxards such as trash under the stage and contrations in other out-of-may places, gasoline in one or two buildings and fire extinguishers not recently renewed, etc. were reported on the detailed reports, copies of which went to the Prin cipals for correction of such items within his jurisdiction. The, reports were made when the Inspectors were called before tye commissioners to set the fbes for such inspections which fenve to be made monthly under the new law. They had no suggestions, how ever, and the fee question this continued for another month to permit additional experience and ntjuiries to other counties.
