I* FORTY-FIVE . . . °ugh an old newspaper WNDVP, Page 7) * Sheriff Is Restrained In Race Track Case |uage Clawson Williams* continues to hold in abeyance his decision on a request for a permanent i n j unction against the Sheriff of Orange County*to prevent his en forcement of the much-publi cized Orange County anti-racing law passed by the 1957 North Caro lina General Assembly. A temporary restraining order was issued by Judge Don K. Moore on September 16 and arguments in the case were.heaixl by Judge Wil liams here in- Hillsboro during the October erm of civil court, con cluded earlier this month. No de cision has been handed down. The action was brought by; Orange Speedway, Inc., Bill France, presi-1 dent, against Odell H. Clayton, Sheriff of Orange County, in an apparent effort to test"the legality .of the ac , which was introduced by Senator E.lwin S. Lanier to forbid cut' uobile and motorcycle racing events on Sundays and after 6 p.cn. on ether days. The act, ratified May 3. 1957, was the outgrowth of a drive.by the North Orange Minis ter! I Association and ether groups and individuals, to ban Sunday racin'/ in Orange County. In addi tion o banning races on Sundays and at night, the act requires heavy insurance coverage for spectators, racing competitors and track work ers and provides other regulations. In its complaint, the plaintiff, represented by Attorneys J. C. Sed bury and Robert G. Sanders, alleges it lias never conducted faces ex cept on Sunday and that M is not feasible, practical or profitable to' conduct them except on Sundays. I claims that in races conducted since 1954. the net receipts have been $99,931.70 after taxes and the net profits have been $19,813.72. . The plaintiff alleges that enforce ment of the act by the Sheriff con stRu.es a deprivation of property and property rights and maintains that automobile racing in which it was ■ engaged as promoter, is a legitimate business permUcrt under the General Laws of North Carolina and all of the 48 states. The com plaint alleges further that two races were planned betwen May 8 and Oct. 20 of this year on ^ both of which $10,000 in profit was ex pected. * The answer to the complaint, filed by County Attorneys Graham & Ranson on S4fwnber 24,- - admitted - seme of the long list of specific allegations in the complaint, claim ed no knowledge of the others, and asked that the request for a per manent restraining order be denied. | REQUESTS STOPLIGHT The Board of Education of Orange County has called upon the State i Highway Commission to place a i stop light at the intersection of Highway 70 and 86 and have it in operation during the hours before ! and after school. The action came at the last meeting of the board at the request of a delegation from | Central School and in consideration of the fact that a school child was killed on Highway 70 on Sept. 9. ►-----——-— Exchangeites To Sell Fruit Cakes Acta in The Hillsboro Exchange Club will again have available thse de licious Benson fruit cakes for pub- i lie sale. This will be the third year that the Club has offered j th?se cakes. The prices are. the! same as before: 3-1 b individual 1 v | sliced cake ft)r $3.25 'and- the 5 prund cake' for $5.50.

An Ex change Club member will be knock ing on vour door on the night of November 4 or the night of No vember 5. Pl°as^ remember when he,asks to sell you a ca,-e that, he is .work ing for a C;vic Community protect that is for evervone in the Com nv'oity to en’Ov if they desire. Al so remember, that h? is using his time and his car. h;s gas and fac ing the perils that go with night calling, to do this: these in addi tion to refunding you your money if you are not satisfied with your fruit cake. Whatman you lose? He’e the similarity ends. The $1200 00 to $2000.00 that the Club realized yearly from the stock car race concessions revenue Is not available any n*or*. So now. more fruit cakes must be sold to help off-set this loss, , , I Last season, there w«re not less than 10..000 visits made to the park, by mostly our local citizen-1 rv.
