"A Host Of Eager Newcomers . . 35 Wildcats Begin Practice By HARRY W. U.OYD With the firs? football game of the 1958 season less than three weeks away, the Hillsboro Wild cats are hard at work building a grid army to fight its battles in the upcoming District III wars. This Monday Coaches Glenn Au man and Fred Claytor put about 35 candidates through the first formal workouts of the fast-com ing year. At a glance the Wildcats would* seem a strong aggregation, boast' ing 16 lettermen among them. But on second look, those sixteen were team that won six of nine games the only men salvaged from the on the 1957 schedule, Missing are such performers as Charles Stan ley, All-Conference halfback who was the league's second high scor er; guard Mason Sykes; Tackle Vernon Petty; backfieldmen John ny Horne and Monroe Knight; line men Harry Neal Browa* "Danny Melton, Jersey R#y BeneviUe, Rob ert Sechrist, and Goober Riley. A host of eager newcomers, bol stered by many with savvy gain ed from Junior High experience but still hungry for big-time action, should give rise to Wildcat stock. At the signal-calling position there are two returnees well versed in handling the T-formation. Here the battle is between Harvey Rein hardt, who has won his stars the last two years as a starter, - and Richard Blackwelder, a junior who can equal Reinhardt as a field gen eral. Both quarterbacks * weigh about 155, but Rlackwelder is tal er than Reinhardt. Veteran At Fullback Ray Barnes, who has played ail] over the backfield, will be the starting fullback again this yeay. The 6-foot, 175 pound three-sport man might receive competition from his borther, Joe, 160 pound sophomore who likes to stick hts left toe into a pigskin and send it flying. Donald Pittman, a speedy 160 pound sophomore, and Ralph Queen, 165 pound junior, can offer much needed depth at this post. Coach Claytor has removed Ken ny Cook, who terrorized enemy quarterbacks as a defensive end last year, to the halfback positiou. The fleet Cook, who hit two grand slam homers as a Wildcat third baseman last spring, should help improve immensely the backfield situation. Opposite Cook,-. Walter Swainey, a hard and shifty run ner (147) who scored Hillsboro's only touchdown in a 7-6 loss to champ Henderson, has the inside track to a starting assignment. A ' (See WILDCATS, Page 6) ► (Special to the News) Taken as a whole, residents of Orange County are now In higher income brackets than are people in most parts of the State of North Carolina. % A larger proportion of them are lu the “have .more” category and a smaller proportion' are in the “have less” group.* - -- * This is made evident through a nationwide, county-by-county • break down of 1957 incomes, conducted by Sales Management. The copyrighted study reveals, \ for each community, whether the figure given as its “average in j come” represents earnings evenly ! distributed or whether it is made up of a small number of people [ with very high incomes compen;at | ing for a large ntlmber with de pressed incomes. Irt Orange County the more uni form situation prevails. Over 53.6 percent of local households have spendable incomes, after taxes, of $4.00(1 or more. This compares favorably with ! i he distribution of earnings in the i lest of the State of North Carolina, where only 46.9- percent of all householdsare in the plus $4,900 brackets. In the South Atlantic States there are 52.0 percent. In terms of everyday business, the local situation makes for a better I market. The average family can | afford finer food, better clothes, more luxuries and more vacations. The combined buying of a large segment of a population having middle-income earmngg or better, as in this case, results in more business and in a more prosperous (See INCOMES, Page 6) Negro Parents Cite Distance To Northside The Negro couple seeking assignment of their child to the Carrboro White Element ary School haVe filed a letter of appeal from the decision of the Board of Education earlier this month- denying their assignment request. The retpiest of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Lee Vickers of Carr boro to have their child assigned to the new Carrboro Elementary School was denied by the county board on August 11 on the grounds of the application’s ambiguity and the failure of the parents to appear at the board meeting at the time of the scheduled hearing as they were invited to do. in a letter written to the county superintendent August 15. Thomas Lee Vickers and- his wife, Lattis Vickers, said: “We, the undersigned parents of Stanley B. Vickers, age 10. residing in Carrboro. North Carolina, hereby appeal from refusal of the Board of Education to assign our child, Stanley B, Vickers, to the Carrboro Elementary School.

Paye 6) Social Security In 23rd Year 1,690 Orange County Folks Receive $76,890 Each Month August marks the 23rd birthday of the Social .Security Law, Mrs. Nina Matthews, manager, of the local Social Security Office stated today. Social Security has come, a long way since its humble beginning in 1935. At the present time more than eleven and one-half million people are receiving social security bene fits.
