The fish, from the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service Hatchery at Hoffman, N. C., begin the stocking of the ponds. Stocking will be com pleted early next summer with large mouth bass. Each of the ponds received the number of fish for which the pond can provide food for the maximum growth during the winter and early spring. It is important that they make the greatest possible growth during this time, the Soil Conserva tion Service points out, because after they spawn the available food will have to' be divided among too many fish for any of the, bream to grow rapidly afterwards. In the early summer, alter the bream have reached usable size and begin spawning, bass will be added to the ponds to aid in keep ing the bream population in check. The following farmers recevied fish yesterday: E. J. Blackley, and M. H. Hill., I St, Mary’s: Andrew Burnett. Stacy | Neville, W. Partin, A. B Whitfield. , and Ralph W. Morgan. Carrboro: 1 A. B.

Contracts fot the construction were let by the Orange County Board of Education Monday, total ling $220,366.58 including arch: j tect’s fees of $12,473. | Superintendent G. P. Carr told the Cameron Park PTA Tuesday night school officials were asking that the structure be finished by next September, but on the rec I ord of past performances- little ! likelihood was held that it would be completed by then. , The new wing will include 13 classrooms, an auditorium, a spar inus library and other auxiliaiy rooms and will be of identical or matching construction to the pres ent wing. The general contract was award ed to T. W. Poe Construction Co. of Durham for $157,15t. This IS the same firm which just recent ly, after 18 months work, complet ed the new gymnasium at the Hillsboro High School. Low bid ders among the subcontractors were Alliance Plumbing 4 Heat ing of Durham for plumbing. $8. 595: PaschaU Brothers Plumbing and Heating of Durham, for heat ing. S28.987; and Cdlwell Electric Co of Burlington. When finally completed, the Cameron Park, with some $20,000 in equipment added to the new wing, will represent an investment of over $550,000; Miss Hattie Brown Named BPW Club 'Woman Of Year' The Hillsboro Business and Pro j fessional Women s Club, as a part | of its participation in National Bus iness Women's Week October 5-11. has selected Miss Hattie Brown as Woman of the Year " • Miss Hattie" began clerking in Webb's S^ore in Hillsboro on July 1 1920, and continued clerking for others until March 3. 1933. at ' which *time chc opened "T1,e OrangFwSpecialtv Shop." a dress i t|,op of her own. Her advent into ! business was marked by the clos J ing of all banks in the United Lions1 Bulb, Candy Sale This Friday The Hillsboro Lions Club will conduct its candy and elect r i c bulb sale. Friday, from 4 00 to 9:00 n. ... . \ house to house canvass wilt be jde bv the members of the Lions ,b and public support is re ested. _ L'hairman of the sale. Lion F. E. vner will be assisted by co plains Ed Hamlin. C. B Parris^ n Johnston. John Ballard and lVer Clayton. The entire Lions ab will work with the above cap ns in promoting this sale. Home style candy and speua ckaged light bulbs will be tea -ed during the sale and 11 g0 to the Uions Club bettei ;ht program __ Slates two days later on March 5. a' program undertaken by the Roosevelt Administration to help forestall - the depression. This was not the catastrophe it might have been, for “Miss Hattie” had no money in the bank The hoped for economic upsurge did occurr and •The Orange Specialty Shop" pros pered. She continued to operate her business until January 10 of this •year, when she sold the dress shop and retired. When interviewed. “Miss Hattie" stated: “I want to thank everyone for their loyalty and faithfulness to me through these years.” Such tribute is justly Iters She was an esteemed and respected member of our business community. It is de siijable that her talents now be di Hillsboro's community life. * Pupil Dispute 'Status Quo' Is Maintained The most accurate report on tbg Orange-Person pupil assign men! dispute and the impending suit being prepared by Person County seems to be that the “status quo" remains. 'Sn* The matter came up for con siderable discussion at Nfonday’s meeting of the Board in Hillsboro, with these results: Board Member Clarence Jones, who instigated the rebellion against advisedly clear reading of the assignment. act of 1957, remained ; adament in his stand on aceept j ing the 13 Person students at Ay cock. County Attorqey A. Hi Graham, through the Superintendent, let 1* j be known he had no heart for de-! fending a suit in which the coun ty was obviously wrong. Board Member John Hawkins, who joined with Jones in the ac tion accepting the students, was absent. Chairman Charles W. Stanford said he had no interest in sticking by a decision in which they were obviously wrong, but concluded no action could be taken at a tw**< man meeting with Jones still re sisting. Board Member-Elect Ross Port er entered the discussion by urg ing continued negotiation by su perintendents and board members to work out a satisfactory solu tion, short of litigation. * Final conclusion: let the matter ride as it is, while trying to get rrre 'Terson BoartF » haw eff on its suit" until the legislature can meet and possibly amend the law to provide administrative remedy when counties disagree as is the case in the three county argument between Orange, Person and Cas well. * In formal action the board went completely elective instead of subject to legislative appointment as a present: Orange's Gun Totin' Tax Man Resigns Frank Maddry, delinquent tax collector In the Orange County tax department for the past two years, has submitted his resig nation. effective November 1. A gentle, kindly man, Maddry was possibly the only Lax col lector in the world who went about his duties wearing a. gun and blackjack. Maddry, a police officer and deputy sheriff for over two decades, was sworn in as deputy sheriff in order to be abie to serve as an officer of the law if such services were needed. There is no record that his weapons were ever needed in the tax collection post, but their availability on the hip of the collector often brought ! amused conversation Maddry will take a security position at Memorial Hospital | in Chapel Hill next month , and he carries with him a resolu tion of the County Commission ers, passed at last Monday’s meeting, commending him for “excellent service” in his tax collection duties. Odds are his successor, who is .likely to be setected at the meeting of the Board set for October 20, i<will not be hired as a "gun totin' ’* tfbllector.
