W =» SB g^fepsn S Meadow ne Retired On October 31 38 Years As Rural Mail Carrier Brought Many Unusual Experiences To E. C. Liner, Hillsboro fcwell c. liner, riding on horseback through snow drifts up to the animal’s stomach, was the only rural mail cartie* in North Carolina to make the rounds that icy day back in 1921. That is only one of many in teresting recollections of one of Hillsboro’s most active citizens who retired from the postal ser vice last Friday, October 31, af ter 38 years service, lacking one .month, as a rural mail earner. Mr. Liner began his duties on December fl, 1920 when the late George C. Lynch was postmaster. Since that time he has served on three of the four rural routes originating at the Hjllsboro post office during that^ period. His first service was on Route 4, a three-times-srweek route in those days which was later incorporat ed into the three routes remain ing today. He has been the car rier for Route 1 since the re tirement of Mr. Charles M. Walk er Sr. in 1951. That first route. Mr.', recalls, was 22 miles long whicp he carried in seven hours bjr horse and buggy on the pooe roads of that day. He transferred to the Model T, part time, about 1924 and has used about 20 au- j tomobiles since that time. His last route was 51.44 miles long, Mr. Liner’s greatest pride as a mail carrier is that his 38-year personal record with Uncle in Washington contains not a single blemish, those annoyiQg' and oftentimes unjustified r** ports which are made by irate patrffirir about the service they are receiving from the mail car rier. Amusing incidents there are many, including the time aq apprehensive - mother brought her infant to the mail box to ohs tain Mr. Liner’s confirmation that the baby favored its father, at that time confined in a far away mental hospital, . (. ' Ewell C. Liner Mr. Liner has been active through the years in many civics and church activities. For many years he has been secretary treasurer of the Orange County Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance . Association, which has 300 ^em bers. He was a charter member of the local Lions Club. As for retirement, Mr. Liner says he has already begun a. new job as salesman for a local auto dealer and will devote more time to promoting the fire in surance company he has helped pull out of the hole to a position of financial independence. Chandler Cates, formerly Mr. Liner’s substitute carrier, will serve as temporary carrier until an investigation can be made_by the ‘ regional postoffice officials to determine the feasibility of consolidating Routes 1 and 2 froth Hillsboro.

Orange County now has a meat inspection ordinance to control the slaughter of meat-type animals in compliance with a 1957 enactment of the General Assembly. The ordinance makes it unlaw iulifir anyperson or firm to selL offer for sale or process any bed, veal, mutton, lamb, goat or swine unless it has been subjected to in inspection by as official veterinar ian approved by tHe County Com missioners within 24 hours prior to and 24 hours after the slaughter ings An official Orange County meat stamp was approved for use in im plementing the ordinance and Dr. W. H. Vanderbilt, Durham veteri appointed the offieiel meat inspector for Orange County. Dr. Vanderbilt "has been handl ing the inspection for Farmers Ex change Livestock Marker pKor to this time^The Exchange carries on a custom slaughtering service for . farmers primarily but about 25% goes into commercial channels. Piedmont Packing Company, the county’s major meat processing firm, is virtually unaffected by the ordinance inasnuch as it already is one of 12 firms in North Carolina which has adopted a much higher “voluntary plan” of inspection ad ministered under the jurisdiction of the Department of Agriculture. Meat thus bearing the brand of the U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry Dr other recognized official agency indicating it has been legally in spected will be permitted to be sold under this ordinance 'Without ad ditional inspection. The ordinance was effective im mediately Upon its apprdviji, Mon day by, the commissioners*. The ordinance Covers the handl ing of meat only when it is to be offered for sale. It does not involve animals which are slaughtered for consumption by the owner. Board Declines To Raise Court Salaries This Year The Board of County Commiss ioners Monday declined to approve a requested increase in the salaries Of the judge and prosecuting at torney: of thej Orange County Re corders Court.

Cole, both of Chapel Hill, are the present incundBBte. Phipps hits been judge sindMfau-t was established in 1946. cSeis this, month complet ing his first two-year term. They are now paid $2,250 and $1,900 res pectively for. the one-day-a-week* service. , Mr. Sawyer, making a strong plea for the Bar recommendations, praised highly the service of both men and said both are servin'!" a$ court officials at a financial sacri fice, inasmuch as they are prohib ited from a large area of legal practice. In the case of Phipps, Mr. Sawyer asserted, his salary as Judge probably does ’ not pay his office overhead for the day he serves on Five More Jno Plant People Get 25-Year Service Awards Five Eno Plant people will .re ceive honors for completing a quar ter of a century service on Satur day night, November 15.

New Industry Group Pushes Stock Sales The new industry committee of the Hillsboro continued to secure pledges of stock purchase this week in their drive to obtain funds to construct a building for rental to Southern Garment Company, the in temporary quarters near Efland. The committee, meeting Tuesday reported that pledges were near the $25,000 mark, about half way of the goal of $50,000 set at a mass meet ing -of-eitizens three weeks ago. Meanwhile, the committee learned, threats of labor difficulties at the young plant had been large ly discounted. William Friedman, plant owner, said he had not been approached by union representatives or em ployees seeking recognition of W union. He said he was aware that some of his employees were mem bers of the Garment Workers un-' ion, but he anticipated no “trou ble” nor did he anticipate a “strike” as had been rumored last week. ■ Morton Shapiro, representative of the ILGWU in Greensboro, told a reporter, likewise, that any union activity at the plant is unauthor ized as far as the union is con cerned: and no work stoppage is con templated there now or in the fore seeable future. To the list of those reported last week as having pledged stock may be added Wallace Bacon, J. E, Terreth Charles JM. Wood and Arthur Hayes. Beaten By Roxboro Wildcats Close Season Friday At Home In Game Against Apex By HARRY W. LLOYD The District champion Roxboro footballers converged furiously upon the injury-riddled Hillsboro Wildcats to win a Halloween Night battle by 4&7 in the victor's park.

Dickey, guards; and Bean Kennedy, center. Playing without three of the starters and with two not in top condition, the despirited Wildcats at Roxborp played almost a com plete reversal of the previous week's 40-0 win.

Marvin Teer made the extra tally after the third quarter score! ~~-~~--—~ Powerful,Halfback Charles Hedge peth barrelled 120 yards in seven teen carries, scored 19 points, and intercepted two" passes in leading the Rockets to the win.

Roxboro scored again the next time they got possession, the TEf coming at the end of a time-con suming 8^-yard drive gpring which tey gained 6 first downs.

Near-the end of. the second quar ter, Elmer Black dashed from the Rocket 45 to the Hillsboro one, ^set ting the stage for Hedgepeth's one yard crash for the score. Cozart again converted on-a line buck. On the-seoond play--of -the last half, a Roxboro ball carrier drop ped a'fumble that was recovered by guard Odas White of the Wild cats. Seven running plays advanced the ball from the Hillsboro 43 the Roxboro 43, from Which the Rein hardt-Cook .scoring pass was ex ecuted. An ehd-around with Marvin -Teer carrying got the extra point.

Next: Tuesday has been pro Armistice Day prior to Flying Axe Hits Walker Car On Rocid Attoney Bonner Sawyer, plead* tng to the County Commissioners Monday lor raises for the judge and solicitor of the county court, opined that being judge bj^fMny respects was a hazardous task. He pointed to the slayfinp of a judge in an eastern county by a crazed or crack-pot criminal and said our own judge, of course, might bo subject to the same treatment. All of which moved Commiss ioner Henry S. Walker to point out in an aside that being com* missioner also had its hazards. Mr. and ^irs. Walker wore re turning from Durham one day last week in their automobile when an axe suddenly fell upon their car's front hood and shat tered the windshield in front of them. Investigation later proved a slightly • inebriated wood-cutter, working on a bank high above . the highway, peeved at being un able to chop down the tree on which he was korking, had flung the axe as far as he could send it, not realizing in his state of sobriety thft he might bo en dangering the lives and damag ing the property of passersby on the highway below.
