(See “DOC”, Page 8) Dog Vaccinations Lag Dog vaccination clinics for Or ange County are now being held and County Dog Warden Cashe Boggs says that in most areas dog owners are not attending the clinics. A schedule-of vaccination clin ics in the various communities is published in each issue of The News and Boggs urges dog owners to refer to this schedule and meet him at the most convenient place. The fee for vaccination is 75 cents per animal at the clinics and if the warden gpes to the-owner’s home to vaccinate the dog $1.50 each will be charged. Owners * who fail to get their dogs vaccinated- during the clinics which end May 1 will be charged $1.00 for each dog vaccinated lat er and will also be subject to pen alties prescribed by law. | The warden issued this state ment: “Rabies is a dangerous disease of man and animals. It is trans mitted through the bite of a rabid animal. The cause of rabies is a i tiny virus, that is carried in the 1 saliva of a rabid animal.

Suggestion » Brings Cates Cash, Praise Scott Cates, Clerk at the Hills boro Post Office was, this week, presented with a Certificate of Award and a check for thirty-five dollars from the Post Office De partment, as official commenda tion and appreciation for contri buting a suggestion for the con struction of a mail vestibule to be used as a depository for Highway Post Office mail. The letter from M. W. L. Craw ford, Regional Opeartions Director, erads in part: “At your sugges tion, a small vestibule or deposi tory has been built at a moderate cost, and the outgoing mail can be placed in this promptly at 6:00 for collection by the Highway Post Office crew when it arives approx imately an hour later. Not only does this save approxiamtely an hour a day in clerk hire, but it makes the box section portion of the lobby available to patrons in the evening. This is an important change which is estimated will save approximately $715.00 a year, and, even after the cost of the vestibule is amortized and charged against this, there should be a net saving of approximately $670.00. Equally significant as this saving is the better service to patrons.” ON TV Twelve students of the Hillsboro High School Home Economics De partment of which Mrs. Glenn Au man is teacher, will model dresses they havel made in class on the Peggy Mann Show next Tuesday afternoon from 1 to 1:30 o’clock on station WTVD. — A Municipal Election With Issues To j f Three incumbent members of the Hillsboro Board of Commissioner* bave^ now filed for re-election, ai has Mayor Ben Johnston, who will be seeking his 13th term.

Ballard has not yet filed for re-election. Deadline for filing for election in the May 5th municipal election is noon on Monday, April 6. Catos Opposition__ Hillsboro’s veteran Mayor John ston is being opposed by Fred Cates, local business man, who has been an active candidate for the past year and is waging his cam paign on the issue of changing Hillsboro’s Mayor-Council form of government to a City Managership. In his campaign talks, Catos has declared he will advocate elimination of the job of Town Clerk, now held by Mrs. Char lotte Cole, and combining this salary, $2,900, and the Mayor's salary, $900, with other fund* to enable tho hiring of i trained city manager to administer the affairs of the town under the guidance of the policy-making board. He proposes his salary as Mayor would be $1 per year. Opposes PO Annex Yesterday, Mayor Johnston him self had a ready-made issue against Isis opponent and challenger, Cates. Cates, who a year ago success fully challenged the town admin istration and secured a contract lease to construct a new postoffice on a site opposed by the town Fathers, Tuesday began construc tion of another building adjacent to the new postoffice to house an automatic laundry, thereby elim inating the specified circular drive around the postoffice and to the congestion on the curse H bridge entrance at the southern edge of town. The new laundry-annex ante the Postoffice immediately brought howls of protest Irani citizens throughout the common ity and Mayor Johnston deaerih* ed himself as "iust stele*' ever the action. He views the additional building as bringing further traffic hazard to the area and new danger for, drivers and pedestrians in the bridge area. He has asked the High- ~ way Department to study the attua* tion, and others have indicated the Postoffice Department will be con sulted to ascertain if the additional building is to be countenanced.

Capitol Bill Will Pass There was much more activity in the asembly this past week than there was during the preceding weeks since it convened the first week in February. Action was tal$ en on several important measures and there was surprise at some of the action taken. The first surprise was when th" senate postponed action on the measure calling for the appoint ment of a commission to make plans for the erection of a four and one-half million dollar State Capitol building. The Bill had pass ed the House and had been ap proved by the Senate Committee on State Government with only one vote being cast against it. Sen ator Williams, of Stanley, cast this vote. He again opposed it when it came to the floor of the Senate and was joined in the opposition by Senators Warren, Hamilton and others. When the vote was taken Senator Williams’ motion that the Bill be delyaed until the approp riation Bill was passed prevailed by the close vote of, 23 to 22. Thus the plans for the State Capitol building must wait until the Ap propriations Committee has acted on the proposal. The feeling is that the Bill will eventually pass The fact remains, however, that there are many members of the Assembly who think that some other things'are quite as important as this State Capitol building. During the week there was final passage of the Prison Industries Bill by the Senate, which Bill had been passed by a good majority in the House. Since I was one of the signers and a strong supporter of this piece of legislation in the House I was especially interested in this Bill. My interest in this matter dates back to 1953 when I signed the first Bill to separate the Prison Department from the Highway Dept, to the end that more concern might be given to rehabili tation of the prison population. This Bill was killed in committee by a close vote of 9 to 8. In 1955 1 found that there was much senti ment for the separation of the Prison and Highway Departments. There were those, however, who thought the matter should be £iven more study and consideration. Thinking that it was best to go along with this idea I signed a BiH along with others to have a commission make a further study of the matter, and" as a result of this study a Bill was introduced j in 1957 by me and others making! (Continued from Page i) Bitt winu rKUM jumcwheKc—Last Friday afternoon's wind and rain storm did spasmodic damage throughout the area. Meet spectacular, probably, was to this building at West Hillsboro, a block-front storage warehouse next door to the Hillsboro Savings & Loan office. A quick gust of wind knocked off the complete front, as the picture shows, and sent blocks sailing all the way across the street. Mesc/ames Knight, Rundgren Local Cancer Crusade Leaders Mrs. Charles Rundgren and Mrs. Bobbie Knight, of Mountain .View, will serve as co-chairmen of the Hillsboro Cancer Crusade, it was an nounced yesterday by J. S. Nagel schmidt, Cancer Crusade Chairman for Orange County. This year, according to Mr: Nagel schmidt, ‘not one inch of Orange County will be overlooked in the aggressive campaign to educate all | residents to go to their doctors if I any of the seven danger signs of j cancer appear. “Americans have always worked together to solve important prob lems. Cancer is one of the mast important, for it makes no distinc tions between rich and poor, farmer or city-dweller, old or young. It is the number two disease killer in the United States.” Mr. Nagelschmidt pointed out that j Crusade volunteers will not only ring doorbells to collect funds, but j will distribute life-saving informa tion about cancer. The literature dresses the value of periodic health aheckups to "guard your family,” ae said. The ultimate goal is com plete victory in the war against can rer, which claims about 255,000 lives ;ach year. The American Cancer Society un- j ierwrites a national research pro gram which employs some 1,000 top : 1 i g h t scientists in laboratories hroughout the country. In the Hillsboro drive, Mrs. Knight j and Mrs. Rundgren will be assisted ay some 15 captains, some of whom will also solicit-funds, and by numer- j ms other crusaders who will call on ?very home in the Hillsboro area, leginning on Sunday, April 5.
