NbiHitter Features H. $. Win By HURRY LLOYD When a Witcher has 18 runs scored is hisj favor in a single base* ball game, Jae doesn’t have to re sort to shutout tactics in order to be the winn*er of the struggle. Baseball hiftrlers usually would rather save ’ their best- defensive performance for the days when their teammtates don’t rack up many talliesa on their side of the ledger. Hillsboro Is 18-0 rout of Graham on Tuesday was not only noted by the tremendous score piled up by the home team, but by the pitch ing gem turned in by senior right hander J. B. Howard. The Red Dev ils weren’t only deprived of the chance to dent the plant, but How ard’s slants: notched for him the magic word of baseball—a no-hit ter. Only 24 batters faced him in seven innings. The only man to be walked was erased on a double play. Three Hillsboro infield er rors marred otherwise brilliant fielding, and allowed three base runners for the visitors. Kenneth Cook was the batting star for the Wildcats. His three (See NO-HITTER, Page 8) Girl Scout Fund Drive Stitt Open An emergency Fund Drive for the Hillsboro District of the Bright Leaf Gi$i Scout Council, with G, Paul Cafcr, chairman, was hedd last worker* taking part Taylor, Calvin tail ■Chandler Cates, Marion Clark and George Hunt.

Mrs. Jeff Jenkins was walking on the main street Saturday and found, a payment book containing $45 belonging to Floyd Cooper. She gave it to Hunt who called the owner, and needless to say how pleased he was to recover the loss. Legislative Report Umstead Is Undecided On Lanier Election Bill A By JOHN W. UMSTEAD On Wednesday of last week the Legislature went to New Bern by bus and held it's sessions in the restored Tryon Palace. The Senate meeting in the council room, and House meeting in a large room in the basement. The completion of this project started in 1945 by a small appro priation from the Legislature was made possible by the generous gifts of the late Mrs. Maud Moore Lath am of Greensboro, and her daugh ter and son-in-law, Mh-»aijd Mrs. ■John A. Kelienberger. Without their generous gifts the complete restoration would have, perhaps, been impossible. The people of the state, as well as tourists from all over the United States owe a vote ot thanks to these fine persons making this restoration possible. The extent of the restoration is hard to believe unless ■yon go there and see it with your own eyes and then you will wonder how it was possible’ to completely re store the palace after so many years having elapsed since it’s des truction by fire. A trip to see the palace is well worth while. 1 pre-1 diet that thousands of North Caro linians, as well as thousands of tourists will see it as the years go by^ A Bill was introduced during the week raising the minimum retire ment paid retired persons from $60 to $70 per month. This can be done without an appropriation since a sizable sifrplus has ac cumulated in retirement funds and it will be paid out of this sur plus. This piece of legislation gives me much satisfaction since I was the original introducer of a Bill paying a minimum of $50 per montlr to those teachers who had taught in the public schools of the state 20 years or more. The mini mum was raised to $60 in 1957, and now is practically certain to be raised to $70. The increase is not very much but it is enough to give these fine old persons some things that they have not been able to -have in the past. The measure before the House , of Representatives during the week which provoked the largest debate and longest session was the Mini mum Wage Bill. The Bill had come before the House from committee (See UMSTEAD, Page 2) * EFLAND SCOUTS AND THEIR GO-CARS will present on* of I tho feature events at the annual Occoneeche* Council Boy Scout Circus at Raleigh this Saturday.
