Fire Causes
Heavy Damage
At Carr Farm
Guernsdel Farm, five miles south
of Hillsboro on Old Highway 10,
owned and operated by Dr. H. C.
Carr and Frank Spencer, suffered
a serious loss when two of their
large barns and a machinery shed
burned last week.
Nineteen purebred heifers and
one cow, together with several
thousand bales of good alfalfa
hay, went up in flames.
Mr. Spencer thinks the fire
started from spontaneous com
bustion in some green hay. He
was high in praise of the Hills
boro volunteer rural Fire Depart
ment, whose prompt fiction pre
vented the flames •from spreading
to several other nearby buildings.

Application Deadline Is Today
School Boards Stand Firm
On White Cross Area Policy
Students Must Apply
To Attend In Chapel Hill
Today is the deadline for
students in the White Cross
school attendance area, who
heretofore would have attend
ed school in Chapel Hill, to
file their applications for en
rollment and deposit their
tuition payment for next year.
County Superintendent G.
Paul Carr yesterday empha
sized that there has been no change
of policy by the Boards of Educa
tion since the recent defeat of the
annexation issue in that area and
“warned" that pupils whose appli
cations are not received, along with
tuition deposit, by the Chapel HMl
school authorities today will attend
school either at Hillsboro High
School or Central School in Hills
boro.
All Negro students in grades 1-12,
and all white students in grades 7
12 in the White Cross attendance
area heretofore have attended Chap
el Hill schools. There is no Negro
school in the district and the white
elementary school serves grades 1
through 6 only.
Information yesterday from Chap
el Hill was that applications and tui
tion had beerf received from some
15 white students who would be in
grades 10 through 12, but no applica
tions had been received from the
60'to 70 Negro students.
Prior to the election the Boards
of Education issued a joint state
ment indicating what would happen
the event the merger election
-passed and in the event it failed. It

now I becomes not
be carried out," said Mr. Carr, yes
terday.
He saidr persons in the area had
requested that classes to set up for
the 7th and 8th grade students at
White Cross and that this would be
considered, but an investigation
would have to be made to deter
mine if it is legal and feasible. He
said it would probably be up to the
state department which assigns the
teachers.
JUNIOR FOOTBALLERS
Coach Hugh Burch has issued a
call for junior high football prac

Monday at 4:30 p.m. at the Old
Gym for 7th, 8th and 9th graders
who wish to come out for the team.
THE HISTORIC NASH-HOOPER-GRAHAM HOUSE .... IN NEW HANDS
Historic Home
In New Hands
I)r. and Mrs. Alfred G. F.ngstrom of Cobh Terrace,
Chapel Hill, have purchased one of Hillsboro’s historic land
marks in one of the largest private real estate transfers in many
years.
It is the well-known Nash - Hooper House on Tryon
street, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Herman H. Brown since 1933.
The house has been virtually unoccupied for the past few
years since the Browns moved to
Arizona, where Mr. Brown was
sent because of his health and the
necessity for dryer climate.
Or. Engstrotn is a professor of
French at the University of North
Carolina and haa resided in Chapel
Hill for many years.
Both he and Mrs. Engstrom are
interested in the historic aspects
of the property because of their
special interest in 18th century
history. They also “fell in love”
with the place at first sight, how
ever, and Mrs. Engstrom is partic
ularly appreciative of the spacious
grounds and fine shrubbery and
trees on the three acre lot. They
plan some modernization of the
home, especially a new heating
plant, and hope to move in Octo
ber or November.
The Engstroms, nearing retire
ment, have no children, but said
they need the large place to house
the thousands of books in their
collection. Both are collectors and
wall space throughout the home
will be used for books.

TAKES OATH. RESIGNS, THEN BACK — Henry Brandis Jr.,
dean of the Univarsity of North Carolina law school, Chapel Hill, has
admitted in a+fect he made a legal mistake when he said he'd re
signed from the Chapel Hill school board, shortly after being sworn
in. Shortly after taking the oath of office for a six year term.
Brandis walked out of the meeting when the board rejected his
proposal to admit a Negro pupil to a white school. Since then he's
admitted jiis resignation wasn't legally effective and has asked to
sit with the board at an appeal hearing on the de-segregation at
tempt on August 31. North Carolina law, it seems, clearly indicates
that a public official can resign, but without acceptance his resigna
tion b nothing and he remains in office. Bfandis, however, has said
he hasn't changed his mind in the least about tha case itself.

32 Gridders Begin
Work At Hillsboro
By HARRY W. LLOYD
Thirty-two schoolboys turned out
Monday as the first workouts were
held for the upcoming Hillsboro
High School football team. After
physical examinations on Saturday,
the prospective athletes set into a
rigorous four-week schedule—of
pre-season drills.
Coaches Glenn Auman and Fred
Claytor welcomed back twenty boys
with experience on last years team,
which had a 5-3-1 record. One re
turnee was absent due to sickness.
Of the eleven footballers who
graduated last June, nine were
starters, thus there are nine posi
tions waiting to be occupied by
those who are capable of filling
them. The only starters back from
last year’s eleven are right end
Jimmy Ray and left halfback Wal
ter Swafney. The first hurdle that
faces the Wildcats is that of in
experience.
Two quarterbacks are in the run
ning for the job of directing the
Hillsboro T. Senior Richard Black
welder has the big edge in varsity
experience over 148-pound senior
Pat Qlayton. Blackwelder, at 155,
is apt as a runner and defenaiy*
man. Clayton tossed one TD pas4
>n ’58. but his biggest duty was on
defense.
Booter Joe- Barnes is in line to
inherit the fullback post from hia
Duke-bound brother. Ray. At 175,
Barnes is heftier than another
junior plunger, Daryl Wagner. A
180-pound freshman. Johnny Shani
bley, is putting in a fullback bid
also.
At halfback, the 162-pound
Swainey should have little worry.
Light footed Marvin Dickey, 140,
is the top choice to replace gradu
ated speedster Kenny Cook. Pro
mising freshman Lowell Petty, 150,
and sophomore Jerry Overby, 142,
may battle for honors. ^Junior Gene
Albright. 145, has a years know
how to his advantage.
There should be a real battle
going on between now and Sep
