Brandis Quits The Chapel Hill School Board Monday night rejected for the sec ond time a Negro application to attend a white school there. Because of the rejection, Henry P. Brandis Jr., dean of the Law School of the University of North Carolina and a member of the board, submitted his resignation. | The board accepted it. The board turned down the ap plication of Stanley Vickers to at tend either the Carrboro or the Chpael Hill elementary school by the same vote of four to two as they did Aug. 3. Secret Session Their action was taken in a se cret session following an apepal hearing at which the 10-year-old boy, his parents and their lawyer were present. Dean Brandis and the Rev. J. R. Manley, a Negro minister, voted for the application. Four other members, Grey Culbreth, Mrs. Marvin Allen, R. E. Jamerson and Charles Milner voted against it. After the secret session, the board reconvened in public session and Dean Brandis said he was submit ting his resignation. Culbreth moved to accept it. The vote was three to two for accepting the re signation. Dean Brandis resigned after the Aug. 3 meeting, but the board re fused- to accept his resignation at that time.

Jimmy (See DAIRY SHOW, Page 8) Open On September 11 Wildcats Round Into Shape By HARRY W. LLOYD The Hillsboro High Wildcats, with, another week left before they play their first game on Septem ber 11, are rounding themselves into shape for the coming season. Five new players have joined the team since the first week of work outs, and the squad membership now stands at 36. Edward Norris, a tackle who gained experience on the 1958 team, and Buddy Wheeley, a sen ior without previous varsity work who harteen looking sharp in workouts, should prove a big help to Auman and his crew. Jack Dowdy, an end, and defensivemen Bill Ward and Wesley Cook can help to bolster the team at vtial positions. The Wildcats are two-deep in returnees at almost every position. There are seven backs who saw ac tion with last year's eleven, and 13 linemen. There would have been at least two full teams of ex perienced men, but halfbacks Skip Isenhour and Donald Pittman are not playing, and end George Dick-* son was lost last week. Two freshman backs are already pressing hard for positions. John ny Shambley, a 180-pound fullback, is fast learning the tricks of play ing at the plunging post. Shambley seems to possess sufficient speed : and power to make him a contend er for a regular spot at a short date. At right halfback, 130-pound southpaw Lowell Petty looks very good as a runner and passer. The overall backfield speed should be Improved over last sea son despite losses at three posi tions. Holdover left halfback Walt Swainey has picked up more speed; quarterback Richard Black welder is much faster afoot than departed QB Harvey Reinhardt. At right half and fullback, Marvin Dickey and Joe Barnes should be just as fast as the college-bound aces that they replace. The alternates in the backfield aren’t slow, either. Quarterback Pat Clayton, who will run the team when regular QB Blackwelder moves to halfback or comes out, is improving steadily both at the running and passing game. Soph Jerry Overby is a scooter at half back, as is Petty. Gene Albright and Daryl Wagner have added more zip to their paces. Up front weight has been sacri ficed for agility in the starting lineup. With centers Wayne Dav is, 140, and Freddy Sharp, 145, who run one-two in the middle, Auman has shown that he pre fers speed and experience to mere weight. Don Terrell, a 180-pound er, presently is the No. 3 man in the pivot. y Two-dog guards, Odas White and David Walker, average only 142 pounds, but are ahead of such heavier conteiiders as Mousie Sprouse, 235, and Bert Reed, 160. Billy Mishoe, the heaviest start er at 205, anchors the left tackle. Opposite him in the line is Nicky Kenyon, 170-pound senior. Also at tackle, where the depth is quite satisfying, are Butch Raynor, Joe Gates, Norris, and Wheeley. Two well-experienced ends, Jim Ray and Marvin Teer, should be quite capable at the terminals, both as pass catchers and on de fense. Depth here is supplied by Dwight Riley, Gene Knight, Jack Knight, Jack Dowdy, and Mike Ray. Hillsboro fans may take a pre view peek of the Wildcats tonight. The coaches have planned an in tra-squad game on the school field. If all goes as planned, the lights at the racetrack should be ready for the game next Friday night. If the bids on the job are accepted this week, the construction should be completed in time for the first game of the season to be played on the new field.

Death and taxes rarely take a holiday la the old adage known to all and this Labor Day, 1*5», will be no exception at least insofar as (he latter is con cerned. Drive carefully to forego the former. Cole To Head Boy Scout Fund Drive In Hillsboro Next Month Plans are beginning to take shape for the annual Boy Scout fund drive in Orange County, tentative ly scheduled for the first week in October, simultaneously with other communities throughout the Oc coneechee Council.

Old Belt Mart Opening Delayed Again Mebane, Roxboro and other to bacco markets in the Old Belt As sociation will open on Monday, September 14th, it was announced at noon Monday after a meeting of market representatives was held in Danville, Va. W. Nat Terry, president of the Old Belt Association, said in a tele phone conversation that a majority of the markets had agreed to set the opening date to Sept. 14th, from the date set last week of Sept. 10th. The markets were originally set to begin sales on Sept. 8th. The original delay of two days cirres ponded to those adopted in the Middle Belt and the Border Belt. Some of the buying com panies had sought a delay until the 15th to give1 them more time to wind up sales in other belts. Terry pointed out this morning that a number of buying companies had indicated to him they would be unable to place buyers on the Old Belt markets until around the 14th, and one company said it might be the 17th of September. Freeland Hurt In Fall From House Roof James Freeland fell 16 feet to the ground from the roof of a house he was working on in Mountain View Estates Monday morning and jsjow a patient in Watts Hospital receiving treatment. It is reported he stepped ott a board at the eave of the roof and one side was not nailed down. He j narrowly escaped landing on a large pile of brick, although one leg did hit them.

Applications 1 Ca m I* w*. m ror I ransrer Are Picked Up Orange County schools art open again, with the usual attendant quickening ot thd community pace and flurries of excitement. A new wrinkle, earlier reg** istration, based on additional days of teacher assignment, brought ' the students to school on Tuesday for a half day of registration and non-teaching orientation. Clasaat got underway formally yesterday. The enrollment picture early yesterday remained clouded with exact opening day figures from at least one school still unavail* able. But generally it appeared slightly tower in all units. Hits was attributed to the earlier open ing and additional students nre expected at all units in the next few days as the session gets thP derway.__'_• |i Applications Stemming from the transfer ot moot of the Negro students, elem entary and high school, from the White Cross attendance area in southern Orange to Hillsboro?! Central School, some 15 to M miles distant, brought at least two requests for Transfer of Assign* ment blanks. All Negro itudsntl in that area heretofore have at tended school at Chapel Hill, bat failure of the merger vote with Chapel Hill last mopth and the in stitution of tuition requirements excluded them from the Chapel Hill schools, , It is presumed the^appUcations, }if jiserf, would .saak feM* p m i white White Cross Elementary [School since the deadline for pay ing the tuition and going to Chap* el Hill is passed and the White Cross school is the only one in the logical attendance area. From White Cross Seventy Negro students from White Cross were in attendance at Cejntral yesterday and 32 White students from that area ware brought by bus to Hillsboro High, all of the latter except three or four being In Grades 7 A 8. The Negro stu4ents ranged in grades from 1 to 12. Ayeock Principal Gene Duke reported his first day school at tendance was 35 below last year’s. He reported to Superintendent Carr further that the same Orange students who attended Prospect Hill in Caswell County last year had enrpifed there again this year in violation of this county’s assign ment. The Board of Education pre viously has indicated it will seek a restraining order against the Caa well school board if it persists in accepting the students this year. Following are fhe first day en rollments. with the exception of Hillsboro High School, which could not be ascertained: (the second fig ure in parenthesis is last' year’s opening day enrollment) Cameron Park 750 (458), new 12-teacher unit (See WHITE CROSS, Page 5) Check Your Equipment Labor Day... And Rain The chances of getting caught in the rain will be higher this Labor Day than usual, mathematically speaking. According to the U. S. Weather Bureau, rainy weather oc curs on an average of one out of three Labor Day weekends, and the last two Labor Days have been free from rain. Rain may or may not ruin holiday picnics and outings' But it can and does tie traffic in knots by obscur ing ^rivers’ vision and slowing cars down to a crawl. Worst yet, it causes many accidents when driv ers can't s.ee clearly. This warning, issued by the High way Visibility Bureau, points out that 90 per cent of driving deci sions depend on sight. Rain brings added problems with wiper-streak ed windshields that blur drivers’ vision,__• Receht findings of National Safety Council accent the importance of good vision. In a study of vehicles involved in traffic accidents, where obstructed visiblity was a factor, the Council reported that 45.4 per cent of all such accidents involved rain, snow, etc., on the windshield. The same conditions accounted for 37.4 per cent of the deaths. Ineffective windshield wipers cause abnormal slowdown and mul tiply the hazards facing drivers during bad weather. The Highway Visibility Bureau in a survey re ported that a majority of cars morp than a year old have ineffective .wiping equipment that merely smears or streaks the windshield. While windshield wipers of new model cars quickly remove blurring road splash, the big problem with old cars is to learn why the wipers streak the windshield and have 41 serviceman correct tBe conditio* (See LABOR DAY, Pape •)
