LLOYD For the third season in a row, the Hillsboro Wildcats are playing their first game on the Clements Field turf at Northern High School. To morrow night the local eleven in vades Durham County in a move that 'was necessitated when the plan to construct lights at the new Orange Speedway field did not come through. According to Hillsboro coach Glenn Auman, the firm that had been counted on to provide the lighting fixtures for the prospective gridiron submitted a bid for the job of “about two thousand dollars” more than had been anticipated by school athletfc personnel. Hence the first game, this Friday’s, was re scheduled for the Northern field, and next week's contest will most likely be played at Graham instead of here, as previously slated. The reason for not playing on the school athletic field, where the team prac- i tices daily, is the poor spectator ac commodations and the rough, dan gerous playing surface. , Departing from the disappointment of not being able to inaugurate the new stadium, the Wildcats should be glad at their opportunity to open on the Knights’ field. For each of the last two years has been sue cessfully begun with a victory on that same green. In 1957, Hillsboro opened the season\ with a *7-12 triumph over Southern tthat game, incidentally, was moored to North ern when the Southern lights were not yet constructed). Last year Hillsboro belted the Knights by 20 0 in the initial game. If the boys who have been get ting the top call in practice ses sions are in the starting lineup, the Wildcats will send a team averag ing slightly less than 160 pounds onto thg field at eight o’clock. The linp poundage is only about five more than thaj in the backfield. In The BackfMd In the speedy Hillsboro backfield. Senior quarterback, Richard Black welder will pull the strings to di rect the T-formation offensive show. B'ackwelder’s biggest threat comes as a runner. Fast improving alter nate Pat Clayton may get the call on many occasions. At fullback the 6-2, 170 pound Joe Barnes should keep the defense alert with his pow erful punting toe. Halfbaoks Walter Swainey and'Marvin Dickey should do the majority of the work at their position. Should either of these be in need of replacement, Auman and Claytor can call on Gene Albright, Lowell Petty, or Jerry Overby for duty. Fullbacks Daryl Wjagnar and Johnny Shambley will modi likely see action often during the game. As a co-captain along with Rich ard Blackwelder,-Jim Ray operates at left end. He and mate. Marvin Teer will be the targets for most Hillsboro passes. Comped ttoa^Kee* — The competition is keen for the right tackle position. Junior Clif ford Raynor and senior Nicky Ken yon may see equal action at this post. Big Billy Mlshoe is the beet bet to open at left tackle. Odas White and David Walker are the top guards, and Wayne Davis is the choice at center. Others who will most likely get line duty are Freddy Sharp, Tom Sprouse, Jee Gates. Ed Nofris, Bert Reed, Jack ar.d Gene Knight, Buddy Wheeley, Jack Dowdy, Don Terrell, and new comers who joined the team last week Steve Whitt and Kenneth Bob bitt. • ■ > . And if it means anything, the Wildcats will be playing the league's leading team tomorrow night. Northern trounced Southern 21-7 in the only District HI game yet played. Hillsboro’s record with Northern since the founding of the latter is three wins, no losses, and one tie. HILLSBORO'S FIRST SKATING MARATHON was reeled off this past weekend at Holiday Park's roller rink and two local youths were the winners after 20 hours and 40 minutes of gruelling competi tion, most of it provided by a 17-year-old Roxboro girl, who stuck with it 17 hours and 20 minutes after pitching a 7-inning softball game before beginning the marathon. James Hardee, left. West Hillsboro, and Donald Pittman, Highway 70, shown above with Park Manager Jack Gardner, center, split the $50 prize money.

Deadline Today On Soil Bank Farmers who let the September 10 deadline pass without requesting rental rates for land they are con sidering for reserve will not be eligible to participate in the Con servation Reserve Program in I960. This word of caution was issued by W. M. Snipes, Chairman of the Orange County ASC Committee. This initial phase of the Soil Bank Conservation Reserve Program he said, began the 24th of August and ends the 10 of September. Only farmers who request maximum payment rates for their farm, dur ing this period will be eligible to participate in the I960 conservation reserve. A request that a farm rate District Road Hearing Set At Yanceyvillej A public hearing on important road matters in the Seventh Highway Division will be held at Yanceyville next Wednesday, ac cording to T. A. Burton, Division j Engineer. ’ • , | The meeting, to which city and county officials and the general public are invited, will be held Wednesday, Sept. 18, in the Su perior Courtroom of the Caswell County Courthouse ljetween the hours of 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 pm., Representatives of the' Highway Commission will be on hand to discus road requests and problems. This is one of a series of public hearings in the 7th Division, wuich j comprises Rockingham, Guilford, Caswell, Alamance and Orange Counties. . I be set for the farm, however, does not obligate a farmer to partici pate. According to Snipes there is no better way for a farmer who de sires to cut down on his farming operations to do so than through this Soil Bank program. Whether the farmer desires to reduce his operation because of age, health, or because he might be a part-time farmer, the program can still fit in with his plans. Under the program farmers are paid a part of the cost of establish ing an approved conservation prac tice on their reserve land and that they also receive an annual per acre payment for each year the land is under contract. Contracts may run for a period of 3, 5 or 10 years. Plans For Area Development Body Are Told County Agent Don Matheson said Wontfcy plana are being formulated for the establishment of an area development association composed ol»Durham, Orange and Person Counties. The organisation (or the three county area would be similar in purpose to area development bodies now functioning in a 11-county area around Winston-Salem .and a six county area around Greensboro. Matheson related this information in his report to the Orange County Board of Commissioners Tuesday and that group expressed an inter est in such a movement. Matheson said he and other leaders from the area visited the two other develop ment groups new functioning to learn of their efforts in promoting (1) Agriculture, (2) Recreation, (3) Travel, and <4> Community De velopment. Matheson and other farm exten sion personnel reported on recent work programs, along with other county officials, at Tuesday's meet ing of the - Commissioners, which was devoted largely to routine mat ters and the drawing of a Jury. Petitions requesting paving on Crawford road, .4 mile, from High way 70 to St. Mary’s road in Hills boro township, and for improving Harper street, off Racetrack road, also in Hillsboro township, were considered by die board. Pair Caught Red-Handed In Building An anonymous telephone call and fast work by two officers proved the un-doing of two would be thieves at Godfrey’s Home Supply Company of Highway 70 at Hillsboro Saturday morning. They were caught red-handed in the building by Night Policeman Will Gilmore and Deputy Sherifl MMolfa Ephg. Sonia of the .loot they apparently; expected to carry away was laying outside an open window. Charged with breaking and en tering were Arthur Lee Mills, 19, son of Beatrice Mills' and the late Willie Mills, and Edmund Shep herd Bain, 21, son of Edward Bain. Both are Negroes. Entrance was made by breaking a glass window. Considerable clothing and fishing equipment had been passed out to the ground outside when the officers arrived. Neither of the two men has been involved with the law pre viously, according to the Sher: iff’s department. Another break in occured the previous day at -Carrboro when thieves broke into Elmer Pender graph’s service station and walk ed out with a 2001b. safe, con taining about “$800 in cash and valuable business papers.

The pastor, the Rev. C. H. Reck srd, in commenting on the expanded program explained, “This perma nent organization gives consistent attention to all the varied duties and services of the church. This is new in two respects. It gathers to gether, under a planned program, many duties and services formerly done separately and less regular ly, and it provides an experience of continuing service for every member of thft church. This Is a bjg stride for the church In V* growth itTWvice.” / / t The Sunday morning service will include an anthem, “Beautiful Savior,” by the Junior Choir, and ! will be concluded with the enlist ing of members in the program and a consecration service.
