I of orange county —Chapel Hill, Hillsboro. C.arrhoro—Between and Beyond— VOL. 67 NO. SO HILLSBORO AND CHAPEL HILL, N. C., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1960 32 PAGES Time: 2:01 a.m., Jan. ••• CATS ARE CLASSIFIED AS wild animals in the eyes of the law. Thus the Town of Chapel HOI has returned to the Glen .Lennox management a $10 veter inarian’s bill for treatment of a cat that bit a person in the Glen Lauiox Shopping Center. FOLKS ON BUTTONS ROAD in Chapel Hill agreed with the aldermen Monday night; they think that they shall never see, a road as lovely as a tree. Thus a majestic oak tree near the border of the single-lame road won’t be axed to widen the road to two lanes. Instead a bamboo hedge will be cut down and Jake Con ners’ garage moved back a few feet to effect the widening. CHAPEL HILL’ "FINEST” RE cejved w r i 11 e n messages of thanks from four sources recent ly: From Schools Superintendent Joe Johnston for solving, the re cent break-in at Estes Hills School; from Atlantic Coast Con ference Commissioner Jim Wea ver for preventing a riot follow ing the Carolina-Maryland game; from the University Athletic De partment for assistance at the football games; and frpm a local dad whose errant five-year-old son was found by policemen. AMONG POINTS OF INTEREST made by Durham Mayor E. J Evans in his report on his recent trip to Russia^ before the UNO Faculty Club on Tuesday: (1> The Russians have the U-2 wreck age and pilot Gary Powers’ uni form and gear spread out over a large exhibit hall—a shot at one spot, sock at another, etc. to make a bigger display. C2) Sofne military sources have reason to believe Powers’ plane was sabo taged before it tot* off so that it’d crash and give the Reds a reason for scuttling the Summit conference. (3> The Soviet people were not an unhappy nor an un friendly lot, from his observation. (4) The success of the Red re gime in its public school program can, according to some observers, be a good force for peaceful co existence. An educated populace will, by this theory, be less mo tivated toward war. MEANEST THIEF THIS WEEK, as determined by a sifting through of Chapel Hill police reports, is the party that stole two cords of freshly-cut wood stacked beside the new Friends Meeting House on Raleigh Road. The Quakers, while not vindictive in spirit, were annoyed at least to the point of reporting the pilferage which took place on two successive nights. KIDS IN THREE CLASSROOMS at Glenwood Elementary won an involuntary holiday after they ar rived at school Tuesday morning. Air locks m the radiant heating pipelines in the concrete floor of the building fouled up the heat ing system on the coldest day of the school year to date. Work men bled the lines and finally got ’em unlocked late Tuesday night. SHERIFF’S DEPUTIES CHECK ing the mileage indicators in their new patrol cars found they’d driven them an average of 900 miles apiece during their first (More PEALINGS on p. 12) money .*v> ALL SET FOR BIG SWITCH-OVER—Vernon [Ray Fields of the Automatic Electric Company’s installation crew shows what wifi be done in the Chapel Hill Telephone exchange to bring about the switch-over to the all-numerica'l calling system at 2:01 a.m. one month from today, Jan. 15, 1961.
