BaaWBHWH .' ssssm =■■■■• —slii ~Chapel Hill, Hillsboro, Carr boro—Between and Bcyoi HILLSBORO AND CHAPEL HILL, N. C., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1961 VOL. 69, NO. 36 24 PAGES CHAPEL HTI-I- POLICE PA trohnan Dan Cottier, newly-motor ized mogul of the parking meter rounds downtown, reports that motorists were not penalized for possible infractions incurred by ti»e elimination of the parking lane markings when Franklin Street was resurfaced last Thursday. In fact, the confusion brought a tick et holiday on Friday. Incidental statistics on the new motor scoot ' er used for the policeman’s park ing meter-rounds: The vehicle holds four gallons of gas and 250 parking tickets. The latter equip ment fits in a special compart ment on the steering panel. THE TRESPASS TRIAL OF Duke University divinity student Edward Optcn has been several times continued at the request of both the defense and private prose cution. This week it was continued within the option of the judge. Robert" Midgette, Assistant Re corder of the municipal court in Chapel Hill, postponed hearing of the reverse sit-in case to bone up on possible points of law that may be aired in the trial. OUR HEARTY ENDORSEMENT to this short-short editorial from the current issue of The State Magazine: “The sorriest piece of advertising we have ever run into is the screeching, insipid and re pulsive jingle put out by the State Advertising Division to lure visitors to North Carolina. The melody is difficult and discordant, the words childish and unappeal ing. We understand most if not <» all the July resort advertising ^ap propriation was spent on this jingle. The state resort interests probably would have been better off if that money had been spent on a similar jingle for our com petitors.’V— Thanks to “Old Trudge,” State publisher Bill Sharpe. OUR MANNERS, LIKEWISE, to Greensboro Daily News column ist Burke Davis for his continued appeal, as follows, in his “Tar Heel Notebook” last Sunday: “The wonderful village of Hillsboro pre sents North Carolina a real chal enge in terms of money, beauty, and authentic history. If the early houses languishing there were lo cated in some more alert province, they would long since have been snatched up for salvation. . . Not even High Williamsburg had such an opportunity for a knock-out display. . . The chance is there, waiting—but will not be there for ever . . . Imaginative official and private leadership could strike a real blow, soon . . .’’—How long, indeed, in the name of Edmund Fanning, how long, O Land of Orange? ONE OF THE FIRST LOCAL citizens to greet Chapel Hill's new Town Manager Bob Peck last weekend was 13-year-old Chris Chanlett, president of the junior high school student government, and one who takes an active in terest in municipal affairs as a regular visitor to Board of Aider men meetings.
