— of orange county ■Chapel Hill, Hillsboro, Carrboro—Between and Beyond C., THURSDAY, MAY 16. 19*3 14 PAGES TODAY * Orange Peaimgs MONDAY NIGHT'S CHAPEL Hill Town Board action annexing the Bolin Creek-Lake Forest Eastgate sectors to Town brought in a chunk of land almost equal to the size of the entire Town prior to the first annexation ever made—the Strowd Hill area, on Aug. S, 1950. Until that time Chapel Hill was a 750-acre rec tangle. The new annexations themselves now total more than 700 acres. A MOVEMENT IS BEING PRO moted by the Hillsborough His torical Society to have a portrait of the Earl of ‘Hillsborough com missioned at their expense and donated to the County with the idea of having it hung in the courtroom of the county court house. THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY, by the way, is also trying to get the Postoffice Department to agree to officially change the spelling of the name of the town back to its original “Hillsbor ough.” DISCRIMINATION, CRIES THE Daily Tar Heel, and not without justification. Gov. Sanford has agreed1 to enter a Tar Heel frog in the famous jumping contest at Angel’s Camp in Calaveras County, California. He would do nate the frogs that lose out in the competition for the North Carolina entry, equally to Duke and State. And what, the college paper asks quite properly, is the reason that Hon. Terry doesn’t count his alma mater at Chapel Hill in on his largess with frog-: gery? A DANDY CONTROVERSY— one that may make the State Col lege name debacle look tame by comparison—is brewing over the bill to set up a conservatory of j the fine arts on an all-new site in Raleigh. While the idea has some official sanction in the UNC administration at Chapel Hill, there are many teachers and administrators on the cam pus who are bitterly opposed to the idea; wonder why the neces sary resources aren’t instead pumped into existing facilities at Chapel Hill, for instance. CARRBORO MAYOR CHARLIE Ellington has been ailing with an occupational disease o£ the poli tician since the day after his re election last week. It’s a throat ailment—actually a strep throat. The infirmity has kept him home from the plant several days. Tuesday night he stayed at the Town Board meeting only long enough to be sworn in to a new two-year ^erm. However, yester day he was reported to be feel ing right much improved. AS A RESULT OF MAYOR EL lingtoh’s absence, newly-elected Mayor Pro-Tem Wiley Franklin had to assume his duties as Chairman of the Board immedi ately. Wiley wielded a firm gav el, according to reliable reports, and icontinued a long-standing tradition of the Board: A 9:30 p.m. recess for free Cokes, pur chased from the Town Hall Coke machine with profits from same out of a Rec Fund for the Town. However, Wiley didn’t continue another tradition. Lord Mayor (More Pealings, Page 12) of bi 11 on government course _ , • _ —Story on Page 6 Prize-winning ’monkey bridge ... 1 ■ .
