AFTER COMPILING SUCH A
distinguished record during 20
odd years in Congress, there are
few who’d dispute ex-Congress
man Carl Durham’s ability to
get right to the source of infor
mation which might be needed
to solve any problem. That’s
what he did on June 6 when he
considered it necessary for an
niversary purposes to know the
date of his wedding three years
ago and didn’t dare ask his
wife. He called the church and
asked for a check of the rec
ords. ' “P'W.'pi'" "vVjij;-'
REP. L. J. PHIPPS IN HIS
brochure in behalf of his cur
rent candidacy for State Com-,
mander of the American Legion
says he will resign his seat in
v the General Assembly prior to
the convening of the State Le
gion Convention in Charlotte
this summer. It will be up to
Orange County Democrats to
nominate a successor for ap
pointment by the Governor.
MAYOR F R E D CLAYTOR
and former Highway Chairman
Sandy Graham composed the
third known delegation which
has talked to the Governor in
the past week and a half in
connection with the recent post
ponement of the bid letting for
the proposed new access road
into Hillsboro. They reported
“a very satisfactory interview
with the Governor” on Tuesday
and noted “he’s looking into the
matter.”
IN OTHER ROAD MATTER,
Highway Commissioner Mac
Lamroc called The News this
week to advise the proposed
eastern bypass around Hills
obro, which he is sponsoring at
the instigation of opponents of
the access project, is contem
plated only to Highway 70 and,
not around t«j 86 North as at
one time was reported.
CHICKEN FEED STORAGE
is one of the latest uses for li
quor still equipment, according
to the word from Sheriff’s Dep
uty Will Gilmore yesterday.
Deputy Gilmore on a visit to
Carlton Crawford’s, just off the
Miller Road near HiUsboro
Tuesday night, happened to see
by accident a brand new 500
gallon submarine still laying
behind the house. Quietly, he
ambled back to the courthouse
and returned with the necessary
search warrants to! pick up the
equipment. On accosting Carl
ton with the facts, the accused
said he was just using the e
quipment for 'chicken feed, but
Deputy Gilmore just wouldn't
be convinced and brought the
charges anyway.
