Grocery boy* cut. . .
Assault trial
is continued
in local court
Assault charges against a Hills
boro youth were continued one
week for trial in Orange County
Recorder’s Court yesterday.
The defendant, 22 - year • old
Robert Cotten, was released on
f|00 bond in connection with the
hfcifing assault at Carr’s Super
market about 7 p. m. last Satur
day. According to information
glpen .. sheriff’s deputies Cotten
was talking to Calvin Johnson,
IK store employee, while the lat
ter sacked up his groceries.
An argument arose and Cotten
invited Johnson outside where
Gotten allegedly cut him on the
right arm and hand with a pock
et knife, then fl&J. He was ar
rested a short while later.
Another assault on an em
ployee of the store took place on
the night of July 2 when Edward
Clapp, 16, was beaten and
scratched over his body with a
razor-tipped box opener which
he used in his work at the store.
Chief Deputy Paul Cook said the
victim told him a young Negro
lad jumped into his car about
10:30 p. m. when he stopped to
avoid a car that had pulled in
front of him. A third car with
out-of-state license plates pulled
jn front of Clapp’s vehicle, and
Clapp was ordered to follow it.
On a deserted road behind the
Cone Mills Eno plant Clapp said
(be was assaulted by three Ne
groes, including the one in his
car. As of yesterday officers had
made no arrests in this case.
They declared that although
the, two victims were white and
the assailants allegedly Negroes,
the incidents were “disputes be
tween particular people” and not
incidents of general racial vio
lence in the community.

but would prefer to alter their
plans—as requested by local per*
■ons—and construct a 1,000-seat
convention auditorium;
Edss E- Scroggs, Planning
Jp°*rd Chairman, expressed the
opinion that his group would
Ukely not recommend against ex
tending the 90-foot limit to the
' business district. But he said he
#flt that any alteration of these
restrictions should be tied to off
street parking requirements. The
planners called attention to a
proposed zoning amendment on
off-street parking. The terms of
this would require 50 more park
ing spaces over the 129 now en
visioned on the basis of the exist
ing law for the 12&r00m hotel.
It was noted, however, that the
structure could be built legally
as planned under terms of the
existing zoning law.
Realtor John Foushee also ap
pealed for raising of the 45-foot'
height restriction -— which was
set as a fire safety precaution
before purchase of a 100-foot ex
, tension ladder fire truck. Mr.
Foushee said, there was a need
for multi-story efficiency apart
ments in mid-town. Another real
| tor, John Cates,- said that the
j cost of main street - property
I couldn’t be justified unless it
j could be built higher than the
existing limit.

Banner banter:
If flag size
told patriotism
they'd surely
have no peers
If patriotism were directly
in proportion to the physical
dimensions of its symbols- the
Warner Wells family would
have no peers in devotion to
country. ^
This is apparent in the size
of the 50 - star American flag
flown from the mast in the
front yard of their Chapel
Hill home on last Thursday,
July 4. PasseriSby oh E.
Franklin St. could scarcely
suppress an optical double
take at the massive star
spangled banner that draped
close to the ground from the
tip of its 25-foot pole.
Asked about the flag, Dr.
Wells explained quite matter.
of-factly that he and his fam
ily had always wanted an A
merican flag of their own.
felt it was rather a nice thing
to fly it on patriotic holidays,
and simply bought one.
That it happened to be a
rather large flag didn’t seem
a matter of particular sig
nificance to the owners. On
measuring it they established
it to be eight and one-half by
seventeen feet in size.
Dr. Wells simply saw an ad
! for American flags in the
Shopping Guide section of the
Sunday New York Times. The
price set by flag seller J. Ja
cob Shannon in Philadelphia
seemed quite reasonable. And
upon order the battleship
size flag came by parcel post.
- If breeze enough to fully un
furl the flag happened to
came up, the massive tri-col
or would fairly well blot out
the sky in the Wells’ front
i yard. (
