Hillsborough Observer —-* . .of people and events - in and around the county seat , , Down at the post-office the other day we noticed this tannish < looking Cadillac which we took to be Bill Mitchell’s, but lo and be hold instead of t'ne massive steer horns on the hood there was this chrome horse. A little quiet investigation brought out the fact that ■ this car and horse emblem belonged to a new newcomer. Well, we already had Colonel George Levings who came here to practice * law with Sandy Graham. And there is Major C .B. Watson who recently arrived to operate the new garment plant. And now back to the rearing horse Cadillac which belongs to Colonel Moon who is living in the Strudwick house. He is a horse fancier with a couple of his favorite mounts domiciled at the Sam .Kirkland’s. The above listed brass are not of the Kentucky or “bourbon colonel” variety, but are real career soldiers1 in retirement and a welcomed addition to the community. / We hear that Preacher Lowe ot Crossroads Baptist Church *is leaving us. Altho we are not a member of his flockL we have found him to be a very fine and likeable person and wish him well. Christmas morning we noticed a number of cars going to the Town ceihefery. We. watched folks placing floral designs on the graves of loved i ones. There was evidence that many more had already been there. (We were there for the same purpose.) As we stood on the frozen turf we thought this surely must be a pagan practice. What* possible good were flowers to remains six feet under?. Then as our feet became cold and our heart warmed up, we realized that this wasn’t ancestor worship or a gesture to aP:. pease the gods. We perform this rite because of what it does to us—to remember the good qualities Off those departed. Wer suppose that down deep in all of us is a hope that we may be something or do something worth remembering to somebody1, . Jan. 14 is rushing toward us and we %iust make up our minds how to vote on the proposed amendment. From what we have read about the "little Federal’plan” to redistrict representation in Raleigh, some queer political bedfellows have been announced. It appears that most folks in the heavily populiated Piedmont areas of North Car&Iina will vote against it. Why? Because the pilan pro moted by the small counties of eastern North Carolina would largely deny representation by counties according to population. The leaders of the N. C. Farm Bureau have come out for the plan. Now for instance we just can’t see how the farm folks in Orange County could better their position by lining up with the' sparcely populated counties of eastern N C.. The East has been i dominating the legislature since the beginning and. they no doubt are dominating the Farm Bureau leadership. We believe that the future of Orange County and North Carolina will be brighter under the democratic process of majority rule. Therfore our. vote on Jan, 14 will he against the amendment.

Department of Commerce report, the South in the past decade raced ahead" of the nation in rates of growth in 26 of the 31 in dustrial and commercial activities surveyed. Among these were such meaningful economic “yardsticks” as hank deposits, personal income, value of construction Work and expenditures for new plants and equipment. All signs point to another big year ahead for the South. Along the lines of Southern Railway System alone, so many major industrial develop ments are “in the works” that 1964 - already oil to a running start — promises to continue, arid perhaps even, exceed, the pace-setting growth of the past few years. t ' This is great news for all in the South. Sound, diversified industrial expansion creates new wealth, new markets, new job openings and broader vocational.opportunities that are parties ulaHv attractive to our trained young people, encouraging them to remain in the South. Pros perity breeds prosperity - and everyone benefits. Let’s all work together to make 1964 the “best year yet” for the South. * j PRESIDENT SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM V/ASMINGION. 0. C.
