of orange county Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, Carrboro—Between and Beyond r b VOL. 72, NO. 24 HILLSBOROUGH AND CHAPEL HILL, N. C., THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1964 24 PAGES — A MARVEL OF THE STRUC tural world is the distinctive hex agonal building and roof curva ture of the Hardee’s hamburger stands. Construction of the $50, 000 six-sided eatery was begun this week at its corner site on Mallette and West Franklin Sts. The roof composed of six curved panels of pre-cast reinforced con crete was shipped in and set atop concrete* pillars that were cast on the spot. When finished the build ing will be 43 feet in diameter, have a 14-foot high ceiling and a spire atop it some 20 feet high. ORANGE COUNTY'S $40,000 in bond anticipation notes to pay for the air-conditioning of the courthouse, now in progress, is scheduled by the Local Govern ment Commission next Tuesday, which reminds that other than the school debt all other bonded indebtedness of the county now .. totals only $150,000. They are the original courthouse construction bonds which won’t be paid off un til 1979. Total school debt, in case everybody’s forgotten, now stands at $3,846,000. IT'S JUNE BUT NOBODY around the courthouse will haz ard a guess as to whether the County Commissioners will be holding their usual budget hear ings this month. A eouple of the members, it appears, are engaged in a bit of heated politics. De partment heads and officials say they’ll be ready, if and when the board returns to normal. How easy, cried one representative, it ..would have been for the citizenry to have avoided all this. SEVEN - YEAR - OLD FRANK Lee Holloway of Chapel Hill sus tained a double fracture shortly before 11 o’clock last Sunday morning as he darted from be hind a,dar in front of the Baptist Church and into the path of a moving vehicle on South Colum bia St. Driver of the car, Mrs. Antionette Yvonne Hairston of Winston-Salem, was not charged. FROM THE ELECTRONIC maze in the radio room of the (Chapel Hill Police Department, “big brother” now reaches almost everywhere. Not content with the communications -tentacles of an inter-office telephone network, Department personnel this week installed a P. A. system “squawk box” in several strategic places. Now when a particular patrolman is wanted, and doesn’t immedi ately answer a telephone signal, he’s summoned lustily via the am plifying system. ANOTHER COMBINATION safety-first and intercom gadget newly installed in the Police De partment is a wireless monitor ing rig for the booking room of the jail. Thq. monitoring trans mitter stays open all the time so that if a prisoner gives the ar resting officer any trouble while he’s being logged into the jail, the ddSk officer in the radio room can hear it, and can immediately send help to the scene.
