of orange county Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, Cun boro—Between and Beyond VOL. 72, NO. 50 HILLSBOROUGH AND CHAPEL HILL, N. C., THURSDAY, DECEMBER T7, 1964 28 PAGES THERE IS NO QUESTION that folks are simply putting up their Christmas decorations ear lier than usual this year. Illumi nated yard, 'window, end door or naments were in profusion across the county last weekend. The storekeepers gladly confirm, too, that the trite admonition to “Do your Christmas shopping early" seems to have borne fruit this Yuletide. Weary postal clerks are _in accord. The mail volume is heavier and earlier than in any year previously. LT. DONALD TRIPP, FIRE man in charge of Chapel Hill’s Glen Lennox Fire Station, has re signed from the Department lo cally to' become Fire Chief in Cary. He has been a Chapel Hill fireman for the past three years. Chief Jim Stewart said he was in the process of making a replace ment. SPECULATION IS RIFE THAT Luther Hodges of No. 3, The Glen, in Chapel Hill, will be un able to completely retire from the ultra-peripatetic career he had for the past several decades. Top rumor is that he’ll work ac tively with the Research Trian gle, a "baby” he helped create as Governor. One continuous thread throughout his business and governmental career has been as a Rotary Club leader. He was district governor of Rotary when the Chapel Hill elub was formed in the 20s, and has indi cated he’ll accept an invitation to join the local group when he finally settles here. SPEAKING OF ROTARY, IT'S generally agreed there’s never been a night like it since Hollis Edens as President of Duke stood on the piano and ted the boys in a lusty rendition of “Hark, The Sound.” That was at the Chapel Hill Rotary’s Yule social several years back. Last night the gang, warmed by the inspiration of the UNC Glee Men and their gor geous coed singer, Dolly Isom, truly engaged the Christmas spir it in a round of caroling. If was their Christmas party meeting, * and the stereotype of staid non singing discipline was roundly shattered. BOND OF $7,500 WAS SET IN superior court this week for Jack Simmons, charged with the Nov. 28 shooting of sheriff’s deputy Bobby MoCullock. As of late yes terday the defendant had neither posted bond nor asked for a pre liminary hearing. The officer is reportedly recovering in Ala mance General Hospital. ATTORNEY JOHN MANNING in a zoning hearing before the Chapel Hill aldermen Monday night suggested that L. J. Phipps, •a Judge of the Recorder’s Court, had “a mystical touch” on row dyism in fraternities near his Pittsboro St. home. Because of his position on the bench, lawyer Manning implied, theJudge could effectively bring about his wish es for peaee in the neighborhood. Ins-eply the Judge went “one up” on his rival attorney — recalled that when the late Henry A. Whitfield was Judge, and also lived on Pittsboro St. several years back, he’d had little suc cess in quieting down the lads in the next door in the fraternity in. which Mr. Manning had held membership!
