Bowman Gray
Stadium Race
News
WINSTON-SALEM, N. C.
Curtis Turner, one of the most
famous stock car race drivers
in the nation, will deal him
self in on the duel between
Glenn Wood and Carl Burris
at Bowman Gray Stadium
Saturday night.
Turner, who dominated rac
ing at the stadium in the
early 1930s, will probably
drive a modified Ford set
up by Morton Fralin of
Rocky Mount, Va. It will be
his first appearance on the
weekly race program in sev
eral years. Turner, now presi
dent of Charlotte Motor
Speedway, has concentrated
on late model stock car rac
ing in recent years.
Race Directors Bill France
and Alvin Hawkins have sche
duled s six-event program this
week, plus a "Demolition Der
by" a wrecking contest
in which drivers compete with
old cars and the last one able
to run is declared the win
ner. The race schedule will con
sist of two 10-lap heats and
a 40-lap feature for modified
and sportsman cars, and two
10-lap heats and a 20-lap main
event for hobby drivers. The
first race will begin at 8:30
p.m.
Turner and wood will be in
for a busy day Saturday. Tur
ner is scheduled to drive
Wood's 1961 Ford in the Rebel
300 late model convertible
race at Darlington, S. C , Sat
urday afternoon.
The racing partners then
plan to hop in Turner's air
plane and fly to Winston-Salem
to compete against each
other. Wood will drive the
"back seat driver'' modified
Ford which has carried him
to three stadium triumphs this
season.
Wood's latest Stadium vic
tory was a result of tough
luck for rival Burris, who
edged Wood in a tense race
the previous week. Burris led
the first 34 laps of last Sat
urday's 40-lap modified-sports-man
feature race.
On the 34th circuit Burris
ran up behind1 a slower car
driven by Glenn Magee of
Lexington. When Burris hit
his brakes, he was in turn
bumped from behind by Wood
who had been tailing the lead
er by one to four feet most of
the way.
Burris' car climbed up on
the trunk of Magee's vehicle
and both spun out. Burris re
covered and came in third
behind Wood and Eb Clifton
of Rural Hall.
P.T.A. Officers
Installed
At the April meeting of the
Cooleemee P.T.A., Mrs. Sam
Berrier was installed as presi
dent for the coming year. Mrs.
Bob Hoyle, secretary and Mrs.
Margaret Brinegar as trea
surer. A most interesting program
was presented by the Junior
Chorus under the direction of
Mr. Neal Smith. Mr. W. T.
Bird was guest speaker.
Court reform (some prefer
to call it "court improve-
ment") - the thorn in the
legislative flesh for the past
two sessions - wag finally sol
ved to some extent this week.
Like all good legislation, the
bill which passed both houses
of the General Assemby this
week was a compromise. Some
would have liked a sweeping
court reform plan, overhaul
ing our entire judicial system. '
Others would have preferred
no change in the present court
system. But, the new law rep
resents the thinking of a vast
majority who feel our court
system is basically sound, sub
ject to some improvement in
our inferior court system and
our Justice of the Peace Sys
tem. Basically, the plan which
passed the General Assembly
will give the people the right
to decide whether court re
form is needed. If the citizens
of North Carolina adopt the
constitutional amendment at
the next general election, the
following General Assembly
will have the authority to es
tablish a uniform system of
district courts to take the
place of the present maze of
inferior courts below the su
perior court level.
Also, the present Justice of
the Peace system will be re
placed by so-called Magis
trates who will have about
the same jurisdiction as the
present J&ypees with one im
portant exception. Their in
come will not be dependent
upon their convictions.
In other legislative matters,
a bill providing for North Ca
rolina to participate in a fed
eral "medical assistance for
the aged" program ran into
a crossfire of conflicting opin
ions before the House Health
Committee Wednesday. ,
Doctors, dentists, pharma
cists and hospital administra
tors urged the House to adopt
the bill. But Ramey Kemp
and other spokesmen for State
Associations of Chiropractors
and Optometrists proposed an
amendment to make sure their
services would be included in
the medical assistance pro
gram. Their amendment would
also eliminate a provision call
ing for a council to insist
the State Board of Welfare
in administering the assist'
ance program. This council, it
is felt, would be dominated
by the doctors, dentists, phar
macists and hospital repres
entatives. They suggested ad
visory committees represent
ing various medical profess
ions be used instead.
It is my understanding the
warring factions have closed
ranks and the amendments
will be adopted. There is, how
ever, a third group opposing
the medical aid plan. This
group--the Senate Association
of County Commissioners-asked
us to vote against the
program because it discrimi
nates against indigent children
and disabled persons.
If this bill becomes law,
recent figures indicate there
are approximately 331 people
in Davie County who would
be eligible for medical aid.
This aid will cost $17,662 an
nually, of which the County's
part will be $1,986.
This week, the House re
ceived a bill that would put
North Carolina's teen - age
drivers on probationary driv
ing status and ban them from
nighttime driving between
their 16th and 18th birthdays.
Rep. Stedman Hines of Guil
ford said his bill is designed
to make teenagers conscious
of good driving habits during
the years when they are learn
ing to drive.
