COLOR. — We’re makiag our
lint try at a tero-coldr Mvertise-
ment in. this issue, and at the
time of writing this are still in
the dark about how it will look.
If you would Uke to know, it’s
supposed to be on Page Six, so
take a look. It may seem small,
but it’s a big step forward for
us.
i .fOur picture of ..the football
jp^ers who scored points in Fri-
drgy night’s fine victory over
^Uthem Pines, is just of these,
and lit was hard to know where
to .stop. The five in the big pic
ture are those who scored touch
downs, and Larry Upchurch
kicked the five, points after. l)p-
chyrch was helped to his perfect
liight by getting another chance
V on a penaKy following the only
one he mUsed. Two more who
probably should have been in
cluded in. the scoring group, be-
■ cause, they contributed so direct
ly, are Larry Phillips, whose lat-
* V ^ral to Byrd was a brilliant man
euver for a score, and Dennis
Loftus, whose blocked punt set
up the score that Tickle made...
But you can't really stop there,
although you have to stop some
where when you are trying to
get a news picture. The whole
squad contributed quijte direct
ly to the.victory by their hard
Rocking ^pd tackling, and their
isnifited will and intention to
'Win- as they do in every deserved
victory-. iThe fellows who carry
the ball across ore getting the
credit for these others, too, in
a team victory. So I’ll con^atu-
late them hll> along with the
ones who-actually scored tjie
points. . Looks like Larry is^go-
ing to be a riglit depen^ble
point kicker, , a potent factor in
any season. 'Think of Lou Groza.

first football game of the season

When the Bucks met the Blue
Knights from Southern Pines
Friday, these players piled up a
score of 35 to the visiting team's
six points.

Tickle, Bill McPhaul, Jimmy
Byrd, and Billy Howell. Inset is
Larry Upchurch who kicked the
extra points.
, I rb^eived a fine letter this
week about ,my mention ol the
• -two young
.Xalthough the wWdirt pat
B's name on the bottom of it: It
deals with the'contribution that
drunkards and wife beaters and
general misbehavior among e-
dults make to the creating of ju
venile and teen-age delinquents,
fnd how exposure to an older
eriminal youth can be a great
and evil influence upon a young
er one. The question the writer
yiiants answered.is why I do not
^pal with names and cases as to
gpme of the adults who make
these contributions to evil.
♦ %^ell, I truly wish I could, for
y think public knowledge and
rthe resulting scorn of friends
and neighbors is just what such
individuals need. The fact that
X cannot, though, is one of the
prices we pay for freedom under
our constitution, and is as it
must be. 1 Every one of us is
innocent uhtil proved guilty, and
when I start to talk about a man
being a dhinkard, beating his
wife, and doing worse, I can
only speak of what has been
proved in court, unless I can
prove it, and a man frequently
isn't proved guilty of such even
after his wife indicts him—^he
changes her mind about testify
ing against him. . Ti/s is just
cne limb a newspaper must stay
c^f of, or it would be sued out
*'’of business pretty fast.
* Jhis yoiAg Brake seems to be
^mg to live up to his big words
•^he went to the chain gang and
escaped right away. He is back,
g and may have tried something
else by now, although I expect
they have a better idea about
bow to treat him now. This is
the sort of fellow who ends with
a guard's bullet in his back fre-
€(uently. He should have our
great pity for his condition, and
enr shame for a society which
allows such a condition to de
velop. In so far as we have ever
looked the. other way when such
was going • On, and said to our
selves “It’s'Hone of my buainess’*,
we must feel responsible.

Police Here Make
48 Week-end Nabs
Proof Positive — David Hen
drix told a fish story the other
day and apparently there were
some who doubted him, so he had
this picture made to prove that
the bass really was that big. The
son of Mr. and Mrs. Brown Hen
drix of Arabia holds the 5 lb.
10 oz. fish.
Labor Day week end, marked
nationally by a heavy death toll
on the highways, was newswor
thy here in the number of ar
rests that took place.
According to Chief of Police
Lawrence Stanton, there were 48
arrests, all. misdemeanors, rang
ing from public drunkenness to
disregarding riop signs.
The one serious traffic acci
dent over the week end took
place late Sunday afternoon. One
motorist, making a left turn,
misjudged the speed of an on
coming car and caused the driv
er to hit him, according to Pa
trolman J. E. Dupree.
The accidewt occurred on a ru
ral road about three miles south
of Raeford. Harold Clifford
Campbell, white, of Raeford was
headed east about 6 o’clock Sun
day evening on the road.
Traveling in the opposite di
rection was George Nicholson,
colored, of Aberdeen. Nicholson
attempted to cross the road and
make a lefHum onto a dirt road.
Nicholsffn’ apparently misjudg
ed the speed of Campbell’s car
and could not cross the road be
fore Campbell’s car plowed into
his.
There were no injuries.
Damage to Nicholson’s car:
$200, to Campbell’s: SoOO.
In Recorder’s Court Tuesday,
Nicholson pled guilty of careless
and reckless driving resulting in
an accident. He was sentenced to
90 days on the roads; the sen

Ever-present problems of i
town’s powth occupied the meat
bers of the town board as they
met Monday night and Voted to
purchase some land, tq look into
the financing of an addition t*
enlarge the working force of the
water department.
The most controversial sub
ject was brought up by Angtu
Currie, namely, whether peofie
living outside town limits should
pay more for their water, if sup
plied by the town. Currie made
a motion to increase the c(Ht of
water to out-of-town consumers,
with the exception of Pacific
Mills, by 50 per cent, effective
December 1, 1959.
Strong verbal support was lent
the motion* by J. D. McMillian
who stated that those outside
town limits should pay more. ITis
argument, to which Mayor Al
fred Cole gave his support, wan
that people living on the town
periphery will never seek exten
sion of corporate limits if all
services are provided them with
out their having to pay taxes.
Qyde Upchurch, Jr., led oppo
sition to the motion and stated
that if the agreement was made
with the people at the time watei
lines were installed that the
town would fumirii them wat»
then that should not.be changed
now.
His jjoint was countered bj
McMillian who asked if parking
regulatibns made during the
1920s should be observed today.
Marion Gallin asked that a
i sutdey'bie auide gJring’tiie BtA-
ber of people who live out ot
town and are supplied water by
the town.
Ginrie stated flatly that was
immaterial, tht no one out of
town should be receiving the
same services as those who are
in town and pay town tMes.
When the motion came to a
vote, McMillian backed Currie;
Gatlin, Upchurch, and J. K. Mc
Neill, Jr. defeated the move.
The water department was the
main subject of the evening. Fol
lowing a prolonged discussion, it
was agreed that the street, water
and finance commissioners would
he authorized to purchase a ditch-
digging machine before the next
meeting as soon as th^ find one
that will fill the needs of the
water department.
J, C. McKenzie, superintendent
of that department, stated that
the present machine iv totally in
adequate gnd almos.t worn ouL
.An applicant for a job with
the water department will be ap
proached and offered work at’ a
salary of $60 weekly on a 90^1x7
trial basis.
A lot on Stewart Street oppo
site the point where Sixth Ave
nue comes to a dead end has
been bought by Herbert Mc-
Keithan for S1.060. Since it will
likely be needed by the town for
