A petition for election on the setting up of a fire protection district in the suburban-rural area around Chapel Hill was pre sented to the County Commis sioners in Hillsboro today. Its ap proval is expected to be auto matic and it’s probable that the election on the matter will be held sometime during the winter. iThe Rev. Robert Masterton of Whitehead Circle, chairman of the unofficial suburbanites’ group which got up the petition, said that it carried the signa tures of about 240 out of the estimated 400 real property o-wn- ersin the district—^far more than the 15 per cent required by law. He said that the seven neigh borhood solicitors who’d secur ed and signatures reported that almost everybody contacted was not only in favor of the election, but seemed to favor the pro posal to allow the county com missioners to levy on them a tax of up to $ .10 per $100 property valuation for fire protection pur poses. CHHS Readying For Hillsboro IThe traditional “battle of Orange County” on the gridiron will come off this Friday night when Chapel Hill High faces its biggest rival, Hillsboro. The game will be played there at 8 p.m. Thomasville defeated the Wild cats here on Friday night for the locals’ third straight loss. Hills boro, living up to pre-season ex pectations, easily heat Methodist Orphanage 31-0. In the County series recently Hillsboro has beat Chapel Hill for the last two years and Chapel Hill won for four years before that. But records don’t mean a groat deal in this game, which is generally a close, hard-fought con test. Coach Bill Grice said the team should be in pretty fair shaps physically for this Friday’s game although Hooker Butler will still be out, and Co-Captain Lewis Free land, with a bad shoulder, will probably be used sparingly. HOSPITALIZED Today's register of patients at Memorial Hospital includes Mon Seriously Cut By Bottle Thrown Out Of Passing Auto Three Items * ^ * D. Sawyer of Hillsboro, President of the Orange County Bar COURT RITES HELD TODAY—Bonner Association stood behind the judge's bench in the spacious courtroom of the new county courthouse, at 10-15 this morning, to begin the day's formal ceremmies for the opening of the courthouse. About 100 were on hand for the occasion, which culminated in ceremonies at the courthouse this after- persons^^c^ th® har area of the courtroom is show.i as seen through the window from the second floor News Leader Photo hall of the courthouse. Three items in Thursday’s is sue of the News Leader — the, story of James Street’s death, a| reference in the editor’s column' about prices in Chapel Hill, and the running of an out-of-town com-^ petitive advertisement in the pa per — have stirred up quite a controversy in the community.: The News Leader’s stand on these issues is given in a special com-' ment on page four. j Driving into Chapel Hill from Sanford on Saturday morning, Robert L. Williams was seriously cut about the face by a pop bot tle thrown by a car coming in the opposite direction. The incident occurred about 11:30 a. m., just beyond Mor gan’s Creek. Mr. Merritt said there were three youths in the car from which the bottle was thrown. The flying grass cut him on the nose, cheek and arm, and he stopped at Eben Merritt’s service station, his face stream ing with blood. He could not identify the oc cupants of the car, but he thought they were in a 1953 Buick with a cream colored top and a blue body. He did not doubt that the bottle was thrown intention ally, for the offending car disap peared at top speed, the occu pants looking back as they turn ed the curve. Mr. Williams, who lives in Durham, is employed by the Piedmont Neon Sign Co., there. He said if the bottle had struck the windshield squarely he would have been killed. As it was, the bottle struck the rear view mirror, then the window edge, and finally the back seat. It shattered into minute pieces. Cumey Atwater, James A. Duke, Mrs. Atlas Fearrington, Mrs. I- O.
