Wilson Files For County Board;
Ray Sustains Mild Attack'
Binoiiani Town.ship dairy farmer Hiigli M. Wilson lias
become the first office-seeker other than incumbents in the
May ‘ji Democratic primai'y election.
In officially filing for the County Board of Commi.ssion-
ers this past weekend Mr. Wilson became the fourth candi
date for the three seats at stake. Already annotmced are in
cumbents Donald McDade, Henry WAlker, and Dwight Ray.
However, none of these have yet of
ficially filed.
The political scene took a new
twist over the weekend as Mr. Ray,
a Carrboro hardwareman, went to
Memorial Hospital with what was
described by friends as a “mild
stroke.” He suffered a heart attack
a number of months ago, but has
been in apparent good health for
a good while since then.
Entered Wednesday
Mr. Ray, who was elected County
Commissioner in 1954, entered the
Hospital ■ last Wednesday, but was
reported in excellent condition there
yesterday and was expected to re
turn home today. ,
In filing for Commissioner, Mr.
Wilson is seeking this post for the
third time, having run in both Uie
1956 and 1954 primaries. He is a
1933 A. B. graduate o^ the Uni
versity of North Carolina, mem
ber of the Grange, Farm Bureau
and of New Hope Presbyterian
Church. In addition he is Secre
tary-Treasurer of the North Caro
lina Ayrshire Breeders Associa
tion and on the Advisory Commit
tee of the Carolina Milk Producers
Association.
His formal statement in connec
tion -with his candidacy follows:
“The desired results of a good
education are the acquisiton of use
ful know'ledge, mental discipline,
and the basic , foundation tools of
learning, which can help our young
people attain mental adulthood and
economic effectiveness. These re
suits are not being sufficiently
achieved here.
“Our school population grows fast
er daily, classrooms become crowd
ed, teacher loads are heavy, and
teacher pay is low'er here than in
many counties; physical necessity
foi'ces us to teach our slow learners
along with the fast, to the detri
ment of both groups.
“It is essential that Orange Coun
ty remedy this situation. The Board
of County Commissioners must ex
plore eqch and every source of ad
ditional revenue with particular at
tention to new sources in order to
raise the necessary cash to do the
job rgiht. Situated as we are with
the University putting extra demands
upon the school system, and with
much untaxable state property with
in the County, w'e have every right
to look to the state for extra help
and to push that appeal with per
sistent vigor.

The term of Clarence Jones on

[Even Measles
Don't Dampen
Seniors' Spirits
On Trip To D.C.
t
Not even three cases of measles
dampened the spirits of the 56
Chapel Hill High School seniors
who made a trip to Washington,
D. C., this weekend. The group,
who made the trip in tw.o busses,
got home this morning at 1:15. All
declared they “had a marvelous
time.”
Chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs.
Kenneth White and Mr. and Mrs.
Ben Grantham, the group covered
over 12 famous sight-seeing spots
in the nation’s capital on their
tour. Highlights of the trip were
the moonlight cruise on the Po
tomac River Friday night and a
nightclub visit Saturday, which
included a floor show by the Four
Lads.
The seniors had earned $780 to
finance their weekend from a va
riety of projects, including bake
sales and a barbecue supper. Each
contributed another nine dollars
plus meals and spending money
lor the trip.
“We weren’t able to see any of
the North Carolina Congressmen
while we were there,” one senior
said, “but we got to see all the
sights we’d scheduled with one ex
ception—we got to the FBI build
ing too late to be included on a
tour.”
Naval Choir

Next Saturday
The Naval Aviation Cadet Choir
from Pensacola, Fla., will give two
performances at the University on
Saturday. Both programs are open
to the public at no charge and will

ial Activities Board, a branch of the
UNC student union group.
The Cadet Choir is composed of
60 student Naval Aviators current
ly taking flight training in the Naval
Ail- Basic Training Command at
Pensacola. Since the organization of
the group 10 years ago, it has gain
ed a reputation as one of the finest
acappella choruses in the country.
GOING TO CREDIT CLINIC

leste Austin, and Miss Annie Le«
Riggsbee, the office staff of the
local Merchants' Association and
Credit Bureau, will attend the’N. C.
