Board Declines Court Raises The Orange County Board of Commissioners has declined to ap prove a requested increase in the salaries of the judge and prosecut ing attorney of the County Record er’s Court. At its Monday meeting. Attorn eys B. D. Sawyer and John T. Man ning presented a resolution from, the County Bar Assn, recommend ing that the judge’s salary be in creased from $2,250 to $3,000 per year and the prosecutor’s from $1, 900 to $2,700 per year. Thefts, Breakins Are Reported Chapel Hill police today were in vestigating the theft of an automo bile from its parking place in the 400 block of East Franklin St. last night. Miss Betty Jean Pegram, of Chapel Hill reported the theft of her 1957 black Mercury car this morning. Officers were also investigating two instances of breaking and en tering. Someone entered the Jim Mclver home on Chapel Hill Route One Oct. 23 and took two Marine uniforms. Officials of Yates Plumbing Co., 114 South Graham St., reported that someone entered their estab lishment Nov. 4. They said they could not find anything missing. Orange County now has a meat inspection ordinance to control the slaughter of meat-type animals in compliance with a 1957 enactment of the General Assembly. The ordinance makes it unlaw ful for any person or firm to sell, offer for sale or process any beef, veal, mutton, lamb, goat or swine unless it has been subjected to, an inspection by an official veterinar ian approved by the County Com- missionei;s within 24 hours prior to and 24 hours after the slaughter ing. An official Orange County meat stamp was approved for use in im plementing the ordinance and Dr. W. H. Vanderbilt, Durham veteri narian, was appointed the official meat inspector for Orange County. Dr. Vanderbilt has been handl ing the inspection for ^’armers Ex change Livestock Marker prior to this time. The Exchange carries on a custom slaughtering service for farmers primarily but about 25% goes into commercial channels. Piedmont Packing Company, the county’s major meat processing firm', is virtually unaffected by tl»e. ordinance. The ordinance was effective im mediately upon its approval Mon day by the commissioners. The ordinance covets the handl ing @f meat only when it is to be offered for sale. It does not involve animals which are slaughtered for consumption by the owner. * Hakan Is Recommended As Plan Board Member The Chapel Hill Planning Board has recommended the appointment of Joe Hakan as the out-town mem ber of the board, succeeding Stacy Neville. The action was taken when ,Mr. Hakan announced he will be mov ing soon to the Mt. Bolus area. He is presently secretary of the group. Should Mr. Hakan be named, the Board of Aldermen will name his successor from Chapel Hill residents. The planners authorized the chairman, Frank G. Umstead, to sign a contract with the federal government for funds to inaugu rate a major thoroughfare plan here. Under the contract, the gov ernment will match $750 approp riated by the town of Chapel Hill under the “701” plan. Completion of the right-of-ways and intersec tion study will bring the program up to the point of detailed engi neering drawings. The group also recommended ap proval of the 12-lot Clark Hills subdivision near Lake Forest Estates and decided to intensify studies on a special permit or re zoning of the Conner Ridge area for a long-'phase shopping center proposed by Security Homes' of Raleigh. The planners said they are seeking “sufficient controls” before recommending rezoning or a permit grant. UNC Grad Student Cleared Of Assaulting Local Officer Fred Siemer, 20-year-old Univers ity graduate student charged with tearing down a goal post and then assaulting an officer after the UNC-Maryland game here Oct. 18, was cleared Tuesday on the assault charge. However, Recorder’s Court Judge William S. Stewart ordered Siemer, who lost a fellowship in the UNC Chemistry Dept as an aftermath of the incident, to pay $10 and costs on a charge of public drunkenness and costs and restitution to the school for destruction of property. The charges were brought against Siemer by Officer H. A. Gattis, who said he spotted Siemer and others tearing down the goal posts at the south end of Kenan Stadium following the Tar Heels’ 27-0 romp over Maryland. Gattis told the court that Siemer repeated, when approached by the officer, that “I’ve got to tear the goal posts down.” The officer said Siemer pushed him twice and that when he “put” him over a short fence, the youth pushed him and ran away. Testimony by Capt. Coy Durham and Lindy Pendergrass of the police department tended to back Gattis’ testimony. Siemer, defended by J. Q. Le- Grand, argued that he, not the'of- ficer, was pushed. He said that he and four other persons were “lifting” the goal posts from the ground when Gattis approached. He said that Gattis never mentioned an arrest but backed him toward the fence and then “threw him over.” He said he never touched the officer, and ran only because he felt that Gat tis “wasn’t taking the situation in the same spirit that I was.” He admitted that he had had “a few” drinks. Witnesses for the defendant were three UNC students: John Harney, Richard Jones, and Rich ard Moulton, who testified they saw most of the incident and did not see Siemer touch the officer.

Flying Axe Hits Walker Car On Road Attoney Bonner Sawyer, plead ing to the County Commissioners Monday for raises for the judge and solicitor of the county court, opined that being judge in many respects was a hazardous task. He pointed to the slaying of a judge in an eastern county by a crated or crack-pot criminal and said our own judge, of course, might be subject to the same treatment. All of which moved Commiss ioner Henry S. Walker to point out in an aside that being com missioner also had its hazards. Mr. and Mrs. Walker were re turning from Durham one day last week in their automobile when an axe suddenly fell upon their ear's front hood and shat tered the windshield in front of them. Investigation later proved a slightly - inebriated wood-cutter, working on a bank high above the highway, peeved at being un able to chop down the tree on which he was korking, had flung the axe as far as he could send it, not realizing In his state of sobriety that he might be en dangering the lives and damag ing the property of passersby on the highway below. The Walkers miraculously were uninjured, however. NOPE, THEY WON'T TAKE A DOLLAR—Parking merers go Into operation Monday morning but they won't take a dollar bill, as Leo Murphy discovers above. Motorists will find the meters in three colors, denoting the time they will allow. Town Manager Tom Rose says the pale green meters will be two-hour machines, silver meters one-hour, and bronze meters, 12 minutes. Pennies may be used in all machines, nickels in the hour and two-hour meters. Installation of 403 meters was completed this week. Netvs Leader Photo Free Downlown Parking To End Meters Go Into Operation Monday Free parking in most downtown spaces ends Monday morning. Be ginning that day, motorists will be paying for the privilege. Town Manager Thomas Rose an- nouheed to^ay that parking meter installation has been completed and that the machines will start oper ating Monday. They will operate from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. except on holidays and Sun day. Three types of meters will be in operation — 12-minute machines, colored bronze; one-hour machines, colored silver; and two-hour mach ines, colored pale green. Pennies can be used in each of the machines, and nickels in the one-and two-hour machines. Violations for overtime parking will bring offenders fines of $1 in Chapel HiU Traffic Court. Addition al fines will be assessed against motorists who attempt to add to the time of the meter by putting in money to extend the meter past its prescribed limit. Chief of Police Bill Blake said to- dya that there will be no “leeway” for offenders early next week when the machines go into operation. Fines will start immediately. There are 403 meters, both single and dual, in the downtown area.

There has been more partici pation than ever before in Chapel Hill in any other community-wide drive. People are enthusiastic. We are very much encouraged.” Drive crairman Orville Campbell was pleased with the early re sponse but cautioned, “We are off to a good start, but our success de pends on how we finish.

White Oak Church road and Bowden road. Scheduled now for addition to the system this year is Westview drive, Forrest street, Glendale Heights and Dillard Street. Improvements scheduled for the current fiscal year are expected to cost $252,200. Last year’s ap propriation was $134,984. Mr. Burton said the commission would begin right away to revise the point system to set up the new priorities. He praised highly Mr. Walters for the “splendid job he has done in this county,” having kept up the repairs as well as push ing the betterment program. Chapel HiU system next year. The school board discussed the matter briefly at its meetiOB MoiH; day night and then decided to pass the question along to the parent- teacher groups for study.

The board also voted to share the cost, with the Orange County Board of Education, of lawyers who handled successful litigation the day before the merger election in August against a restraining or der brought by Carrboro citizens. Chapel Hill will pay $50 of the bill, and county board $100. The board also decided to appeal to the State Highway Commission for paving of the road near Estes HiUs ” School, and ask the Orange County Commissioners for top prior ity on the road^ The gravelled stretch is botr dusty and muddy, it was noted.
