Scenes At Colonial Inn And Speed-way Film Company Sets Hillsboro Agog When It Becomes Locale For Movie Against the backdrop of a stock-1 Focal points of the film story were years back the “Man Against car racing scenario, Hillsboro this the colorful and historic Colonial, Crime” series which starred Ralph week became “on location” to a Hollywood movie company, sched uled to complete today its local filming of a forthcoming television i show. ir MOVING ir PACKING ir STORAGE Fast, Efficient Service Reasonable Rates Free Estimates NORWOOD BROS. TRUCKING CO. Agents for Dean Van Lines, Inc. 136 W. FRANKLIN ST. PHONE 9-2321 Inn and the broad expanse of Orange Speedway. A top film figure, a sprinkling of veteran character actors and a bevy of Hollywood-and-Broadway- wi.se directors, production experts, camera, sound, and lighting men, make-up artists and costumers ar rived on Monday and v/ent into ac- 'ion. Excitement Aiid, the glamor of the movie in dustry was enough to set the com munity agog and bring out a re spectable quota of curiosity seekers and celebrity followers.. Nobody was disappointed. 'The star, tlie familiar movie vet eran, ■ James Whitmore, the other actors, also well-known in their own right, directors, the producer, and the varied technicians were affa ble, friendly and cooperative to a man, expressed an interest in the community, and generally made themselves pleasant. The Story The story being filmed, with prin cipal action at Colonial Inn and the Speedway, was explained by Pro ducer Michel Grilikbes as one of the “I” series being produced by Warner Bros, for CBS television showing later this year. The show being produced here is one of 13 in the series, is entitled, “I, Buck Larson, Stock Car Driver.” Direct ing the series is Frank McDonald, who has directed the Wyatt Earp series of TV movies and a few Bellamy. Much of the film for the current show had already been made of previous races at Orange Speedway, but Speedway Co-Owmer Enoch Staley brought in a half dozen of 'he best known drivers, such as Buck Baker and others, tor some closeup and other scenes. Basical ly, the producer explained, the story involved the conflict between the old pro racer, played by Whitmore, and the younger driver, played by Vic Morrow, who still sees glory and fame in his dare-devel pursuit. Morro\jj,j,,Wiy,. be remembered as a stellar''^fe'rlormer in “The Black board Jungle,” “King Creole” and other movies. Jim Boles, a New York character actor frequently seen on television, played the clerk at Colonial Inn and David Winters, who appeared in the movie, “The West Side Story,”, plays the starry Syed younger brother of Vic. Finish Today After shooting scenes at Colonial Inn Monday afternoon and evening, the action moved to the Speedway Tue,sday where it will continue through today. Other shows in the series have been filmed in other parts of the country, but for this week at least Hillsboro got a taste of the excite ment and a look, at least, at the volume of work and preparation which goes into the production of only one short film story. Wfiat Legal Control Means To You // Prohibition^' At Work Before we take a look at the question of legal control of alcoholic beverages in Oranc County, let's take a look at so-called "prohibition" at work here. Certainly, no one will contend that we have built a wall around Orange County and th no alcoholic beverages can seep through it into the county. We all know that many Oranc County residents make occasional trips to Durham, Raleigh or elsewhere to bring back a fe bottles for one purpose or another. And we all know that alcoholic beverages can be pL chased from bootleggers in Chapel Hill, Hillsboro and elsewhere in the county. So, whetb we are teetotalers or believe in moderate use of alcoholic beverags, we must admit that Oranc County is "dry" in name only — that "prohibition" is not working here. Question Not "Wet" or "Dry" Therefore, the question involved in the local option election Tuesday, February 3, is not whether Orange County will be "wet" or "dry" but HOW alcoholic beverages will be sold. Is it not better to put alcoholic beverages on the shelves of rigidly controlled ABC stores than to have them peddled on the street by bootleggers? Hundreds of leading North Carolina citizens, some of them formerly prohibitionists, have become convinced that the ABC system of legal control is far better than uncontroll ed bootlegging. Numerous surveys have shown that the problems of alcohol are much less serious in ABC areas than in so-called "dry" counties. There are many reasons for this, but the primary reason is that CONTROL of liquor— not its sale—is the prime concern of the state local ABC boards made up of outstanding citizens. Profit Secondary It is true that ABC stores and legal control bring millions of dollars to the local governir bodies where they operate. This money — $8,389,333.27 last year alone — is used for schoo public welfare, debt reduction and similar purposes. Profits are not the objective of the Nor Carolina ABC system, but how can any reasonable person argue that the profits are not bett spent for public purposes than vyould be the case if they were left in the hands of crimina to be used in financing illegal bootlegging operations. In other words, every dollar of profit made from ABC sales is a dollar taken from tl bootlegger, and from Durham, Caswell or other legal stores. Ten per cent of all ABC sales — more than $6,000,000 last year — go to the state where is placed in the general fund used for all state purposes except highways. This means th there is not a "dry" county in the state which has not already benefited materially from the A£ system. There is not a public school, not a state hospital, which has not shared in the prof of the system by receiving money which otherwise would have gone to the bootleggers. Confrol IS the Watchword Nowhere in any ABC store is an effort made to promote sales but, in every ABC area the public records show effective activity against illegal sales and abuse of alcoholic bev erages. The success of the units in the state ABC system is determined, not by their profits, but by their attack on crime and corruption, their reduction of excessive drinking and their promoticn of law and order. Members of the state ABC system last year allocated $758,063.22 for local law-en forcement, but no special law-enforcement funds are available to so-called "dry" counties. That is one reason bootlegging and alcoholic beverage violations are virtually non-existent in ABC counties and municipalities. The North Carolina ABC system tends to promote respect for law in general and the contre! law in parlicuSar. ft seeks to encourage temperance and discourage intemperance. And it takes the control of liquor out of the hands of bootleggers and puts it under rigidi confrol by both local and state authorities. Mony Benefifs Adoption of the North Carolina system of legal control in Orange County will bring mar benefits: 1. It will help eliminate bootlegging and the crime it breeds. 2. It will help to prevent sales to minors and children. 3. It will build new respect for the law. 4. It will provide its own funds for alcoholic beverage law-enforcement. 5. It will also provide money for alcohol education. 6. It will help Orange County business at home. 7. It will oromo+e progress and prosperit'/ in the countv. 8. It will bring Oranne Countv substantia' revenues which can be used to hold taxes dov: and pvn^nd 'rhook and other needed services. o 1+will -^1!+Com’^h/on the side of other progressive North Carolina countii which believe that control is far suoerior to bootlegging, hypocrisy and lawlessness.; Do Not Forget! The eleefion Tuesday, February 3, is not a "wet" or "dry" issue. It is not a question of liquor or no liquor. We will have alcoholic beverages (just as we do now) regardless of: the result of the election. The question is: Shall we have them in supervised ABC stores: under legal control or illegally peddled by uncontrolled bootleggers? We believe that a study of the benefits of legal confrol will convince the vast ma-: jority of Orange County citizens that the North Carolina ABC system is far superior to the: present system. We urge you to vote FOR legal control and ask your friends and neighbors to do the: same. Orange County Citizens For Legal Contt
