Oxford Orphanage license move stalls in NC Senate
Legislators backed away from forcing the Oxford Orphanage to obtain a state license, allowing the 161 year old Masonic Home for Children at Oxford to continue operating without supervision. The facility refuses black admission, and licensing for all homes stalled in Senate action as lawmakers delay until session end. Separately a highway crash over the holiday weekend killed 13 year old Angel Baker and injured eight others, raising state road fatalities to 630 for the year.
