serve the growing Chapel Hill area,
the postal service will be opening a

Ron Vickers, acting superintendent
of the Chapel Hill postal service.
; But the post office will not be

If you ever buy a carton of milk,
you may notice a picture of a missing
child on it and a request to help find
the child.
The Orange County school system
is now enacting a program to keep
its young students from becoming
missing children by supplying them
with identification kits.
The kits are being provided by
Protect-A-Child, a non-profit organ
ization based in Durham. The kits
will be distributed to first-graders at
no cost to the parents or the schools,
Orange County Schools Superinten
dent Dan Lunsford said.
"The program is totally voluntary,
and parents have the option of
putting as much or as little informa
tion as they wish into the kits,"
Lunsford said. "The idea (of supp
lying first-graders with the kits) first
came up this summer and a final
decision (to enact the program) was
made in early September."
Terri Welch, director of Protect-A-Child,
said the kits contain dental
charts, fingerprint cards, hair samples
and sheets that teach parents and
children what to do if the child
becomes missing.
The kit also contains a body outline
indicating any birthmarks, scars or
anything that will help law enforce
ment officials identify a child if he
or she becomes missing.

our operation has not arrived yet."
The office will serve people in the
general vicinity of the Timberlyne
area, mostly people who live on the
east or west side of Airport Road,
he said.
But customers will not be the only
beneficiaries of the office, he said. The
establishment of the new post office
will inevitably bring more people into
the shopping center.
However, the most welcome
benefit of the new office will be to
alleviate the crowded conditions at
Chapel Hill's main post office on
Protect-A-Child distributed more
than 15,000 kits in Durham City
Schools and Durham County
Schools at a cost of $32,000. Protect-A-Child
produces the kits using
public and private donations, Welch
said.

In an effort to raise money for the
Inter-Faith Council's homeless shel
ter and community kitchen, the
Village Companies will bring John
Denver to the Smith Center for a
holiday benefit concert in December.
Jim Heavner, president of the
Village Companies and the initiator
of the event, said he believes the
concert will be an excellent oppor
tunity for the community as a profit
making venture.
Proceeds from the concert will be
used for a building fund for the
hungry and the homeless.
Heavner said he hopes the money
from the concert will help solve the
recent debate over the location of the
shelter and community kitchen.
Funds could be used to either lease

The new post office is not the only
change being made in postal service
for the area. The main post office will
undergo renovations at the beginning
of next year.
"The building will get a new
facelift," Vickers said. A series of
improvements,1 costing approxi
mately $500,000, will be made to the
main office. Improvements will
include moving the service window
forward to make room for more

to incorporate both the shelter and

Heavner was contacted about the
possibility of hosting John Denver
through the Smith Center. He said
he felt Denver would be the perfect
entertainer for this kind of event.
"He is associated with the world
hunger movement and we were able
to have him waive the percentage of
profits that he would normally take
because he was supporting the move
ment," Heavner said.
Bernard Segal, vice president of the
fund-raising committee of the Inter
Faith Council, said the Smith Center
also would not take their usual cut
of the profits.
If Denver is able to bring in 4,500
people, the shelter could expect a
profit of about $50,000 to $75,000,
Segal said.

Gary Sabo, postal operations
analyst for Carrboro, said a new post
office for the town will be built, but
the site for the building has not been
determined yet.
"There has been an ad in the local
newspaper describing an appropriate
area for the building to take place,"
he said. After offers are made, the
size and the location of the suggested
areas will be analyzed.
After officials have selected a site,
they will then make funding requests.
And, after funding approvals, con
struction can begin, "hopefully within
the next few months," Sabo said.

Chapel Hill Police Roundup
a More than $ 1 3,000 in damage
piled up Friday in a three-car
accident on U.S. 15-501 near
Cleland Drive.
The accident occurred when a
car was merging left into a turn ,
lane and a second car tried to go
around it and struck the rear
bumper. The collision caused the
first car to cross lanes into the path
of an oncoming third car.
Damage to the first car was
estimated at $7,000. Damage to
the second car was estimated at
$1,700. Damage to the third car
was estimated at $5,000.
Laura Ruth Meador, 23, of
Dickens Court in Chapel Hill, was
the driver of the second car. She

violation and failure to reduce
speed to avoid an accident. No
other charges were filed in the
accident.
B A School Lane resident
reported Saturday that while she
was on Graham Street, her coat
got caught in a car door. The
driver did not know the coat was
caught, so he began to drive off.
The woman was pulled alongside
the car and sustained a few
scratches and bruises.
o Eight noise complaints were
reported to police this weekend,
including two from Pritchard
Avenue.
B Cars had a hard weekend, as
numerous vandalism and breaking
and entering incidents were
reported.
An Audi owned by a Pittsboro
man was vandalized Friday and
someone entered it through the
right door. A radar detector and
radio were stolen, and sugar water
was poured on the outside of the

feedback from students through the

tough questions, but the kind that

Students have asked questions
such as whether the candidates would
support them and whether they
would "stand up to authority," Cell
said.
