Mr. Rose said it was time a younger man took over the task of run ning the Town. Ck«pd Hill CHAFF <r- - By Joe Jones l-ast Thursday s paper said Miss Mary Gilsons war on squirrels was legalized when the Aldermen voted for an ordinance amendment permitting an adult to receive written permission the Chief of Police “to ™isc an air rifle to shoot squirrels or other predatory animals on his property.” This doesn’t give Miss Gilson •as free a hand as it looks. Squirrels are game animals subject to state game laws and may not be shot except in the squirrel hunting season. Boards of Aldermen notwithstanding. Unless Miss Gilson is willing to risk apprehension by the game warden, she can’t shoot squirrels till the season opens in the fall. Kven then, she can’t legally shoot them without buying a hunting license. Game laws are tricky and arc apt to pounce from ambush on the unsuspecting. Some years ago when Louis Graves was editor of the Weekly we received a story about a possum Vic Huggins captured when it was blinded by his car headlights. Since it wasn't possum hunting season 1 •suggested to Mr. Graves that " uch a story might cause trouble for Mr Huggins. He agreed and •he story v'as killed. The same thing happened when another Weekly staff member wanted to write an article about two baby raccoons that were captured at the edge of the Du Bose woods by a boy living across the road on Rogerson Drive. The Weekly once ran a story al>oijf a local farmer who shot a bald eagle. A few days later .a Federal marshal came to in vestigate and the farmer bad to pay a big fine.

B Craven of Morganton has been “cleared" by the Department of Justice for appointment as the new federal district judge in western North Carolina, and that formal nomination by President Kennedy is expected "within a few days." However, a direct check w r ith the Attorney General's office in Washington indicated that Mr. Seawell's nomination was still in the "tentative" stage. Attorney General Robert Ken nedy himself was not available. A secretary with a refrigerated voice said he was in a meeting and would the Attorney General s press officer do? There was a pause while the call was switched, followed by the usual formalities of long dis tance introduction via the opera tor .

Sabin The Chapel Hill area isn't likely tu be affected by the current controversy over the live or dead v irus jxdio vaccine, according to District Health Director Dr. O. flrtvid Gdi vill. Dr Garvin said so far as he knows the Salk vaccine, which uses a dead virus, will continue lo be used in North Carolina The American Medical Association re cently endorsed a live virus vac cine developed by Albert B. Sa bin. The Salk vaccine was the first major breakthrough in controlling polio It was introduced to wide use in 1955. Several doses must be administered with a hypodermic needle for immunity The Sabin vaccine, now in wide use in oth er parts of the world, can be ad ministered orally and one dose i*. supposed to provide immunity Dr. Garvin said he had received no word on the controversy through official channels and was in no position to comment He did say, however, that "we have had a definite improvement and reduction in polio eases tie- Two Are Injured In Midtown Wreck Harry l-ec Stollar and Josie Lovelace were under treatment in Memorial Hospital this morning after colliding with a lelephonc pole on North Columbia Street in a sports ear at 12:05 a m. today.

No opposition lo the ap pointment has appeared and con firmation is expected to pass the Senate easily. In Mr. Seawell's case, however, the story is different Though se lected for the Middle District judgeship by Senators Erwin and Jordan. Mr. Seawell's progress toward clinching the wb has ap parently been stalled by opposi tion from bar associations in Surry. Wilkes, and Yadkin Coun ties. Several other bar associations in the Middle District have sent letters to the Justice Department proposing another candidate for the judgeship.

Dr. Garvin said he understood from newspaper that the new vaccine is administered oral ly "If it is easier to administer and if it is as effective or even nearly so, it would be worlh it because of the ease of reaching more people through oral admin istration as opposed to injec tions.” He said he would like to have sonic of the new vaccine but knew of no possibility of getting any. He urged everyone to take ad vantage of what is available, however, and go to their family doctor for vaccination. I’olio cases for the first six months of this year have declin ed sharply over the first six months of last year. Dr. Garvin pointed out.

Resolution Supports Districting By LARRY SMITH The Chapel Hill School Board gained additional support this veck for its decision to assign first graders on a geographic rather than racial basis. But another supporting group in Glenwood decided to abandon joint action. At the same time Glenwood opponents of the de cision are "cuuunuing to study the problem." The latest developments: —The Mayor's Human Rela tions Committee held a special meeting Tuesday night to draw up a letter praising the School Board action, which will integrate all the Town's elementary schools. —A Glenwood group, which op poses the gerrymandered Glen wood District that will make its school the most highly integrated iu Town, met informally Tuesday night with several members of the School Board. —A not he r Glenwood group which last week publicly endorsed (he board's decision met Monday night and decided not to circulate petitions supporting its stand. About a dozen people who ap prove the integration plan met at Mr. and Mrs. John Carr’s Mon day night Philip C. Schinhan stressed that there never was any formal or ganisation. "it was just inter- Ho Mid they decided not to circulate their petitions after "considerable investigation con vinced us that an overwhelming majority of people actually en dorse the board s decision. There did not appear to be substantial objection to warrant a petition. "We all agreed wc thought it would be sufficient to urge our friends to voice their individual support in whatever way they de sire." Billy Carmichael said the op posing group "is not going to fight any battle of statements. We are interested in trying to work out a solution best to the com munity without a lot of shouting and rabble-rousing. "Just say we arc continuing to actively study the problem and iccl it would not be appropriate to comment at this time." The group has not begun circulating its petitions yet. he said. The Human Relations Commit tee's letter is as follows: "We. the Mayor's Committee on Human Relations, commend to the citizens of Chapel Hill and t 'arboro the recent policy of the School Board on pupil assign ment.
