JOHN UMSTEAD—IN A PUZZLING SITUATION—Orange Coun
ty's Representative in the Geheral Assembly faced a puzzling situa
tion in more ways than one as he sat in oh the hearings on proposed
school legislation in Raleigh this week. Whiie keeping an ear cocked
to the speakers' presentations he scratched away vigorously at a
crossword puzzle book in keeping with his habit of many years. By
4 p.m. of the first day’s hearings he'd worked through to page 25
of his first hook, and observed he was "in pretty good form" for
the session. News Leader Photo
The first step tuumid spluti'on ol the ;ong-standing in
equities brought about by Canbiiro and White Cross,area
children attending the Chapel Hill schools was started last
night at a joint meeting here of the Chapel Hill and County Schojl
Boards tf-th the Carrboro District School Committee,
The step marked the first such cooperative meeting of the Chapel
Hill and Carrboro groups in many years and local school officials oaw
in it the possibility of ending a number of differences between the
two areas of the community.
To Consider Three Moves
As a rc.'.ilt of la.st night’s tw'o-hour session in the Chapel Hill
Sch.iol Library, the Carrboro School Committee members agreed to
sound out parents and taxpayers of their attendance dist-ict on three
possible steps they might take; (1) Vote on assesring a supplementary
school tax on themselves; (21 Vote on joining the Chapel Hill^ special
School District—in which cise they would pay the $.15 .upplementary
tax now assessed there; or (3) Expre.s a preference for a vote in the
County bcnool District on the levying of a supplementary school tax
in thi • area.
The Carrboro Committee members agreed to get the sentiment
or their community through personal contact, through the Carr
boro Citizens School Committee, and at the first Parent-Teacher
Association meeting in the Shortly after the school term
opens, the Carrboro spokesmen said, they would report on what
course they felt was preferred bv their people.
The immediate problem discussed at last night’s meeting was
the fi ‘:al inequality of many year s standing that exists because about
400 school children from outsidv Chapel Hill Special School District
are assigned to Chapel Hilf Schooil? by the County School System each
year. They derive the benefits there from the S.15 supplementary

are made for them. •
Chapel Hill School Board member Mrs. 0. David Garvin noted
last night that a taxpayer in the Chapel Hill Divrict might have
grounds to institute a law -ait on the basis of this situation and have
the supplementary tax thrown out.
Felt Carrboro Should Pay
Out of the talks last night it became clear that the Carrboro
Committee felt citizenj of their area should pay through a tax of some

Committee Chairman Carl Ellington and his fellow members
felt that a start «n the new 16-classroom Carrboro School would
have to be made before the people of their area would be psycho
logically ready again to vote favorably on assessing themselves a
new tax. Alost of his Committee, too, felt that the School should be
complete and in use before such an election -was called. They sug
gested that the spring of 1958 would be the logical time for this.
On the other hand, the Chapel Hill Board members-, hoping to
be able to realize some compensation for non-District children attend
ing their schools by the A857-56 .vhool year, suggested that such an
election might be successfully carried next spring, thus making tax
money available by the folowing fall.
Says ‘Facts' Most Important
Mrs. J'’ • ? West of the Carrboro Committee said “I think it’s not
as important that we try to find 'he right psychological time’ as it is
to inform the people. If they know the facts I believe they will vote for

It was brought out that the Carrboro Committee had passed a
resolution to call for a supplementary tax election in their area •hortly
