Saperstein has his fingers crossed with only 26 more games to play during the regular season. He says: “We want to go Into the World Series of Basketball thin year with a perfect record for the season.

The bill would allow persons to get their licenses re-issued every four years! by submitting to the Motor Ve-' hides Department that they were in good physical and mental health and a certificate showing they had had an eye examination.

As of April 1st, the Orange Presbytery Commission dissolves Chapel Hill’s Deacon and Elder Boards, following up the firing of the well liked Reverend Charles Jones sometime ago.

Jones told an unsegregated Raleigh audience that this is nothing new, ‘Many of you . . . know you are not free to go to any church you may choose . . . because of your dark skin ...” The minister, besides elimination of segregation in his church, at one time gave sanctuary in his home to Ne groes who had “tested" the Jim Crow law on buses in North Carolina . . .
