"But there are other good reasons for supporting Christmas Seals in their fight against TV and other respiratory diseases.

Drake will leave I Monday for Raleigh to attend a session of the North Carolina I Legislature called by Governor Dan K. Moore for the purpose i of amending the Speaker Ban Law. Governor Moore called the session last Friday following the report of a special study commission which recommend ed that the law, passed in 1963, be amended. The nine-member commis sion filed a unanimous report which: ?Would transfer back to the boards of trustees of State-sup ported colleges and universities the authority to regulate ap pearances by Communists or Fifth Amendment pleaders In loyalty matters. The trustees would however, have to adopt a "Speaker Policy" containing "rules and precautionary mea sures." ? Brought a summons from Governor Moore for a special session of theGeneral Asse^jb ly, opening at noon Nov. 15, to consider the amendment. ? Led Moore to call a special meeting of the trustees of the University of North Carolina at 11 a. m. Nov. 12 at the Cap itol to consider adopting the "Speaker Policy." Trustees of other affected Institutions were asked to meet for the same purpose on or before Nov. 12. ?Found the University Inno cent of the "Red nest" charges backgrounding the exactment of the law in 1963. "The evidence before us falls to Justify charges of irresponsible radicalism at Chapel Hill," the commission said. ? Made It apparent that the alternative to the amendment would be withdrawal of accred itation of the Institutions by the Southern Association of Col leges and Schools, inc. The plan to end the long, emo tional controversy over the Speaker Ban drew prompt en dorsement from Governor Moore, Lt. Gov. Bob Scott and House Speaker Pat Taylor. "I approve the report and Its recommendations without any reservations," Governor Moore told the commission, an audience representing both sides of the question and tele vision viewers across the State. The lengthy report was read by Commission Chairman Rep. David Brltt, who occupied the central platform with Moore.

Bothered By Rules For Projects Contracts for the construc tion of additions to the Warren County school garage and main tenance warehouse were award ed by the Board of Education at its regular meeting Monday night. The projects call for a total expenditure of $70,759.24 of which $28,029 will be for new construction and $38,029 for re modeling the present garage at Warren Plains. Also added to the cost will be architects fees for Owen Smith of Raleigh In the amount of $4,005.24. Ika?ganeral rontrart was awarded to O. K. Tharrington of Henderson whose bid was $43,800. The plumbing contract was awarded to Mechanicals Associates of Cary at a cost of $4,467. The heating contract ?was?awarder! tO W. M. Wig gins of Wilson at a cost of $13,742. The electrical contract was awarded to House Elec tric Company of Warrenton at a cost of $4,745. The total size of the new and remodeled building will be 14,809 feet, of which the new area will be 2,839 square feet. The total costs of the building are $4.51 per square foot. Smith was present at the board meeting to discuss the construction of the building and to explain cost items. The board members told the architect that the estimated cost greatly exceeded estimates of the board, but agreed with him that costs could not be cut without sacrificing needed quality. Supt. Peeler said that the one thing that made him think that the bids were not excessive was the closeness of bids submitted by three con tractors, which were within a 5 per cent range. Smith said that construction bids usually averaged around a 15 per cent difference between the high and the low bid. Smith also said that he had been in contact with the manu facturer of the skylights for the John Graham High School gym nasium, which had proven un satisfactory, and that the man ufacturer had agreed to replace them. He also proposed that ventilators be placed In the gymnasium roof to allow sur plus heat of the summer to escape. This heat is blamed for a dripping problem. Supt. Peeler said that the new building would not only be used as a school garage and parts storage plant, but would be used as a maintenance ware house and workshop for the school maintenance crew. He said that the crew does much building of cabinets, and other Items used by the school and that the present shop at Ma con is Inadequate for the crews needs. In addition, he added, the warehouse will provide a storage place under proper temperature for storage of left over paint. It has been neces sary, he said, for this paint to be kept In various school buildings to avoid its being ruin ed by freezing. The awarding of the contract for the school garage and main tenance warehouse was the only Item of business oompleteri In the three-hour session of the board. The members spent much time reviewing the proposed goverr-nent plan for deprived children under title 1 of the government aid to education act as explained by Sapt. Peeler and expressed misgiving over the way the section had been drawn. Under the plan, over which the State Board of Btt? cation sad the North Congressional delegation, t would be discrimination, children.
