VoL S 3 No. 8 Godfrey Says PTA to Pash ABCQaesthw What are the possibflitiea of a vote on ABC stores for just Chapel Hiß? After much unfavorable reaction to the Chapel Hill PTA’s decision to ask the i Orange county commission ers for a vote on the issue, discussion among school fund seekers has local ABC stores. To have a local ABC vote,! a special act would hare to be introduced in the General:; Assembly. However, if the: vote passed, all funds would go to the local governments and they could be earmark-' ed for schools. Six towns in the state have ABC stores! although the counties in which they are located arej dry. Commissioner Dwight Ray of Carrboro went on record this week against an ABC vote for the county. “If the people of the county want an election on the issue, they will have to petition for it.**: he said. Mr. Ray that he had “enjoyed the, privilege of voting against! ABC stores twice before" ini county referendum*. Com missioner Edwin S. Lanier i has already come out strong ly against an ABC vote, and Commissioner R. J. M. Hobbs said this week be would still prefer to wait before going on record. Despite some unfavorable reaction to the county ABC referendum on one band, school forces continued to maintain their needs for. capital outlay. Carl Smith, local school board chairman, declared, "If it taken the eeMng of an ABC efeetlfca to jar the people from apathy about the nuedl for more capital outlay, then I think 1 it’s a good thing." Jayoee President Bob Out!] explained the action of his ' organization in hacking up . the PTA’s referendum re- 1 quest: "We’re not for or against ABC stores in the ' county.

This issue ends 32 years of the Weekly. The paper was established March 1, 1923. On some of its annivers aries I have written articles of reminiscence, varying in length according to my mood. I remember one that ran to about two columns. Another consisted of fifteen words, ss follows: “I have been running the Weekly twenty years and I am very tired of it.” • Everybody (except those rare birds, the all-time opti mist and the all-time pessi mist) is that way about his occupation. Sometimes he bubbles over with goodwill toward it; at other times he loathes it. This variation may be due to one or more of innumerable circumstan ces ; to the state of the diges tion, for example, or to a nagging problem of one kind or another. Zest and weari ness come and go, in an end less cycle. Two or three years ago one of the clubs here asked me to talk to it about the Weekly. In the question-and-answer period one of the members asked if I had enjoyed getting out the paper through the years. I answered: “Sometimes I like it, sometimes I feel like saying to-hell-with-it.” I sold the paper a year ago but have continued my connection with it as contri buting editor. I have been glad indeed to be freed of the duties of management— which are far more trouble some and take a great deal jmore time than people out side the newspaper publish ing business Mg aware of— and to limitJlfijMtoifpElJke .

But the three county commissioners who live here viewed the meas ure with caution and ex-' pressed varied opinions. The measure would make it mandatory for the com missioners to put the sup plementary school tax back up to 20 cents. It was cut to 12 cents last summer be cause, according to the com missioners, property revalu ation would result in much larger tax revenues. And the purpose of revaluation was not to raise but to equalize taxes, the commiss ioners said. Chapel Hill School Super intendent C. W. Davis esti mated that restoring the 20- cent supplement would mean . between |14,000 and |15,000 more money for local schools to spend on teachers. “I think it would be a good thing. It ought to be the authority of the school board to set the supplement rate. They know the situ*- uation in the community,” ■ Mr. Davis said. Mr. Davis explained that i the additional funds would - enable schools here to raise ' the annual supplementary ' pay for teachers SSO to 910 ft ! Currently, the highest local , supplement to 9120 annually. , In the need far a librarian at Glen wood school t and an extra teacher at the > Chapet could be : fulfilled. At the present, 15 teach ! era here are on strictly local ! pay, and four others thaeh t ing vocational subjects are ■ paid one-third of their sal aries locally.
