FRIDAY ISSUE Next Issue Taeadny Vol. 33 No. 20 Rep. Umstead Sobmits Bill Aimed to Aid Schools Here A bill authorizing a school bond issue and school tax for the Chapel Hill school district was introduced by; Representative John W.| Pnstead in the Legislature' this week. If passed, it! would provide for an election on a bond issue to finance 1 needed capital outlay re quirements of the Chapel Hill schools and for a tax to be used only in payment of principal and interest on the bonds. Carl Smith, chairman of the Chapel Hill Board of Education, said that the bill was “permissive legislation,” and that if it passed it would “permit the people to vote for a tax supplement, pro vided 15 per cent of the voters in the school district signed a petition requesting it.” Thus the bill can be put into use only if the people want it. The bill is made so that should it be decided that the bond issue would be worth while. it can be put into effect without waiting for the next session of the to meet, and it grves Chapel Hill the right to act even if the rest of the county doesn’t want to vote on the bond issue. At pres ent only the County Com missioners have the right to call a countywide bond issue election. Mr. Smith said that the new bill amounts to a tax for capital* outlay as con trasted to the pruisntpßr piementary tax fdr cunguat expenses. The County Com missioner* divide up the money for capital outlay be tween the Chapel Hill and the county schools ss they see fit, and last year they gave the Chapel Hill district $46,000. About 37 cents out of the 62 cent tax rate per SIOO valuation goes into the schools, but only s small £rt of this is for capital outlay. There are two ways to raise the amount needed for capital outlay, according to (Continued os page It) Community Council Will Meet Tuesday The Community Council will moat nt S p.m. Tuesday ia the Town Hull sad oloet oAcors for the coming year.

CorawoH right. Mr. Burch. aha first ua Two persoud with whom I am well acquainted were bom 71 years ago this month, only nine days apart. I have known (me of them all my life as a fellow vil lager and as neighbor and friend. I have seen him and talked with him thousands of times. The other I have never seen, and he does not know me, but for the last; dozen or so yeats I have j known him well by reputa tion. One is John W. Johnson, the janitor of the Chapel Hill Weekly. The other is Harry S. Truman, former President of the United States. John W. Johnson was bom May 17, 1884. Harry Truman was bora May 8, 1884. Harry S. Tru man’s birthplace is Lanier, Missouri. I learned that by looking in “Who’s Who in America.” John’s birthplace is a farm five miles north of Chapel Hill. I couldn’t have learned that from “Who’s Who” because John is not listed there, but I didn’t need the help of the famous red volume; I know the place well. The sketch of Harry S. Truman in “Who’s Who” contains 25 lines. From the facts told about him there, up to about his thirty-fifth year, you would not suppose that he had a much better chance to become President of the United States than John Johnson hud.

William Alexander, who was fourth in the race for the three vacant places on the Board, was at the meet ing to enter a formal pro test against the seating of Mr. Wade. Discussion of the protest was not permitted before the installation of the three newly elected aldermen, Obie Davis, Gene Strowd, and Mr. Wade. This action was based on the re commendation of Town At torney John Q. LeGrand, wh
