Mixed Schools Don’t Seem to Be in Cards for This Fall, But Policy Will Be Set on Aug. 15 Will Chapel Hill have mixed schools this fall? The answer, while it is almost certain to be “no,” is still unsettled. In a week of integration-segregation field, occurred: 1. The Chapel Hill School Board called a meeting for August 15 to determine its policy for local schools for the 1955-56 fiscal year. 2. The Chapel Hill Council for Negro Affairs, through its chairman, J. P. Burnette, announced it will attempt to enroll “a few” Negro stu dents in white schools here in September. (A member of the Negro community told the Weekly that the Council was not a large organization and did not have widespread support in the community. He said Mr. Burnette, who preaches at a church some miles north of Chapel Hill, took the chairmanship after the isters of the established Chapel Hill Negro churches turned it down.) 3. School Board Chairman Carl Smith told board mem bers he thought integration in the public schools was “feasible,” “possible,” and “inevitable." However, he said integration was also, in his opinion, “highly unde sirable.” Meanwhile, in Hillsboro, the Board of Education for the county school system (which does not include Chapel Hill) postponed taking any action on inte gration policy. The reason given was the absence of one of its members, Harry P. Breeze. Th% county board was dis cussing the wisdom of set ting up a committee to study the segregation question and to make recommendations to the Board of Education.

While there is nothing definite, the Weekly has learned that several mer chants are anxious to see Mrs. Clarence Whitefield (the former Jane Smoak) return to the office. She served as secretary until last Hpring, when she resigned to become bookkeeper at the Pritchard-Little Motor Com pany. Mrs. Whitefield’s entry Into the picture takes on a strange twist in that she is working at present for Mr. Little, the Association’s President. Mr. Little has commented that he would hate very much to see Mrs. Whitefield leave his organ ization, but he would cer tainly have no objections to the job being offered to her if that were the wishes of the board of directors.
