FRIDAY ISSUE Next Issue Tuesday Vol. 33, No. 48 Big Bargains Promised for Dollar Days It’s “Dollar Days” in Chapel Hill and Carr boro to morrow and Saturday. More than 90 per cent of the retail business estab lishments of the two com munities are cooperating in this first joint merchandis ing promotion they have ever staged. In a final check-up meet ing Tuesday, Carlton Byrd, chairman of the “Dollar Days” committee of the Chamber of Commerce and Merchants Association, said he had “never seen such co operation among all mer chants.” He added later they realize that “Offering real values and bargains dur ing this event is the only way to hold the customers we are attracting.” Every medium of mass communication has been em ployed to reach potential customers in the Hillsboro, Pittsboro, Carrboro and Chapel Hill areas. News papers are printing extra copies with a heavy volume of advertising, and the •radio is carrying extra an nouncements. Banners will be posted on every cooperating business firm in both Chapel Hill and Carrboro. Noise makers, too, will be used to enliven things. One firm for in stance, will ring a bell every 15 minutes and every time the bell rings prices will go down $1 on the bargains tke firm is offering during the two-daj sale. Jk>me peaces will have gifts and prizes for customers. Not all values are limited to fl. A survey of the more than 30 “Dollar Days” ad vertisements in today's Weekly shows some stores have generously reduced prices on clothing, home furnishings and housewares. In fact, the “Dollar Days” values will prevail in almost %very retail establishment, many service and automobile firms, and even theatres. “If the weather is good, we look for a grand recep tion of this promotion,” Mr. Byrd said. “Deadwood Dick” Friday and Saturday \-"v/:I „*>i >’ t V '; n .

In Torrential Rains Fall on Chapel Hill As Hurricane Diane Crosses Piedmont Heavy rainfall and gusts of wind up to 60 miles per hour hit Chapei Hill yesterday morning and around noon as Hurricane Diane blew itself out over Pied mont North Carolina. There were no reports of serious damage to p- perty or interruption of utilities’ services as the Weekly went to press at noon. The area had been subjected to intermittent heavy rainfall, starting late Tuesday. But dur ing the night as the hurricane moved inland between Southport and Myrtle Beach and took a northwesterly course, it was ac companied by heavy rain. The U. S. Weather Bureau at the Raleigh-Durham Airport em phasised that while the hurricane was losing its fury, there would be strong gusts of wind and heavy intermittent rain all day. There was a difference between Hazel of 1U54 and Diane. Hazel hit the entire area suddenly. The winds built up quickly from 20 to 75 miles per hour. Diane has I Hill.

Too, Diane’s winds came from the northeast, Hazel’s from the northwest. U nivarsity Serv i« a Plant crews as well as private utilities’ employees were ready to make repairs to any service interrup tions as quickly as possible. As usual, if any power services are interrupted, first repairs will be made to the damage affecting the most people. Stores here did a fairly brisk business in candles and sterno stoves and heat, just in case. WUNC-TV crews were at the Raleigh-Durham Airport weather bureau providing remote service to broadcasting and television stations. Chapei Hillians had renewed concern, however, for damage by water to North Carolina beach property. High tides flooded streets at both Carolina and Wrightsville beaches and tore away much of the repair work that had been done during the four days since Connie. Vaca tioners from the village at the beaches were evacuated late Tuesday. Mrs. Jake Wade, who is help ing her mother, Mrs. Frank Landis, at the Ladis Cottage at Wrightsville beach, told Mr. Wade by telephone late Tuesday that repairs to the cottage had been interrupted and that they were moving inland to wait out the storm.

Ben Curry was already half-way through breakfast when I went in the College Case at 7 o’clock last Satur day morning. Asked why he had got up so early, he said, “I didn’t get up early; I’ve been up all night.” “How come?” “Working on my disserta tion,” he said. “I oft;en spend the whole night on it. I’ll get to bed about ten o’clock this morning, sleep as long as I feel like it, and maybe work all night to night.” “What stage is your dis sertation in?” I asked. “It’s almost finished,” was the reply. “I’m revising now. Last night I revised two chapters of about sixty pages each. Mostly deciding what passages could be tak en out of the regular text and put in footnotes. It’s quite a job.” Mr. Curry is getting a Ph. D. degree in economics. His subject is strikes and sei zure laws in Virginia. He will leave next month to take a teaching post at Memphis State College in Memphis, Tennessee. He formerly taught at Stetson College in Florida. “Now tell me why you are up so early on a Saturday morning,” Mr. Curry said when I had quit quizzing him on his thesis. “Dr. Gaston Rogers asked me the same thing the oth er day,” I replied, “and I told him it was because I 1 had so much work to do at the Weekly and wanted to t get at it.

The board, however, unanimous ly passed a resolution stat ing its responsibility in carrying out the Supreme Court’s decision and its plan to operate the schools ac cording to the public laws of North Carolina. Any integration in the Chapel Hill schools seems unlikely this year. Board chairman Carl Smith said following the meeting that heVdid not “anticipate any integration this fall.” At the meeting Mr. Smith said, that as far as he knew, no re quests had been received from Negro students seek ing admission to the white schools, and that “only one person has asked for inte gration in Steptember, and I have had a lot of people write to me or talk to me on ttte subject.” The resolution passed by the Board follows: “The responsibility of carrying out the Supreme Court’s decision is in our hands. This decision says that we cannot deny a per son admission to a public the fatr-mindedneaa of the peo ple of our district will be neeeesary, at we face the fwMiss and opportunities, K we are to keep our pubUf •shoo) system. Our pubMs school system can be pre served if we sincerely try to provide adequate School fa cilities and curriculum for all of our children.
