In a Meeting
At Town Hall
A public meeting of all
property owners and busi
nessmen interested in pro
viding off-street parking in
the East Franklin Street
district will be held
at the Chapel Hill Town Hall

Everybody interested in
the project is invited to be

a steering committee which
is anxious to improve the
parking situation in the dis
trict.
The committee and in-
I corporators of the Chapel
Hill Parking Association,
Inc., after a Monday after
noon session, decided to hold
the public meeting and ex
plain in detail the purposes
of the project, what the
stock would cost, *to sell
stock, and to hold the first
* election of directors.
The corporation was form
ed to acquire, by lease or
purchase, property in close
proximity to the East
Franklin Street business dis
trict and permit customer

ggfr. Wentworth said that
shares of stock will sell for
SIOO each, and one share will
entitle the holder one vote
for each director. Seven di
rectors will compose the ini
tial board, although the
charter provides that nine
can be named.
This week a brief digest
of the corporation’s charter
and by-laws is being pre
pared for distribution so<
that any person tan learn at
a glance the reasons, hopes,
purposes, privileges, limits
tions, and operations of the

Rabbi Is Returning
From New England
Rabbi E. M. Rosenzweig of
Chapel Hill, director of the Hillel
organization in North Carolina,
his wife and daughter Judy
are returning this week from the
island of Martha’s Vineyard,
Mass., where they have spent the
summer.
While there Mr. Rosenzweig
had an exhibit of his watercolors
and drawings-in-copper at the
gallery of the Vineyard Haven
Art Guild. The exhibit drew much
attention. Special interest was
shown in the drawings-in-copper
since the artist's technique with
them is something he evolved
himself and is quite new to work
in this medium.
Mr. Rosenzweig also had an
art display at the annual Island
Fair, where he received two
awards. He won a first prize for
pis painted ’decorations made of
■bells from the beaches of the
island, and a third priz.e for a

The Town of Chapel Hill’s mail
survey of Rosemary Street resi-j

termine their attitude toward
either eliminating parking on or
widening the street is getting
considerable response, according
to Town Manager Tom Rose.
The survey was started under
date of August 22, and already a
number of replies have been re
ceived. A casual examination of
them by him and members of the
Town Board of Aldermen indi
cates that elimination of parking
is preferred immediately rather
than widening the street,
i Mr. Rose said the replies would
he tabulated and condensed in
{ time for the town board to con

' September 12.
The letter addressed to Rose

My church attendance this
year has not been perfect. I
have missed one Sunday. I
think the Lord will forgive
me, for on that day I was
suffering with shingles and
the weather was hot and
steamy. I go to the Presbyte
rian church. I was born and
raised in that denomination
and I am never completely
at home in any other kind of
church. The hymns, the or
der of the service, the ser
mons, the bond of fellowship

: Presbyterians give me a
feeling I get nowhere else.
I, One thing, though, is dif
ferent from the church of
my youth. The scripture
readings. In those days in

King James version was
used. Now in the Chapel Hill
Presbyterian church it’s the
(Revised Modem version. I
know the new version is in
many ways an improvement.
Still I like the old one better,
and I miss hearing it when
I go to church.
Maybe I wouldn’t be on

Schoolmen Will
Hold Important
Meeting Tonight
Carrboro and White Cross
school district committee
men will meet with the Or
ange County Board of Edu
cation tonight (Friday) to
seek a solution to problems
caused by students from
those areas attending Chapel
Hill schools, which are part
ly supported by a tax sup
plement within the Chapel
Hill school district. The
meeting will be held at the
old Courthouse in Hillsboro
at 8 o’clock.
In past years students
from Carrboro and White
Cross have been attending
the Chapel Hill schools with
out paying tuition or with
out taxpayers in those dis
tricts sharing part of the
burden with those of the
| Chapel Hill district. Last
week the Chapel Hill School
i Board agreed to accept them
again this year, but for this
year only. The Orange Coun
ty board, in turn, agreed to
meet with residents of White,
Cross and Carrboro to see if
the problem could be solved.
One possible solution would
be a supplement to help
support the Chapel Hill
schools.
About 40 students who
live outside the Chapel Hill
district are involved. The
Chapel Hill board earlier
had ruled tuition must be
collected for their schooling.
County Superintendent P.W.
Carr held that that would be
illegal.

Next Imnm TmMsy
’ The second dose of Salk
vaccine against poliomyelitis
will be administered to sec
ond and third grade pupils in
Chapel Hill shortly after
school convenes, probably
during the second week, it
was announced yesterday.
Dr. 0. David Garvin, dis
trict health officer, who
made the announcement,
said it was in line with a
State Board of Health letter
urging use of Salk vaccine
now in hand prior to its ex
piration date.
The letter pointed out that
the onset period has
apparently passed for this
year, that North Carolina
has had a "considerably
smaller number” of cases re
ported this year than in the
past several years, and that
there now seems to be "no
justification for further de
lay” in administering second
doses of vaccine.
Thus, they will go to sec
ond and third graders who
received the first shots as
first and second graders last
May. Discoverers of the vac
cine recommend that three
doses be administered with
in an eight month period,
the third some six months
from the second. Therefore,
it is desirable that the sec
ond he given soon so that
the third will not come too
late next spring, which
would be close to tho 1266
polio onset period.
Dr. Garvin said that the
department hopes to get
sufficient vaccine to tosU*
"lii™is«RsSSE
fore next spring.
The vaccine against polio
is supposed to immunize one
for a long period, Dr. Garvin
said. Thus, the earlier chil
dren receive it the longer
they will be immunized.
Dr. Garvin said, to his
knowledge, there had been
no unfavorable experience
with the first vaccine dose
here.
Os the nine local cases of
polio reported to his office
this summer, six involved
