FRIDAY ISSUE Next Isaac Tuesday Vol. 33 No. 66 High School Slates First Home Game This Evening The Chapel Hill high school football team will meet Dunn at 8 o’clock this (Friday) evening in the Carrboro Lions Park in its fjC* home game of the season. In their one previous game the Chapel Hill Wild cats were defeated 6-0 by Sanford last Friday at San ford. Dunn has already won one and lost one. Bob Cult on, the new Chapel Hill coach, says the Wildcats have shown a lot of spirit and drive this week on the practice field and seem to think they are go ing to beat Dunn. The team lost two mem bers this week because of injuries. End Wayne Poe broke his noes in Tuesday’s scrimmage and will be out *a week or so. Back Jimmy Freeland fractured his ankle in scrimmage and will be out for the season. Center Richard Gunter, sidelined by a virus several days ago, is expected to be able to play tonight. Coach Culton has been working the boys hard, especially on offense. He has been specializing on pass patterns and has also been setting up a stronger pass defense. Recorder’s Court Moved to Monday If you’re docketed for trial in Recorder's Court next week, don’t, show up on Tuesday. There might be repercussions. The Board of Aldermen on Monday night voted to change the convening day of the local court from Tuesday to Monday morning at 10 u.m. The change is to be permanent, unless too many conflicts arise because of the Monday date. The reason behind the switch is that statistics show Tuesday to be the day when the least number of automobile accidents occur. As a result of this fact, tlQj|state highway patrol has se lemid Tuesday as the day when most of its patrolmen will be off duty. And patrolmen are needed as witnesses for many Recorder’s Court cases. The only apparent conflict which might arise from the switch would involve lawyers who have cases to try both here and in the county Recorder’s Court in Hillsboro. However, Judge William Stewart said he believed any such conflicts could be resolved without too much trouble. Community Chest Jl Date to Be Set The dates for the annual Com munity Chest drive in Chapel Hill will be set at the next meet ing of the Community Council on September Hi, Chairman William S. Stewart said yesterday. He believed the town-wide campaign for funds for cooperat ing agencies would be held some time during the latter part of October. Meantime, sub-committees of the chest’s evaluation group are going over requests which have been submitted by agencies which pMticipule in the chest. Roy Cole, cEffiman of the evaluation com mittee, said his group would get together in about a week or ten days and make a recommenda tion for the campaign goal. Proof IJke any good businessmen, Marvin Saunders thinks his Nu- Wsy I>iy Cleaners is the best dry cleaning outfit in the world. But he said yesterday that be had some proof of that conten tion. He received an airmail letter from a lady in Japan who said she thought his compsny was the “best in the world" and abe was sending him a shipment of clothing to be cleaned and re turned to her on the other side of tko world.

Court Refuses Stay of Judgement; Negroes Will Be Admitted to UNC A special three-judge federal court yesterday refused a Uni versity request for a stay of judgement in its Saturday ruling that the University must process the applications of three Negro high school graduates from Durham without regard to their race. Acting University President J. Harris Purks and Chancellor Robert B. House immediately issued a statement saying that the Negroes had been found academically qualified, and that the University “will now proceed to admit them.” The announcement that the court had refused to stay its judgement was made by Attorney-General William B. Rodman in Raleigh at noon yesterday. Mr. Rodman said he had advised the University that it should proceed to admit the Negroes if they are educationally qualified. However, he said such an action “does not have a bearing on the appeal. We will prosecute the appeal as diligently and effectively as we possibly can." The three Negroes involved in the suit are two brothers, Leroy and Ralph Frasier, and John Brandon. The judges who handed down the decision Saturday were Circuit Judge Morris A. Soper of Baltimore, Circuit Judge Armistead M. Dobie of Char lottesville, Va., and District Judge Johnson J. Hayes of North Wilkesboro.

C., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1966 Chapel Hill Might Hire Policewomen For School Work Appointment of four po licewomen for school safety patrolling is being consider ed by the Town of Chapel Hill so that regular male members of the police force would be free for other ac tivity. Police Chief W. T. Sloan said the practice is common in a number of towns and cities. The women would be deputized and given an ap propriate uniform. In some towns they wear colorful capes. Alderman Pokey Alexan der proposed the appoint ment of the special women officers. They would serve at schools to assist children crossing the streets and to direct traffic as schools open and close five days weekly. City Manager Tom Rose was quoted as saying the town might be able to find some money to pay the women for their services. Arnold King, president of the Parent- Teacher Association, said his organization might help. Annexation Hearing Slated for Oct 24 A public hearing has been scheduled for Oct. 24 on the ques tion of whether ‘‘Ridgefield,’’ a new real estate development northeast of Chapel Hill, should be annexed as part of the town.

The ImH «f AMenaea was it cw tha Matter Monday night The finance com mittee, headed by Paul Wager, recommended that Ridgefield not be annexed, for financial reasons. Mr. Wentworth proposed that after annexation, the town pay back the developers for the sewer lines which they are installing, if and when 25 houses are built in the development with an approxi mate tax value of $250,000. The cost of the sewer system was es timated at $15,000. After the public hearing, the aldermen may vote to approve or disapprove the annexation re quest, unless u petition by 15 per cent of Chapel Hill voters is presented to demand a refer eudum on the matter.

Eddie is the adopted American first name of Minoru Osawa, young Japanese student from Tokyo who is attending high school here under the auspices of the Chapel Hill Kiwanis club. He was assigned to a senior home room, although he is not working toward a diploma. However, he hopes to get ull the information he can on American history and literature as taught in the high schools.

When I left last week for a vacation in Albany, Geor gia, I didn’t know that a movie-making outfit waa there filming "Good-Bye, My Lady,’’ the last book by James Street, beloved Chap el Hill writer who died a year ago this month. When I heard about it I went out to see what waa going on, and at the end of a dirt road in the depths of a moss draped swamp found 75 ac tors and technicians who had come all the way from Holly wood to film Street’s haunt ing story of a boy and his dog. It was a strange layout for the Georgia backwoods. The mossy water-oaks and cypresses seemed an unlike ly setting for the hardbitten Hollywoodish crew working there in a welter of wires, lights, cameras, and other equipment brought across the continent in three gigan tic trailer-trucks ranged nearby on the solid land. One figure, though, looked, right at home. It was that of j a tow-headed long-haired j boy dressed in shabby denim pants and an old dirty gray shirt streaked with dried sweat. When I first saw him he was talking with two barefooted country boys his age, about 12 or 13. The two local boys had come in from a nearby farm to talk arrow heads with the movie boy. They had brought their tro phies in an old brown paper sack, and they took them out one by one to show them to the other boy, who was properly impressed. Engross ed- in the arrowheads and otyffcioua of the milling con fusion around them, the three boys made a natural, unaffected scene hard for any movie to duplicate. The yellow-haired young ster, who was killing time while awaiting his turn be fore the cameras, was of (Continued on Page 2) Rsyrhologist Return* W.

There are said to be more than 80 persons involved with the traffic department this year. They are both sttt dents and townspeople. One of the individuals has ig nored 44 tickets, the police department said. Since word got out that court action may be institut ed, several persons have vol untarily gone to the police department and paid for their tickets. “That’s what |we would prefer they do,” said Mr. Denny. “But if they fail to, we intend to prose icute, and will do so just as soon as we get enough war rants prepared to justify service.” Plans to Be Made For UN Birthday Plans for Chapel Hill’s ob servance of the tenth anniversary of the United Nations will be dis cussed at a public meeting at 8 o’clock this (Friday) evening in the Aldermen’s room at the Town Hall, it is announced by John Riebel, chairman of Chapel Hill’s committee on United Nations Day observance.

Half-Price Grid Tickets on Sale The University athletic offices today issued information to stu dents concerning football tickets for Carolina’s games with N. C. State and South Carolina. The game with State is being played this year at Raleigh on Oct. 1. Arrangements have been made for University students to buy tickets for this game at half price. They are now on sale at Woollen Gymnasium and will be available at half price until 4:30 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 28. Stu dents must present their pass books. A very limited number of tickets huve been reserved for University students for the South Carolina-North Carolina Oyster Bowl game at Norfolk, Va., on Nov. 6. $4 a Year fat New Bans on Parking Are Being Studied The Board of Aldermen this week had under consideration im portant new parking restrictions for the village. The new bans, originally pro posed by traffic engineer W. F. Babcock, were favorably endors ed by the Planning Board and turned over to the aldermen Mon day evening* The latest proposals are: 1. Remove all parking on Rose mary street from the town limits on the west to Boundary street on the cast. 2. Remove all parking on Hills boro street between East Rose mary and East Franklin. 3. Remove parking on the east side of Henderson street and re strict parking to 10 minutes on the west side of the street be tween East Rosemary and East Franklin. 4. Remove all parking on Mai-! latte street. 5. Remove all parking within 150 feet of tha Pittsboro street- McCauley street intersection. in another phase of the park ing situation, Dean of Student Affairs Fred Weaver wrote a letter to the aldermen Monday night ia which he recommended, in line with a suggestion by the campus traffic committee, that parking ticket fine* ha increased from 91 to f 1.69. The aldermen seemed mere dis posed to consider a sliding scale such aa ia used in other Nertk Carolina oittee. * LT. Littleton a Move Mr. and Mrs. I. T.

Few Overcrowded Rooms in Local Schools; Enrollment Leveling Off at 2,771 Pupils Enrollment in the schools of Chapel Hill and Carrboro appear ed to be leveling off this week at about 2,771 students, and teach ing conditions were represented by principals as not being alarm ingly overcrowded. Certain rooms in some of the schools had more than their share of students. Others did not. But school officials were working to ward eliminating, as much as possible, such crowded condition* that did exist. With 139 more pupils than last year, Glenwood school’s first and second grades are considered so crowded by Principal Raymond Kiddoo that he has appealed to parents to consider transferring some firat graders to the Chapel Hill elementary school. The total enrollment is 375. The first grade room has 38, another 37 students; and a sec ond grade room has 38. How ever, the fourth and fifth grades have under 30 students. The average teacher load for the school would show it not over crowded, but certain rooma actually are. Approximately 100 of the new students at Glenwood this year are transfers from Chapel Hill elementary school where 605 students were enrolled. The principal, Miss Mildred Mooneyhan, reported the term progressing fairly well. The average teacher-load is almost 32 pupils for each of the 19 teachers, but she did not think any except her second grade rooms could be considered crowd ed critically. The largest number in a single room was 38 in a second grade. Three hundred ninety-seven students were enrolled at Chapel Hill high school, and the overall teacher load was said by Prin cipal Wesley Noble to be about ■tat# average with only eeveral teaching rooma terribly over crowded. However, three sections of junior English hsve 80 stu dents, and an American history class has 87 pupils. And, there are only two aenlor home rooms, with 43 and 42 students In them with seats for only 40 each.

The second course of Soflc polio vaccine shots wfll be administered to second and third graders in the Chapel Hill schools today, Dr. O. David Garvin, district health officer, announced yester day. The second course wffl be given at the Hillsboro schools next Wednesday, September 21. Last spring the shots were administered to 77.3 per cent of the pupils en rolled in the first and second grades of the Chapel Hill schools, or to 560 students, and in the county 1,154 shots were given to 73.7 per cent of the firat and second grades. “We urge all parents to take advantage of this sec ond course of shots,” Dr. Garvin said yesterday, “and we hope to get all children who had the first course last spring to take the second course tomorrow.” At the present time, Dr. Garvin said, the department does not have sufficient vac cine to begin a series to first and second graders, but “we do hope to be able to do so soon.” If, however, any vaccine is left over after the second course is administered today and next Wednesday, it will be available for children be tween the ages of five and nine years old. They may take the shots at tile district health office Thursday af ternoons. It is desirable that the shots from the current supply of vaccine be administered be for October 1, because that is the expiration date of the vaccine’s strength, he added. able.
