An elderly woman driv ing through the University campus on Cameron Avenue had to slow down almost to a stop because some stud ents were walking in the street. When she blew her horn one of them yelled at her to go to hell. It hurt her feelings considerably. When she was telling friends about it a man in the group said, “It’s not sur prising that many young people have no respect for anybody. They’re trained not to. We had always taught our children to say ‘sir* and ‘ma’am’ to adults, but our five-year-old son has refused to do it since he started to kindergarten. He says the teacher tells the children it isn’t nice to use those words.” * * * Now that October is a bout over, it is almost time for the hunters to tackle the wild turkey situation. Game Warden Bob Logan j reports there are only a fewj turkeys left in Orange County. One of the last flocks near Chapel Hill was in the lowland fastnesses be yond the Mason farm. Its members were hunted down one by one. The final sur vivor was killed four years ago. Hunters know the approx imate location of every flock in the county, and they won’t rest as long as a single bird remains. Notj even a wild dog hunts with! the implacable determina tion of the turkey hunter. It is amazing that any keys have survived in the face of this grim zeal back ed by automatic shoguns. But the wild gobbler is smart. He understands the ' snapped twig and the sud den silence in the woods, j One thing is his undoing. The turkey call.

More Troops to Be Formed Nearly 600 Scouts-Boys, Girls, Explorers, Brownies and Cabs-Benefit From Community Chest Funds in This Area Nearly 600 girls and boys in Chapel Hill, Glen Lennox and Carrboro now belong to the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts and their younger groups, the Brownies and Cub Packs. From projected Community Chest fun'ds, additional troops for both'organizations will be posiblf. Boy Scout officials re port that 616 boys, not now Scouts, would like to join. Girl Scout officials are planning at least two new troops in Carr boro this year. No American community needs to be sold on Scouting as a gdSd influence in the lives of growing boys and girls. Boys and girls who coma up through Scout work are an asset to the community. The need is to find sponsors and leaders for mere treeps so that every hoy CHAPEL HILL, N. C. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1965 Ages 3-11 Next Local Physicians Begin Administering Salk Vaccine to Children 5 through 5 With a moderate supply of &»Ik polio vaccine on hand, Orange County physicians this week x>«g*n administering vaccinations to children of the five through nine age group. Physicians advised that family doctors be called for appoint ments for the vaccinations during the next two weeks so that the futt course of vaccinations may be given before the usual inception period begins next spring. Children in the sge group three through eleven wQI be given the vaccinations after the two week period for the initial group. Then, one month will slapse before the second shots are given and six months before the third shots. School children, it was said, who failed to receive either the second or third shots when they were given at the beginning of school this year, should take advantage of the service now being offered by the practicing physicians. Although a few Salk vaccinations have been heretofore given by private practitioners, their supplies on hand did not justify announcement that it was available through them. Now that they do have a moderate supply, they feel they will be able to accommodate the public. Too, local physicians said they were awaiting approval of the vaccine by the American Board of Pediatrics, which came about 10 days ago. The pediatrics department at Memorial Hospital and the Orange County physicians are in accord on the procedure an nounced this week. Fire Chief Boone Tells Exchangeites Added Equipment Would Save Money Fire Chief J. S. Boone inform ed the Exchange Club Tuesday night that local businessmen would save about $12,500 a year in fire insurance payments if the town fire department moves up into a higher efficiency classi fication. The saving from reduced fire insurance rates would result if the fire department moved into class six from its present class seven. However, Chief Boone pointed out that to receive the Jaycees Schedule Halloween Party The Jaycees will hold their annual Halloween party for Chap el Hill children on Monday even ing, beginning with a parade riit 6:30 from in front of the elementary school.

Costumes will lie judged by age groups—l-4, 5-9, 10-13, and 14 und over. One first prize and two runner-up awards will be made in each group.

The fiction best-seller was Frances Gray Patton’s "A Piece of Luck.” or girl who wishes to become a Scout can do so. The Girl Scouts have 10 troops with a membership of 260 girls, approximately 50 more than last year. In the younger Brownies and in the .Girl Scouts, they have many activities including arts and crafts, health and safety, home - making, international friendship, literature, and dra matics, music, dancing and games. Boy Scout units total 11, all operating under the spon sorship of churches, schools and civic clubs. Scouts have five Cub Packs, one of which is Negro; four Scout Troops, one Negro; and two Explorer Units, one of which la Negro. A total of 821 boys are cur rently members. A Jsyeee sur lower classification, the fire de partment would have to meet certain requirements. These, he said, include the purchase of an aerial ladder truck, and the employment of an additional full time fireman. The small size of the present fire department’s truck garage is preventing the purchase of the new truck, he said. The build ing would to be increased in size in order to accomodate the truck. Town Manager Thomas Rose has said that no means of'rais ing the needed funds to make an addition to the town hall are in sight. The only way the money could be raised, he said, is by a bond issue.

The re ply was that they would arrive November 21 and stay until spring. I found in my mail a letter from Mr. Eaton, written two days before I sailed for Europe August 17 and so more than two months old. He was jubilant over a heavy rain that had come pour ing down on his home at Shef field, in the Berkshiie mountains in western Massachuaets. “Connie has just departed,” he wrote, “and has left us rejoicing in a rainfall of six inches. Never was rain more needed. Our lawn —like all other lawns here—was burned brown, ferns and flowers in the garden destroyed, cucum iber vines, etc., dead. From July 4 to August 11 we not only had no jrain, not so much as a shower, but day after day the tempera tures in the shade went over 90. Twice it hit, on the north side of our house, 102. Wells and; springs got lower and lower, and| we at our house were just sac-. ing the possibility of having toj abandon the piece when Connie 1 let loose the blessed deluge upon! us.” In Europe I rend cable dis patches about the later murder ous floods in New England. “Western Masachusotts” was one place mentioned as being a flood ed area, and I wondered if the Eatons had been struck and prayed they had been in one of the fortunate dry, or relatively dry, spots. . Aa hesuGMt so after reading Lth* mid-Avgust letter 1 met the HmJhhn Kmsrys at the Inn cafe tsrM and Mrs. Emery said Ker mit Hunter had got a letter in which Mr. Eaton told of their home's having been flooded with frightful force. They live near the foot of a mountain and the water had come down upon them suddenly in angry cataracts. Mr. Eaton wrote a piece about it for a newspaper. The clipping couldn’t be found when I got home weeks later, but Mr. Hunter told me something of what was in it. Mr. Eaton wrote that he had looked out of a window and seen “the garden going by.” All outdoors that they could see was under water. All movable objects had been 1 tossed to and fro. The house stood firm but the basement wasi full of water. A highly treasured; part of the estate, namely the 1 cow, was marooned on a little spot of high ground.—L.G.

Faculty members and oth er staff personnel on the University campus favored the move by a margin of ■ better than ten to one. Out ;of 1,983 eligible voters, there were 1,809 affirmative votes, and 66 persons did not cast ballots (these count ed as 66 negative votes). The figures were reported by J. A. Williams, Univer sity elections official. C. W. Davis, superintend ent of schools for the Chap el Hill district, said local school teachers had approv ed the merger by a whop ping 16 to one margin. The vote was 80 to 5. Here is the way the in dividual schools voted, with the larger figure in . each case indicating the affirm ative vote: High school 17 to 0, Elementary School 18 to 4, Glen wood 7 to 1, Lin coln 17 to 0, and Northside 21 to 0. Under the new system, the | state and its employees con jtinue to contribute at the same rate (five per cent of salaries and wages) as in the past. However, part of this will be diverted from the retirement system to pay the federal Social Se curity tax. While workers eventually will draw a smal ler retirement from their own system, they will also receive Social Security which will more than offset the retirement decrease. Sherwin-Williams Store Opens Here Chapel Hill’s newest retail bus iness—Sherwin-Williams Paints —opened formally at 404 West Franklin Street yesterday. Manager Bob Boyce said he was well-pleased with the re ception accorded the opening, which is featuring a sale.

The drawing for the prizes will be at 5 p.m. tomorrow. In addition to paints, the at tractive store features a free color service and ceunsel on paint ing and wall papering, rentals of home equipment, and conveni ent terms. \ “Opening of a Sherwin-Wil luitns retail outlet in Chapel Hill attest* to the business potential of the community.
