When the pupils in Miss Inez Barefoot’s third grade at the Chapel Hill Elemen tal y school made a study of spiders this fall they went all-out on the subject. They read about spiders in insect books and encyclopedias, they wrote essays and sto ries about spiders, they drew pictures of spiders, they made scrap books about spi ders, they gave a program on [spiders for their parents and I pupils from the other jgrades, they listened to their teacher read E. B. White’s delightful story book about a spider named Charlotte, they gave a TV program on spiders, and they made field trips to see spiders in their natural surroundings. On a field trip to the Ar boretum they found a bonus in the form of two big furry caterpillars which they brought back and put in a glass jar in the schoolroom. The caterpillars caused great excitement by immediately beginning to spin cocoons. While the children watched, they manufactured silk and wrapped themselves in it and also drew about themselves the leaves that had been placed in the jar. Miss Barefoot had told the children to watch out for unusually large or pretty spider webs at home. When Dennis Andrews, son of Mr. land Mrs. Harry D, Andrews, reported such a web at his home on Pritchard Avenue the teacher declared another field trip.

School officials, qualified to say how and when the ifunds will be allocated to jmeet desperate needs of schools in Chapel Hill and elsewhere in the county, jwere unavailable for com ment after the allocation was announced by the State Board of Education. According to state offic ials. the funds will be al located by the county to ad ministrative units on a per pupil basis. Charles Carroll, state superintendent of pub lic instruction, said the dis tribution of the funds to counties was expected to be gin immediately. Wednesday, however, school officials here ,had not been officially noti fied of their share of the school building funds. From the first $25 mil lion of the SSO million bond issue, Orange County receiv ed $130,454 of which $64.- 878 went to Chapel Hill schools. Recently the county commis sioners authorised e school bond election for the issuance of school bonds totsling two million dol- Isrs, nesrly om million of which will go toward improving Chspel Hill’s schools.

He said plana .were being formulated now for 'a volunteer fire department. talk about it.” The restaurant is now classified as “non-con | forming” use of the property in that it la located in a resident | zoned area. Annexation of the Ridgefield development, a 20-acre area, has been turned down by the board’s ! finance committee. OwpsVs es the development contend that the town would profit from the an nexation by acquiring more prop erty which would bs subject to sd valorem taxes. At Issat $250,- 000 would bs added to the total property evaluation for tax pur poses, they say. | Town Manager Thornes Ross, however, has said the undevelop ed eras Is too far from the town limits to give it adequate police, fire end garbage collection ser vices. | Under the proposed annexation, the town would not pay for newer lines in the area until tha prop erty valuation reaches |SIO,OQO. ,Tben the town would pay the owners n maximum of |l|,ooo for thq lines.
