there were 189 different agencies,

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. She called the Po
lice Department for a po
liceman to escort the class
across Franklin Street.

ISSUE
Next sane Tuesday
’ The long awaited alloca
tion of 25 million dollars in
state school bond funds gives
Orange County, including
Chapel Hill, $204,230 for
school construction, but
when the funds will be re
ceived by the local school
'board was unknown this
iweek.
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.
The bond election, set for
Kerch, wss discussed st the

of three principal (pctors: need,
sbility to pay and local effort.
The largest single conideratien
in computing need was the over
all public school enrollment in
a county.
The Chapel Hill School Board
has estimated its needs over the
next five years as 11,016,000.
The bond issue, if approved, will
bring the town $828,098.
Fire Unit Receiving
Bids on New Truck
The Creator Chapel Hill Fire
District is now receiving bids
from manufacturers on a fire
truck, and is also looking for
a place to house the truck once
it is purchased.
E. A. Cameron, chairman of
the three-member Fire District
Commission, told the County
Commissioners on Monday that
he hoped his group would be able
to set up adequate fire protection
,in a short time. 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.
