TUESDAY ISSUE Next Issue Friday Vol. 34, No. 20 Weekly Offers SSO in Prizes For School Bond Issue Essays Who knows better than the youngsters who use them that there are many schools in Orange County with inadequate toilet facilities. These same youngsters, many of them, have inadequate lunchroom facilities and several times a day they use non-fire-resistant wood staircases. Over a thousand of them are using basements, cafeterias, libraries, auditoriums, and other substandard rooms for regular classrooms. The students know these things, much better than, their parents. The Weekly would like for the students to let the par ents know. For that reason the Weekly, in the interest of community service, is going to sponsor an essay contest. Prizes totaling SSO will be awarded to any student of the Orange County Schools and city units in Orange County. First prize will be S2O in cash, second prize sls, third $5, and 10 prizes of $1 each. All the student must do is write, in 100 words or less: "I want my parents to vote YES on the school bond issue March 27th because . . . .” Rules of the contest are simple. Entry must be in child’s own handwriting. Parents, teachers and other citizens interested in better schools for Orange County may offer suggestions and advice but the actual wilting must be done by the individual entering the contest. Essays must be mailed to the Weekly and postmarked not later than March 20.

Aldermen Plan Annexation Vote May 26 The legality of the Board of Aldermen’s intention to hold the slier ial annexation election on May 26, the same date of the state Democratic primary, was to be decided last (Monday) night at the board’s monthly meeting. Town Manager Thomas Rose said on Monday morning that the Aldermen wisher) to have both the primary and the an nexation election on the same date for several reasons:, to save money, to save organizational complications, and to get more voters to express themselves. Mr. Rose said that Town Attorney J. Q. LeGrand, after having done some legal investigation last Fri day night, reported on Saturday morning that as far as he could see so far there was nothing to prevent legally holding both elections on the same day. It was evident, from the re marks of various citizens, that the stream of elections with which the town is presently be ing deluged has confused many people as to just when each election is taking pla£e.

When I met Mrs. Bruce Strowd at the post office one afternoon last week she told n:e how happy she was that her steers had got well. Then, in response to my questions, she described her recent performance in home doctoring. Mrs. Strowd lives on a Chatham county farm about eight miles from here. Most of the work of taking care of it she does herself. Her principal interest is in her cattle—two bulls and half a dozen or so steers. She goes about in her i>a.sture, with the bulls present and close by, as casually as you or I would play with a cou ple cocker spaniels. I know this because I have seen it. Early in the morning a bout three weeks ago, with a cold rain falling, she went down to the stable on the edge of the pasture to feed the herd. Two of the steers stood with their heads held down and refused to take any notice of the food she offered. She knew this was a case of illness that might be fatal and she ran back to the house and telephoned Dr. Vine, the veterinarian, at his home. He was about to leave for his hospital. “I’ll come out right away,” he said. When he got there and examined the steers he diagnosed their case as a virus influenza and prescrib ed some sort of medicine like penicillin. How Mrs. Strowd got it down their throats she didn’t tell me, but, from the experience she had had with cattle, she knew how to do it. She had to keep on walking through weather that was cold and wet but she was too much interested in her steers to be annoyed by that. On the second day they nibbled at food. They ate more day by day and in about a week (Continued on Page 2) Daffodil Society Will Be Formed at Meeting Here Next Sunday Afternoon Amateur daffodil growers here und throughout the state, aie in vited to become charter members of the North Carolina Daffodil Society, which will be organized at a meeting to be held here at 3 p.m. Sunday, March 18, at the Church of the Holy Family (in Glen Lennox).
