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. The
special county school bond issue
election, which is entirely sep
arate from the annexation elec
tion, will take place on March
27, though votersfcwill be asked

in as of noon Saturday,
Chapter Chairman J. Temple
Gobbet reported yeaterelay

J v
’typC Gobbel said that as
of Saturday $3,566 had actu
ally been turned in against
the $9,184 goal, hut that
only a few volunteer work

Therefore, he and Cam

persons who had not been
reached might make their
contributions. The campaign
office in the showrooms of
Crowell Little Motor Co. was
closed yesterday, however.
Collections and late con

Mr. Gobbel said, “We are
confident that the iieople in
Chapel Hill and Carrboro are
going to see that our quota
is reached. We have never
failed to meet or exceed our
Red Cross goal. If anyone
lias not been approached by
a volunteer worker and
wjshes to make a contribu
tion or wishes to increase
his contribution, he may do,
so by mailing his check to

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
