TUESDAY ISSUE ' Next tone Friday Vol. 32, No. 46 Rev. John Ensign Accepting Call to Presbytery in Va. The Rev. John Ensign, pastor Os New Hope and Ef land Presbyterian Churches the past eight years, has a call to East Han over Presbytery in the Rich mond-Petersburg area. He will begin his network around September 1 and will face a challenge com parable to that he had in Orange County. The East Hanover Pres bytery has embarked on a vast building program, in cluding a camp akin to Camp New Hope which Mr. Ensign developed and directed in Orange. Jn addition, New Hope Church has recently observ ed its 200th anniversary with dedication of a new church and manse, and Ef land Church soon will begin an improvement program.

Summerlin Tells Family About Disturbed + Conditions in Argentina Before Rebellion Just a few hours before Sam Summerlin’s Associated Press dispatch telling of the new rebel lion in Argentina appeared in Monday’s newspapers his par ents here, Mr. and Mrs. Irl Sum merlin, got a letter from him telling of the disturbed condi tions in Buenos Aires. The air mailed letter was written Sat urday, June 2; the rebellion oc curred Saturday, June 9. in the revolution that over threw Peron a year ago Sam was on the street close to where bul lets were flying around; so, nat urally, the Summerlin family here is made uneasy by news of violence in Argentina. But the latest dispatches, which tell of the prompt crushing of the rebel . lion by government troops, give ** assurance that Americans in Buenos Aires, even newspaper correspondents who seek out places ' where excitement runs highest, are not in danger. Winter is now beginning in Argentina and the letter Sam wrote on the second day of June says: “Cold rain is splattering outside.” Later in the letter ha says: f “This has been a moat hectic Fathers Limber up Casting Arms to go Fishing The first group of five “Fathers of the Vear" limber up their casting arms preparatory to a deep sea fishing trip this summer as guests of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Merchants Asso ciation.

Fire District Poses a Legal Question The Town of Chapel Hill is awaiting a report from the State Fire Rating Bureau, an engineer of which spent week here, before going further into discus sions with the Greater Chape l Hill Fire District on purchase of its truck and protecting its area which was not annexed recently. A number of factors enter the picture; The town now has a temporary arrangement with the fire district to store its truck, respond to calls in the district, and share expenses of combating fires in the district. When residents of the district created it, they also approved a tax levy up 10c per SIOO valua tion. Tax bills with that levy have been prepared and are ready! for mailing. However, part of the district now is within the town and entitled to protection without that assessment. Should Grange County collect the tax? If so what should it do with the mlfney? Can it legal ly instruct the tax collector not to collect from those residents now in town? Kesidents of the district do not in town, whom we had to take care of and file stories for. I haven’t gotten home to dinner until after 10 p.m. a night this week. Cynthia says I take the trials and tribulations of being boss too hard. Maybe in time I’ll learn to take all these things in stride. One has to learn somehow and I suppose the hard way is the best. “This has been a turbulent year here. 1 landed in the job of boss just when the whole world of Argentina was turning itself inside out, with all the resultant problems of economic, political, social, and cultural readjust ment. “We have had to wrestle with such financial affairs as the de valuation of the peso, the re shuffling of import and export controls, a whole set of new ex change regulations, soaring newspaper costs, political bick erings and such, aside from day to-day news events. Today, for example, the value of the dollar in relation to the peso skidded from SB to 31.60, then picked up to 33 before bank closing. All that means hundreds of pesos tfHHUWUihIUI The Chapel Hill Weekly 6 Cents a Copy as many Merchants Association stores as they choose.

On her way to the War rens’ she detoured with Happy and stopped at the Vine hospital. When she opened the car door Happy shot out and far away. She called and called. Behind the hospital is a deep ravine, a rank jungle of tangled vines and shrubs, and she thought he might be there. She call ed and called, but there was no answer. She telephoned her hosts the reason for her delay and Mrs. Warren and Stafford hurried out to the hospital and added their calls to hers. Still no answer. They came home and ate dinner. The grieving guest had little ap petite. Again the company went’out to the hospital and again they shouted loud and long, all in vain. The next-morning at five o’clock Mrs. I'rince went back.

Technologists. ; At Chicago Med Meeting > Dr. Robert A. Ross of the Uni i versity Medical School ia attend -1 ing a five-day meeting in Chicago - o£ the Section on Obstetrica and TUESDAY ISSUE Next Issue Friday > by Charlie Johnson Needs and problems of Chapel Hill were surveyed in a panei discussion on town government at the meeting of the Junior Chamber of ; Commerce at the Carolina Inn Thursday night. Major points brought out were the town's money prob lems, the “hand to mouth’’ budget, proposed building of another fire station, traffic problem, and development of the newly annexed areas. Major 0. K. Cornwell and Town Manager Tom D. Rose were panel speakers and Jake Wicker of the Institute of Government was modera tor. Mayor Cornwell said I Chapel Hill is unique. Its biggest problem i 3 money because so l much property In the town is ! owned by the state and does not yield income, he said. Yet the 'town has a nominal tax rate, and a “hand to mouth” budget with little room for expansion and planning in the future, he said, adding that a new fire station would have to be built soon to take care of the recently annexed areas. Town Manager Rose said they hoped to build the new station somewhere near the new Insti tute of Government building. Construction of the new station would cost approximately $40,- 000, and the funds would come from a contemplated bond issue of $300,000 to take care of that and for other major town im provements. Concerning the traffic problem. Mayor Cornwell said, the town does the best job it can. No in come is derived from car proper ty tax from students at the Uni versity. The students pay this tax in their home town, but yet Chapel Hjll must Handle the problem of too many ears. Mr. Rose said 88 cents of ev ery $1 of town taxes collected are spent in Chapel Hill either for payroll ot services. Mr. Hose also said the town has just let a contract for $30,- 000 for construction of storm sewers and is about to let one . for the same amount for curbing i gutters. The town’s biggest problem now, he added, is asorption of the newly annexed area. He said the town would have to furnish the new area it’s entitled services before revenue will come from it. In regard to fire protection, the town can handle any area with the new truck it has, but a 1 new fire sation would enable trucks to get to certain areas more quickly. New hydrants are being installed on Country Club Road, and garbage collection has already been started in the new area. A question concerning the | town’s buying the public utilities from the University was brought Out. Mr. Rose said this would he quite a problem and would prob ubly run into several million dol lars. He said this would entail cutting the University from the power and water systems. It has been estimated this alone would post $200,000. At the present, the University owns these two sys ems, and the town owns the sewer system.
