Friday, January 11, 1957 9HSH . J : - . if : * B 3 mH PUPJJjj Y-TEENS HELP—Three niemlrers of the t hapel Hill V- I'eens are shown packing kits for \olunteer workers to use in their house-to-house canvass for the Heart-Fund on February 21.

The picture was taken by Mrs. Mary Nies at the head quarters of the North Carolina Heart Association in Miller Hall on I’ittsboro Street. * School Board Gets Integration Statement A statement about school in tegration was presented at Mon day riig ht’<■ meeting of the < 'hapel Hill School Bohid by the Chapel Hill Interracial Fellowship foi the Schools, it was accompa nied by a letter from the .Rev David Yates ami Sam Boyd, co chairmen of the fellowship, and was prepared by a committee composed of John Alexander, Dr. Walter Hollander Jr., D A Okun, C. F. Williams, and Dr. Aiwm 1’ Hiatt. Jhe statement follow Since the school amendment vote of September 8, 1956, this in ganizatiun has given careful consideration to what should la the rutn-e of action in -Chapel Hill in view of the 57'< vote against the amendment to make legal the Pearsall Committee proposals. an<l in light of con ditions and sentiments here as we interpret them. \\ e are concerned about the unsettled public issue which leaves citizens and officials con tused, divided and mostly silent on this question, as well as the needs and rights of those who may seek school reassignment. Open discussion and clear de cision are needed. Our re-examination of the whole situation growing from the .Supreme Court decision outlaw ing school segregation, as con ditioned in our community by the local Pearsall vote and the now legal fact of the local op tion provisions on this issue, leads us to the following assump tions : ™l. This community would not vote to dose its schools. 2. The Supreme Court will not change its decision, 2. There is compelling evidence of the liklihood of more rather than less court pressure toward school desegregation. 4 There may be legal and legit i mate requests from local Neg roes, though likely few at the outset, for school reassignment', beginning with the next school year. 5. Chapel Hill people want to avoid confusion, disturbance of community peace and disrup tion of schooling which can be avoided with foresight and plan ning; they would prefer to act from deliberation, planning and local decision rather than under pressure of court order. 6 1 hat • df Schools run he. realized by planning based on pres ent knowledge and realistic ex pectations; such planning is dif ficult as long us local policy on desegregation is unsettled. 7. Few communities of this size have so many local citizens pro fessionally qualified for leader ship in public education. We ask the School Board to request its Advisory Committee to chart a course of action for t hapel Hilljisthat can serve as * our own response to the local option given us by the now legal Pearsall Plan. The course to he followed should lie based on answers to the following questions: J.

This might in volve actual visits to such places | We have noted that in the , 1 areas where desegregation has 1 been successful, courageous pro-J j Sessional school leaders, hacked! . ihy a firm and informed school ,|board, have led the way.

I _ Home Buyers Faced By New Problems ■ If 1957 is your year to buy a! house, you wiii face problems! that have not bothered jhave bought homes in previous! (years, according to the editors of (i Changing Times, the Kiplinger 'Magazine. • The key problem is financing. Houses are built and bought with borrowed money, and there is a (serious shortage of money to borrow. Result: You may have 1 trouble getting a loan. And even ' if you do qualify for a loan, you are likely to pay a stiff interest rate. Nowadays 5 per cent is , a low figure, and rates of 6Vi to I 6 per cent are not uncommon. Nor will house prices drop in I 1967. On the contrary, the edi-j . tors say, all the forces at work are pushing prices upward. 1 The bright side? You’ll have a wide -choice of homes, both new and old. You can get fi nancing. if your deal is sensible and safe. Finally, older houses, built when costs were lower, may be excellent buys. So don’t limit your thinking to new houses with so many good deals around in established neighborhoods. Riggsbee Builds Pond H. (I.
