CHAPEL HILL
CHAFF
By Louis Graves
Wallace E. Caldwell tells
me of a queer gift that his
son Robert’s family received
on their arrival in Karachi,
r Pakistan, this summer. Bob,
as all of us call him, was
transferred to the U. S. Em
bassy there from the post
that he had held with the
Embassy in Copenhagen,
Denmark. When he and his
wife and two children alight
ed from the plane at Kara
chi they were greeted by
the members of the Embas
sy staff bearing two gifts.
One was a wreath of flow
ers. Nothing queer about
that. And to anybody who
had lived in Karachi there
was nothing queer about the
other one, but it would have
seemed queer in Copenhagen
and it seems queer to peo
ple" in our part of the world.
This was a giant thermos
bottle filled with boiled
water.
Natives of Karachi have
built up an immunity which
protects them but if visit
ors from America or West
ern Europe drink unboiled
water they are apt to be
taken seriously ill and may
die. There was no doubt
about the flowers’ being the
prettier of the gifts, but the
Caldwells know from their
reading and what travelers
had told them that the
thermos was a lot more im
portant.

REGISTRATION FOR NEW SCHOOL— Parents of students who have moved into the new
Estes Hills School zone sine, the new rezoning have been registering their chldren for admittance
to the school all this week. Here the prineipal, Miss Mildred Mooneyhan (left), watches as Mrs.
Albert King of 406 Severln Street, signs up her daughter Susan (hand on table), who will enter the
second grade on Monday. Standing and waiting to sign her daughter is Mrs. Anthony Mastrey
of 36 Barclay Street. Liese, who holds her mother’s hand, will enter the first grade. The Kings
moved here from Statesville, while the Mastreys have been living in Minneapolis, Minn. Class
rooms for the new school arc scheduled to be completed by Monday, though work on other parts of
the new structure and grounds is incomplete.
Over 2800 Pupils
Registered So Far
Over 2,800 pupils had been en
rolled in the Chapel Hill schools
when this paper went to press
today and more were expected
before the week is up.
Os the 1,616 primary and ele
mentary school pupils so far en
rolled, 420 will be at the Glen
wood, 662 at the Northside, 359 at
the Estes Hills, and 175 at the
West Franklin Street Elementary
Schools.
Linclon High School had 406
registereo and the Chapel Hill
High School had about 525. The
Chapel Hill Junior High School
which this vear will include only
the seventh and eighth grades had
280 registered.
Because some of the White
Cross pupils had not been register
ed and a few people with school
aged children will be moving to
the community before the Univer
sity opens for the fall season, the
final enrollment will be slightly
higher than the above figures in
dicate.
The Carrboro Elementary School
had an enrollment of 475 by noon
today.

High School Football Team Will Open
Season Friday Night Against Southern
By Paul Houston ,
Chapel Hill High School's 1958
football edition plunges into at'- 1
|lion tomorrow (Friday) night at
Durham High School I
Game time will be 8 p.m. for the
season opener.
Coach Culton, now in his fourth
year at the Wildcat helm, forecasts
a tight game but says his charges
will be well-prepared.
As it stands now, Culton's main'
problem will be in selecting 11
boys to take the field for the
kickoff. He simply has a wealth
of material at every position from
which to choose.
Take halfback, for example
Here you find that Charlie Hub
bard, a senior, and Ijirry Boze
man, a sophomore, have been rip
ping defenses apart in practice
sessions. And sophomores Terry
Stapleton, Ronnie Pendergrass,
and George Cannefax have pro
gressed well, also.
At left halfback there's a bril
liant runner in Junior Dave Henry.
Speedy Don Atwater and junior
Bruce Williams have been run
ning behind him.
A battle royal is being staged
for the fullback post. Top com
petitor! are BUI Whitney and Bob <
Madry, both hard-running seniors.
Letter man fullback Wayne Yancey
cracked hie wrist to first week i
of practice and may find his posi
tion gone when he returns to ac- i
Bon in about three weeks. Don 1
Neville and Jimmy Bcjnster supply i
depth here.

Applications For Reassigment
Denied By County School Board
Tlie Orange County Board of
Education at a meeting last Tues
day in Hillsboro denied applica
tion of four Carrboro Negroes for
reassignment from the Northside
Elementary School in Chapel HUI
to the now all-white new elemen
tary school in Carrboro. It also
set 8 p.m next Monday evening
for a hearing for an appeal of
Mr and Mrs Lee Vickers whose
son, Stanley Boya Vickers, was
recently denied reassignment from
Northside to the Carrboro School.
Donnell Walden submitted writ
ten applications and appeared be
fore the Board to have his four
step-children Roger Kincaid, Sco
tie Lee Erwin Kincaid, Jessie Bei
lina Kincaid, and Rosetta Terrie
Kincaid, reassigned from the Cha
pel Hill school to the new Carr
, deadly passer and an expert hall
handler, Roy is the team's take
charge man. Halfback Henry is
! Hoy's understudy.
I I-est end will definitely be oc
cupied by Bob Karsh, a 180-pound
jer. Larsh kicks off. boots extra
points, and probably will punt. In
reserve at this position are Jimmy
Crane, Hubert FarreU, and Zan
.Smith.
I Horton Upchurch and Vernon
Davis are battling for right end.
U|>church gets down field fast and
Davis possesses a lot of determi
nation and desire. Behind these
two are Jerry Kilpatick and Joe
Trageser.
Right tackle will be filled by
co-captain Ronald Wright, rugged
all conference candidate. Bob Ho
gan and Jerry Knight are in re
serve.
Just who will be at left tackle
is uncertain. Lcttcrrnan Richard
Shambley wiU be unavailable be
cause of a back injury. Barbee
Alexander or one of three top
notch guard candidates is likely
to take over. George Spransy will
back them up.
Keith Chapin and John McNeiU
are hotly contesting the center
post. If Chapin wins, McNeill may
be shifted to guard.
BUI Akridge, Larry Crabtree,
and Don PrUlaman—all lettermen
—ora all dependable guards. Who
ever doesn’t make the starting
Uneup is still guaranteed a lengthy
appearance against Southern.
Other guards: Kearney Andrews,
Date Clark, William Heater, Date
Buckner, and BUI Goodrich.

had to walk two miles to the Cha
pel Hill school and they would
only have to walk two blocks to
the Carrboro school.”
Mr and Mrs Vickers appeared
before the Board to request a
hearing on their appeal to have
their son's assignment reconsid
ered. The Board suggested that
the healing be held late Tuesday
afternoon after the regular busi
ness of the Board had been com
pleted. Mr. Vickers said he was
unable to be there at that time
and asked whether a hearing
could he granted next Monday
night That request was granted
Because the Vickerses and the
Waldens and other children in
the neighborhood live almost two
miles from the Northside Eletnen

I'cast a vote, he said that for the
record he wanted to say that in
the light of the strong sentiment
in the county for such an election,
he. too, was for it.
Commissioner Dwight Ray of
Carrboro did not vote and later
said he did not want to participate
in bringing whiskey to the coun
ty. Commissioners Donald McDade,
Henry Walker and Donald Stan
ford voted for the motion which
read as follows:
“Whereas, it has been many!
years since the citizens of Orange
County had an opportunity to
vote on this vital issue, and it
is in the best interests of demo
cratic government to call another
such referendum,
“And whereas, the county's offi
cial governing body has been ask
ed for some indication of interest
on this matter and received peti
tions with 1,049 signatures.
"And whereas, the tax to be de
rived from the profits of the A.B.C,
system in Orange County would
greatly increase the revenue,
"And whereas, the citbwrs of
Orange County are now contribut
ing heavily to the revenue* of ad
joining counties by patronizing |
A.B.C. stores In those counties;
"And wheteas Orange Gsunty
desperately needs new sources of
revenue to meet its constantly
mounting budget expenses,
"And whereas to install the
A.B.C. system of sales and alcho
lic beverages will improve the
potentialities of tho County's law
enforcement officers in controlling
illegal liquor traffic.
"Now. therefore, be it resolved
that the County Board of Commis
sioners request the County Board
of Elections to conduct an elec
tion on the question of establish
ing A B C. stores in Orange Coun
ty .. . and that this election be
held on Februury 7, 1955) "
Last month the Chapel Hill
Weekly conducted a street survey
of the sentiment of Chapel Hillians
in regard to the establishing of
A.B.C. stores in the county and
found of 30 people questioned 22
were in favor of an election, five
were opposed to it, and two were
nut quite sure about their stand.
Commissioner Stanford, in mak
ing the original motion to have
on election, said that he was not
pleased with the 1958 59 budget
that had been approved by the
commissioners since so many vital
needs were not met by it. lie was
particularly disturbed that a gross
ly inadequate amount had been
allocated to school capital out
lay needs. It wus to meet this de
ficiency in the budget that he was
seeking means of getting new
revenue.
The petitions submitted to the
Board last Tuesday had on them
signatures of many people who
do not drink.
It has been estimated that Or
ange County residents pay between
*87,000 and SIOO,OOO in taxes
through the A.B.C. stores of
neighboring counties The esti
mates were based on surveys in
other counties of the approximate
population as that of this county.

would be effective). Should the
election not carry, the Chapel HUI
Board stipulated that White Cross
children would henceforth be ad
