CHAFF
- By Joe Jones
When Francis J. McNary
«' 502 CooMdge Street was in
eat Hartford, Conn., last
month on a visit to his bro
ther, John T. McNary, he
thought it would be nice to
give Joihn a new pair of shoes
for Christmas.
The two of them went
downtown to the Shoe Box
on Christmas Eve and John
selected the shoes he wanted.
In payment, Francis wrote
a check on a Chlapel Hill
bank. The salesman balked
at taking it.
What might have been an
awkward situation was
averted When, at that mo
ment, a mian stepped up and
(introduced himself as Rich
ard H. Kenny, owner of the
Store. He tore up the sales
slip and said the shoes were
on the house.
The brothers McNary
were sorely puzzled till Mr.
«enny explainwl that it was
tradition of his store to
give the last customer on
Christmas Eve whatever he
wanted. “It’s closing time
and you’re the last custom
ers,” Mr. Kenny said. “The
shoes are yours, along with
our best wishes for a merry
Christmas.”

The board also was asked “to adopt a plan which

DISCUSSION CKOUP—Shown in
action is one of the groups discussing
the evil* of smoking, drinking nn<l
recklessness at a meeting of the Uni
versity Church’s Intermediate Youth
Fellowship. The discussions are being
led by UNC campus leaders. The lead-
desegregation proposal submit
ted to the school board earlier
this month by the local Quaker
group
The statement on integration
was adopted unanimously by
the Citizens' Committee last
week and has been forwarded
to the Hoard of Education.
Noting that there are several
integration plans before the
school board now, the Citizens'
Committee did not specifically
recommend any plan by name
Bui its reference to 'a plan
which does not place the bur
den for desegregation on in
dividual citizens" follows the
same reasoning outlined by the
Chapel Hill Meeting of the Reli
gious Society of Friends when
the Quaker group presented its
proposal lo the school hoard Jan
4
Based somewhat on the “Nash
ville Plan," the (junker proposal
asked the board to divide the
school attendance area into five
geographic districts, each to
serve one elementary school
All first-grade students, re
garding of race, would then be
assigned to the school in their
particular district with provision
that both white and Negro chil
dren could request reassignment
il they desire
The Board of Education agreed
last year to begin limited integra
tion at the firstjgradc level next
fall, providing geographic as
signment upon request lor
Negro children.
When the Quaker proposal was
submitted, !> I) Carroll, who
represented the Friends Society,
explained that ll would remove
the onus of requesting reassign
ment from Negro families and
would assure equal treatment (or
both races.
The Quaker proposal was put
on the agenda for the hoard's
meeting. Feb 4
