The question then was how to break the news to Miki She quickly came up willi a serviceable plot "Mike," she said. "which would you rather do, see the elephants or have ari ice cream cone'*” In Mike's scheme of things ole phanls had never counted tor much Possibly he didn't even know what they were.

The vote tor endorsement, which was not unanimous, came alter prolonged debate. The de cision was 34-18 in favor. A spokesman (or the dub said those club members who op posed the endorsement appa rently based their opposition on' the opinion that endorsement ol fluoridation is beyond Die sphere ol civic dub activities. The Rotary Club thus becomes the third civic dub to endorse the water treatment within re cent weeks. Previous endorse ments have been given by the Kiwams Club and the Altruxa Club. « The Chapel Hill Weekly Except for the brief hassle over the two resolutions, there was a' dock-work harmony among more than 100 Democrats at the unusually long convention.

Many of these wall be purged, but it l- expected ttia! the reduction in voter lists will be offset gen erally by the new registrations. In (act the work ol clearing the books in Chapel Hill is ex liocted to be so voluminous that the Elections Hoard has delayed the purge of Carrboro precinct hooks until !%2. Saturday was dot nitely the heaviest day of registration in this area In the Third Precinct alone Mrs C S Logsdon reg istered 2.50 voters. For the en tire two-week period there were 385 new registrations in the Third. Heavy Negro registration was reported in both the Carrboro Precinct and Chapel Hill Pre cinct One. Henson Ray said there were about 30 Negro reg istrations—the largest number lie tias ever registered in one day The total new registration in Can boro was 178— most ol it Saturday Mrs W II Eogleman in Pro cincl One reported a total new registration ol 221-140 of whom were signed up Saturday. Al though she had no breakdown on figures, she said a good por tion ol these were Negro. There were some Itcpublican regislrations in every precinct, but apparently no more than was expected. Republicans will vote in the primary this year (or the first time in a number of years to select candidates for lieutenant governor and insur ance commissioner. In the Fifth Precinct Mrs. Lindsay Neville reported that her new registration of 378 was the largest she ever made in a primary. OF this total, 188 registered Saturday.

PUBLISHED EVERY MONDAY AND THURSDAY Chapel Hill Gains By 37.5 Per Cent A preliminary report 'of the 1960 census shows a popula tion growth of 8,199 in Orange County since 1950—most ot it apparently in the suburban areas around Chapel Hill. The report, released Friday by Elmer C>. Smith, acting district supervisor of the census in Greenslmro, gives Orange County’s-population as 42,934 —which is more than 21 per cent higher than that of 1950. Chapel Hill’s 1960 census inside the corporate limits was listed at 12,623—an increase of 3,446 or 37 5 per cent over the 1950 figure of 9,177. fun boro was given a 1960 population ol 1,998 inside the corporate limits—an increase ol 203 over the 1950 population ol 1.795 Hillsboro gained a net total of 22 new residents in the 10- year pt-riod, according to the preliminary report This year’s figure is 1,342 and Dial of 1950 was 1.320 Mr Smith explained that all figures in this area include the student population without a breakdown. They were counted along with permanent residents some in the Chapel Hill figure, others in Carrboro, according to where they live Actually the Chapel Hill figure is deceptive because il does not include around 20 residential areas which have developed out side the corporate limits- such as the area olf North Columbia Street, the Mason Farm Boad and Morgan Creek areas, Victory Village, Lake' Forest, the de velopments around the airport.
