Mr Prather told the committee Carolinas United would like very much to be included in the Com munity Chest again, as it has in past years. He explained that the organization is 'the State United Fund agency. It helps communi ties in planning and organizing fund-raising drives, and operates a state budgeting system, with state and national agencies ask ing for funds at the state level Then the requests are distributed to the community groups on a quota basis.

TTtc meeting was called lo hear citizens interested in the selec tion of an architect for the new consolidated high school, but the Board also reasserted its stand on the White Cross School, dis cussed next year’s budget and talked about employing a land scape architect. Prof. Ryan’s letter to the School Board is as follows: "A number of us here in the Chapel HIU area are concerned over possible action with regard to the White Cross School.
