“In addition, the group made
plans for a new means of re
questing equality of treatment.
This method, suggested by rep
resentatives of the United Church

would involve a number of pri

An Expert’s Advice
On Scuppernongs
By M. E. GARDNER
A reader writes about her Scup
pernong vine: “I have a large
flourishing Scuppernong grape
vine, about 20 years old, I would
say. Every year there are a
few grapes on it but they never
mature, just drop off.”
All of the older Muscadine va
rieties Scuppernong, James,
Thomas, Mish and others are
self-unfruitful when planted alone
and cross-unfruitful when plant
ed together. They have normal
pistils i female parts but their
stamens (male parts' produce no
pollen to fertilize the pistils.
Time was when there were
enough wild male vines in the
woods and forests to supply pol
len for fertilization but this sup
ply can no longer be depended
upon because most of the wild
vines have been destroyed due to
extensive timber operations.
By controlled breeding, varie
ties have been developed which
are self-fruitful, and cross-fruit
ful with other Muscadine varie
ties such as Scuppernong. Two
of these varieties are Burgaw
and Dearing.
This reader can overcome her
non-fruiting problem on Scupper
nong by planting either Burgaw
or Dearing, or both, nearby. She,
of course, will have to wait until
the young plants bloom before
her problem is solved.
The Scuppernong Ls still one of
the most popular varieties of the
Muscadine family. If you are
planning to set plants of this va
riety this fall, be sure to provide
for pollination by also planting
either Burgaw or Dearing.
Remember, too, that vines
should be pruned and fertilized
every year regardless of wheth
er or not they are trained on up
right wire trellis, overhead wire
trellis or on an arbor.

ASK FOR DURHAM
WX2OOO, BERNSON
We should be growing more
Muscadines in eastern Carolina
for jams, jellies, preserves and
unfermented grape juice. As I
have suggested before, there
should be a good demand on the
local level and for sale to tour
ists through gift shops and trad
ing posts in western Carolina.

problem. So we don’t say these
are the lour hundred most talent
ed students in the State. We say
these are four hundred of the
most talented. There are some
just as talented or more talented
we missed, for one reason or an
other—the Information submitted
was incomplete, or something.
And there was the boy-girl dorm

space for girls than for boys, and
so there might wen bp some
boys around who are more tal

missed. '
“Each of them was nominated
for one particular area. We have
eleven major areas, five acad
emic and six in the performing
arts. The academic areas are
all the ones you would expect,
math, natural sciences, sod&l sci
ences, language, and English. The
performing arts areas are or
chestra, piano, ballet, drama,
chorus, and pointing.
“We gave no grades, and no
credit, and there wasn’t any
homework as such, though there
was research, and reading, rad
independent study of one thing or
another. The idea is to give them
something that they wouldn’t get
in a normal school situation, but
you can see that in languages,
for instance, we discovered that
ninety per cent of them were tak
ing French, so we decided on
French at the school. Some of
what they get at the school they
wiU get when they go back to
their high schools, but we did
give them advanced pronuncia
tion and grammar, and they
spent an hour a day on the struc
ture of language, which is a new
idea people say we ought to be
using instead of grammar and so
on. It’s the structure of all lan
guages, English, French, Russian,
whatever. And they also speak
the languages in class and among
themselves.
“In math they studied mathe
matical logic and probability.

they’re needed, they can’t take
off in the middle of something
and go home to eat, so it’s been
expensive to them. Eating out
every day is right much of a
bite out of a patrolman's pay."
Chief ißlake said the current
truce on demonstrations called
by the Chapel Hill Committee
for Open Business has been a
great help to the department.
“They believe something will be
done for them in the form of a
bonus," Chief Blake said.
Mr. Peck said he was not sure
why the Aldermen had takes no
action on his recommended bon
us. Possible reasons: the Town
will not know whether it has the
money for a bonus until it gets
its tax valuation from the county
Commissioners some time in
August. Or the Aldermen may be
waiting to see if the current Chap
el Hill racial situation is re
solved in the near future. If it
is not, Mr. Peck said, the Al
dermen may find it more ex
pedient to put money into en
larging the police force rather
than paying policemen a bonus.
“I imagine the Aldermen will
wait for a while to see what
happens,’’ Mr. Peek said.
"1 think the men would like
a bonus rather than compensa
tory time,’’ said thief Blake.
"Overtime is common to them.
Sometimes they’ll work three or
four extra hours when some
thing comes up, and they won’t
kick about it. 'But they’rs not
used to this unusual amount of
overtime." .
Chief Blake said he thought
Chapel Hill’s policemen deserv
ed praised for their work during
the current racial situation here.
“I think they ought to be com
mended —1 have commended
each one myself —for their
sense of duty. 1 think I’m lucky
and the public's lucky to have
that type of man.”

“And we had speakers, Luther

P. Graham, and we had perform

something going on at night.
“Wanad thirty Negroes, and
they worked out all right. We
had One Negro teacher. They all
mixed together freely, and there
weren’t any problems. You might
not have had this situation in a
lower intellectual group, but it
worked out fine.
“We had thirty - one teachers.
Molt of them the five members
of the executive board knew per
sonally or we’d see something in
the papers about a teacher win
ning the Cardinal Award for sci
ence, and we’d ask him, or her,
if they'd be interested. We didn't
just send out a broadside asking
anybody to apply. The teachers
were forced to use a variety of
methods in their classes, because
in a normal School situation the
teacher , can do all the talking for
fifty-five minutes, but when the
claps is three hours long if the
teacher does all toe talking he
has laryngitis at the end of the
class. So he has to use other
mothddp. Same |f these methods
they fcnay be able to use when
they get back to their schools. We
had teeehers from 14 different
states, though most of them came
f*om the public schools of North
Cardiha.

Teriftan gave his one thousand
geniuses at age torty-one in Cali
fornia, you know, he chose a
thousand geniuses when they
were young, and then followed
them up and tested than again
when they were 41 years old to
find out how they had developed.
We gave them a whole battery of
tofts. The school has raised
some questions we haven’t yet
answered. For instance, when
these children go back to their
schools, they haven't been getting
grades, we want to know what
happens when they get back into
a situation where they have to
make grades. The Negroes have
been completely Integrated, and
we want to know what happens
when they get hack to segregated
schools. This has been a superior
school.-and we want to know
what happens to all of them when
they get back to a normal school
situation.
“There were some people who
told us that if we took these kids
h) here next year we’d have to
buy them new hats, because we’d
tell them, ‘You’re gifted' and
their heads would swell up. But
it han’t worked (hat way. They
have a song, a spoof song, called
'We is Gifted.’ I don’t know how
the words go, but also on their
stationery some of them had let
terheads printed saying ‘The Gov
ernor’s School,’ but others had
letterheads saying, ’I Is Gifted,’
so they’re looking at it realistic
ally.

and one thing they say is that
the school is a humbling experi

school, I was the one. Now Fm

back later, but they learned that
when you talk about justice for
two weeks there may not be
answers. They may not come
out knowing what justice is, ii

“For a lot of them this was
their first experience in dormi
tory living, and they all seem tjo
agree that being able to sit dowji
in a free situation and talk things
over is valuable—you know, tne
usual thing, bull sessions, anil
that kind df thing. We tried ndt
to make it a pressure situatich
from the word go. We didn’t hav(e
breakfast until eight o’clock, and
classes started at nine. There
weren’t any grades or homework,
so the idea was to stimulate them
just through the process of leari
ing. I'm sure some of them used
it as a vacation, but only a few.
We kept them there on the canj
pus, except for the Fourth of
Ally, when we sent them a|l
home. At the end of the four day®
oft for the Fourth of July, wp
waited to see how many woulfl
come back, and four hundred
came back. We were going 13
keep them there on the eampu i
the whole eight weeks, but littl i
things came up. Like, some tim :
during eight weeks you have t)
have a haircut, so after a while
we let them go downtown on Sa -
urday afternoons to buy the littl :
trinkets, get a haircut, whatevei.
“One thing we found was that
four hundred gifted children a l
in one place look no different tha ft
four hundred ordinary high schoi 1
students. They drink Cokes ani
milkshakes, we had about fift r
athletes who are conditionin 5
themselves so that when they g >
back for football they will hav;
