viewing Mr. Trembley’s career,
Dr. Bibb said, “In the consider
ed judgment of the Orange Dis
trict Committee of the Boy
Scouts of America, Mr. Tremb
ley has by his devotion and lead
ership made a unique contribu
tion to boys and to Boy Scouting
in our Dtstrict.
“Mr. Trembley came to Chapel
Hill in August 1955 from Hender
sonville, where he had organized
a troop in 1947. Here he organiz

by the Congregational Christian
Church and now sponsored by
WCHL Radio, and has been its

years has become aware of the
energy, imagination, self-reliance
and downright competence of
this splendid troop. Its Scout

Board To Hold Special Meet
The Chapel Hill School Board
will hold a special session tomor
row night at 7.30 in the Super
intendent’s office. The object of
the Board’s concern: school
buildings.
The West Franklin Street
property, put up for auction last
week, brought not a single bid.
The Board had counted on at
least two interested parties bid
ding on the property. Without
any bids, the Board was left in
a quandary as to whether it
could negotiate the sale of the
school privately.
J. Q. attorney for
the Board, informed Board
chairman Grey Culbreth Friday
of his opinion of the possibility
of a private sale of the property.
"Undhr tie circumstances, I
would hesitate to advise that the
property can now Be negotiated
at a private sale,” said Mr. Le-
Grand. He quoted State statute
115-126, which says that a school
board may privately sell school
land if previous bids for it are
found unsatisfactory. “This lang
uage clearly contemplates, in my
opinion, that a bid in some
amount is required, U question
whether an attorney, examining
the title for a subsequent pur
chase at a privately negotiated
sale, would feel that Die re
quirements of GS 115-126 with re
spect to such private sale had
been complied with."
School Superintendent Howard
Thompson said that in his view
the Board was faced with two
alternatives: ask' tie Board of
'County Commissioners for
money to build a new high
school, or enlarge the present

“If the Commissioners should
say yes, what we would do with
the present high school I don’t
know,” said Dr. Thompson. “We
can’t go on just saying ‘Let s
hold off because we may sell
the property.’ We have to decide
what to do within the next two
Board meetings.”
If the High Scßool is enlarged,
he said, the work would have
to be major. In addition to pro
viding more space, the school’s
heating system woulld Lave to
be revamped. “We would have
to give serious consideration to
better laboratories and a better
library,” and consideration would
also have to be given to renovat
ing the inside of the West
Franklin Elementary School for
high school use.
"We are still going to need a
new elementary school,” said

Mr. Culbreth. “We have to begin

Dr. Thompson described the
urgency of the school building

engaged for a leng time, and
now we have to decide about the
marriage. We have to post the
