He has even relished the vicari ous association of having the name of the first-mentioned char acter in Charles Dickens' “A Christmas Carol.” As it turns out, Jacob Marley was a sort of hero in the famous story, because his visit convinced Scrooge that he had better get the Christmas spirit of giving. Tie firm of Scrooge and Mar ley was broken up by Marley’s death, and Dickens wrote that there was no doubt about it, “Marley was as dead as a door nail.” -'I--..

It feels that late last spring and summer it exhausted its means of easing racial tensions: Through its ef forts the Town has taken an of ficial anti-discrimination posi tion. Negotiation has brought about toe desegregation of many establishments. Despite great ef forts by many people at negotia tion, a certain number of segre gated eating places persist as ir ritants to toe Negro comumity. To effect the total desegregation to which the Town has subscribed, the Committee recommended to the Board of Aldermen the enactment of a public accommo dations ordinance. The proposed ordinance was defeated by a 4-2 vote. “Here matters rested on the subject of open restaurants (al though this Committee and other groups were working on other as pects of race relations) until the arrests of Friday, December 13. The CMnmittee cannot condone violation of the law. It feels that these current activities “are being directed by a leadership which lacks judgment. Moved by the ardor of youth, it has not shown accurate assessment of the local situation or perception of the anarchic implications of its ac tions. The Committee has strongly All interested persons are in vited to attend. In announcing the meeting, the Council said, “There seems to be much confusion In the minds of many Chapel Hill residents as to what is happening on the racial front. The Inter-Church Council thinks a group of citizens repre senting the.respective agencies of Chapel Hill should meet to ans wer questions as to what they think is really going on.” |Weather Report | Cloudy and mild tomorrow.

It will be the first bowl game for the Tar Heels since a loss, to Rice in the Cotton Bowl on New Year’s Day, 1549! The Tar Heels wound up 8-2 record, and not since the Carolina come up . with a ball moving machine the fkes of last fall’s edition. With quarterbacks Junior Edge and Gary Rlaok passing and halfback Ken Willard running, the Tar Heels led the Atlantic Coast Conference with an average of 341 4 yards per game. Edge, whom head Coach Jim Hickey calls the most underrated quarterback in the nation, is the conference's leading gainer, picking up 1.103 in the air (.525 completion percentage) and 250 yards on the ground. The 205- pound senior has been the team’s mainstay ail year. He has been particularly ef fective in throwing to end Bob Lacey, a combination that has caused defensive specialists more than a little worry. Although the Edge-to-Lacey combination has been the most successful, Edge has a wealth of other good receivers. There are ends John Hammett, Joe Robin son and John Atherton and half backs Ron Tuthill, Frank Bow man and Ronnie Jackson, all capable receivers. During part of the season, Hickey seemed to handpick a particular end or half back to bear the brunt of pass receiving. Not only do the Tar Heels have multiple receivers, but second string quarterback Gary Black has completed .555 per cent of his passes for a total of 442 yards. He is an accurate thrqwer, but can't heave the ball as far as Edge. However, the 180-pound, six-footer is a better runner than Edge and likes to keep the baiL Edge led Carolina to an 8-2 (Continued on Page 2) the regular season with an days of Charlie Justice had Community Chest Survey Is Planned The Community Council will make a survey of about 400 resi dents who did not contribute to this year’s Community Chest drive in an attempt to locate reasons for the drive’s stalling al most 15 per cent short of its $43,000 goal. The survey was planned at a theeting of the Council last Sat urday morning. Council members said they will attempt to deter mine whether those surveyed were solicited during the Chest’s regular drive, and if so, why they failed to contribute. Approxi mately 600 fewer donors contribut ed to this year's drive than last year, Drive Chairman Sandy Mc- Clamroch reported. The survey will attempt to pro vide information which will nuke the drive more enthusiastic ally received, and if possible to midg» the Chest total a bit closer to 100 per cent of Its goal. The drive at its last aqg#it ing stood at 86.2 per cent of the $43,000 set by the Council as this year's goal. The 1963 drive included only token support for the Town’s recreation program, now support ed mainly by a special recreation tax approved in referendum last May. Mr. McClamroch said that ad verse public reaction to the 1963 drive had been encountered main ly in Carrboro and in the Ne gro community, possibly as a con sequence of tiie Recreation tax passage. Unless the goal Ls reached, all agencies supported by the Chest will receive across-the-board cuts of 13.8 per cent. Council members have said that the drive's failure indicates the need for new publicity techniques and methods of promotion to in sure that the Town’s total quota is reached. Contributions are still trickling in, but at their present rate would not be sufficient to fill the quota, Mr. McClamroch said. One division, the Town’s busi nesses was re-canvassed in an attempt to raise its percentage from 75 per cent of quota to M per cent. This would give the drive 90 per cent overall.
