Reaction to Gray’s acceptance speech at Raleigh Tuesday was favorable on all corners and feel ing was general that the new pre sidents “not welcome” sign* to Communists was very much in or der in a community often roundly criticized in other parts of the state because its tradition of aca demic freedom often has attracted a few party-line followers to its bounds. (•— Monday two- convocations ware held here in Memorial Hall in connection with the inaugural, Monday night there was a recep tion and shows at the Planetarium for visitors ar.d generally the at mosphere of a traditional Uni versity reunion pervaded the place. President James L. Morrill of the University of Minnesota, Pre sident Lee Alvin DuBridge of the California Institute of Technology and President George D. Stoddard of .the University "of Illinois de livered the addresses which high lighted the Day, and a number of national and state leaders were on hand to pay tribute to the 41-year o 1 d Winston-Salem millionaire publisher, lawyer and Statesman taking over the reins of the Great er Consolidated University,. In his address at Raleigh, the keynote at least in the eyes of the daily press was the attack on Communism. Gray’s words struck home with clarity and forceTiir this connection when he said: “We shall not provide asylums for those who Would extinguish the lights of liberty. Indeed, Communists are not welcome at any of our three institutions. Wc shall not knbw-^ iiigly allow imy campus'tg become a workshop, or laboratory, or training ground for the operations of those who - are. committed to the destrfletion of American cul tures. and. insfituatioha*”. - Most spontaneous reaction came when, he paid tribute to his pre decessor Prank P.

I' The “no parking" regulation will he in force from JJ a. m. lo 2 p. m. each day to alleviate the traffic tieup caused thereby parents com ing after their youngsters who at tend kindergarten and first grade in the church building. Since the parking places along the street are always tilled, the parents double park to pick up their children, thereby tiedng up traffic intersection of Franklin ‘ and Co lumbia for some time. The new parking regulations are designed to allow space for the parents and to protect the children from the traffic hazards. The Alderman also approved the appointment of a new policeman; Herman L. Stone, who replaces W. E. Clarke, now employed by Pacific Mills in Carrboto. Stone his served previously on the force for a few months. A petition from the Negro Civic Club was heard by the Aldermen and its various proposals have been taken under advisement. The Negroes asked for sidewalks on Graham and Church streets, traf fls lights at the intersection of Church and Rosemary and Gra ham and Franklin Streets, sewer pipes in the open ditched extend ing from Rosemary St. ^nd along Mitchell Lane, and enforcement of proper parking of autos on Church St, They* also asked for a school attendance officer, which matter was referred to tig; school-board. A report from the town mana ger, Tom Rose, revealed that pro posed hard surfacing of certain streets in the town will probably be completed by the middle of [November. The streets to be re surface:! include South Graham, J^et’Mn.

Often they knew the parents were unable to pay the bills. He said that this type of cover age will Relieve that kind of situ ation greatly and will assure every child attending school in Orange County adequate, medical attention in caae any accident occurs to him in connection with any of his school life, ft has been th* desire for many years among both teach ers and parents according to Profflt that some plan of coverage might $$ found which would provide such financial- assistance in pay ment of medical or hospital ex penses that might corne as a result of such injuries. ; \ Since the cost of a< surance is higher than the a' family feels that it can I very few children have the ; fit of such coverage he skid. However, through this n Group School Child Accident each child will contribute $1 per year, then all students of the school unit will be adequately pro vided with accident coverage dur ing the school day, ProffVt revealed. The plan was discussed with a number of parents, all of whom were. enthusiastic in their praise. The School Board approved, so the superintendent acted. At a retent meeting of the prin cipals, it was decided, with the, assistance of the parents, to under take this program of protection for school children. The Superintendent explained that the coverage of the policy 1 gees into force one hour hefore ! school takes itl and pays for any (injury sustained while: 1.,Enroute from heme to school. The student, can be walking or. riding. 2. Any injury s\»t -lined w**!le "y&tVjni » school building or on the school grounds. 3. Any injury, sustained entou'e from school do home. Although the coverage of the policy,, ettds one hour after the [student is dismissed - from school, ■special provisions are made for "athletics.

Also, the athlete | is protected while traveling jis a ; member of an athletic team to and from games. —~[ ; i Occasionally older students take a.school sponsored trip to Qr from some point of educational interest, such as the State Capitol, in a school bus or a chartered bus, j the Superintendent explains that J even this is included in the policy i protection. j The policy provide* payment tor 'loss of life of $1,000; low of two ltmgs or sight of both eyes, or one limband stght of one eye, $5,000. 00; loss of either hand or foot, $2,050.00; and loss of sight of either eye, $1,000.00, A $1,000,00 Medical Expense is aUowed to pay all medical and | dental expense up to $1,000.00, in cluding such things as bills from the doctor, hospital, surgeon, nurse, etc. and fees for such things 'a? anaesthetics, X-rays, operating room, laibortatory supplies, etc. The medical expense payments are [made in addition, to the amounts j paid for loss of life, dismember ment, or loss of sight. | This policy was written through | the offi ce of John P.

The proceeds will fa to wafde the hiMing fund. xxiusooro — me county Com missioners put on their own version of “The Search" here yesterday and came up with enough p^twntui funds to begin the alleviation of what the School Board termed the county's most urgent school pro blem. \ And, doing so, they voted to ac cept the low bids for the construc tion of the proposed eight class room and lunchroom addition to the Central Negro School .at Hills boro, and re-affirmed their; deter mini nation to follow through with the promises made to the people of the various sections of the coun ty during last year's school im provement bond issoe campaign. Last week, the Commissioners took under advisement at the !«**___ gestkm of the Board of Education a proposal to eliminate the plan ned Efland Negro School from the building program and use the $74, 000 set up under the bond proposal to build additional roams at Hills boro to take care of children which would come under the consolida tion at Eflaad and apply die re mainder to the Cedar Grove school, now in the planning stages. \ . Monday night a meeting was held between school officials and committees from the Efland area and in the words of School Board Chairman Kemp Cate, "We didn’t get to first base” in trying to per suade the patrons of that area to agree to the consolidation with 1 Hillsboro. “They want th* $74,000 it’gardless of whether it will build anything but classrooms or not," he reported. The rigid requirements for lunchroom and other auxiliary facilCnes hi^t been partially ’re .sjjonslble for the inability to bring school construction costs within budgeted funds. The Hillsboro bids, taken several weeks ago totalled $29,425.90 more Sian was set up. To make up the deficit aud pave the way for ac ceptance, the commissioners voted to issue $16,000 in bonds, the limit ■which can be issued this year without a vote of the people, and called upon the Board of .Edusa ' ■’ ■ 000 out t|f this year’s Capital Out- ^ lay For Schools budget by can celling -the order for six new school busses which would not be , heeded foh this year anyway.. ^ l Before making their decision, 'the Board questioned both school j officials and Architect Archie R. Davis to see if plans for the school addition had been cut.to the bone. The additional facilities were . described as the most urgently needed of any in the county be cause of the heavy enrollment with • no room to care for them. I The Commissioners approved also with little discussion the ac ceptance of bids on the Chapel Hill High School totalling $373,484, as had been recommended by the ChapelHill and County school beards. In this project, bids were brought within the available mo ney by the elimination of the gym- ~ nasium and the acceptance of a number of alternates in matters of con ;t> uctioh and materials. J. A. Jones Company, Talley Electric Company, Lloyd and Coplan, and Ingram and Suggs were the suc cessful bidders for the general, electric, plumbing and heating contracts respectively. •: The Commissioners took under advisement the Chapel Hill Bo ard’s recommendation that the ad dition of asphalt tile floor and lockers at Lincoln High School and lockers at Chapel Hill be pro vided from current funds. The awarding of the new con tracts brought to some $610,000 the amount of school construction contracts now in force in the ' county under the improvement program. t:—~ PTA To Hear Fred Smith, Former Teacher Hillsboro .j—.
