Chapel Hill—The situation in re gard to the Chapel Hill Presby terian Church seems to be about where it has been for the past several months—up in the air. One thing seems to be authentic, however. The special Judicial Commission of the Presbytery has told the Rev. Charles M. Jones to quit or be fired. And, this time it has the power to enforce its demands. ' As has been reported in the daily press and as this newspaper has learned from actual experi ence, members of the commission will not comment on what oc curred at the meeting with Jones in Greensboro last Monday, in fact pledged themselves not to com ment at all pending a report “to be given at the proper time.” Jones, however, returned to Chapel Hill, advised some of the church officers of what had oc curred and they saw no reason for withholding the information from the press and public. Officers of the church say they have received no official commu nication from the commission in regard to any action taken or forth coming. No one in official position, how ever, seems to be in doubt as to the commission’s power to dis solve the pastoral relationship. And Jones reportedly said the commission advised that no fur ther negotiations had been planned with the church officers regarding the Jones matter. The direction of the church is technically--under the supervision of the commission. The judicial commission in its lengthy charges has said the pas tor and church officers did not adhere 'closely enough to the chqrch’s Confession of F? nnd the Book of Church Order and had failed to conform to church doc trine by which they’d be bound under their ordination vows . » The Orange Presbytery is com posed of 76 churches in eight coun ties, including Orange. Recently a new' Presbyterian Church has been organized in Chapel Hill.

The town board thus placed on the shelf the previously proposed zoning ordinance with which it has been struggling for over a year against bitter opposition from some citizens in the rural areas. By a vote of 4 to 2, the Aider men agreed- to ask Representative John W. Umstead to introduce the new enabling act which would re place the two acts passed in 1949 and 1951 permitting the town to zone. The area which the Town now seeks to have included in the zon ing act is a rectangular shaped area running longwise in a south westerly - northeasterly ' direction, both north and sbuth of town, and x including the new Durham-Chapel Hill boulevard. The entire area was estimated to be less than half of the previous area and would cover about one mile on each side of the highway. The major features of the pro posed legislation are two in num ber: (1) It reduces the size of the area which the town would be em powered to zone. (2) It provides for a planning board and a board of adjustment each composed of five members from inside the town and five members outside. This latter provision in effect^ would give outside members as much control over inside zoning as inside members would have over outside zoning. Matffef befship of boards would be named by the aldermen, half by the ^Board^rf County Commissioners; If approved by the legislature, the act would provide enabling power only to the town. Whether - zoning^ever would be enacted into ^ ' law is still another question. At least for the time being the zon ing proposition is a dormant issue and a complete new recommenda tion from the proposed new plan ning board will have to be forth coming before the subject is re opened. On the 4 to 2 split vote, Aider men R: B. Fitch and Robert L, -~ Fowler voted against the proposed act; Aldermen P. L. Burch, G. Obie Davis, 0. K. Cornwell and Kenneth Putnam Voted for it. In other actions the board voted to allow the residents of Oakwood Drive and Rogerson Drive sections to tap on the sewerage lines on the basis fit some feasible plan to be worked out later. A proposal that the town begin a rat extermi nation program was presented by Mr. Hooks, a member of the dis trict health department staff.
