A. F. Jenzano. Planetarium 'di rector'; has talked personally with scores of visitors who have seen “Star of Bethlehem” in prior years. He says they are “unani mous in their statements that this year's pageant is the best we have yet pffered.” The finest effects available to portray the wonderful--story of into ■ a spectacle of lights, music, tableaux and the Scriptures by the cooperative efforts of minis* ters, artists, technicians and UNO and "Duke professors. ... — The first portion of the pageant is devoted to the appearance of the heavens almost 20 centuries ago and deals, particularly with the astronomical events that are \ known to have occurred in the years about the time of the birth of Jesus. What we see reproduced on the Planetarium dome is some thing that, to the Wise Men from the East, would have seemed to he a very potent sign ofsome great event. | Astronomers ff.iieve, accord ing to Jenzano, that they have dis covered what the Star of Beth lehem was, if the Star was some thing* in- the sky for everyone to i see.

Prospects For : Building Are Now Improved Prospects that the new Cameron Park school at Hillsboro cfn be built by next Fall were increas ingly encouraging to county school officials this week when bids were opened Tuesday afternoon in the Courtroom of the old courthouse, now being readied for occupancy by the school board. ' Surprising to some officials were the low bids, which totalled less than $21,000 above available money already set up for the proj ect. The spread, it had been fear ed, would be much greater, there by further delaying the alleviation of the critical space situation at the Hillsboro school. A record number of bidders sought the project, no less than 22 of them after the general cob- ’ tract. This, if the low bid is approved by the Board of Education and then by the State Board of Educa tion on January 6, will go to the Charles C. Hayes Construction Company of Durham, which sub mitted a bid of $187,740. Next lowest was E. A. Braxon & Sons of Graham wih $193 000 and Coltrane &'Graham of High Point, builders of the new Ornage County courthouse; with $197,125 Mace Electric Company of San ford was low bidder for. the elec trical contract. Arrow Plumbing and Heating Co. of Durham for the heating contrac, and Hunt Plumb ing Co. of Durham f$r the plumb ing contract. Their bids were $17, 800. $29,675, and $20,784 respec lively. .- 4ir V:’, The total amounted to $255,999 with $23.5.000 set up for the proj ect. Officials said they saw no dif ficulty in deleting enough items to bring thfrxcontracts within the bounds of available money. Architect Archie R. Davis short ly after .the opening of bids said he thought the building could be completed next September an$ re vealed that a time limit ef ^OO working days had been placed in the contract specifications.
