ABC Proposal Picks Up Steam-Both Pro & Con - The Chapel Hill .laycees have< unanimously approved the move' to obtain a vote-on the establish ment of ABC stores in XJrangt ( County, while strong opposition has been registered by Commis-j stoner Edwin S. Lanier and several church groups. The Ch*apvi—Bt).—ministerial—as sociation will meet today to de Jaycees Back It Thursday night the Jaycecs pass ed unanimously a resolution in support of the Parent-Teachet 1 Association's earlier appeal to th< ; commissioners asking the referen dum, Included in this motion, rec ommended by- the eluh's hoard «4* directors, was an appeal to othn j civic groups in the county to do 1 likewise. The proposal/lidn't .car.fj a stand on the issue itself, bUt ,sug- j gested "the people of the counts I should have a clianqe to vote on > this question." Meanwhile a movement against the election has sprung up in sev-l eral churches around the commu nity. a number of ministers have spoken out against it. and County Commissioner Edwin S Lanier ha* Umstead Supports Milk Several bills of importance to all the citizens of North Carolina will be considered' this week. Some of them will reach the floor of the Senate ~ and House, - while ’ Others will have committee consideration. One of these matters and one that should be of interest to all citizens is the Milk Price Control Bill introduced by Senator Scott of Alamance Milk is a food prod uct that is necessary if-children as well as adul s are to enjoy health and develop strong bodies. This being true it is important that the milk placed oh the market be of high quality and be delivered to our people just as soon after leaving the milking can as possi ble. This means that those engaged in the dairy business must have some protection , from loss The Scott bill is intended to give this protection. He Supports Bill There is opposition to the bill from some milk retailer^ and some consumers. The claim is made that eventually this bill will mean that ipilk will cost the consumer much more than at th? present time.4 disagree with those who take this stand on the bill. I think that we See 'UMSTEAD, Page 2 nade very clear not only his oppo dion-to the holding of the elec ion hut to !he proposal itself. Mr Lanier, the first ol the five commissioners to pronounce com pletely his stand on the idea, made uiblic today a -letter to the Kcv. Henry Morgan, minister of Mt. armel Baptist Church southof awn.
