On motion of Collier Cobb Jr., of Chapel Hill, the group elected a seven-man executive body “to crystallize thought and present .ecommendations to the full Board at an early date.” Elected to this board, which, is to include the three and Robert Nichols.

The polls will be open from ( a.m. to 5 p m. McAdams urges all eligible vot ers to go to the polls and cast their ballot for the men they want on i .the local committee - to represent their community and make vital 1 fpgftBif m: fffl «**• *0* tire community. “i “The’ ASC program Is admin istered by farmers, it is a fanner run organization,” McAdams stated. The responsibility for running the ASC Program more or less is placed upon the farmers.” “To begin with,” McAdams point ed out, “the farmers m each com munity -elect each, year three of tfieif; members as eommimi$yr«»iRf mitteemen to represent them in handling the program in their com Supplemental Tax For Schools Being Studies By County Groups At least three Orange County groups are studying the question of a supplementary school tax, county-wide or within one or more school districts. The Kellogg Advisory Commit tee tor school improvement in Orange County last night was pre sented figures compiled at its re 3best by Superintendent Paul Cart towing yields which might be ex pected for the various schools ip the county system under 4x>th » 10c and ,a 5c school tax supple ment, according to the present property valuation and divided on the basis of teacher allotment. Bpt.i the Carrboro and White Cross district school committees are studying proposed tax supple ments for their districts, in order to meet the demands of the Chap el Hill school authorities for an equalization of the payment of non-, district students for operation of the SChoOfc. Some 425 students horn the Carrboro ancl White Cross districts attend school in Chapel Hill where school funds are augmented by a 15c per $100 sup plement. In presenting data to the Kel Wgg group last night, Car^pd vised that on the basis of present .taxable property valuation in the county outside the Chapel Kill dis trict, $43,000,000, a yield in the neighborhood of $43,000 might be expected from a 10c levy and $21, 500 from a 5c levy. Using the teacher allotment as a basis for distribution of. these funds among the various funds, he presented t h e following breakdown by schools: (Ihe first figure is a per centage of the total teachers for each school followed by the tax yield for the 10c levy): Hillsboro. 27.9%, $11,997, West Hillsboro, 4.8%, $2,064. Muiphey,JfeO%;MBQ. Z . Efland (White^6.8%, $2,924. Aycock, 8 9'jttfl5.827. Carrboro, $3,827. - White Cross, 27%., $1,161. Caldwell, 2.0%, $860. ' Central, 20.4%, $8,772. Efland (Negro), 4.7%, $2,021. Cedar Grove, 10.9%, $4,687. The approximate cost in North Carolina for several “extras” which might be provided under such a - proposed supplementary tax, Mr. Carr said, is as follows: $3,000 for a teacher. $4,000-$5,000 for a band director, $800-$l,500 for a principal’s secretary, and $500 $1,000 for suplements to coaehes. See SCHOOL MEET, Page 8 One Of Biggest Stills Is Cut In Raid By Sheriff Last Week One of the biggest stills caught in operation in many months in Orange County whs cut down m Little River Township last week by the OtSflge County Sheriff’s De partment. None of the operators were caught J&. the. .still site, incited in liquor making about - 12 'miles north of Hiilshoreybut over 2,000 gallops of-, fermenting mash was poured out and the still, maintain ed by a good-sized low pressure ] steam boiler, was wrecked. While treking down thii still! Sheriff Odell H. Clayton also ran across a twin-container submarine type still—a layout seldom seen in these parts—within a half-mile of the bigger operation. He hack ed this one up, too turning out several hundred gallons of the dregs of previous runs. It was es timated this still hadn’t been ope rated in quite a while. Participator Officer* ' Participating in the destruction of the big. 12- barrel still, besides Sheriff Clayton*, were Deputies Rainey Roberts, Burch Compton, Buck Knight, W. E. Clark Jr., and Earl Bush. They found it along a creek bed in a thickly wooded ravine about a mile off Highway 57 near Robert Gates farm. The mitfit apparently had been forehand and the brew was work ing up in the big 180-gallon hogs heads. As a rough guess the -offi cers . estimated there would have been as many as 60 cases of white liquor distilled from this batch, and it could have sold to a whole sale rum runner for about $1,000. By the time the final consumers bought it from retail bootleggers the purchase price might well have been several times this sum. It was estimated that the still itlelf represented about a $1,000 investment, but after being wreck ed the few remaining copper pipes and cooling worm that were sal vaged by the officers were worth le#3than fgp to a junk dealer. • FRED BLAKE JR.

Drive chairman J. L. Mrown Jr. announced that the change was made to avoid conflict with drives already underway in the area. Beginning Monday, Octoebr 24, teams of volunteers in every part 5#>f the area will begin calling on ndividuals and busines places for funds to support the program of the Bright Leaf Girl Scout Coun cil in bring more and better Girl Scouting' to the northern part of Orange County. . Seven organisations are spon soring Girl Scout troops in this area this year, giving the greatest opportunity the program has ever nd.

John Clayton of Hillsboro was knocked unconscious for several ■minutes and his pickup truck dam aged Monday night about 8:30 o’ clock on Highway 70 a mite west of Efland when he struck a park ed car on the highway and swerved into an oncoming car driven by Gother Watkins of Mebane. Mr. Clayton was blinded by on coming lights and failed to see the stalled car on the highway. He ap parently struck the parked cai a glancing blow and careened into the path of the car with the blind ing lights. Damages to his truck were estimated at $100, to the the car parked on the road drove off without being identified be fore Mr. Clayton regained cqn sciousness. There were no sei ious injuries reported. No charges have been preferred in the case: Mr. Clayton lost his pocketbook in the accident and say he will be glad to reward anyone returning it to him.

The community commit teemen have done an outstanding , job in helping tiie farmers it) their community to take advantage of the many! benefits offered through the ASC program. These community committeemen are busy farmerjt themseives. -g*: make a sacrifice to do the job for the fanners in. their community. These men are responsive for the administration of the program in their community and they need, and should have full cooperation of "the farmers in that communi ty. The average fanger perhaps does not realize the many services that they receive from their Com munity committee. Another group who also has s large responsibili ty in runqing the ASC program in the County is the County Cam- / mittee. and again the responsibil* ty falls right back on the individ ual, farmer, because if Is the farm ers’ privilege to select these men to serve on the county committee.** Duties -- Mc4|d*ms in reminding the com? ing date for the elections gave some of the duties of the county committee, that they are called up* on to perform. He says they ve responsible for the operation of the County ASC offices, for select ing practices that are suited to their cpunty, setting up tobacco allotments, dividing the alloca tions of funds for different sign up periods, and numerous addit ional problems that coihe up from .time to time in connection with the program. 'McAdams • also stated that gr ange Cotinty has been very for tunate Jill through the year* in having efficient men as county and community committeemen. This, he said, accounts for t h e splendid progress of the ASC pro gram in Orange County. Continu ing! McAdams stated that the ASC .program tsr a-*' farmer-run program for the farmers. Every farmer has the priviledge of co operating with the ASC program, however, there is nothing compul sory about it.
