It didn’t get bogg-, ed down in Washington red tape.; . "AH, power comes from some sour-e,” Mr. Durham said. “Now wr are making progress in nu clear power .... If it is effective you young people can enjoy it. It will be a very cheap power. We must continue this research pro ject.” ■ | In the featured address of the afternoon Gwyn B.

Just rest assured that I’ll back the rural electrification program in the future as I have in the past.” • , The members of the corporation also reelected directors for the coming year Among the nine di i rectors returned to office was S, C Wilson of Chapel Hilt, and Clyde Roberts and N, B Berry of HilLs , boro. . . 4 "" .."■__— ----—> .

I-Hand are the runoff opponents for the one seat undecided on the Board of Commissioners. The size of the vote is anybody’s guess. All four men have been active iihce the first primary. Best guess among the politically informed places the tout vote in the neighborhood of 3,000 but H may go higher because of the tight competition among the candidates. Traditionally northern rural'. Orange votes heavier in run-off elections than does Chapel Hill Carrboro, which could equal the number of votes in the rest of the county if they turned out. And with both of the Senate candidates and one of the men seeking a seat on the Board id Commission ers being Chapel Hillians, the In terest should be higher in Chapel Hill than in the past and thua the vote should be heavier. There is much speculation as to the effect that a resolution pataed at a recent meeting of the County Board of Commissioners wUi how® oA the (duettoo.
