The committee wishes to make the following recommenda tions pertaining to remodeling and ■ additions that should be made at {this building: 1. The three classrooms number ed 10, 11 and 12 which are in the ‘ old high school building should be converted into two good science rooms and the two present rooms numbered 2 arid 3, which are used I for science, should be converted (See SCHOOLS, Page 4) f 1 fyji Wren Reports On County's Civil Defense Director Walter Wren has estimated that Orange County could take care of 24,000 evacuees with food and housing for a limited period' in the event of ’'bombing attack on Durham or other nearby metropolitan centers. Wren’s estimate was given in a letter answering an inquiry from’ ' Bennie- L. Daniel, Director of the i. Office fo Civil Defense, Durham, and reported to the Board of County Commissioners on Mon day-. Orange County’s‘role in the civil defense program is that of support and reception area in the event of' bofnbing of ma'jor near by cities. ' The commissioners then approp riated up to $100 for Wren to use .. - for office supplies and travel, as Civil Defense Director and ap pointed Mayors of three county towns as an Advisory Board to Wrenn, A deputy director will be named at an early meeting. Wren's report relative to avil uble facilities follows: “A .survey of schools and churches .for housing available has -been made. We-.have 60 rural churches and 41 churches in Hills boro, Carrboro and' Chapel Hill, making a- total"'of Itn.. These 1 estimate will house 11.000. We iyive 16 elementary schools, 11 white and 5 Negro, with a present enrollment of around Cf.000. In an emergency we could house .and feed this numbef for around 7 days. The University of North Carolina could hotise and fe^d an other 5.000 for 7 days. The public eating places could take care of '‘the feeding .of. the 11.Q00 that are * housed in the churches. Total is" 24,000. This estimate is based on our regular supply of food that is kept on , hand by the schools and the University and is not £ivil Defense supplies. “As you know we have N. C. Memorial Hospital in Chapel Hill with 700 beds and we have a clinic in Hillsboro of about 22 beds.
