Page 8) No Cause For Pressure, Haste An Editorial The Hoard of County Commissioners is being pressed by a so-called “Citizens School Council" in Chapel Hill to take immediate action in order to hold the important Carrboro YVhite Cross-Cliapel Hill school district merger election as quickly as the law allows despite historic political conflicts and an atmosphere highly charged with personal feelings. To hold this school election before the current political season is out of the way would be a mistake indeed and could result In harm far out weighing any advantages which could possibly accrue from a 30 to bo day delay. The decision the election will make is an im|>ortant one for the future welfare of the schools and for harmonious re lationships between communities and peoples living and working side by side. It should be reached in an atmosphere of calm, on the basis of accurate information, and without the bitterness and rancor presently existent and becoming more intensified as various groups are applying pressure. • This, people of good will on both sides of rite question have a right to expect. Officials, the various boards and committees, yes even the newspapers, lune contributed to the tnisin forma Mon now prevalent. Some of it lias been deliberate. All of it should ; cease as all concerned assume renewed responsibility for ac ; curacy and restraint. School officials and taxing officials of the county assure that nothing will lie lost by holding the election in late June. The seriousness oh the decision is such that every opportunity Should be given the affected citizens to make a wise decision. An atmosphere of calmness and good will, without' bene the situation at hand.
