Commissioners Get Petitions Signed By 1049 Orange County's first refer endum on the establishment of ABC stores in the past 25 years will be held on February 7 on a county-wi'de basis. Formal action calling for the election came at Tuesdays meeting of the Board of Coun ty Commissioners when the mem bers voted 4 to 0 to give the voters an opportunity to express them selves on the question. Ala^nance County has already called a similar election to be held on the same day. _ Commissioner Donald M. Stan ford of Chapel Hill, who has push ed hard for the referendum and the subsequent establishment of the stores as a measure to pro vide the county a broader revenue base for providing additional monies for schools and other coun ty needs, made the motion to call the election following presentation of informal petitions- distributed by the newspapers of the county and bearing the names of 1,049 citizens, most of them from the Hillsboro and northern Orange areas. The petitions had been made available as a public service on a request basis after the Com missioners at their last meeting had indicated a desire for an ex pression of sentiment on the ques tion by the people Commissioner Donald McDade seconded the mo tion and they, along with Chair man R. J. M- Hobbs and Commiss ioner Henry .Valker voted in tfte affirmative. Commissioner Dwight M. Ray abstained from voting. In its formal resolution calling for the” referendum, the Commiss ioners^ noted the following points: “It has been many years since the citizens of Orange County had an opportunity to vote on this vital issue. It is in the best in terests of Democratic government to call another such referendum. “The revenue to be derived from the profits of the ABC System in Orange County would greatly aid the County’s heeds for increased funds. “Citizens of Orange'County are now contributing heavily to the revenue of adjoining Counties, and thus providing them with funds by their patronizing of ABC Stores in these counties. “Orange County desperately needs new sources of revenue to meet its constantly mounting bud get expenses This is a logical and very profitable source of revenue. “To install the ABC system of sales of alcoholic beverages will improve the potentialities of the Countys’ law enforcement officers in controlling illegal liquor traf fic.” “ATKS REUNION The descendants of Thomas S. and \deline Perry Cates will have their annual reunion on Sunday, Sept. 14, at the home of Hight M.

Daryl Wagner, Gene Albright, or I Junior Skip Isenhour. ; Senior Eugene Kennedy will prob ably open at center for the Wild cats, but Wayne Davis",'a 140 pound junior with plenty of scrap and hustle, will get to perform a lot, too J.

The request denied was that of Darnell and Clara Mae Walden of Carr St., Carrboro, who had asked that their foster children, Roger. Rosetta, Jessie and Scottie Lee Kin caid. be reassigned from the North side School in the Chapel HIU sys tem to the hew Carrboro school. Walden said he had previously filed an application for 12-year-old Roger but it had never been re ceived by the Board. He was given a new blank to be filled out. His letter transmitting the other three applications was in the language of an appeal, using similar wording and reasons as that of the Lee Vickers letter, namely the distance to Northslde and the proximity to Carrboro.-—.—_ The board gave no reasons for denying the transfer request but will advise the couple in its formal notice of disapproval that its in vestigation has indicated they are entitled to free school bus trans l>ortation from where they litre to Northside, along with five other children. The setting of the time for the appeal of the Vickers couple, who h-e* present at as next (Monday night at 8 cr'ctoc*. was for convenience of the appel lants. Both couples claim their residence is within two blocks of the White school Thry were not represented by counsel. Attending the meeting with the principals in the cases, however, were the Rev.

Jones, pastor of the -Chapel Hill Community Church, and Preston Weaver, Negro shoe repairman, who ! has filed (wo previous school in tegration requests with the Chapel Hill School board, both of which w'ere .denied.'

Person County's board has ruled that all ' pupils who live in Person must at tend school in that county, or k will claim credit for all such attendance . if they insist on going out of the ! county. Orange County cannot ac cept them without an assignment fruan Person. The B. B. Olive family which lives near the Durham line asked that- their child be released to Dur ham; aiid the H. L. Durham fam ily on Blackwood Station road, asked that their children be trans j ferred to Chapel Hill. No action was taken on either case, which means in effect they can go to the neigh* ooring schools if they can get in but they have not been released by Orange County, which can claim their attendance.
