ONCE AGAIN THE MUCH
heralded postal poll on fluorida
tion of the local water supply has
been postponed by the University.
Originally scheduled to have been
sent out on ot about Friday,
April 28, the questionaires are no*
—accordiagjo the latest communi
que—going to be put in the ibai
"sometime next week." The dead
line, if there be me, is to be
pushed back appropriately.
THE CANDIDATES WERE
caught in various stages of vernal
unawares when the four-minute
gong sounded on their campaign
speeches during Tuesday night’s
candidates meeting. When the
“ding" came Horace Kornegay
stopped in the middle of a word
as if shot. Col. Holland Robb con
tinued on authoritatively for an
other couple of sentences until a
second gong was sounded. Philip
Schinban, talking fast, barely
made it through his text. Donald
Stanford had to quit just as he
of Women Voters gal on-tb* gong
is a woman who knows her stop
watches well. Mrs. Sam Magill is
married to a former UNC track
star. She used to hoM Hie watch
on him back in their courting
days.
OWE MORE NOTE ON THE
candidates meeting, if you please:
The bouquet for the best ex
ample of one-upmanship during
the evening goes to Republican
County Commissioner candidate
Louis Sparrow. Every other
speaker had formally introduced
his talk with “Madam Chairman,
ladies and gentlemen, and fel
low candidates.” Mr. Sparrow, a
staunch GOP-er, topped ’em off
with “Ladies and gentlemen and
fellow travelers.”
AND WHO IS THE JOKER IN
the U. S. Postoffice Department,
we cannot help asking, who yes
terday put in the Newsman’s
personal P.O. box a letter from
High Point addressed simply to
“Dr. I. Beverly Lake, Chapel Hill,
N. C.?” We resisted the telnpta
tion to write “unknown at this
address” and simply marked it
“Not Box 44” before putting it
back in the mail slot.
A "FIRST" IN LOCAL BOY
. Scouting, according to the News
man’s recollection, is the ad
vancement record last night of
University Baptist Church Troop
826 in Chapel Hill. All 35 mem
bers of the Troop — including
Scoutmaster Gene Lanier who at
tained the Eagle rank — was
given some award at last night’s
trOop court of honor. The Eagle
rank also went to Charles Lloyd.

BIG HANDS IN ORANGE-Sixth Dis
trict Congressional hopefuls Horace ‘Dag
wood’ Kornegay (left) of Greensboro and
Bill Murdock of Durham have been more
in evidence around Orange County durfyig
the last few days. With each having solid
support in his home County, and Alamance
appearing closely split, Orange will un
doubtedly be a big ballot battleground
during the closing days before the May 28
primary as the two candidates probe this
comparative virgin voter territory. —Stories
