themselves and their citizens a great service by joining
in this altruistic project. More commendably yet, the
ministers, churches, and civic clubs of Orange are com
ing forward voluntarily to help- carry out the mechanics
of the program.
' The President’s program may achieve its noble ob
jectives. It is yet untried. Orange does not know the
short or long-range effects of this new endeavor. But lo
cal leaders know that it is for a very worthy idea, and
that such a1 gift horse need not be looked in the mouth.
Receive ten-fold .
The proponents of the food project know also that
needy citizens will receive necessities of life valued at
10 times or more the cost of administering the program.
Every mopth thousands of dollars worth of surplus food
will be put into the hands of persons who need it—and
at a cost of only a few hundred dollars a month.
.The County may reasonably hope for any or all of the
following results: (1) Distribution of food to the needy
may save family expenses for these persons, and ulti
mately make possible a saving in welfare benefit pay
ments; and (2) Orange County citizens will share in the
comradeship of learning more of their needy citizens’
circumstance and of helping their fellow man; and (3)
nature’s bounty will be distributed where it’s needed—
instead of lying fallow and costing the taxpayers even
more. ^

Mix-up on terms and members
of board of education is soon
Is Delmar Brown still legally
a member of the Orange County
Board of Education?
Have Board members C.harles
W. Stanford and Charles Walker
been apfwinted to terms of the
$rrong duration?
, Will Orange County voters have
to nominate fourk out of the five
members of the Board in 1964?
These are questions brought
out in what appears to ^be a
technical foul-up in the appoint
ment and/or failure to appoint
members to the Board recently.
Brown for Porter
Ho begin at the beginning:
The County Democratic Commit
tee last year nominated Delmar
Brown of Hillsboro to serve as
successor to Ross Porter when
the latter resigned. According to
statute such an interim appointee
is supposed to serve until the
next General Assembly, when the
Legislature is supposed to elect
a regular member.
However, when the "omni
bus" bill naming all board of
education members was passed
recently by the Legislature
Brown's name was not among
those appointed. His term ac
cording to his nomination by
the County Democratic Execu
tive Committee expired on
April 1 the regular date for ex
piration of the terms of mem
bers of education boards.
Orange County Rep. John Um
stead said in Raleigh yesterday
morning that he had not been

the bill. It was his uaderstand
ing, he said, that board of edu
cation members nominated to fill
vacancies served out the term o>
the person whose seat they were
filling rather than until the next
session of the General Assembly
Ross Porter’s term would not
have expired until 1962.
Another mix-op?
Another possible mix-up is in
volved in the terms of members
Stanford and Walker, re-appoint
ed to the Board in the new omni
bus bill by the Legislature fob
lowing their nomination by the
voters last spring. When the five
member Board of Education was
set up several years ago it was
so arranged that there would be
revolving membership and six
year terms for the members.
Four parallel terms
However, under the new omni
bus bill Walker and Stanford
were named to four-year terms,
which would bring their new
