WHAT HAPPENED TO THE
votes of University employees in
the bond referendum. Pro-bond
folks had counted heavily on a
high unanimous favorable turn
out from the 4,000 persons em
ployed by the University. Yet the
five Chapel Hill precipcts, where
most of ’em live, carhe up with
an average of only 2,100 “yes”
ballots on the various issues
T’wasn’ti that UiNC employees!
were against the proposals, but
obviously they simply didn't go to
the polls as hoped.
A LOYAL UNC ALUMNUS AND
townsman who went to tremendous
pains to cast his ballot was Bill
Cochrane, administrative secretary
to Senator Everett Jordan in Wash
ington, but who still maintains
his Chapel Hill residence on
Farrington Mill Rd. He flew, down
Tuesday especially to cast his bal
lot for the bond proposals in Chap
el Hill Precinct Five at Glenwood
School, then caught a plane back
to Washington.

DEMOCRATIC WOMEN OF

bushes for »a big pow-wow next
week when they’ll organize a
Democratic Women’s Club for "this
County. Abetting the .unusual ac
tivity are National Committee
woman Mrs. Herbert McKay and
Regional Democratic Coordina
tor Mrs. Harold Walters, both of
Chapel Hill. To date there are
almost 4,000 women with paid-up

INDICATION »F HOW THE;
County’s ABC system has virtually
dried up the ‘bootleg business is I
contained in the October report of
the enforcement division, as pre
sented to the Board Monday. It
showed for the month's work: two
arrests, nine houses and 12 autos
searched, no autos captured, no
stills captured, and no bootlfeg
booze, mhsh or ABC whiskey of
any kind seized.
INCIDENTALLY, CHAPEL
'Hill’s rate of consumption, based ;
on sales at its outlet, increased
15 per cent during the three
months period ending Sept. 30,
as compared to Hie same period
a year ago. The 1961 third quart
er was up $31,010.90 as compared
to 1960’s. -
AND A STUDY BY ABC OFFIC
ials has indicated there is no ap^
preciable change in volume of
sales :when the University is in
session and when it isn’t.
