CHAPEL HILL HAS A SUPER
sonic jet interceptor of its very
own — in a manner of speaking.
The University town was one of
28 North Carolina municipalities
whose names were emblazoned
permanently on the planes of
the public relations - conscious
482nd Air Defense Squadron at
Seymour Johnson Air Force
Base last Saturday. The local
mayors were on hand for the
‘‘christening.”.
BUSINESS REGULATION PRE
vented their saying how the sen
timent ran. But the Chapel Hill
office of Western Union report
ed a great many citizens took
advantage of the “public opinion
telegram” plan during the heat
of the Mississippi crisis early this
week; sent opinion messages of
up to 15 words to federal offi
cials for die flat fee of $ .75.
IT IS NOW APPARENT THAT
tha -State of North Carolina wofi’t
be embarrassed with a test of its
“safety valve” in the Pearsall
Plan school law. Reece Birming
ham of Carrboro, only person
who’s yet applied for a private
tuition grant for his children as
a result of desegregation of a
school, is moving his residence
to Chatham County. His petition
for reimbursement for tuition at
the Twaddell School in Durham,
which his children attended last
year, was stalled and denied by
the State after having been en
v dorsed by the local School Board.
