Lanier, What and how would you tell children in the second grade about town government? Last January Miss Inez Bare foot teacher of a section of the second grade in the Chapel Hill Elementary School, asked the Mayor to visit her class and tell the children about municipal gev'ernment. He promised to do so. and the next day — a cold, rainy one—he went to the school building. On 'the w'ay he tried to ! plan his statement. He entered I the classroom still perplexed I about what to say to the little I citizens. 1 The group was silent and mo- j tionless while the teacher pre- I sented the visitor.

A little girl was touched on the shoulder, “Tell us.” She answered quickly, “The policeman helps us get across the street. He is our friend.” (For weeks the class,had been writing one story each daya- bout a community helper: po liceman, doctor, groceryman, druggist, postman, nurse, teach er, minister, mechanic, fireman, dentist, etc, etc.) Ride The Fire Truck? (The mayor thought he was .get ting off to a good start. Another thought came, and he asked, “How many of you have ever seen a fire ti'uck?” Nearly all hands up. “What’s the color of the fire truck?” Almost as one they answered the question. And then an impulse question, with out thinking of the possible con sequences: “How many of you would like to ride the fire truck?” The children .lumped to their feet and chorused, “I do, I do! When? When?” Miss Barefoot labored to re store order, and the Mayor knew he had thoughtlessly made present trouble for the teacher and future problems for himself. The League of Women Voters’ meetings fo r candidates had never thrown him into such a dilemma, and fast thinking was now urgent. Problems and questions flood ed his mind: Winter weather.

GRADERS, page 8) Dwight Ray Becomes Democratic Nominee For County Office; Is First For Carrboro H. Broadwell of Hillsboro announced late yesterday that he would not seek a second primary runoff election against Carrboro’s Dwight Ray, the man he trailed by 37 votes for the Democratic nomination to the fifth seat on the board of county commissioners. This will give Carrboro its first Democrat ever to hold a county office, since nomination in the May 29 Democratic primary is as good as election. Mr. Broadwell received 2,361 votes to 2,398 for Mr. Ray. In Hillsboro yesterday, Mr. Broadwell, a former tovyn commissioner and an official at Cone Mills’ Eno Plant, thanked those who support ed him for their backing and their votes. “I am declining to call for second primary,” he said, “be cause I think this decision will be in the best interests of the Demo cratic Party of Orange County.” Ray Is Gratified Notified last night of Mr. Broad- well’s decision, Mr. Ray said he was gratified at the news. He added that he’d backed Mr. Broadwell strongly in the May 29 primary, and felt him to be a “fine candi date for commissioner.” Mr. Ray also asked that his appreciation be expressed to the voters of the county. A native of White Cross, Mr. Ray went to Chapel Hill High School, and has been a partner in Lloyd- Ray Hardware Store for 22 years. He has been on the Carrboro dis trict school committee for about 20 years, and the board of town commissioners for nearly that long. A member of the Carrboro Baptist Church, he is also president of the Carrboro Lions Club. It’s been over 20 years since a Carrborian has been elected to any county job. and in that case it was a Republican. The late W. H. “Brownie” Ray won a seat on the Opinions varied today on how Mr. Broadwell's declining a sec ond primary would affect the race for sheriff betwene Hills boro's Odell Clayton and Chapel Hill's Frank C. Maddry. These two will be in a runoff election on June 26. Clayton, leader by over 400 votes in the first pri mary, looms as the favorite. But the 1,700 votes that went for the eliminated candiates, Charles Johnston and Willie Laws, could ,tip the voting scales to Mr. Mad- dry in the runoff. Some suggest that Mr. Broad- well's retirement from the scene will lessen interest in the runoff in Hillsboro and northern Orange, and thus help Mr. Mad- dry. But it's also been pointed out that without Mr. Ray from Southern Orange running against Mr. Broadwell, there'll also be a lighter vote in this end of the county, so this could work in Mr. Clayton's favor. ers are Edwin S. Lanier, R. J. M. Plobbs, and Henry S. Walker for four-year terms, and Sim Efland and Mr. Ray for two-year terms. iThey’ll be opposed in the No vember general election by only two nominees from the Republican party. These are A. G. Crawford of Orange Grove and Eric Neville of Carrboro.

He reports on segregation in Northern, as well as in South ern, classrooms; on the progress that has been made in the South over the last half century (the facts of this remark may surprise Northerners who assume that cer tain governors and senators speak for the whole South); and, in an other chapter that contains some pleasant surprises, on the treat ment of Negroes in Southern uni versities.

Girls', Boys' State Delegates Are Chosen Pati-icia Shores and Cecilia Husbands, rising seniors at Cha pel Hill High School, are attend- nig the 15th annual Girls State which began at the- Woman’s College in Greensboro yesterday. The week-long program is sponsored by the American Le gion Auxiliary for about 250 high school junior girls, selected on the basis of leadership and schol arship. Mrs. H. A. Whitfield, out going president of the local auxil iary, and Mrs. Ralph Ranklin, Americanism chairman were in charge of selecting the Chapel Hill delegates. John Hanft, also a rising sen ior and son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hanft, has been chosen by Chapel Hill Legion Post No. 6 as local representative to the annual Boys’ State which will begin here next Sunday. the Carrboro School auditorium at 8 o’clock tonight. The Institute of Government will conduct the session for the town commissioners. At their - monthly meeting tomorrow night the com missioners will discuss, and poss ibly adopt or reject the ordinance as proposed by the town zoning commission. The latter group held a hearing on the matter early in the spring. Mayor J. Sullivan Gibson said this morning that he had heard almost no opposition to the zoning Ipropsal as such. But he added that several persons have objected to the recommended boundaries -for the residential and business zones. Some businessmen- whose establish ments would be zoned into resi dential areas said they wanted these districts reclassified as busi ness zones, Mr. Gibson said. The six-man zoning commission, of which Lloyd M. Senter is the chairman, was appointed by the Mayor last year as an investigatory eommittee. The town commission ers gave it authority as a commis sion this past winter. Awards Made To 4 At CHHS ^ ' Friday night at Chapel Hill High School’s commencement, the Al- box.

MORE ROAD IMPROVEMENT Beginning at Morgan’s Creek bridge south of Chapel Hill, high way 15 from the bridge south to the Chatham County line, is be ing improved. The shoulders have been widened, the curves reduc ed some, and a strip about four feet wide is being added to the paving. Last year the road from the Orange - Chatham line south through Pittsboro and to U. S. 1 near Sanford was given the same treatment. These improvements give this area a good road south to Sanford, and have greatly reduced the driv ing hazards along that thirty-five miles. , It is the plan of the Highway Commission to make some im provements later from the town limits near the Medical School south to the Morgan’s Creek bridge.
