Jtight Chapel Hill School freshmen had the prettiest girl in North Car olina as their teacher in . a three-hour extra class ses sion this week. The occasion was the lilniing of a teacher recruit ment movie bv. the Uni versity Communication Center for the North Carolina Educa tion Association. And the num ber one lure, to attract thous ands of young persons to Ihe leaching profession, was Bette Jo PJng, Aliss North Carolina of 19-55 and a journalism and English teacher this year in Lexington High School. For tnree hours after school on Tuesday afternoon Aliss Em ma Lee Davis’ English class room on the second floor of the high school was converted in to a flood-lighted movie studio as Bill Gulley, director of the movie for the Communication Center, put the actors through a half-dozen ‘‘"takes” before the one-minute movie W'as deemed pei’fect and ready for public view'ing. Prints of it will be distribut ed to TV stations all over the state for use as public service announcements during the next few months. Yesterday after noon the movie - making crew, a team of eight specialists in the filming of sound movies, shifted to the elementary school scene for the shooting of anoth er similar type “shortie” on the need for more teachers. In the latter production Airs. Louise Lamont, the creative dra matics teacher, played the part of a school principal and four first grader's,-were in' her Sup porting east. They were John W. Umstead IV, son»of Air. and Airs. Frank Umstead; Becky Bodenheimer, daughter of Air. and Airs. Paul Bodenheimer; Millie Blackwell, daughter of Mr. and Airs. Gordon Blackwell; and George Penick, Jr., son of Dr. and Mrs. George Penick. The first-year high schoolers, who had the thrill of their lives appearing in the movie with Aliss Noith Carolina, were Pat Hun ter, Neal Alorgan, Frances Strowd, Doris King, Allen Smith, Monty BisscII, Tammy Lefler, and Wyndell Alerritt, the only student who had a real “acting” part. (His I’ole con sisted of raising his hand to call the teacher for help in his studies.)

He was at one time employed by the Dprham Herald and was for some years a corre spondent in Shanghai, 'China.
