Mrs. Taylor, an avid sport fan and resident of this college town for a good many years, agreed with me immedi ately. She went on to tell me about the college pep - rallies, “in the good ole days,” when everyone at her house would turn out and go with the crowd of students all around the long Franklin-Ral- leigh-Cameron and Columbia block ... Mrs. Taylor commented about the apparent high spirits of the high school students.

THE NEW DODGE FOR '56 ON DISPLAY IN OUR SHOWROOM FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7 'I',?- AIRCRAFT EFFECT FOR '56 DODGE Unique high-sweep rear fender tail fins lend an aircraft-like effect to the new Dodge cars for 1956. They, .with the twin-jet taillights immediately establish this car's identity. Framed with a gleaming band of chrome, the taillight area boasts a unity of design seldom achieved in automotive styling. On Custom Royal models, the tail- light and back-up light are housed in slotted chrome bezels. At night, light from the taillight shines through the slots, aiding in side visibility. On the deck lid, a new crest serves as identification and is similar to the one used in the front. Reflecting the treatment given the front end, a slim ''V'' on V-8-equipped models is placed directly below the crest. Dual chrome exhausts, as shown, are standard on all Custom Royal V-8 models.

In announcing the coming week’s plans. Fire Chief Boone said “The purpose is to direct public atten tion to the 11,000 lives and mil lions in property destroyed by tire in 1954 and to the safety measures which can help to reduce these tragic figures in future years.” In the last decade, the Chief pointed out, fire has killed more than 100,000 persons and burned and disfigured countless more. “The home is the most sacred cen ter of life and to fully protect it the homem.aker must appreciate his responsibility for the safety of those within it,” declared the Chief. ' * Locally he cited these fire de struction statistics for 1954: 82 calls to the fire station and $18,000 damage. Alarms were sounded on 22 calls.

If we put service above self we can do a finer job for our entire community.” Town Statistics By way of introduction to his talk Mayor Todd cited a number of interesting statistics on his town, including the following: This year Carrboro has a $90,000 budget and a $.93 tax rate, which includes $.14 for debt service.
