Children's Carol Programs Are Set Thursday
The chfldren -in the fiist six
grades at the Chapel Hill Elemen
tary School will give their annual
performances of Christmas carols
this Thursday.
The primary grades—first, sec
ond and third—will sing at 10:45
£ m. The upper grades—^fourth,
fifth and sixth—will sing at 2 p.m.
As a part of the Christmas cele
bration this year a play—“The

—will be presented by a group
of Elementary School children.
. The theme song of the play,
“Hinging Bells” is an original com
position by Frances Smith and
Nancy Burns. Mrs. Fred McCall,
who is in charge of the programs
and Mrs. John Lamont, director of
the play, are working together to
integrate the , music, dancing and
singing. Miss Nelle Cheek, of the
Elementary School faculty, will
be the accompanist.
I The same play will be presented
j at both performances but the ca-
j rols will be different at the morn-
I ing and afternoon programs. All
I parents and their friends are in-
i vited to attend either or both per
formances and to take part in sing
ing familiar Christmas songs with
the children as a finale.
A special feature of the upper
'grade program is the opening num
ber. A brass ensemble from the
Chapel Hill School band, directed
by Joseph Wood, will play a cho
rale from the “Christmas Ora-
jtorio” by J. S. Bach. Arrangement
10'f the song was made especially
for this performance by Mr. Wood.

cording to Dr. Vine. At maturity
within two years he’ll probably
weigh froni 160 to 180 pounds and

breed.
Mrs. Jordan seemed consumed
with delight as she nestled the new
dog in her arms at t;ie Vine Hos
pital on Thursday. The two seemed
immediately taken with each oth

clared, ‘‘This is just wonderful. I
don’t know what anybody could
have done that would have delight
ed us more.”
Is Named Prince
The gentle, coal-biaek bundle of
fur was named “Prince”—“a name
vvith a future,” the Jordans felt—
and seemed to be faring quite well
ye-sterday at their home on Pitts
boro Street. He’s not alone in his
family locally, since the William
Whites of Patterson Place own a
dog which is brother to “Prince,”

of the Country Club area have al
ready sought annexation in a peti
tion to the board.
Required Improvements
Required capital improvements
for the total area are estimated to
cost $280,000 and would encom
pass the following facilities: Oak-
wood, Rogerson and Greenwood
sewer lines—$44,000; Glen Lennox
streets—$75,000; new Greenwood-
Country Club - Ridgefield sewer
lines—$91,000; new fire station—■
$40,000; new fire truck (ladder
type)—$30,000. The total bonded
debt would be increased by the
.$280,000 from $509,000—the’ total
as of next .June 30—up to $789 -
ooo:
The to'wn’s present ratio of debt
to its assessed valuation is 3.1 per
cent and the $280,000 additional is
sue w'ould increase the ratio to 3.6
per cent—still well within the stat
utory limitation of eight per cent.
The new area contains an esti
mated 2.340 persons, which would
bring the town’s population up to
11,840. It has 9.9 miles of streets
and 6.5 miles of sewer lines. The
property valuation of $5,729,164
can be broken down as follows:
Greenwood—$1,066,355; Glen Len
nox, $2,706,375; Oakwood Drive—
$478,989; Rogerson Drive — $245,-
879; Ridgefield (after one year and
25 houses are constructed)—$300,-.
OCO; and Country Club—$931,566.
Would Pay Own Way
Mr. Rose’s presentation showed
that the total proposed anne.xation ‘
would increase the town revenue
by $62.260—from $274,951 at pres-,
ent to $337,213 a year after an- '
nexation. I
The required increase in the
budget would be almost the same
as the additional revenue that
would be rsalized, so that the an
nexation would pay its own way in |
current expenditures within a year, j
A considerable portion of thee ap-1
ital improvement expenditures that
would be required would be in
repayments to property owners
and to reimburse the Glen Len
nox management for its paved
streets.
