While it was not stated what method of finally deciding between the tw;o plans would be selected, the proponents of both plans felt that getting out the facts in a joint written and graphic presentation would be generally advantageous. Chapel Hill School System. If such a vote wet's approved all taxpayers of the enlarged Chapel Hill District would pay the sup- piementary tax now levied there. Mrs. Ralph Cheek, President of the PTA, named Walter Clark Jr., the Citizens Committee Chairman, and Ralph Howard and Mrs. Cornelius Kayior to present the case for the merger. The District Committee will present the ad- vantage.s of the supplementary tax, whereby the local unit would re main in the County System. Ccmmlttee’s Plans Set The District School Committee recently voted to re-institute its campaign for a referendum in the Carrboro Area on the levying of a $.15 .supplementary tax for cur rent expense use in its school, the referendum to be held ‘‘not later than 90 days after the new school building has been completed .. Construction on the $375,000 build ing is expected to begin early next year, and its completion is foreseen early in 1958. On th* other hand spokesmen for the Carrboro Citizens School Committee favor a referendum on a merger of the Carrboro School Area which is now in the County School System, with the No Mass Meeting While a mass meeting on the que.stions involved was suggested, this was opposed by many of the persons present on the gi'ounds that feelings on both sides of the question were too high at this time, and that it might be belter to first lay out both .sides of the controversy in writing. A repres entative of the PTA Committee said it was hoped that those two presentations might be ready for the first fall membership meet ing of the Association.

Gave the Amateur Golf Tourney Set Labor Day Weekend The Third Annual Chapel Hill Amateur Golf Championships will be staged by the local Jaycees on Labor Day weekend. Plans for the tournament, open to all am.ateur golfers who live or work in Orange County, wciv' an nounced today by Gordon Perry Jr., and Eari Blackburn, co-chair men of the event. There were about 65 entrants in last year’s matches in which Roy Teague was the gross winner and John Cana da, net winner. This year’s medal play tourna ment will be played, 18 holes a day, on Sunday and Monday, Sep tember 2 and 3, under the Callo way system. Entry blanks are now available at Finley Golf Course Clubhouse or at the Town and Campus downtown. The $2.00 entry fee will include green fees. Mr. Perry said. While the course will not be closed to the public during the tourney, participants in it will have reserved starting times during the playoffs. Eight permanent trophies will he awarded to the winning golf ers—four to w'lnners and four to runners-up. Plans arc being tenta tively made for four tournament flights. In addition to these prizes the annual rotating trophies will be given to the low gross and low net scorers. Chapel Hill High Football Coach Bob Culton is pushing his Wildcat charges through tviAce-a-day work-, outs .in an. attempt to ready the squad for . the season’s opener against Selma on Sept. 7. A total of 48 youthful candi dates were ■ on hand Monday as practice sessions got under way in the High School Tin Can. Rain and w'et grounds kept the local foot- ba-llers indoors until yesterday when they v.'ent through two stiff workouts on the High School field. Practice sessions will be held each day at 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. until the stvirt of school on Sept. 5. Coach Culton said that he plans to cut the 48 man .squad down to 36 by the season s start. The 12 men who are dropped will form a nucleus for the proposed junior high school squad w'hich will begin practice when school starts. Name Two ‘Veterans’ Tommy Hogan and Tommy Good rich, a pair of battle-tested vet- ■erans, have been named as co captains of this year’s squad by their teammates. Hogan, a husky tackle in his fourth year of play, was the backbone of the Wildcat inner defense all last season, and at the end of the campaign, was cho.sen the year’s most outstand ing player by his teammates. Goodrich, another four year vet eran, is a sure bet to draw the starting assignment at fallback for the Wildcats. According to Coach Culton, the l&o-pound blockbuster is speeder than ever, and should be in for a gala season. Rudy Barker and Bobby Blake, a pair of lettermen who figured to see lots of action this season, have forced to the- sidelines for an indefinite period of time. Barker, a top quarterback candidate along w'ith Ruffin Harvilie, will be out for at least three weeks because of sickness; while Blake, a top prospect at tackle, will be side lined indefinitely with knee troub- ble. The addition of Selma rounds out a full 10-game slate for the Wildcats. The Johnston County team and Cary are the only non conference foes to he met by the Wildcats.

Miss Betty June Hayes, Orange County Register of Deeds and currently vice president of the North Carolina Young Democratic Clubs for the middle district, to day announced her candidacy for the YDC post of national commit- teewoman. Miss Hayes, who proved herself a formidable vote-getter in coun ty politics when she became the first woman to be elected to a major Orange County post in the 1954 elections, has been active in YDC politics for the past several years. .She is also vice chairman of the Orange County Chapter, Plans for her campaign for the most important office for woman in the State YDC were made last niyht at a meeting of a group of YDC members interested in her candidacy at the home of 'County YDC President W.

Mr. McMahon, an Assistant Director of the Institute ol Government here and a resident of Whitehead Circle, w,as recently named by the County Commiss ioners to the three • man body, along with Gran Childress of Bar clay Road. They succeed Mr. Cameron and Bill Hobbs who automatically went off the Commission when the areas of the District in which they were living w^ere annexed to the Town of Chapel Hill last spring. Eben G. Merritt of Pittsboro Road continues as the other member of the Commission. Vote To Negotiate In their initial reorganizational meeting this week the Commiss ioners voted to proceed immediate ly on negotiations with the Town of Chapel Hill to house the Dis trict’s new' $12,000 fire truck at the Chapel Hill Fire Department and to provide firemen to answ^er calls in the, District with it. To date the truck is being kept there only under a temporary arrangement, pending a financial agreement be tween the District and the Town. The Commissioners also voted not to refund any tax money paid into the District treasury by persons living, in areas of the District which have now been an nexed to the Town of Chapel Hilt. While the possibility of a refund had been suggested earl- lier this summer, Mr. McMahon said yesterday “We have examin ed the statutes and find that we have no authority to give back any money.” He said he anticipated np dif ficulty in reaching, a mutually sat isfactory agreement with the Town whereby it might continue to house and man the District’s truck, Mayor 0. K. Cornwell re cently named a special commit tee to confer with the Fire Com missioners and recommend such a pact. Could Turn Over Receipts It was suggested that the Com missioners might turn over their annual receipts b'om the $ .10 per $100 valuation tax receipts in the suburban district to the Town in return for a guarantiee of fire pro tection service in the District. With these funds—e.stimaterl at between $3,500 and $4,000 annual ly in the now-reduced district— the remaining balance due oh the truck of approximately . $8,000 could be paid off in addition to w'hatcver is agreed upon for ex tra costs involved.

Construction details of the pro posed southwest bypass highway around Chapel Hill and Carrboro were revealed today by the High way Department’s Division En gineer. The Department recently approv ed an appropriation of $430,000 for grading and structures of the 3.2 mile link from Morgan’s Creek on the Pittsboro highway northwest to N, C. Highway 54 west of Carr boro. Division Engineer T. A. Bur- tCn said that preparation of plans for the road would be started at an early date, though he could not predict when a contract might be let and construction started. Complete East-West Link The new road will complete an east-west bypass of Chapel Hill, the first half of which was built four years ago at the time of the con struction of the initial lane of the Durham-Chapel Hill Boulevard. Mr. Burton said that an addi tional mile and a half section of the new bypass had been pro posed to be carried on from Highway 54 west of Carrboro on around to old Highway 86 north of the town. However, this has uow been abandoned since old Highway 86 reverted to the County road system in the changing of the Route 86 de signation to the new Hillsboro Road. Traffic on old 86 is now pri marily of a local nature, according to thp engineer. DoesnT Include Paving While the cost of the paving Is not included in the $430,000 esti mate, it’s expected that this may likely account for an additional $175,000 on the basis of other roads constructed in this area recently, and, of course, depending on the type of pavement used. There will be three bridges on the new road: One, an underpass of the Pittsboro Highway at the Morgan’s Creek intersection, and two more bridges where th« by pass will cross the Smith Level and Jones Ferry Roads. The con nection at the west end of the project will be a channelized in tersection. Mr. Burton noted that the pro posed bypass will not be a limited access highway, although the exist ing link of this road is one. Mobile the right-of-way has not been en tirely secured as yet, present plans call for a right-of-way width of 150 feet, and a graded section for a future 24-foot pavement. ed Book of Golden Deeds Com mittee, named by Club President Herb Holland this week. On this body are Whid Powell, the Rev. John Weidinger, and Pat Pope. Mr. Holland said the Commit tee would seek to honor “some unsung civic worker who probably would not otherwise receive such recognition. The Club will again this year make rubber mouthpieces for players on the Chapel Hill High School football team, Mr. Holland said. Dr. Duncan Getsinger will be in charge of this project, which was carried out for the first time last year. Previous to last season, he said, an average of 10 mouth injuries hav« occurred each year. However, because of the use of the rubber mouthpieces last year there were none. Partly cloudy and warmer to day and tomorrow with widely scattered thunder showers tomor row.
