Russian composer. Moussorgsky. It i
is well known in its orchestral ^
version and arrangements for a
symphony orchestra have been |
made by Ravel, Lucicn Caillet and
others.
The work is originally for piano
solo, the way Dr. Mason will play
it Tiiesaay. It is a series of tone
pictures inspired by an exhibition
of paintings and sketches by the

to strive to produce a higher quali
ty of tobacco and a darker grade
of leaf was emphasized to Orange
County tobacco growers last week.
‘ Get your tobacco planted early,”
a tobacco expert advised more than
3>»0 Orange County tobacco farm-
CJ’s who attended a meeting in the
Aycock,School last Thursday night.
The expert, S. N. Haw^ka, ex-
ten.sion tobacco specialist from State
College, said "the man wants”
heavier tobacco, and planting beds
early will help you get it. How'-
ever. Hawks cautioned against
pJ.antiiig before the ^Id weather is-
gone, and said "just work toward
the early part of the season.”
Hawks was one of tliree speak- j
ers at the meeting Thursday who |
discussed the 1957 tobacco crop
with county farmers. Others were ^
H. E. Scott, extension entomologist'
of State College, and Harold Wheel
er. a representative of the Stabili
zation Corp. County Agent Don

Integration Study Plan
Given To School Board
A plan of study for meeting the
Supreme Coui't racial integration
edict in the iucal schooU- has been
presented to the Chapei Hill Schoo:
Board and it.; Citizens Advisor\
C'lnmiUee by the Interracial Fel
lowship for Schools.
A seven-point suggested guide
on questions for which answers
might be sought was thi.s week
presented to the School Board by
Dr. Edwin P. Hiatt, representing
the Fellowship committee wliicb.
drew them up. The Interracial Fel
lowship was formed here in 1955
With the pf-imar.v-'Yjbjcctivc 'J a
harmonious working out of the Sii
prerne Court's ruling.
The Board voted to receive th.-
plan with appreciation and “to ex
press its intention to give extrfme
ly careful thought to this during
the next few months.” Board Chair
man Grey Culbreth also painted
out that the School Board last
spring adopted a policy concerning
the assignment of pupils in bocal
schools.
01 schooling—which can- be avoid
ed with foresight and planning.. .”
(6) That better schools can be re-
ali.stic expectations: such planning
i.s difficult as long as local policy
on desegregation is unsettled; and
(7) Few communities of this size
have many local citizens profes^
si-nally qualified for leadership
in public education."
Seven Assumptions
In its written statement the Fel-
lovship included seven “assump
tion.?;" (1) This community w'ould
not vote to close its schools; (2)
The Supreme Couil will not change
its decision: (3) There is compell
ing evidence of the likelihood of
more rather than le.ss court pres
sure toward school desegregation;
(4) There may be legal and legiti
mate requests from local Negroe.s
. . . for school f-eassignment next
year.
“(5) Chapel Hill people want to
avoid confusion, disturbance of
community peace, and disruption
John Alexander, another mem
ber of the Fellowship Committee,
told the School Board "-we feel
that the policy as set is one of
'v/ait and see.’ It doesn't antici
pate any change. We felt there
had to be a long-range realiza
tion that the Court decision has
been made and that .there be
some planning to it.'’
T'he Fellowship asked the School
Board to request its advisory Com
mittee to chart a course of action
for Chapel Hill "that can serve
aj our own response to the local
option given us by the now legal
Pearsall Plan." based on answers
lo the following questions;
Seven Questions
(1) ”. . . What kind of positive
and clearly stated school assign
ment and attendance plan is desir
able?” (2) "Is a re-cvaluation of
proposed locations of schooL* for
expansion and replacement ncces-
saiy?”; (3) "How can more effi
cient use of capital and current ex
penditures be effected?”; (4) W'hat
early adjustments in classroom and
teacher assignment v;ill be neces
sary following a clearly statd
School Board policy of non-segre
gation in pupil assignment?”
(5) ". . . What kinds of prepara
tion should be undertaken ... so
Hawks, the first speaker, urged
growers to try to produce a darker, I
heavier bodied, more aromatic type
of tobacco in 1957 to match tlie ^
trend in the demand for this type
of tobaco on tlie market. He de
clared that the shift from regular'
cigarettes to the filter tip cigar-
eilfcs had changed the demand to
iho darker tobaccos. j
Declaring that one-third of all
flue-cured tobacco grown was be
ing sold to foreign countries,Hawks
emphasized that the foreign market
was built on tlu'ough the years with
full flavored,' aromatic leaf and
slated that the foreign market might
be jeopardized if the trend in pro-
diK-Hig tobacco lacking in flavor
and arAna is continued.
Speaking of the 673 million pounds
of fJiie-ciired tobacco now in tlie
hands of the Stabilization Corpora
tion. Hawks declared tliis surplus
tobacco has been built up over a
period of several years because thej
acreage yields have increased fast
er than acreage cuts. He said that
the disappearance of tobacco has
lieen less each year for the past
several years than used by the
trade caiLsing a gradual surplus of
flue-cured tobacco.
Hawks discussed variety perform
ance briefly pointing out varieties,
both resistant and non-res‘Jstant,
wiiieh produce the heavier-bodied
tobacco, the medium-bodied types,
and the light-bodied types. He made
no specific recommendations, stat
ing that growers should make tlieir
clioice of a variety to grow based
on the best information available.
The tobacco specialist suggested
that .farmers "harvest only the
leaves that are ripe. Get two or
ilu'ee leaves at the time, not five
arc six.” Buyers didn't take much
green tobacco this year, he pointed
Farmers need "more ventilation
in barns so you can dry tobacco
as fast a.s you want too. Heat
doesn't dry tobacco. It takes heat
pins moving ah'. So put more venti
lation in your barns now." he said.
Scott said that “bug control is
one part of your production pro
gram." Using slides, the entomolo
gist discussed wireworms and bud
worms.
•■'Ine cold weather will kill a
lot of Lie bud worms in this coun-
t\. " he said. "But more will eoMie.
We had six times as many in 1956
as wc had in 1955, and it is a lot
more trouble to get rid ^of them
when you've got so many.”
Speaking of poisoning. Scott said
iJ' .vou "get the poison to them you
can kill them. A lot of our equip
ment isn't set up as well as it
could be. Those budworms get m
the bud . . . it's hard to get Hie
poison in to them.”
He suggested that pinching the
poison into the bud was the best
way to get rid of them. Hand spray
ing and puff (lusting is also good,
Seott said.
Wheeler told the farmers that the
Stabilization Corp. bought 298 m.il-
lion pounds, or 18.7 per cent, of
the 1955 leaf crop, and tliat in 1956
Hie corporation bought 320 million
i>ounds, or 20.9 per cent of the crop.
On the Middle Belt, the Stabili
zation Coip. bought 13.5 per cent
of tlie 1955 crop and 28.3 per cent
of the 1956 crop. On the Old Belt,
the corporation bought 9.3 per cent
of the 1955 crop and 19.6 per cent
of the 1956 crop, he said.
The Stabilization Corp. had ”580
million pounds in stock at the end
!)f 1955, and 675 million pounds in
j stock at the end of 1956,” Wiieeler
said. “The county would use about
! 700-odd million pounds in a j’ear,
’ so we have almost a full yeai'’s
1 supply on hand.”
I “The big problem is how far
! we can go, How much tobacco can
we get?” Wheeler questioned,
j “You growers have the responsi-
j bility of supporting the federal pro-
j gram, of producing quality tobacco
i vvith flavor and aroma, aifd of
j Lliscouraging the production of un-
j desirable tobacco,” he said.

"There are four fraternities

“"When the work of these three

Members of the Orange County
.Agricultural and Industrial Com
mission were reappointed for a
new two-year term on Monday bj
the county commissioners and then
handed a new job on a project
which apparently could have far-
reaching eiffect on the county’s
future.
No changes were made in the
28-member group (four from each
township) which was set up in
May of 1955. The new terms ex
pire December 31. 1958.
The new job given the Com
mission was to act as the county’s
liaison with the Cape Fear Basin
Development group in connection
with the activities leading to the
proposed large dam on the Haw
River just below the entrance of
New Hope Creek.
The county has been requested
to supply a vast amount of data
in connection with the project
and lo participate in the hearing
on the project which is scheduled
for February 8 at Fayetteville.
The Commissioners entered in
to# preliminary discussions on the
program.
The proposed dam would in
undate considerable area in tlie
New Hope Crock basin area in
the small corner of the county
to the oast and south of Chapel
Hill and when developed backed-
up water would extend at places
across Highway 54 East and close
lo 15-501 to Durham.,
County and municipal bodies
affected are being asked to pre
sent data at the public hearing.
The proposed dam at the New
Hope site at the maximum plan
ned elevation of 106 feet would in
undate 49..400 acres of land, would
be designed to provide flood con
trol, develop power, provide wat-
'ir supply, provide pollution abate
ment below the dam, etc.
In other actions the commiss
ioners:
Approved a proposed local bill
drawn by Chairman Alex McMahon
of the Chapel Hill Fire District
to permit annexation by petition
of a majority of property owners
rather than the cumbersome elec
tion machinery.
Granted the Corps of Engineers.
U. S. Army, a 10-year-Iease on
Cates Mountain, south of Hills
boro. for the erection of a 120-fooL
radio relay tower, termed by
Area Real Estate Manager An
thony Cole as ‘‘vital to defense.”
The property is now used by the
Forestry Division of ’the Depart
ment of Conservation and Develop
ment as a lookout tower site un
der a 50-year lease from the coun
ty. The new lease to the Army al
ready had the approval of Fores
try Division.
Approved a resolution which
would permit the towns of Chapel
Hill. Hillsboro and Carrboro to
bring their law enforcement of-
officers under social security in
the event of a favorable vote in
the state-wide referendum called
by Governor Hodges among mem
bers of the State Law Enforce
ment Retirement and Benefit
Fund, set for April 15. Only four
members of the Sheriff’s Depart
ment belong to the fund in this
state but other county and munic
ipal law enforcement officals
may be brought under the program
when approved.
