RAY COUNTY COMMISSIONER FOR CONTINUATION OF ORANGE COUNTY'S GOOD GOVERNMENT AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE COST TO THE TAXPAYER (Paid Political Advertisement) Three Features Of Tennis Week Are Announced First three daily features of the Jaycees Tennis Week profit making project next week will in volve running a radio station, pumping gasoline, and the passing out of breakfast cereal samples. The week-long series of fund raising ventures is being staged beginning next Monday to earn money toward a $7,500 budget the Club has .set up to sponsor the nationwide Jaycee Junior and Boys Tennis Championships here Aug. 5-9. On Monday 26 Jaycees will act for one-half hour each as an nouncers over Station WCHL\^ They’ll announce commericials which they have sold to local merchants, and the Club will share the profits from these sales. Bill Kohn and C. W. Etheridge, co-chairmen of the Tuesday pro ject, said that 75 Club members would give out samples of Wheat- ies on a door-to-door basis Tues day night, along with physical fit ness literature. They will also ac cept donations toward the tourna ment expenses, the project chair men said. Three local gasoline stations— Barclay’s University Station, Gard ner’s Sunoco, and Parker’s Glen Lennox Service Station — will be manned by Jaycees all day Wed nesday. In this case again the Club will share the profits from gaso line sales and routine servicje work. Merger Vote (Continued From Page 1) of increased taxes seemed to be a more important issue. The regular White Cross precinct voted against the County-wide school bond issue in 1956, though the proposal car ried substantially in the entire County. And—incidentally, it car ried by a whopping Il-to-one pro portion in Carrboro precinct. Further, the issues of the cam paign would testify that the dis like of higher taxes did not fig ure largely in the Carrboro voting, since merger opposition leaders have proclaimed their support of a supplementary tax for the Carr boro School attendance area alone. Undoubtedly there are a number of other reasons that dictated in which square each voter placed his “X” after the. voting booth curtain was drawn. Among these seem to have been the feeling that Chapel Hill would have benefitted more than Carrboro-White Cross THIS WEEKEND t We Feature Our Low-Calorie Frozen Dessert TRIM Full Half-Gallon Only 59 Special Flavor Strawberry Also 7 Other Delicious Flavors To Choose From THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY Dairyland Farms Glen Lennox Dial 9-8851 W IW 'WHO'S SELLING OUT?'—The Ralph Cheeks, vocal proponents of the passage of the school area merger issue which was defeated in Tuesday's election, woke up yesterday morning to see a 'for sals' sign planted in their front yard at 801 Hillsboro St. — the obvious work of opposition pranksters. Above, the Cheeks, who say they aren't planning on moving anywhere, are seen in front of their home with the crudely-lettered sign board.

According to the official minutes of the meeting last night’s special session was call ed “to decide on appropriate ac tion due to tile failure of the elec tion to merge ...” Cites State Law Mr. Culbreth cited the state’s school law which, he said, required an agreement in writing between the two boards before any out-of- disitrict pupils could be allowed to attend local schools. Upon the passage of this state law in 1955 the Chapel Hill and County Boards adopted such an agreement—which continued the previous status quo. But in the two succeeding years there has not been any such agreement, de spite this law. The local Board hopes to settle the out-of-districit pupil matter, as well as the mass pupil assignment for the coming year, within the next few days—hopefully before the end of the present school year, ac cording to Mr. Culbreth. He point ed out that the hiring of teachers for next yiear would be greatly affected by this matter. As to the general pupil assign ment policy for next year, he said that he anticipated that the Board would re-adopt the existing regula tions, whereby racial segregation iias been maintained. Student Town's First Serious Traffic A University student riding a motor scooter on S. Columbia St. has become Chapel Hill’s first traffic casualty of 1958. Seriously injured, but recover ing satisfactorily at Memorial Hospital is Thomas B. Cornell, 23, sophomore from Key West, Fla. According to information given Policeman James Farrell he was struck by an auto at 5:15 Tuesday afternoon as he passed the en- tiimce to Wilson Hall at the Co lumbia St. - South Road triangle intersection. He was under special care at Briefs (Continued from Pape 1) discussion and/or adoption of pupil assignment regulations. Not only was the door of the school adminis- tratin building closed, but it was locked with a key. WORKMEN CLEANING OUT THE rubble in the burned Presbyterian Church this week lifted out the cen- tury-O'ld church bell. It had almost broken through the balcony floor, so a hole was bashed in at this point and the bell lowered by an electric crane. Cracked almost en tirely around Its circumference, it also showed spots on the rim where it had melted slightly. —Such a fate for the bell which the Church ses sion once voted to donated to the Confederacy to be melted for bul lets. the Hospital for treatment of a concussion and serious lacerations. The patrolman said that the driver of the auto, Archie C. Allen of 8-B Clark Court, 28, had been charged with failure to yield the right-oDway and personal injury. Mr. Allen reportedly told the policeman that he was headed south on Columbia St, preparing to turn left into the Wilson Hall driveway. An oncoifiing truck stopped in front of him, the policeman stat ed. As Mr. Allen turned across in front of the truck he struck the Vicf/fl student on the motji the far lane of traff been partially shielji view. ’I Damage to both v3 ported to be minor. J. EDWARD N.
