RITMOR OF SPLIT
IN NH rOMRRE
nV tI11X11 OUIIAUilNu
It is Said That One DairymaH
Has Decided Not to Con-
tinue 2O-cent Price
MAYOR NAMES COMMITTEE

1t is reported on what seems
to be good authority that one of
the Chapel Hill dairymen has
decided to split away from the
Others and reduce his price from
the 20-cents-a-quart figure
which all the dairymen put into
effect January 1. Whether he
intends to go all the way back
to last years price of Is cents
is not known.
AT the request of several con-
sumers of milk, Mayor Council
has appointed a citizens com
mittee to discuss the problem.
He invited the dairymen to con-
fer with this group, and the
conference was scheduled to
take place yesterday afternoon
(after this newspaper went to
press). The mayor himself acts
as chairman. The committee is
composed of D. D. Carroll, Carl.
Durham, Moody Durham, r. A.
Eubanks, Addison Hibbard. and
the towns health officer, DIR. S.
A. Nathan.
The increase in the price of
milk was brought before the al
.dermen by D. D. Carroll at their
meeting Monday evening. Mr..
Carroll, speaking on behalf of
himself and a number of other
consumers with whom he had
been in consultation, said:
we realize, of course, that
the regulation of the price of
milk does not lie with the alder
men, and, in a strictly legal
sense, dairy service may not be
a public utility But it is a
matter of general public con-
Germ, and we feel that it would
be appropriate for the mayor to
appoint a committee OF citizens
and invite the dafrymen to meet
them and talk the problem over"
The aldermen approved the
suggestion and advised the may
or to arrange the meeting,
. There has been some talk to
the effect that the increase in
price, made simultaneously by
all the dairymen, might call for
an investigation by the states
legal department under the
North Carolina antitrust law;
but the disposition of the citi-
zens who have displayed most
interest in the matter seems to
be to try to arrive at a solution
without recourse to legal action.

No coming football game between
the ancient rivals, San Benito and
Brownsville high schools, Il drawing
as much interest as the battle Of
Friday week, in this city.
In doping out or trying to. at least.
IL Is a very hard matter to be cor
rect on any athletic elub-and es-
pecially so on high school football
eievens.
The majority of fans are too prone
10 criticize high school players. Re-
| member they are just kids-and we
contend they are not expected TO do
the right thing at the right time al
ways. A too harsh criticism hurled
at one Of these kids because Of a
mistake on his part of judgment, may
ruin his career as a player.
AS long as the players hustle, are
loyal to their coach. why then. there
shouldn't be any kick. Some players
are better than others, individually.
because they possess, say more speed
others have that all important as
set, called football instinct"
We are in receipt Of the following
, from |. III. Hollingsworth principal

gen:
Il notice in the Sport Forum in
your column in the Brownsville

day. the following clipping, with ref

back of the junior high school foot
ball team. ! personally agree with
the writer as 20 Jimmie's pluck and
football instinct, but wish TO make
this correction: He il not on the
high school team. has never been on
the high school team and did not
play in the Brownsville game in
Brownsville, November 2. etc"
This letter was in reference to a
paragraph in this column. in which
Jimmie Lawrence was praised. and
we believe rightfulIy 50. We gladly
make the correction that he did not
play in the Observation-Disclosures
senior game here last week. IN NAM
ing the substitutions used by Harlin-
gen. our informer. got mixed up on
names, and caused L~awrence's name
