County Decides to Buy
Site for a School Out
On the Raleigh Highway
About a Mile from Town

An item OF $8, 900 has been In
cnded in this years Orange
county budget for the purchase
of an elementary school site.
The county's purpose, which
has been officially approved by
the Chapel Hill school board, is
to buy q. tract of some 8 or 10
acres about a mile from town.
It is to the right of the Raleigh
highway as you leave Chapel
Hill, opposite Oakwood and the
new housing development for
314 families that is to get under
way this summer.
The tract was offered to the
county by w. C. Coker at con-
siderably less than the market
value of land in that area on the
condition that it be used for q
school. Since that is the only
thing the county wants it for
and, since the money for the
purchase is in the budget, the
transaction is as good as settled.

the towns corporate limits, b

Dogs Good Timing at
Roundup Of Talent

The conspicuous presence Of
dogs at spectacles. ceremonies,
and entertainments is a long
familiar feature of life in Chapel
Hill, but never before was the
timing of dogs public appear
ance SO perfect as on last Friday
evening in Memorial hall.
1t was the final evening of the
six-day Talent Round Up" and
an enthusiastic audience filed
the hall.
Chabay, the. Metropolitan
Opera singer, was the opening
performer on the program. The
Master of Ceremonies, after
giving Mr.. Chabay a proper
eulogy, said: Il now take pleas
ure in introducing our first ar
tist-"
Just as he spoke these words
"a dog emerged from the audi
ence, walked up the steps to
the platform, and stood beside
him.
The crowd roared. The NC.
was also an MS. Master of the
Situation). He smiled, leaned
over, patted the dog on the
head, and ad-libbed something
to the effect that the dog,
though welcome, was not the
first artist" he had been talk
ing about. Somebody came out
OF the wings and led the dog of
the stage. Mr.. Chabay appeared
and sang.
Russell Grumman, who, with
Norman Gordon, was protector
and manager of the Talent
Round-U said afterward that

whom he belonged to. "We dom

Size Of Bond
Issue to Be
Voted on Is
Under Debate

What will be the amount of
the bond issue that the Orange
county commissioners will sub
nit to the voters of the county
This is a question to which
the commissioners, the county
board of education, and school
officials these in particular, but
other citizens too-are giving
serious thought. The commits
sioners and the board of educa-
tion held a joint meeting last
Friday night to discuss the sub
ject, and to hear the opinions
of school people and other citi-
zens; and they expect to meet
again before the end of the
month. 1t is for the commission
ers to decide the amount of the
bond issue to be put to a vote ;
they make their decision at this
joint meeting or they may de-
fer it till their regular meeting
on the first of August.
The need for school buildings
is, of course, the main reason for
a bond issue. Except for a wing
of the high school building here
in Chapel Hill and four rooms
added to the Negro school in
Hillsboro, Orange county has
not put up any school buildings
for about fifteen years. In this
period the school population has
had a large increase; not only
that, but three school buildings
have been destroyed by fire, and
others have deteriorated. The
result is q condition of over
crowding that is really Disgrace
full.
At the meeting last Friday
night the county board of edu-
cation declared that 81, 900, 900,
in addition to the 100000 that
is to come from the State, is
needed Immediately for new
school buildings. The board of
education has proposed dlvi-
sion of the 81, 100000 between

Mrs. Jack OZenna was drowned early Sunday morning in Snake River due to unusual weather con- dition. Mrs. Ozenna, who is well known in the community-having lived here most of her life, was among the many natives, probab- ly hundred or more, who were fishing on the new ice which formed at the mouth of Snake River Saturday. She arose before daylight on Sunday morning to get an early start at her tom-cod fishing. She followed the custom ary path on the Sand Spit to the west end of the south revetment where she set out on the river ice. During the night the weather had changed and the ice had broken up. As she was unaware of the freakish ice condition she went through the ice.
