President Sets
.0iIInlportLin

President Eisenhower today
invoked the Buy American Act
to put teeth into a voluntary
program setting quotas on
crude oil imports into this
country.
He issued an executive order
banning purchase by any Gov
eminent agency Of any petro-
leum products imported by a
company which is not comply
ing with the voluntary oil i'm
port program.
At the same time, the Presi-
dent approved a report by a
special cabinet committee set
ting the total amount of crude
oil that may be imported under
the program at $4,000 barrels
per day, effective April 1. Since
last July the quota had been
77l,400 barrels a day.
The import ALLEGATIONS were
set at about IL per cent of
domestic crude oil production
during the past three months.
This was the same percentage
OF domestic production figures
applied to effect the larger
quota last July. But domestic
production has declined in the
meantime.
Government officials said APP
proximately $4,000 to 10000
barrels of crude oil per day
have been imported by COM
panies not complying with the
voluntary agreement fixing
import ALLEGATIONS.
The Presidents executive
order forbidding Government
buying of oil Imported outside
the quota ALLEGATION program
was described as "a method of
making it advisable" for bring
ing the ''recalcitrant" oil COM
panies into line.
The reduced import alloca-
tons approved today apply
only to regions east of the
Rocky Mountains.
For the area west Of the
Rockies an import quota Of
200, 900 barrels a day was set
last December. Officials said
imports in that area have been
running considerably less than
that and were not considered
any particular threat to do
nestle producers.

ours-is not just the work of those
of us who are meeting here today.
Many people and much effort over
a number of years have helped to
make this library a reality. The
records do not indicate the exact
date when people first started
talking of having library here,
but it was during the 1905 that
hey did something about it,
The American Association Of
University Women-with help from
the University Library and the
Library School-made a commun-
ity study, group of citizens repre-
Senting l9 local organizations met
together and raised some money,
and a community library for chill
iren was established. Soon after
it was opened il was named the
Mary Bayley Pratt Children's Ii,
brary.
After a year in the Episcopal
Parish House this library was
moved to the Chapel Hill Ele-
mentary School, and there for
almost 80 years it served as the
only library for children in Chapel
Hill. receiving community inter
est and support throughout its
service. With various changes In
the schools the Board Of the Mary
Bayley Pratt Association earlier
this year decided 10 discontinue
its connection with the Element
airy School and give all its books
to the School Board to be divided
| among the school libraries ir
town. And as soon as a Chape
Hill Public Library was assured
the Mary Bayley Pratt Boart
asked to become part OF tn
Public Library. Remembering it
1aong service to the community tn
Board OF Trustees OF the Public
Library was pleased to grant thl
request. and in order to perpetu

THIS N That

That question mark Is asking
what time Of year 1t was Sun
day, April 9th. When Danny, Jr.
looked out Of the window early
Easter morning and groaned, I
wondered what he was looking at
down on the ground. Being a cur
ious one, I, too looked down as
he said, "oh, no, not THAT! I
felt the same way but for diff
ferent reason. That white on the
ground about two or three inches
deep and that other white coming
down whirling around on a so
mile wind was something to look
at on Easter morning. BY now, you
know we were having a snow
storm that was Of a blizzard style.
It was really a cold blustery morn
ing. Danny was wondering how
he was going to find the eggs
his parents had hidden and l was
thinking of all the little children
and youngsters who would be so
disappointed If they could not
wear their new spring outfits to
to church.
Believe II or not Easter never
saw such a parade before! / must
say, though, the majority Of
women wore their fur coats. but
here and there was a very brave
soul who felt she had her new
outfit and wind or no wind, she
shivered and "froze" but she wore
it! She really needed a light coat
on because trying to hold her hat
on her head kept her warm. First
she grabbed the pill box" hat and
then she pulled at her coat trying
to close it to keep the wind from
tearing it off of her. BY this Tins
she had to grab her hat again
BY now she had crossed the street
from her car and was really worn
out but happy and smiling as
though she was saying, well.
here l am, look at me-"
When she walked in the church
she did not feel so gay as she
looked around at all of the fur
coats, winter hats and galoshes!
All in all II was so nice to
notice the women dressed as they
wanted to dress. and all Of them
looked nice, whether they were
dressed in winter, spring, summer
or fall outfits.
The churches were full but not
to overflowing. Many had braved
the early morning services, too.
Today, there are very few traces
of the snow. The sun is out but
the chill is still in the air. Typical
Minnesota weather, today.
Charles and Josie Johnson:
Everything happened to you
over the week end. You were
trying to get settled in your new
home, Charles had to go away
