Filing deadline for candidates
in the School Board election will
be noon. Friday, March 20. Reg
,istration books will be open at
polling places on Saturdays, April
l3, 20, and q. Saturday, May 4
will be challenge day. The cleo
tion will be Tuesday, May z.
The Chapel Hill Aldermen are
expected to decide Monday wheth-
ef ef To To hold hold re-registratinn in ali
Town precincts. or TO realign the
registration books in the various
Town precincts.
AT their last meeting the Alder
men voted to realign the Town
precincts to coincide with the
County precincts. There had been
hope that the Town could use the
County's registration books, be-
cause the precinct boundaries
would be identical. This will not
be possible, however. because the
County precincts extend beyond
the Town limits.
Town Manager Robert Peck
said only three of the present six
County precincts which lie partly
inside the Town limits could con-
ceivsbly lie entirely inside the
Town in the foreseesble future.

WeStwood.
The effect Of this is that voters
living inside the Chapel Hill
School District but outside the
Town will vote only for school
officials. Voters living inside
the Town will vote for both Town

In-Town voters will also vote

Much UIness.
Not Much Flu

From all appearances, Chapel
Hill has a good deal Of winter
illness, but not a great deal of
genuine flu.
School cciifoof Superintendent Howard
Thompson, before going out Of
town last week, left instructions
for school principals to report to
High School Principal Miss May
Marshbanks if school absences
due 10 flu reached 20 per cent Of
the student body. Miss Marsh
banks has received no reports.
District Health officer DR.. O.
David Garvin confirms h a t
there are a lot of people sick,
to varying degrees. But where
flu begins and ends is difficult to
say. In all probability we have
had cases of Asian flu, but it's
hard to estimate numbers. We
have had number of cases of
exaggerated illness that could be
Asian flu or pneumonia"
At the University Infirmary,
DR.. L. McG. Hedgpeth has fewer
cases in his wards than last week.
ITS very quiet he said
DR.. Hedgpeth said it would be
impossible to tell whether he had
had cases of Asian flu without
conducting tests, which take time
10 produce results. w..
He said that at this time Of
year, Its always true that there
are a lot Of respiratory troubles
around which resemble flu but

times he speaks like a press hand

Sometimes he gets down quite
close to the burlap of things and

Lamyer Fee
Settlement
IsReached

The protracted fight to keep
Duke Power Company high volt
age transmission lines out of Nor
san Creek finally was concluded
this week.
The final round actually was an
antl-climaX. Duke Power had an
nounced on Jan. 10 that it would
abandon the proposed route
through Morgan Creek, although
Orange Superior Court already had
awarded $ll9,250 in damages for
rights-of-Way
lie last question to be settled
was attorney fees and other ex-
penses incurred by Morgan Creek
property owners in fighting the
line.
The question was settled here
Monday in a meeting between
attorneys for the property owners
and Duke Power, with Mayor
Sandy McClamroch lending his
good Offices for the Town.
Following the private meeting.
Judge William S. Stewart. the al
torney for Morgan Creek Land
Company, Of which he is also a
shareholder, said the property
owners and Duke Power had
agreed on a settlement and the
judgment was now being circulat-
ed among the parties involved
for approval of the wording. Judge
Stewart did not elaborate ex-
cept to say that this was the
final issue to be settled in the
Morgan Creek power line fight.
The sum agreed upon to pay
the property owners attorney
lees and other expenses preSum-
ably will be subtracted from the
$ll9,25O Duke Power had deposit
ed with the clerk of Orange Sup
erior Court. There was no an
n0uncement of the sum agreed
on, but it was reported by two
sources, to be around $4,000.
Duke Power declined to COM
ment On the settlement or the
negotiations leading up to it.
The judgment rendered. by
Judge Hamilton HobgoOd was al
most 100000 more than Duke
offered to pay for damages the
line would cause, and less than
one-tenth Of the amount the land
owners had originally claimed.
Three court-appointed commits
S.OnerS awarded $l58,000 last
spring. Both sides appealed this
award.
