The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond reports May debits rose in most North and South Carolina cities. Charlotte led with 353.31 million dollars, a four percent increase. Durham 93.01 million, up 16 percent. Raleigh 168.32 million, about unchanged. Greensboro 118.10 million, up 10 percent. Winston-Salem 137.21 million, up five percent. The data reflect the value of checks written against demand deposits. In Raleigh a Civil Air Patrol search-rescue operation began with about 50 planes, part of North Carolina's fifth annual mission, as 400 CAP volunteers from 28 squadrons assist in aerial search operations. More than 400 CAP members participated, with pilots and ground crew briefed by Maj. Don Harry of Charlotte, CAP mission commander. Meanwhile at Chapel Hill some 300 high school students prepare for Tar Heel Boys State, hosted by the American Legion and driven by UNC’s Institute of Government, running Sunday to next Saturday.
