SUNDAY.MARCH 5, 1950 AGE FOUR Week 27 Y s No Specialty Helps Honor Anniversary Roberl W Madry The Chapel Hill Weekly made its first appearance March 1, 1923. So it was 27 years old this week.

"But," he wrote, "my not call ing on you to finance a special edition is not due at all to my compassion for you and your pocketbooks.

These are the Methodist and Presbyterian Supper Co-operatives, which meet Monday through Thursday nights in local churches. Each member is expected to help either cook or clean-up one night a week. . The food is plentiful in quantity and, as might be expected, variable in quality. The charge, 50 cents a night, is large enough that a suprlus each term is left over for some charity chosen by the members. At first sight this might ap pear to be just a poor man's. Lenoir Hall. To its members, however, it is something quite different. . -Members of the ly lastos fives years longer and reaches the age of 25, I am going to get out a special edition and nick you good and plenty." But when the 25th anniversary arrived he had changed his mind about it, and there was no spe cial edition. So, the merchants are still unnicked except for their regular advertisements. The exceptional quality of the Weekly has made it famous. Probably no other newspaper is ",u,c wwoieu m me oiate press, and its editorials and articles are often picked up by papers outside the State. Every week or so for years the New York Sun had an article based on something in the Week ly, and the Baltimore Sun papers have had articles about it and have reprinted scores of its edi torials and stories. 'A comment on it in the New York Tijries was that it was "unique in'l&riiicrican journalism." And the NWYork Herald Tribune once declared: ''What 'the country needs is Tnore papers like the Chapel Hill Week ly." Author Noel Houston's opinion UNIVERSITY CLEANERS Across from Post Office Phones 4921-9901 This supper co-ops try to put into practice the conviction that it is better to cooperate .than to compete wherever possible in doing daily tasks, better to do a thing for oneself when con-x venient than to hire someone to do it for one. This spirit of cooperation and human fellowship toward which the supper co-ops strive is the same spirit that has been responsible for the tre mendous growth, of co-bpefa-.tives of all . kindS in recent years. ' ' In addition, the supper co operatives serve the function the members. In furtherance of broadening and educating of this, the co-ops have kept the welcome mat out for. pro spective members of every academic, religious, racial, or social background. of the Weekly has a ' special sig nmcance because he is an ex perienced newspaperman. For years he was on the staff of the Scripps-Howard paper, the Okla homa News-Herald, and later he was State and Sunday editor of the Daily Oklahoman, one of the largest newspapers of the South west. Since he moved to Chapel Hil several years ago he has devoted himself fainly to writing stories for the New Yorker and other magazines, and to novel-writing, But he confesses that he's stiL a newspaperman at heart. In preparation for the article about the weekly, we. asked Houston to jot down some of his opinions, and this Ms what he wrote: "It's the Chapel Hill Weekly'; birthday, a happy occasion, and I'll come right out and say it The Weekly is, and has been, for a long time, just about my fav orite newspaper.

Garments lojok and feel like-new again. thday; s Local Weekly Has Achieved Great Fame work until I have read it from beginning to end. ' "Louis Graves and his staff bring me upto date on the impor tant community things that are happening in Chapel Hill, such as news of the schools, the town government, building operations, dope on festivals, meetings, trav els and achievements of local citizens, both faculty and town. "They do more than that. "I enjoy good writing, espec ially good newspaper writing. And the journalistic prose of the Weekly is top-notch. It makes me, happy just to read the words and sentences, regardless of the subject matter. Its reportorial style would improve the tone and readability of any newspaper that copied it. "But I doubt if the style could be copied, because it essentially is the style of one man, Louis Graves, and it has been ham mered out of long experience, with much sweating at the type writer, and, most important, out of one man's attitude toward life and people and the purpose of a weekly newspaper in a small town. Of course, it's easy to say that the Chapel Hill Weekly has a 'flavor,' that it is ''whimsical,' and 'humorous,' with little pieces about animals and birds and how-the-flowers-are-bloom ing-now. It carries a lot of that kind of stuff, always neatly writ ten, and I enjoy most of it. Some of those pieces are real gems. "But the Weekly also has a slant on straight reporting that is refreshing. I keep scissors and paste on my desk (when the children haven't made off with them) and hardly a week goes by tnat I don't clip a story air two to send to some newspaper managing editor or magazine editor acquaintance, either for his personal enjoyment or to pro vide a possible idea for a local yarn." -Legislature- (Continued jrom page 1) the regular student governmental administrative agencicsr appro priate mbney turned over to it by the Summer School Dean, pass all necessary rules, and sit as a Student Council to hear ap peals from the Honor Council.

March 4 (JP) Two New York stale 'teen agers, with a warming zeal for canasta, got married in Michi gan today - with all sorts of official co-operation, - Arthur Carlsley, 18, of Hone oye, and Priscilla Manning, IS, of Rochester said they came to Michigan because an old alma- nac idrised the stale had no five-day pre-marital .wailing pe riod. But the almanac was wrong, they found when they arrived in an old car with $20 and a puppy. They couldn't get a license. So they went to Flint police and asked them to care for the dog. Police assented. Three days later deputies found them parked on a coun ty road. Then deputy William Mclnlyre let them stay at his home for the necessary five days after Priscilla's once-ob-' jecting mother gave her assent by phone. The newly weds, reclaiming the puppy from" police, said they'd spent the three days in the the car. But they hadn't really gotten very cold, they said, despite near-zero tempera tures outsides. They'd whiled away the time playing canasta.
