FIRST STEP in the making of molasses?mountain style?is to put syrup cane in
a cane mill as is being done here on the W. J. McCrary farm on the Big Branch road
in CAbtree community. After the juice is squeezed from the cane, it goes first into
a vat and thence Hons through a pipeline into a barrel on the evaporation unit.
AFTER FLOWING into the barrel at right. the cane juice is cooked in the evap
orator units for approximately one hour before being converted into molasses. An
elongated stone fieplace provides the heat for the evaporator. While cooking, the
molasses is kept in motion by operators with wooden paddles.
BEADY FOR BISCUITS is this molasses being poured into gallon cans by M. J.
McCrary. who is averaging produetion of 50 gallons a day of the flowing confec
tion, and has turned out as much as 106 gallons in one day. He will spend about
one month in making 1,200 gallons.. (Mountaineer Photos).
W. C. Friday, New President
Of UNC, Must Like No. 13
By PETE IVEY
CHAPEL HILL ? Bill Friday
isn't the slightest bit superstitious
about Friday being an unlucky
day of the week.
He also counts the number 13
as an omen of good will toward
his success.
"Isn't it true that people you
meet often make a point of say
ing something about your name
being the fifth day of the week?
Do they facetiously remark on
'My Man Friday' and do they ever
call you Friday the thirteenth?
Does this annoy you?"
"I'm used to it "* Bill Friday]
smiled. "It's only noticeable
when people don't say anything
about Friday 13th, black cats and
Robinson Crusoe."
As a matter of fact, the nune
ber 13 has done very well for
William C. Friday, who last Thurs
day was endorsed by the executive
committee of the Board of Trus
tees to be the next President of
the Consolidated University of
North Carolina.
He was born on the 13th of the
month ? July 13, 1920.
He was married on the 13th.
He came to work for the Univer
sity of North Carolina on the 13th.
He became Acting President of
the University on the 13th.
If named by the trustees next

upset the applecart on Friday as a
risky day of the week.
It could be that each Friday the
thirteenth will deserve celebration
in North Carolina as a symbol of
bigger and finer things in higher
education in the state.
