For Solo Hike Over Sierras
Playmaker Chief Treks 100
Miles Over Mountains at Dai
ly Expense of $3.04
By R. W. Madry
Returning to their desks this
week, University professors,
who vacationed or taught in
other sections during the sum
mer, brought back some inter
esting stories, but to Dr. Fred
erick H. Koch, director of the
Carolina Playmakers, must go
the laurels for the best adven
ture story.
Hiking for six days alone and
afoot over the trails of the High"
Sierras above the Yosemite Val
ley, Dr. Koch slept under the
stars at night, ate his fill of pal
atable mountain trout, frater
nized with wild, jdeer and bears,
bathed in the cooling waters of
the mountain lakes and the
cost per day for the whole out
ing was only $3.04.
Wild Animals
The trail Dr. Koch took cov-
ered about 100 miles of moun
tain wilderness, and he traveled
at the rate of about 15 miles a
day. Occasionally he met pack
trains, mounted mountain
climbers or fishermen, but his
chief companions along the way
were wild animals.
-
The deer and Dears were
friendly enough," he replied to
a question. "They would stop
and look me over, as' if they
thought me somewhat 01 a cu-
riositv. and then continue on
their way."
The hike was over a govern
ment reservation, and travelers

NEWPOSTOFFICE
IS ASSURED HERE
Eubanks Says Present
Stand Inadequate
According to a statement
made recently in the Chapel
Hill Weekly, Chapel Hill is to
have a new postoff ice.
No decision has been made yet
however, as to size, cost or type
of building the new structure
will be, nor has it been decided
when construction will begin.
According to Postmaster Rob
ert A. Eubanks, the present
structure is too small to accom
modate the growing volume of
Chapel Hill mail and his state
ment was verified by a postal in
spector, from Washington who
recommended a new building.
"For a while, after it was set
tled that we must have more
space, the department consid
ered putting an addition at the
rear of the present building,"
stated Mr. Eubanks. Tour en
gineers came at different times,
to study the structural and the
operating aspects of the prob
lem. Termites had done consid
erable damage, and there were
other conditions that would
make a great deal of reconstruc
tion necessary.
The experts' finally came to
the conclusion that an addition
would not meet the permanent
needs of the office here, and
that a new building was the only
satisfactory solution of the prob
lem' concluded Mr. Eubanks.
