War I Material Now on Exhibit important pictorial record of the War contained in. the important three volume "Grosser Bilder Atlas des Welt-Krieges," and French works of a similar na ture. Cartoons of the War are represented not only by many fugitive examples, but also by the fine Century Edition de Luxe of Louis Raemaker's "War Car toons". Interesting Stamps There are many albums of stamps issued during the war, both by the Allies, and by Ger many and Austria. Included in the exhibit also are specimens of books issued especially for the troops offering an illuminating record of the interests of the period. All of these materials on dis play have the color and special interest requisite to draw at tention, but they as a matter of fact offer only a very meager sampling of the richness of the Bowman Gray Collection. Zoning Valkyries Contest Convocation NUMBER 42 Committee last Friday followed refusal of the residents in the zone to permit the reversion of their zone to "B" status. A group of veterans had can vassed the area requesting home owners there to permit the build ing in view of the critical hous ing shortage and the fact that the apartment would be built on the last remaining lot in the area suitable for apartment construc tion. The canvassers met with almost complete opposition. Reasons Given The committee, at last Friday's hearings, then turned down a re quest by Mr. Crawford, represen tatives of the American Vete rans Association and members of the newly formed American Vet erans Committee chapter to grant special permission to build. Rea sons given were (1) that the ma jority of the people in the area opposed it, (2) that the addition of one apartment house won't solve the housing problem, (3) that the veteran problem is tem porary but that the residents would have to live in the area all of their lives, (4) that the apart ment house would lower real es tate values, and (5) there are other places in "B" zones in which to build. Private Building The veterans had asked that the committee take the initiative in encouraging private capital to build in Chapel Hill, and that the problem of zoning be applied taking into cognizance the expan sion of Chapel Hill with the ex pansion of the University, which in the long run will result in ris ing real-estate values, a phenom 3non that is very marked already.
