NORTH ORANGE
CRE AM ROUTE
Will Run From Hillsboro to St.
Mary’s and Thence Along
Schley Road
BURLINGTON THE MARKET
A new cream route has been
established in the northern
l>art of Orange county. It will
run from Hillsboro to St. Mary’s
schoolhouse, thence to the
Schley road, and along the
Schley road to Hillsboro.
The collection of sour cream
is to begin at once. The Bur
lington creamery, where the
farmers around Chapel Hill
have been selling their cream,
will be the market. It will take
all the sour cream north Or
ange people offer, and will pay
them good prices based upon the
content of butter fat.
Years ago there was a cream
route in the upper end of the
county, but it was discontinued.
The recent success of the cow
owners around Chapel Hill,
which lias demonstrated the
success of the scheme, is large
ly responsible for the revival.
A. C. Kimrey, the assistant
State director of dairy exten
sion, went over the ground this
week and, as a result of his trip,
is enthusiastic about the pros
pects.
"I don’t know any region that
has a better chance to make a
success of dairying than north
Orange,” said Mr. Kimrey yes
terday. ‘The soil is rich, the
grazing plentiful, the climate
just right. Not even the sec
tions which have made the
greatest success of butter-pro
duction are superior to the
country I saw here this week.”
It is calculated that there are
along the new route 100 cows
all of whose product should be
available for the market. These
are over and above the 50 that
are needed to supply the farm
ers all they need for their own
home consumption.
What has been done around
Mooresville in Iredell county
shows what can be accomplish
ed in Orange. Ten years ago
a creamery was established
there. The first churning turn
ed out 80 pounds of butter. To
day SII,OOO a month, or about
$150,0#0 a year, is paid to the
farmers around Mooresville by
the creamery. This is in a ter
ritory smaller than Orange coun
ty and no more favorable to
dairying.

The other night at the supper
of the Men’s Club the president,
Rev. A. S. Lawrence, looked
around in search of somebody
to lead off with the singing.
His eye lit upon our table, and
ihe said: “Mr. Toy, will you
| start us on ‘There’s a long, long
trail a-winding’?” Now, Mr.
Carter, who is byway of being
a celebrated singer, was sitting
next to the professor of German,
and I thought he looked a bit
surprised that the invitation fell
upon a pew-sitter instead of a
choir-sitter. Mr. Toy was ac
; eommodating abut it, but visibly
I embarrassed. He did well with
the job, but I believe he would
| rather it fall to Mr. Carter the
; next time.

MORE APPROVAL
OF THE STADIUM
Alumni Continue to Urge Bet
ter Provision for Crowds at
Athletic Events
GEN. CARR LIKES SCHEME
The suggestion that the Uni
versity should have a great sta
dium, to accommodate the ever
growing crowds at athletic con
tests, continues to bring forth
messages of approval from
alumni.
approval from alumni.
Angus Wilton McLean writes
from his home* in Lumberton:
“1 have read your editorial about
the stadium with great interest
and I am in hearty accord with
it. As I stated before the Alum
ni Association in Fayetteville in
October, I believe that in ten
years the University will have
at least s,Out) students, and that
the attendance will steadily in
crease in future years. Athletic
contests will grow in import
ance as the University expands.
I believe it is only a question of
time when a larger place to
stage these contests will be a
prime necessity. Even now, the
present facilities are entirely
inadequate.”
George Stephens of Ashe
ville, a former University ath
lete and for the last score of
years one of the most active
men in alumni affairs, writes
that the idea ought to be “put
across” without delay.
Mr. Stephens’ letter will be
published in the next issue of
the Weekly, two weeks hence.
General Julian S. Carr is an
other who is strong for it. Loy
al citizen of Durham though he
is, he is not in sympathy with
the proposal that his home city
should attempt, by building a
stadium, to draw thither the
University’s big games.
“The University by all odds
is the place to erect the stadium
or howl,” he writes to the edi
tor. "Tell Greensboro and Dur
ham to keep off the grass.” The
rest of General Carr’s letter is
as follows:
I quote from your editorial
these words: ‘We simply must
have an enclosure adequate for
the accommodation of vaster
ciowds than have gathered thus
far. 1 have been absent from
home, and so was unable to give
endorsement earlier to your wise
plan. A stadium at Durham or
at Greensboro does not meet the
question at all. We must have
a bowl at the University suffi
ciently large to meet the Uni
versity s needs. 1 believe that
Honorable W. N. Everett is
right when he says a stadium
oi bowl can bu buiit.by alumni
subscribing for shares of stock,,
with the right to seats.”

Woman in Distress Gets Aid
After Publication of Appeal,
But a Larger Fund Is Needed
Many Readers of the Weekly Send In Contributions to Help
Widow. Arrangement Is Made For Treatment
In a Sanatorium
Generous response has been
made to the appeal, published
last week, for money to aid an
Orange county woman recent
ly stricken with tuberculosis.
Every mail has brought in h few
checks—some of them from out
of-town subscribers. It is hoped
that the contributions will con
tinue to come, since a larger
fund is needed.
Arrangement has been made
to have the woman taken into a
sanatorium and to receive ex
pert treatment for the disease.
It is thought that she can be
cured in a few months and re
turn home to take care of her
four children. The fund now
Menus On Collars
Innovation at Feast Where Mr. Paul
sen Is Host
G. H. Paulsen, who is always
! springing something new on the
community, scored again last
Friday night at the annual
week-before-Christmas feast to
i the force of the University laun
dry. The party was given in
the Gooch banquet hall.
Mr. Paulsen had the menus
written out on starched collars
—just the plain article of com
merce. The ends of each collar
| were held together by a button,
and the diner slipped it up over
. jus coat sleeve as a sort of ex
i terior cuff.
It was a fine blow-out. Char
i lie Gooch was there in person
superintending the distribution
of chicken gumbo aux croutons,
roast chicken, sky-blue whipped
cream, and all the rest of the
dainties.
The guests of honor were Rev.
A. S. Lawrence, H. D. Meyer, H.
F. Comer, and A. 11. Smart, man
ager of a laundry in Durham, P.
C. Froneberger, by reason of his
success as University cheer
leader, was invited to serve as
toastmaster. He gave a much
less acrobatic performance than
he is accustomed to display at
football games, but none the less
effective.. There were 38 laun
dry workers present, 17 of
whom were self-help students..
Tile cashier,*Mrs. Evelyn Smith,
made a speech in which she told
that the University handled
43,000 pieces of clothing a week
and had lost only 27 this entire
fall—and most of these 27 were
recovered in the end.
Mr. Comer, in his talk, said
that <i the 2,200 students in
the University 1,500 earned part
or all of their expenses by do
ing various kinds of jobs.'

Cedar Grove School
New Building to He Ready About
February Ist.
It is expected that the new
school, building near Cedar
Grove will be ready for occu
pancy about the first of Febru
ary. This building contains
eight classrooms, a large stage,
and an auditorium. It will have
a heating plant, sewage dis
posal, electric lights, running
water and, when completed, will
be one of the best school buil
dings in this county.
The school site contains five
acres of level land which is suf
ficient for playgrounds. Af
ter this year several smaller
schools nearby will be discon
tinued and the children who live
too far to walk will be transport
ed to and from school in school
trucks. This consolidation will
not take place this year, how
ever, as no provision has been
made for transportation. Local
tax has been voted for the main
tenance of an eight-months
term. This school should with
in two or three years become a
standard high school.

State Gets Boys’ Records

The records of the farming
enterprises of about 60 boys of
the Chapel Hill school wiil be
: sent to the State’s agricultural
I department in Raleigh within a
few days. Every boy who takes
the agricultural course has to
carry on an enterprise of hjs
'Own. He is required to keep a
| record of just what he does, how
much he spends, and how much
money he takes in from the sale
:of his product. This is in line
with the plan of the State gov
ernment to encourage business
like farming methods.
