Vot. 16, No. 2 Crawford Plans Lake as Feature Os Development Coker and Sparrow Have Nearby Tracts on Ridge to West of Chapel Hill-Durham Road 55-ACRE WATER SURFACE A lake with a surface area of 55 acres, plenty of fish, and swimming and boating; homes on the wooded hillsides nearby; and maybe a clubhouse; all within three miles of Chapel Hill—this is the development that W. S. Crawford is planning for a ridge-and-valley tract off to the north and west of the Durham highway (to the left as you go toward Durham). Mr. Crawford visualizes a home colony and recreation re sort for University of North Carolina and Duke University faculty members and other peo ple in Chapel Hill and Durham. The land which Mr. Crawford owns and has under option comprises 400 acres along the “watershed of Booker’s creek, the stream that flows under the two-mile bridge. The proposed lake area is beyond the ridge that is seen from the highway at Harwood’s dairy farm. Adjoining the Crawford prop erty on this side are a 210-acre tract owned jointly by W. C. Coker and the Isaac Pritchard estate and a 22-acre tract of which 14 acres is owned by W. C. Coker and 8 acres by Jack Sparrow. Mr. Sparrow, who is Mr. Coker’s agent, and Mr. Crawford took me out one day this week to show .me the lay of the land.

The other day her father took her to’visit Nancy Bailey, with whom she was to stay until he came back for her. He saw her run to the door, waited a min ute or two, and then drove off to his classroom on the campus. About half an hour later Clafre entered her home, far out to the south of Chapel Hill. Her mother, astonished, asked: “Why, darlin', how did you get here?" The slender and golden haired girl was pate and had lit tle beads of perspiration on her forehead. She answered faintly: “I walked." There had been nobody at the Baileys'. Obviously* the only thing to do was to go home, and so, with the automobiles whizz ing past, she had trudged the long mile and more down the Pittsboro highway. When her mother asked her if she had had any trouble crossing the streets and the roads she said: M I just waited, and looked-both ways, and kept on waitin’ till I didn’t see any ears." Rotarians Hear Limericks Nicholson B.

They were recommended by a unanimous vote of a committee composed of President Graham; R. B. House, dean of adminis tration; R. A. Fetzer, director of athletics; Oliver Cornwell, di rector of physical education; Hwry Comer, chairman of the seli-help committee; Frdficis Bradshaw, chair&an of the loan committee; A. W. Hobbs, dean of the college of liberal arts and chairman of the athletic coun cil; D. D. Carroll, dean of the school of commerce and chair man of the' scholarship commit tee ; and H. D. Wolf, member of the faculty committee on ath letics. A subcommittee made up of Messrs. Hobbs, Carroll, and Bradshaw first prepared* regula tions. Their report was then discussed by the full committee, and every proposal that did not receive unanimous approval in the committee was stricken out Farm Women of Orange County Move Their Market from Carrboro into Chapel Hill The Orange County Women’s Market has moved from Carr boro to Chapel Hill. It will open tomorrow (Saturday) morning in the old Methodist church building at the corner of Hen derson street and Rosemary lane (one block down from the poet office). Organized last summer, for the purpose of providing an out let for products of farms in this county, the market has been a great success. Since mid-Sep tember, it began opera tions, the sales have averaged $l2O a week. The market is open on Saturday only, except that sometimes it opens on the day before a holiday. About 20 farm women have been selling regularly. Others offer their products from time to time. * Poultry lfeads in the total Vol ume of sales. Cakes come sec ond, third. Other things that can be bought at the mar ket are butter, fresh vegetables and fruits in season, home canned fruits and vegetables. The enterprise is the result of the cooperation of Miss Grace Holcombe, the home demonstra tion agent, and women who live on Orange county farms. Soon Salaries Two Chapel HUlians Are oa List Given Out in Washington Two Chapel Hillians appeared in the list, given out in Wash ington last week, of corporation officials receiving salaries of more than $15,000. Collier Cobb, Jr., and Roy Homewood, officers of Cobb and Homewood, Inc., contractors, were down for $24,000 each. Other persona in the list who are well known in Chapel Hill are Claiborne Carr, $56,000; A. H. Bahnson, $76,000 (listed twice, with $33,000 as president of the Bahnson Company and $43,000 aa president of the Washington Mills); F. F. Bahn son, $33,000; L, V.

The proposed regulations are: 1. The one-year residence rule. ,2* The three-year varsity par ticipation rule. 3. The five-year limit for ath letic participation. 4. The transfer rule. 5. There shall be a scholastic requirement of 40 quarter hours, half C'a or better, during pre ceding three quarters of resi dence, or 45 hours, half C’s or better, if summer school or cor respondence work is necessary in addition to three regular quarters. 6. There shall be no discrim ination for or against athletes in the award of jobs, loans, or scholarships, directly or indi rectly controlled by the Univer sity. 7. Any student representing the University in intercollegiate athletics or any other activities either as manager or as partici pant must qualify as a good campus citizen. The administra tion of this regulation shall be (Continued on laet page) .after she came to the county Miss Holcombe realized that one of the urgent needs of the pro ducers was that they be brought into easy contact with the con sumers, and the Carrboro mar ket (henceforth the Chapel Hill market) has provided that con tact. The president of the Orange County Women’s Market is Mrs.. Ivan G. Lloyd, and the secretary is Mrs. Winston Strayhorn. Loan Ratio Increased B. & L. Ass n Fixes 70% Basis for Borrowers under Long-Term Flan 0 The directors of the Orange County Building and Loan Asso ciation voted at their last meet ing to make loans up to 70 per cent of the appraised value of homes. Until now the loan ratio has been 60 per cent. Loans on the 70 per cent basis will be made to persons, who finance their homes on the short term plan; that is, by complet ing their purchase of stock in 6 years and 4 months. This plan calls for the payment at an in stallment of- 25 cents a week on each share of building and loan stock. Under the long-term plan the installment is 12% cents a week, and the stock matures in 11% years instead of in 6 years and 4 months. Hitherto loans to long-term borrowers have been made only up to 60 per cent iff the appraised value. Hereafter the loan ratio will be 60 per cent. Most of the association’s loans are made on the short-term basis. The long-term plan is for the' benefit of persons who find it impossible to make their in stallment payments large enough to pay for their homes in the shorter period. Citizenry Lags on Town Tags About 176 Chapel Hill citizens who own automobiles have neg lected to buy theta town license tags, which cost $1 each and can be obtained at the town hall. The delinquents are liable to ar rest if th*y do not get tags for their cars. Under the law the tags should have been attached January 1. This notice is pub lished, as a warning, at the re quest of the town authorities. Chapel Hill Chaff A Chapel Hill woman went into a furniture store in Dur ham one day last week. The man who came forward to serve her was small, meek, and hesi tant, and the way he stroked one hand with another gave him a peculiarly pathetic look. “Here,” the customer said to herself, “is one of those downtrodden wage slaves I read so much about in the newspapers." She pictured him as a poor wretch with a large family, cringing as he would ask the boss for a meagre raise in pay. Her sympathies were deeply stirred, and she asked the man his name so that when she paid her bill she could make sure that he got credit for the sale. The next morning she was reading in the news paper the list of corporation of ficials’ salaries given out by the Government. Presently her eye lit upon a certain name. The meek little man for whW she had felt so compassionate was down for a salarjf of $22,000. * * * “But what about my path?” asked Phillips Russell in a rather aggrieved tone when he was told where the University’s new medical building was to rise, between thq Pittsboro road and the Kenan stadium. Mr. Russell lives on $ hill overlook ing the Morgan creek valley. Frequently he walks through the woods to the campus, taking sometimes this route and some times that. One path has a spe cial charm for him because o£ the hazel buds that he sees while strolling along it in the spring time. When this next spring time comes, Hie path will be blocked by a great horrid exca (Continued on page two) Choir Boys from Vienna They Are Going to Sing Neit Thurs day Evening in Memorial Hall The Wiener Saengerknaben— Vienna Choir Boys to you—will sing next Thursday evening in Memorial hall. The first song will begin at 8:30. This organization of juvenile singers was established by a de cree of the Emperor Maximilian of the Holy Roman Empire in 1498 and has functioned, maybe with a few brief interruptions, through all the ups and downs and ins and outs, through all the wars and riots and plagues and floods and famines of the subse quent four hundred and forty years. Their melodies have mel lowed the centuries along the Danube, and have played a large part in creating the far-famed charm of Vienna. At least, so declares J. Penrose Harland, spokesman for the joint student faculty entertainment committee which is bringing them to Chapel Hill. The choir boys are now on their sixth American tour. “Flutelike and lovely" Is what the New York Timet musk: critic said about their voices after a recent performance, and many other comments are to the same effect. For others than season ticket holders the admission charge is sl, except that faculty members and students may get in for 50 cents. Paul Green in Florida Paul Green, the dramatist, made a talk at the University of Florida in Gainesville last night. Next week he is to deliver a se ries of lectures at the Winter Institute of the University of On his way home he { will visit Charleston. Fluoroscope in Trailer Is to Be Used by Health Department In Fight against Tuberculosis The Burlages Get a Boy by Airplane H. M. Buriage, professor of pharmacy in the University, and Mrs. Buriage announce the adoption of a son. He is named Robb Kendrick Ijurlage. One month old January 8, on that day the boy was taken by Mrs. Buriage on an airplane from Boston, Mass., to Newark, N. J. There a change was made to another plane bound for Rich mond, Va. In Richmond Mr. Buriage met the travelers and brought them on to Chapel Hill by automobile. “The baby seemed to enjoy traveling by air,” said Mrs. Bur iage yesterday. “The motion of the plane did not disturb him at all, and he behaved perfectly all the way." Robb Kendrick is apparently as well pleased with Chapel Hill as with the airplane- He con tinues well and amiable. Mickey Loses a Friend Cokera’ Terrier Stands Guard over the Body of HU Playmate At the bend in the Durham road a little way down from Dr. J. P. Jones’s home, on the night before New Year’s, one dog was seen struggling to drag the life less body of another dog from the pavement where it had been struck and killed by an automo bile. Mickey, the W. C. Coders’ fox terrier, was getting his friend out of further harm’s way. Maybe nobody knows —he thought the spark of life had not gone out. He tugged and tugged, and presently he had the body on the soft earth beside the con crete. For months people had seen the two dogs playing together in the neighborhood and had remarked upon their devotion„to one an other. Jack Sparrow drove by early New Year’s morning and saw Mickey, whom he recognized at once, standing guard over his friend. “I called him and tried to get him in the car with me,” Mr. Sparrow said yesterday, “but he wouldn’t come. He just sat there and whimpered. Then I went home and got my son, who loves dogs and knows how to talk to ’em, and brought him back up the hill, and he persuaded Mickey to go home with us. That was when Mr. and Mrs. Coker were oat of town, and we kept Mickey for a while. He was mighty sad." Fire at Coker House < Origin of Bias* Wu Spark Pallia* aa Roof, Last Mot Groat The roof at the W. C. Colter home at the northeast corner of the village caught fire about noon Sunday. The most plaus ible explanation of (he origin was that a spark from the fire in Mr. Coker’s study fell upon the shingle roof. Already a con tract has be#n let for a roof of asbestos. The blaze on the roof was dis covered by Mrs, Coker. She sent in an alarm by telephone, and the fire company responded promptly and did a good job. The water in the storage tank was adequate, so it was not neces sary to run a hose Una from a hydrant. Aside from the roof, the main damage was to the plastering in (me room. $1.50 a Year at Advance. 5c a Copy 40 Persons Can Be Examined in a Day; Positive Cases to Be ' Passed on to Physicians X-RAY VIEWS ft) BE MADE - v -- | r A new house trailer equipped with a fluoroscopic x-ray unit* for use in the campaign against tuberculosis, has been received and is just about to be put in service by the District Health Department which serves Or ange, Person, and Chatham counties. The cost of the trailer mid equipment, was contributed by various civic organizations in - the three counties. * * * ‘The unit employs the latest type of fluoroscopic screen for chest work and makes possible the detection) of most chest le sions,” said Dr. William P. Rich ardson, the health officer, yes terday. “Since examination of the chest is done directly, with out the taking of pictures, the cost of operation is very low, and as many as forty patients can be examined in a day. '‘The examination clinics held by the health department will be for diagnosis only, and every patient found to be positive or suspicious .for tuberculosis will be referred to his family physi cian for treatment with the rec ommendation that x-ray pictures be made for confirmation and for a permanent record. For the present clinics vvill be held once a month in each of the de partment’s offices (that is la Roxboro, HiHsboro, Chapel Hill, and Pittsboro) and will be free to all. “The need for this service is vividly brought out by an analy sis of reported deaths and casfeg of tuberculosis in Orange coun ty.
