M. C. S. Noble, in New York, Calls
Bank Directors to Order by Phone
M. C. S. Noble has been pre
sident of the Bank of Chapel
Hill about thirty years. In all
that tieie he has missed only a
few of she Tuesday night meet
ings of the board of directors,
and in the last seven years not
an absence Has been chalked
against him.
So, two weeks ago when he
made known his intention to go
to New York to visit his son,
some of his friends asked: “But
what about missing the board
meeting?”
Mr. Noble knew the answer
but he kept it to hiAiself.
When the directors assembled
around the big table at 7:30 on
Tuesday evening of this week,
the telephone rang. Cashier W.
E. Thompson, responding, heard
the words: “New York calling.”
And a moment later came the
familiar voice | of Mr. Noble:
"Is everybody there? Are we
ready to begin?”
Mr. Thompson said yes. The
directors left their seats to
crowd around the telephone, and
Eventful Week-End in the Clevenger Home
Mr. Clevenger, of the Univer
sity of Illinois, who is teaching
in the Summer School here
again this year, received a letter
from Mrs. Clevenger telling of
the stirring incidents at their
home in the week-end of the
Fourth of July.
A company of relatives came
for a visit, whereupon the maid
left. Mrs. Clevenger, undaunted,
prepared a delicious chicken din
nef sos her guests. But at the
last moment, when it was too
late to change her menu, she re
membered that ft was Friday

leading roles will be taken by

Rice. “Fast Company” is de

blend of romance, mystery,
drama, and thrills.”

the receiver was held so that all
could hear.
"Gentlemen, we will now come
to order,” said Mr. Noble.
There followed a few more re
marks in the president’s best
whimsical vein; he said good
bye ; and the directors got down
to business.
Miss Winston Engaged
The engagement of Miss Caro
lyn Winston to Roger Goiran,
son of Henri Goiran, French
minister to Mexico, is announc
ed by Mr. and Mrs. Patrick
Henry Winston. The marriage
will take place in early August,
and the couple will make their
home at Oyster Bay for the next
year.
Henri Goiran is an officer of
the Legion of Honor, and his
wife writes under the pen name
of Lucie Saint-Elme. The son
was graduated from the law
school of the University of Paris
and from the School of Political
Science of Paris.
partake of meat on that day.
Other food was hastily assem
bled.
That afternoon a rocking chair
was turned over, striking the
bookcase, and smashing the
double glass doors. The next
day a small child of the family
upset and broke a large living
room lamp.
To be especially careful on the
Fourth, Mrs. Clevenger’s broth
er-in-law went out with the chit
dren to supervise the shooting
of their fireworks. A firecracker
exploded in his hand, necessitat
ing treatment by a doctor and
the administering of anti-tetanus
vaccine. As the car was backed
out of the garage to go to the
doctor's office, it ran into the
lawn-mower, smashing it and
cutting a hole in a tire.
The doctor came and went.
The rest of the week-end—being
the interval between injection
time and bed-time, was unevent
ful.

Chapel Hill Chaff
When I met Irl Summerlin and
J. S. Bennett on the street the
other day I remarked upon what
delightfully cool weather we
had been having this summer.
That was the day before the
first hot wave came (a wave
that turned out to be short). Mr.
Summerlin looked glum. “Can’t
get any contracts for air-con
ditioning,” he said. I turned to
Mr. Bennett, hoping for a more
cheerful response; but he, too,
had a long face. “Can’t sell any
electric fans”, he said. As Gus
Harrer, Shipp Sanders, Minor
Gwynn, or J. P. Harland would
put it, quod ali cibus est aliis fiat
acre venenum. (Or, to you:
what’s one man’s food is another
man’s poison).

Leon Russell, returning to
Chapel Hill after an absence of
four years, says the two things
about the place that make him
gladdest are (1) the trees to
look at and (2) the black-eyed
peas to eat.
His baby daughter Jacqueline,
a little over a year old, has gone
nigh mad with joy over the
lawn in front of Grandfather
Phillips Russell’s house. All the
yard she had in California
not what we call a yard at all,
but a patio; a flooring of cement
or stone, with palm trees or
other stage-scenery vegetation.
When she happened to fall down
there, she got a severe bump.
When she falls down here, it’s
fun. She is so ecstatic about the
grass that she puts her face
down in it and seems to want to
set about eating not only the
grass but even some of the soil
underneath.

A friend of mine lost a quart
of applejack this week by bet
ting with a friend of his on
whether or not the latter’s child
would be a boy or a girl. I hap
pened to meet these two citizens
soon after the question had been
settled, it would have been hard
to tell which was the winner and
which the loser. They wefre go
ing to share equally in the con
sumption of the booty, and both
seemed happy.
Town Tax Rate Is Expected to ‘
Fall a Little; County Rate Is
To Be Lifted by abont 5 Cents
Mooasiiuiert’ Copper
Given to Children
For Handicrafts*
Two gentle-mannered women
from Chapel Hill drove up to the
court house in Hillsboro one day
last week. They entered the
building and proceeded to the
sheriff’s office. One of them said
to him:
"We are looking for a still.”
When the sheriff had recov
ered from his surprise, he re
plied :
“I am too; do you know ? where
there is one?”
They hastily assured him that
what they meant to ask was: did
he have an old one that he could
give them? They needed copper
for the handicraft class in the
Recreation School.
The sheriff soon had their car
loaded with sheets of copper
from the large worm of a still
recently captured. And now the
children at the summer play
ground are hammering out ob
jects of art.

Mrs. Privette Gazes Up at Son
Mrs. Privette was reading a
.letter from her son William say
ing that he was to make a flight
to South Carolina and that on
his way back to Norfolk he
would fly over Chapel Hill at a
certain hour Wednesday after
noon. She realized that the cer
tain hour had come, and a min
ute or two later she heard a
humming. She ran outdoors and
gazed skyward. She saw three
planes, so far up that they look
ed like specks. Her son was in
one, Fred Prouty In another,
and their commanding officer In
another.

TOWN VALUATIONS ARE UP
The town tax rate, which was
$1.65 last year, is expected to
go down a little this year, may
be to 31.61. The county rate,
which was 95 cents last year,
will probably be sl. If these
figures hold, the two rates—the
total rate for a taxpayer resi
dent in Chapel Hill—will be
32.61 this year as compared with
32.60 last year.
Total requirements of the
town for the fiscal year just
begun (1938-39) are estimated
at 338,752. To be deducted from
this figure is the estimated reve
nue, 318,885, leaving 319,867.
An item of 31.986 has to be add
ed under the law, for “uncollect
ibles,” so that net requirements
are 321,853.
This exceeds the net require
ments last year, but the assessed
valuations have gone up, so that
the necessary money can be
raised by a 4-cent lower rate. So
it stands according to the ten
tative budget. It is still possible
for the aldermen to make
changes. An additional truck
for the hauling of trash and gar
bage is urgently needed, and if
the price of that is put in the
budget the rate will have to be
pushed up.
The county commissioners
have had to raise the welfare
fund from the 322,777 spent last
year to 329,069 for this year, to
comply with the provisions of
the Social Security law, and this
increase is partly responsible for
the rise of 5 cents in the county
tax rate. Another cause is the
decline in the revenue from “in
tangibles” (bank balances, notes,
and bonds). The state now col
lects the tax on that class of
property and turns back part of
