The Chapel Hill Weekly LOUIS GRAVES Editor Hand for Navy’s School, Composed of Negroes Knlisted in North Carolina, To He Quartered in Community Center By an agreement among the town of Chapel Hill, the Univer sity, and the United States Navy, the Chapel Hill Negro Commun ity Center is to be used as quar ters for a negro band to be estab lished here in connection with the N aval Pre-Flight Training School. The members of the 'band are being enlisted by the Navy here in North Carolina. Governor lirougmoii, vviio has lakeii a iead ing part in carrying through the project, recently invited the pre sidents of North Carolina’s negro colleges to his office and discussed it with them. The presidents have given their student bodies full information about it, and al ready many student musicians have enlisted. The entire band is to be made up of men living in this part of the country. * The Navy (through the Uni versity) is to'pay the town a New Grade to He Topic at P.T.A.

'The cards are lieing dis tributed through the drug store because there were no funds available for mailing them. “Only about 20 per cent of the people who had their blood typed have called for their cards,” Paul Eubanks said yesterday. “Blood typing is a waste of time and ef fort u.ule.ss the people who are typed get their cards. We hope those other 80 per cent will come in and get theirs right away.” This hope is wholeheartedly seconded by the Local Office of Civilian Defense, under the auspices of which the typing was done. , r ■■ Rebecca Ann Bennett A (laughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Bennett on Wed nesday, May 13, at Watts hos pital.

C„ FRIDAY, MAY 22, 1912 rental for the building, and is to complete it arid furnish it. - The building is to be turned over to the town, without thy require ment of any payment, when it is no longer needed by the Pre- Flight. Training School. The band’s sleeping quarters wifi be in the large basement, which is mostly above the sur face of the ground. The upper floor will be used for a dining ICH7III illlU cil.'vw uiu m community purposes. In a letter to the Recreation Commission when the agreement was reach ed, Lieutenant John P. Graff, ex ecutive officer of the Pre-Flight Training School, said: “The occupation of the Center will not destroy the public use fulness of the building, for the service men will Ik* so quartered as to allow an appreciable amount of use of the building as a recrea tional center.’’ will probably be the topics of lively discussion. It is highly im portant that the people of Chapel Hill understand the new pro gram and co-ojK-rate with the school in its operation. The school officials want to know what the people of Chapel Hill are thinking about the Bth grade, and what their sugges tions and criticisms are. Mr. Honeycutt has suggested that he would like parents amt teachers to attend this meeting prepared to ask quest ions and to express them -civ!■-. j The program will include a showing of Hit* made 15-minute movie, “Band in the Gears,” which depicts the ef forts of the government to com bat tuberculosis in the armed forces and on the home front.

Bruce, Ix*o Cronan, John Dickson, William Emmerling, Chapel Hill Chaff One effect of the war upon everyday life in the village is tltat many householders have begun to haul their groceries in little, reckwagons. Thus a vehicle th-at used to he just a toy becomes highly useful. I am told that Mrs. R. B. Lawson was the pioneer war-time wagon-puller. Other women saw what a good idea it was and followed suit. Wagon-pullers about whom I hap pen to have been told are Mrs. A. M. Jordan, 4Hrs. George F. Bason, and Mrs. John Couch. There are many others. At any hour in the morning you see lit tle wagons parked around the en trances to the grocery stores. 1 am told that in one case a husband was seen to lie pulling a wagon-load of groceries home. 1 deplore this as a bad example. Wagon-pulling is not too heavy exercise for women, so let them have this field of activity as their very own. * * * Another consequence of the war is that people are learning to make sweet things wit hull t •sugar. Mrs. Pugh brought to the printshop one day this week some ice cream which the will ing tasters there found to be ex cellent. She said her cook, Ruth Johnson, had made it by follow ing the directions that some household adviser gave over .the radio. I asked for the recipe for publication, and this is it: 2 eggs, 2 cups milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 cup white corn syrup and ! cup hhavy cream. Beat eggs, stir in syrup, then milk and vanilla. Whip cream to custard like eon sistency and add. Freeze as usual I found that Mrs. Pugh and her friends have other recipes for .sugarless desserts. They may he useful to housekeepers, and I ex pect to’ publish some of them soon. * * * A. Warren was putter ing around in her garden and her (Continued on last page) S.

W Clarence Burch, who was j charged with speeding on a mo jtorcycle, was fined sls and costs I arid forbidden to ride a motor cycle for six months in the re corder's court here Tuesday. The j punishment vvgs meted out by- John Manning, who presided in the absence of Judge Andrew Mc- Intosh. Burch was arrested af ter he hj)d outdistanced Officer Larry Norwood, who pursued him out Fast Franklin street on a police department motorcycle. Burch made good his escape by recklessly dashing between two cars on Strowd’s hill. But Nor wood had already got close' enough to see his license plate number. Town ( racks Down on Storers of Gasoline Acting on tips from the police, Keck Boone of the Chapel'Hill fire department went around tow n' a few days ago and found several violations of the law against the storing of gasoline. Most of the gasoline hoards tnat he found were at fraternity hr uses.- However, he found some including one hoard of 70 gal -1 <>i;s at private homes. “On my second round, to check up,” said Mr. Boone yes terday-, “ I found that all the gaso line I had found on my first rouml had been removed. The students’ la ards were pretty well used up ' j"■ -4*rt— -4-4"Fr*-' situation is pretty well cleared up now.” I he law that Mr. Boone, rep resenting the town, is interested in t nforcing has nothing to do with rationing. Its purpose is to prevent fire hazards. Gas Company ( urtails Operations The Gas Company has discon tinued its sales department lie cause of Government regulations restricting the I 'sale of gas ap pliances. Odis I’endergraft and Mrs. Ruth Ward have resigned from its office force, which will now be headed by Mrs. Minnie I{. Fields. She will move her flower shop into the Gas Company’s of- Tice (next door to the Pick the atre) and in conjunction with her business will carry on the busi ness of the Gas Company. New Tire Regulation Moody Durham, chief of the Rationing Board, said yesterday that after June 1 people who ap ply for permission to buy new tires will have to show the hoard that they have not overloaded or otherwise abused the tires they already have. Permission will he granted only to those who can do this and are in a class eligible to get new tires. Sugar for Canning Special permits for the buying of sugar for canning purposes will he issued frequently from now on, on designated dates to he published soon, it was an nounced yesterday by Moody Durham, chief of the Rationing Board. The dates will be an nounced in this newspaper as soon as they are decided on. $1.50 a Year in Advance. 5c a Copy U. S. Government Pays Part of Cost of the Road because of Its Military Value COMMITTEE NEGOTIATIN G WITH PROPERTY OWNERS The plan for the long-talked about new road to the airport seems to he coming nearer to realization as a result of an offer from the University to go fifty fifty with the town in providing the part of the right of way that lies within the town’s corporate limits. The offer was conveyed by Controller Carmichael at a spec ial meeting of the aldermen Tues day evening. The carrying through of the plan depends upon the town’s being able to acquire jthe right of way for a reasonable sum. The projected road is a joint venture of the federal and state governments. The federal gov ernment helps hear the cost be cause the road is of military value. The obligation of the municipality to provide the right of. way within its own limits is common to all such projects. J'ht* town will lie able to raise | the necessary money after July !• by a bond issue. The issute can lie made without a po|ttrfar vote because the amount of money re quired will be less than a certain proportion of the town’s bond re demptions in the fiscal year end ing June HO, 1942. This is in con formity with, the municipal gov ernment finance act which makes any bond issue (other, than one 'sanctioned l>\ popular vote) con (litional upon bond redemptions in the preceding year. A committee consisting of Alderman F. 0. Bowman, Aider man P. L. Burch, and Mr. Car -imcjha.ul. 1 uvs -hiaux ..aij pain Led Xu cn.. operate with the State Highway Commission in obtaining the* property needed for tbe right of way. Part of their job will be to lalk with the owners and try to reach an agreement with them about t he price. The two houses that will have to Ik* removed or demolished,- to make way for the road, are those of Mrs. Ed Durham and Mrs. Norma Jackson near the north edge of town. Hand’s Final Concert % V\ 1 11 lie Given Sunday Afternoon on l.awii near the Davie Poplar The University Band will give its 18th and final concert of the regular session at 5 o’clock day after tomorrow (Sunday) after noon on the lawn near'the Davie Poplar. Earl Slocum, director of the band, has received the following letter from Lieutenant Colonel Ral>org, U. S. A., retired, com manding officer of the students’ Volunteer Training Corps: “I was so impressed with the fine performance of the Univer sity band at its recent Sunday concert that 1 want to take this means of expressing to you my appreciation of the fine things you are doing in providing, for students and townspeople alike, an opportunity to hear concert music,in the beautiful setting of the University campus. “In these war days such activi ties as this carry an added signifi cance, and my only regret is that there cannot Ire more concerts of this kind. I am sure they givo much pleasure to many people.”
