S, Navy Pre-Flight Schobl here in Chapel Hill is to have a weekly newspaper all its own. Beginning September 19. two weeks from tomorrow, it is to come out every Saturday. The paper is to be called the Cloudbuster. A few weeks ago a comin-t iii< m w;i< h»■ !< L arnomr the cadets, to get a name for the Pre-Flight School’s football team. From the many sugges tions handed in, the name chosen by the committee of judges was the Cloudbusters. It met gen eral favor, and so, with the' change from plural to singular form, the same'selection is made for the "paper. Lieutenant EiseVer of the school’s public relations office, who is in charge of the plans for the project, said yesterday that there would be officers and en listed'men, as well as cadets, on t he editorial board, but that most of the writing, editing, and art work would be done by the cadets. "More than a dozen cadets have already answered our call for volunteers,” he said. “A good many of the men have .had ex perience on college papers. We have artists as well as writers in the corps, and we expect to have cartoons and other draw ings as well as photographs. The Orange Printshop will print the paper, for delivery every Satur day morning.” -Besides the news of the Pie Flight School the paper will car ry some news, in condensed form, about the war and about important developments in naval aviat ion.

The Chapel Hill Weekly LOUIS GRAVES Editor Dairymen to Make Improvements That Will Restore Grade of Their Milk; Brendle Is Coining to Succeed Groom The dairymen whose milk was recently de-graded are taking steps to fulfill the requirements of the town’s milk ordinance (which is the standard U. S. Public Health service ordinance), and it is expected that they will have their grade lifted from C back to B before long. When the B grade is restored, the milk will be legally acceptable for conver sion to Grade A by pasteuriza tion,' Bacteria counts on the. de graded milk, in the last few days, have shown a decline.,. But bac teria counts are not the only basis for determining grades; requirements about water sup ply, equipment, handling, and personnel must be complied with. The aldermen have not yet met to rescind the action by which they took the enforce ment of the milk ordinance out of the hands'of the local health department. But, unofficially, I)r. W. P. Richardson, the health officer, and T. (1. Groom, the sanitary engineer and “fn spec tor, have been visiting the dairymen, checking up 4m their improve ments, and making bacteria counts for them.

He and his family will leave Chapel I f i|l Monday Chapel Hill Chaff Sometimes the question is asked: What is the oldest house in Chattel Hill? There has been some, difference of opinion as to whether it is the one in which Mrs. Isabelle K. Carter lives, on East Franklin street (Kay Ky ser, owner) or the one diagonally across the street iu which Rob ert B. House lives (the Univer sity, owner). L. J. Phipps and I were talk ing about this a month or so ago. Afterwards he examined the rec ords in the register of deeds’ of fice in Hillsboro, and, from what he tells me of the evidence yield ed by the old deeds, I find that lilt- palm- for age HUiSV be 1 K‘- stowed upon the Garter house. William Hooper, stepson of President Caldwell and a mem ber of the University faculty, built that house when he brought his bride here in 181 1. The house where Dean House lives was known as the Widow Puckett house. The fact that the Garter house is older than the House' house is established hv the dates and by the prices mentioned in the deeds. In 1817 Mrs. Puckett paid $lO for the Jot that is now Dean 1 louse’s-- g<k>d evidenee that the lot didn’t have a house on it. Three years later she sold her property to Denison ()1 in stead, a professor in the Univer sity, tor SI,BOO. This means that a house was put up on the lot some time within those three year.' The University bought the property in 1822 for $2,100. Battle’s History of the C Hirer .sity says that Olm.stead, a grad uate 1 of Yale in the class of 181.'!, “being broke, after having pur chased the Widow Puckett house and- having spent S9OO iu re pairs, succeeded in getting the {Continued on last page) ' tion and jierfection of de fense program. The, basic pro gram here has served as a model for many other communities in the state and has won commen dation from state and national civilian defense officials.” The mayor has appointed to the council Francis Bradshaw, Town Manager Caldwell, Y. Z. <'annuli, and E. ( . Smit h. S. A. Stoudemire is command er ot the Citizens Defense Corps, Mrs. R. H. Wettach is command er of the Citizens Service Corps, J. C.
