Vol. 29, No. 43 Jaycees Will Sponsor Party For Children On Halloween A Halloween party for all chil dren up to 14 years old will be given by the Jaycees from 7 to 8:30 next Wednesday evening, October 31, in front of Fowler’s Store on West Franklin street. The activities will include games, stunts, refreshments, and a cos tume contest, with prizes for the funniest costume, the most orig inal costume, the loudest noise maker, and other classifications. Everything will be free. The high school band will be on hand to provide music for the occasion. A parade, to be led by the band, will be formed af ter the contest. Its line of march will be down Franklin street into the main business section. In announcing the party, a Jaycee official said, “The affair will give all the children a chance to see each other in their Hal loween costumes. It will also end early enough for them to get home in time to do their school work before bedtime.” The two Jaycees who are co chairmen of the party are Bus ter Ogbum of the Ogburn Fur niture Company and Red Alte mueller of the Andrews-Hennin ger Store. Committee chairmen are John Black, refreshments; Bob Hogan prizes; Hanlon Mur phy, games and contests; Watts Poe, policing and arrangements; Bill Basnight, lighting; Joseph Philips, public address system, and Dr. Thomas Darden, judging. Mr. ogburn srfW yesterday the Jaycees hoped to make the party an annual affair for people of all ages. “We'll do it if the party we give next week is a success,” he said. Waynick Will Speak Here Wednesday Night Capua Waynick, U. S. Ambas sador to Colombia, will speak at 8:30 this coming Wednesday eve ning in Gerrard hill under the auspices of the University’s In stitute on Latin American Stu dies. His topic will be “A North Carolinian Looks at Latin Amer ica.” He has already had a look at part of it from his ambassa dor’s post in Honduras, and he will soon have a look at it from another and more important post. He and Mrs. Waynick will leave next week for Bogota, the capital of Colombia. Probably the most vivid impression that most U. S. citizens have of Bogo ta is that which they retain from reading about the riot that oc curred there during an interna tional conference a year or so ago. The Waynicks’ friends are hoping they won’t get mixed up in anything like that. In the spring and summer there was a good deal of talk about the possibility of Mr. Way nick’s becoming a candidate for Governor of North Carolina. The talk ended this fall when he com manded, in effect, “Include me out.” Faculty Club to Hear Baity H. G. Baity will be the speaker at the meeting of the Faculty Club at 1 o’clock Tuesday at the Carolina Inn. His topic: “Observations along the Iron Curtain.” In the course of Mr. Baity’s recent three-months stay in Europe he viaited the Communiat, but Anti-Stalin, Yugoslavia and in the city of Belgrade was escorted around by Communist officials. He looked from Finland into Soviet Rus sia but did not venture to cross the border. A good reason why he didn’t waa that he was faced by scowling armed guards. The Chapel Hill Weekly Louis Graves Editor Proposal lor a Pipe-Line Raleigh’s water supply is dan gerously low. Durham has plen ty of water. Durham’s city manager said the other day that Durham had enough water to spare 2,000,000 gallons a day if Raleigh would come and get it. This made it a problem of trans portation ; an insurmountable problem, for trucking that quan tity of water every day, or any considerable proportion of that quantity, is impossible. The Raleigh News and Ob server, expressing gratitude for Durham’s offer, said that the two cities, in their constant spreading-out, were getting clos er and closer together, and sug gested that some day one city might be able to get water from the other through pipes. The paper cited the joint ownership and management of the Raleigh- Durham airport as a demonstra tion of the benefits that can come from inter-city coopera tion. Greensboro is not troubled by a water shortage, but the short age in Burlington, about the same distance from Greensboro that Durham is from Raleigh, has become so serious that the municipal officials say they may consult the Harvard University professor who has had success in producing rain by using chem Chest Campaign Starts Day after Tomorrow; Money to Be Divided among Seven Agencies Chapel Hill’s annual Community Cheat campaign will begin day after tomorrow (Sunday), will go on dur ing all of next week, and will end the following Sunday.

Alexander Heard was UN Week chairman. Major Logan Pratt Returns Major Logan Pratt of 41-B Glen Lennox has returned from a tour of Army duty at Fort Bragg and Fort McPherson, Ga., and has resumed his work toward a Ph.l). degree in Eng lish at the University.

Food Bale Next Friday The Women’s Auxiliary of the Episcopal church will hold a food sale at the parish house from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. next Friday, November 2, the day before the Carolina-Tenneaaee football game.

Oth er measures under consideration by the officials are (1) trying to get portable purification equipment from Fort Bragg and (2) laying emergency pipe-lines to bring water in from ponds and wells in the surrounding country. The situation with respect to water in the Raleigh-to-Greens boro region suggests that it might be a good idea to have a pipe-line running the whole dis tance between the two cities; or, rather, to fill in the gaps be tween the several municipal wa ter supply systems along the route. Os course it would cost several million dollars, but even so it might cost less than the expansion of several city sys tems. The projectors of such an enterprise would start out with the great advantage of a ready-made course for the pipe, the Southern Railway right of way, which is owned by the State of North Carolina. The pipe-line recently built to carry natural gas from Texas to New England, with branches to scores of cities along the way, shows that it would be compara tively simple to overcome what ever engineering difficultiea stand in the way of a Raleigh to-Greensboro line. in all, will conduct the solicitation in the residential areas under the di rection of Mrs. E. C. Markham. John M. Foushee is chairman for buaineaf concerns and Mrs. Hubert RohbMqVi jr., for the Negro section. ~ Quoting last year’s campaign chairman, Rex Winslow, Mr. Phipps says: “To regard the Chest as a money-raising device is a perversion of an ideal. The Chest is democracy in action. The real objective is to get more people to think, plan, work and give for the common good.” Mrs. Shepard Burned by 5-Year-Old Fluid Mrs. George E. Shepard, who went to Duke hospital Sunday before last for treatment of burns on her neck, has recovered and is back at home. It was not turpentine, as first rejiorted, that caused the burns, but a deodorant which Mrs. Shepard mistook for a cleaning fluid. Five years ago her children had some puppies that were quartered in the basement. When the puppies were brought up to quarters on the ground level they left in the basement a dis agreeable odor. To dissipate it Mrs. Shepard got a deodorant at a hardware store. This was such a strong fluid that the user was directed to mix a tablespoonful of it in two gallons of water be fore scattering it about. After getting rid of the puppy smell in the basement Mrs. Shep- Pratt Buy* Stearin Home Robert Armstrong Pratt, who came to the University thin year as pro fessor of English in succession to George R. Coffman, has bought the Paul E. Shearin home on Senlac road. He will not taka possession, how ever, till next June. By that time the Shearins will either have bought another house or built one.

Yates Building in Dogwood Acres Thomas Yates, the plumbing cop tractor, is building a home in Dog wood Acres, tha new suburban de velopment about three miles southwest of Chapel Hill. Chapel Hill Chaff When Dr. W. P. Jacocks was telling me, one day last week, about his trip to Windsor to at tend the meeting of the Bertie County Historical Association, I asked him how the county got its name. He said that it was named for two brothers Bertie who bought a large area of east ern North Carolina land from the Earl of Clarendon, one of the Lords Proprietors, and that the name was originally pronounced Bartie. This is in line with the British pronunciation of dark for clerk and darby for derby. Shortly after my conversation with Dr. Jacacks I saw a news paper dispatch from Washington saying that Congress had de cided to change the name of the Buggs Island dam to the John H. Kerr dam, an honor well de served in view of Mr. Kerr’s achievement in putting through the great Roanoke river flood control project. Kerr is pronoun ced Karr, and, since the -ar sound for -er has pretty nearly disappeared in America, most people who are not acquainted with the Kerr family, and have only the spelling to go by, will probably pronounce the -err in Kerr just as they pronounce the word err. The only two words that I recall, in which Americans give the -ar sound to -er, are Kerr and sergeant. The American pro nunciation of -er seems to be gaining favor in England. For clerk the Oxford English Dic tionary prefers the pronuncia tion elark but allows the Ameri- Mftft pronunciation and says that late it has become frequeet in «nd around London.” The English used to give the pronun ciation clargy to clergy but that passed out two or three centuries ago. Darby is the southern Eng land pronunciation of derby, but (Continued on page two) ard put the bottle of deodorant on a shelf in the garage. She never saw it again until the day about three weeks ago when she did a job of interior house-paint ing and spilled some of the paint on her frock. In looking around for something that would serve as a paint remover she came upon the bottle of deodorant. She had forgotten all about what the contents had been used for five years before. First she applied the fluid to the paint on her frock. Then she dabbed it lightly on a few s|x>ts of paint that had spattered on her neck. Two or three days later she became aware of a breaking-out on her skin, and presently came a burning sen sation that was definitely pain ful. The pain became so intense that she had to go to the hospital. Garden Club to Meet Monday The Chapel Hill Garden Club will meet at 3 o’clock Monday afternoon at the EpUcopal pariah houa. The program will include the showing of two aound moviea: “The Myiteriei of Plant Life” and "How to Grow Beauti ful Roaea.” Mrs. Mangum, chairman of exhibit*, asks the membtn to bring specimens or arrangemente of chrysanthemums.

This is a special registration, and nobody who fails to register can vote. Having registered for a previous election does not qual ify a person to vote in this one. The vote will be Yes or No on enlarging the school district to take in an outlying area from ■which children come to the Chapel Hill school. No school tax is now paid by the people in that area. The enlargement, if approved, will not affect the school tax inside the present district; it will simply extend the tax to the area proposed to fc»e taken in. The dividing line between the two voting precincts in Chapel Hill is Franklin street. People south of Franklin register at the school; people north of Franklin register at the Town Hall.

(“Was expecting” is the wraay it is put because this newspaper w«?nt to proas soon after aoon. Mr. G a~aham was probably in Chapel Hill not long after that, and some readers of the Weekly may have seen him bo fore they see this.) Tomorrow (Saturday) night he and M rs.

If the ordinance drafted by the Chapel Hill Zoning Commis sion Enlarged is approved by the board of aldermen, residential areas 300 feet wide, from which signboards will be excluded, will be laid out on the sides of the highways entering town. L. J. Phipps, chairman of the commission, said yesterday he hoped to submit the ordinance to the aldermen at their Novem ber 19th meeting. They may hold a public hearing on the measure in time to vote on it at the first or second meeting in De cember. The proposed protective resi dential areas will extend 4 miles from Chapel Hill along all high ways (or to a county line where the county line is nearer than 4 miles). They will be broken at some places zoned for filling sta tions, stores, and other business. Existing commercial centers (such as the one a mile out on the Durham highway and the one a mile out on the Pittsboro highway) will of course remain. The commission wants to limit commercial development along the highways, as far as possible, to such existing centers as these rather than to create new cen ters.
