Vol. 30 No. 30 Come Tonight To the Bank’s “Open House 11 The Bank of Chapel Hill will have an “Open House” from 7:30 to 10 o’clock this (Fri day) evening. Everybody is invited to come and see the enlarged building and the new facilities. Officers and employees of the bank, from President Clyde Eubanks down, will be on hand as welcomers and escorts. It it’s a hot night, that won’t make any difference after you once get inside, for the building is air-cooled. The new addition to the bank is a rear extension that brings the building’s over-all length to 135 feet. The num ber of tellers’ windows has been increased from 6 to 11. Many new safety deposit boxes have been installed, so that now there is an ample supply. The boxes are in five sizes and the yearly rental ranges from $3 to S2O. A room and several booths as sure uninterrupted, privacy to box renters. There are two storage vaults for the safe keeping of large valuables. Besides seeing the building the visitors will see the bank’s modern book-keeping and record - keeping machinery. They will see a machine that sorts checks on out-of-town banks and separates them into batches for the banks they are going to. And they will see how checks and deposit slips are photographed. Any visitor who has been suppos ing that, after one of his checks has gone through the bank and been returned to him, there is ho record of it except the record 4 in his own possession, will learn better by what he sees tonight.

Chapel Hill Chaff The old-time folkways live on in North Carolina and one person who helps to keep them alive is Judge William S. Stewart. When I telephoned Joe Jones from my house day be fore yesterday morning and told him that Chancellor Rob ert B. House had just come by to tell me he had a grand daughter—Caroline Ann Stew art, born at 11:24 p.m., Mon day, July 21, in Duke hospital —Joe said: “Yes, I know about it. I met Bill Stewart on the street a few minutes ago and he gave me a cigar.” Joe has never smoked, and I hoped that he wouldn’t think he had to learn how immed iately in order to be properly appreciative. Wednesday is an extra-busy day in the getting out of the paper and I thought what a calamity it would be if 50 per cent of the editorial staff were put out of business. My hope came true. Joe did not start in to learn to smoke. He gave his cigar to Lawrence Campbell. * * * “A skunk in Chapel Hill?” writes Roy M. Brown, allud ing to the piece in last week’s paper about the skunk on Boundary street. “This ani mal is not usually a resident of cities or even villages. It looks as if you may have to reclassify Chapel Hill this time as open country, even backwoods country.” This recalls what an agri culture teacher in the high school once said to me: “There are more varmints in Chapel Hill than anywhere else I’ve ever been.” That was apropos of pieces I had printed about snakes, garden-raiding rab bits, and poultry-raiding pos sums. The reason for the presence of varmints is, of course, that much of the for est that once covered what is now Chapel Hill is still here. (Continued on page IS) William S, Joyner. Nicholas A.

Wherever you go you see these incredibly beautiful flowers. You see them along the streets, in churchyards, in yards and gardens, and on the campus lawns. You see them against various back grounds—the open blue sky, sailing clouds, masses of fol iage, old stone walls, every kind of building from the lowly cabin to the stately church. One day last week I looked out of a window and saw a crepe myrtle in a cloud burst. It gave a strange im pression of smiling serenity under the battering of the tor rents of water and, when the storm wds over and the sun shone bright again, the pink blossoms with the raindrops glistening upon them were gayer and lovelier than ever. 1 have been looking at crepe myrtles in all the summers of my life (except in the interval when I lived north of where they grow). The blossoms are (Contiemed an page IS) 90 er Higher m 45 Days in the Last 54 The records of the local U. 8. Weather Boreas eta- Jana asd ‘-ifilfr 54 day fUMNHft yesterday —there were 45 days oa which the temperature la Chapel Hill was 90 or high er. It went to 101 on Monday of this week, July 21, and to 102 on both Tuesday and Wednesday. “I looked at the ther mometer at 2 o’clock on Wednesday, and the mer cury was at 102,” said Max D. Saunders, the custodian of the station, yesterday. “Then came the thunder storm and the rain. At 4:30 the mercury was at 75—a drop of 27 degrees from the high point.” The terrific heat returned yesterday. The temperature was above 90 when th4 pa per went to press. children between three and seven years of age. Children under three will be admitted free. Gene Strowd of Johnson- Strowd-Ward is chairman of ticket sales. The admission ticket will take care of afl entertainment for the after noon and evening, including games, supper, swimming, and dancing. Ice cream and soft drinks will be the only extras on sale. An announcement from the office of the Merchants Asso ciation says, “Merchants should feel free to buy tickets for their employees as they see fit. This is optional, though. The picnic is planned as a community affair and is not a money-making scheme. Its object is to give everybody a good time.” Football Starting Times The University’s home foot ball games this fall will be gin at 2 o’clock, with the ex ception of the opening contest with Texas, which will begin at 2:30.

The University’s four new dormitories have ended the crowding of three students into rooms meant for two, but there is a serious shortage of quarters for faculty members and for students with families. The demand for quarters has been greatly increased by the completion of the hos pital (scheduled for opening early in the fall) and by the inauguration of the standard four-year course in the Medi cal School and the School of Dentistry. In both schools third- year instruction will be given now for the first time and next year both schools will be on a full four-year schedule. “The most troublesome problem we have now is to find houses or apartments with as many as three bed rooms,” said James W. Wads worth, the University housing officer, yesterday, “but the supply of smaller units is also unequal to the demand. There is a waiting list of about 60 families who have applied for apartments in Victory Vill age.” Many of the new members of the faculty have two or more children, and there are simply not month houeee and apartments in Chapel Hill to take care of them. Bome are leaving their families where they are now while they con tinue their search tor quar ters; some will live in Dur ham, Hillsboro, and other communities, and come * n d go every day. Every , mail brings to the housing officer urgent pleas for help, and a considerable number of married students come to Chapel Hill, “trust ing to luck,” as they say, that they will be able to “find something” in the way of liv ing quarters. Most of these hopeful newcomers have at least one child; some have more. The new law providing tui tion fees and living expenses for Korean war veterans will bring about a great increase in University enrollment next year, and this will make the housing problem still more troublesome. Services Being Held By J. Earl Danieley Regular services at the United Congregational Chris tian church are beihg conduct ed by J. Earl Danieley during the absence of the Rev. R. L. Jackson, the church pastor, who is away on vacation. A member of the congregation, Mr. Danieley served as acting minister for one year prior to Mr. Jackson’s arrival here from China. Sunday’s special sermon for children will be entitled “Two Prayers and a Bicycle.” At the regular 11 o’clock worship service Mr. Danieley will speak on the topic, "I Believe in the Church.” The public is invit ed. Mr. Danieley is doing grad uate work in the University’s chemistry department while on leave from Elon College, where he is an associate pro fessor of chemistry. Dosters Move to Greensboro Mr. and Mrs. Paul Doster of Glen Lennox have moved to Greensboro, where Mr. Dus ter recently joined the staff of the Security National Bank as an assistant accountant.
