Vol. 31 No. 22 Controversy Over Church Returned for New Hearing The Chapel Hill Presbyterian controversy has been sent back to Orange Presbytery for a new hearing by order of the judicial commission of the Presbyterian Synod of North Carolina. The majority opinion of the judicial commission of the Synod, which announced its decision Tuesday in Raleigh, upheld the contention of 146 members of the local church who signed a com plaint to the Synod against the discharge of their pastor, the Rev. Charles M. Jones. The com plainants said that the method of dismissal showed “manifesta tions of prejudice” and “injus tices of judgement and action." Following is the Synod Com mission’s four-part decision, send ing the matter back to the Pres bytery and ordering a new hear ing in the case: “(1) That the new hearing be held immediately and in accord ance with paragraph 1811 of the Book of Church Order. “(2) That the dissolution of the pastoral relationship of the Rev erend Charles M. Jones and the Chapel Hill Presbyterian church be continued until the issue of i the hearing is settled. I “(3) That the present direct oversight of the Chapel Hill Presbyterian church by the Pres bytery of Orange continue until this hearing is concluded, or as long as the Presbytery may deem necessary short of that time. j “(4) That the Reverend Charles M. Jones and the Chapel Hill Presbyterian church be given the opportunity by the Presbytery of Orange of due process and trial J as soon as possible, if so desired by either party, in accordance with paragraph 1811 es the Book of Church Order.” Four members of the 16-man Synod Commission vigorously, protested section two of the above motion, whereby the pas tor's discharge was continued pending final settlement of the issue. They said that Hr. Jones should be allowed to return to his pulpit during the coming .yo'-eed-1 lags and they asked that their dissent in this respect be record ed in the Synod’s minutes. These men were the Rev. Hsrry Mos- ( sett of Gastonia, the Rev. Tom Hamilton of Kinston, William G. McGavock of Davidson, and Philip (Continued on page 8) To Break Ground For New Church The Church of the Holy FamilyJ the new Episcopal congregation! organized here last year, will hold a ground-breaking ceremony atj 5 p.m. Sunday, June 7, at its building site on U.S. Route 15 near Glen Lennox, it was an nounced yesterday by the Rev.

Where Commencement Crowd Will Gather at This Week-End SQIL.* * A* at * ” f The campus lawn around the big white oak tree shown here will be the gathering place for hundreds of visi tors coming to the Univer sity Commencement which begins tomorrow and ends with the graduation exer cises in the Kenan stadium Monday evening. The oak stands on the central square of the campus between the Old West build ing and the Davie Poplar Wedding Ring Lost Thirty Years Ago Is Found in the Warrens' Front Yard An amazing series of coinci dences were linked together last jvwekend to bring about uie re turn of Mrs. Dudley CarrolPs wedding ring which had been lost for 80 years. I Mrs. Carroll said she didn't know exactly when she last had the ring, but thought she took it off in 1924 when it started be coming a bit tight on her Anger. “1 was pretty vague about what had become of it,” she said, “but after I noticed it was missing I thought it had probably been I stolen along with several other pieces of jewelry that were taken from our room in a -J’aris hotel in 1924.” * That wasn't the case at all, though, because lust Friday a boy working in the yard of the Joseph C. Warrens' home at 116 Hattie Lane found the ring wedged between two rocks to the front yard. Inside the band was .engraved “Dudley to Eleanor, 6/27/1918." The Warrens didn’t have any idea whose ring it was, so they had the boy take it to a local jeweler’s to see if he had any clue as to who the owner might he. Failing to get any further information from the jeweler, the boy asked the first person he saw ’when he came out of the store if he had any idea about it. This person happened to be a 1 member of the ATO fraternity. Six Years* Perfect School Attendance | Mr. and Mrs. Frank Carlisle's four children completed a year lof perfect attendance at school , this week. Eleven-year-old Jack Carlisle, > who Anithed the sixth grade, has 1 not missed a day or been tardy 1 for tha six years he has been to school. He 1* the only pupil in the school with such a record, 1 according to the principal, Miss i Mildred M. Mooaeyhan. The Carlisles’ other three chil dren, all with no absences or i tardies for this past year, are Frank, 3rd, who is in the ninth grade; Elizabeth, to the eighth i grade, and Geddie, who has just flnished the fifth grade. Mrs. Carlisle said she couldn’t i take any of the credit herself for their spotless records. She said they just seemed to take a spe cial pride themselvea in not miss ling school and being on time. She i usually drives Frank and Elisa i beth to school each morning, while Jack and Geddie ride their bicycles. i In all, 45 elementary school children have perfect attendance recorda for the elementary school , this year. Last year there were , 29. Thlrty-flve pupils were never 'tardy or absent even part of a |day. They wert as follows: The Chapel Hill Weekly 5 Cents a Copy 1 and close to Person hall.

Totten, the 1 botanist, was asked how old " the tree was he said he didn’t know. Nobody can tell the age of a tree until it is ! cut down and the rings are i counted. “This white oak may be two hundred years old,” said Mr. Totten, “or Knowing Mrs. Carroll’s son Don ald as a fraternity brother, and knowing his sister to be named Eleanor, and remembering th* name Dudley as th* first name of the retired dean of the School of Business Administration, he culled Donald, who confirmed that the ring was his mother’s. The Carrolls lived on Park place, only a long block from Battle lane, in the early 1920’5, but they have no idea how the ring could have got from there to what is now the Warren home.

Chapel Mill Chaff In last week’s New York er (issue of Saturday, May 30) I saw two picture-jokes that reminded me of two Chapel Hillians. Literally, these persons do not belong to the village, but they have both spent many years in it, they visit it often, and they are so closely related to it and so devoted to it that they deserve to be called Chapel Hillians. And, you may be sure, are pleased to be so called. One of them is Watts Hill, after whose name, if I were following the Time - Life style, I would place the phrase, “Durham tycoon." The other is Attorney Gen eral Harry McMullan, a citi zen of Washington, N. C., but by reason of his office a resi dent of Raleigh. After I had looked at page 19 I telephoned to Watts Hill’s office. He wasn’t in but his secretary took down the following note from my dic tation. “Look on page 19 of the latest New Yorker and you’ll see a picture that tells what your ambition is.” The picture on page 21, a iuoy in a waste of water, sur mounted by a sign reading “You are now entering Texas,” proclaims, for the delight of Harry McMullan and the attorneys general of the other states in the Union, an ambition already achiev ed. These attorneys general, far fnsm helping along a states’ grab, as many people were led mistakenly to think, helped to prevent a shame ful central-government grab. The picture on page 19, about which I sent the note to. Watts Hill, shows a cor poration board of directors in meeting. The directors are (Continued on page §) I mobilized in the fall of 1945.

Hason Graduates with Honors George Hason, jr., was grad uated cum laude from Davidson College last Monday. He had the second highest academic average in his class. Old Golf Course May Be Re-Designed A campaign to flx up the 1 Chapel Hill Country Club’s golf course has been started by club members. If enough interest is shown in | the idea the nine-hole course will 1 be re-designed and laid out in 1 the valleys around the high hill* which it now traverses. There ere •till about 16 acrea of unused land available on the club grounds which could be used for this pur pose. I According to preliminary eeti- I mates, it would coat about |22,- 000 to re-design the course, pur chase the proper equipment for keeping it up, and pay the salary I of a combination pro and greens-1 keeper for one year. If the club' members can raise fIO,OOO in public subecriptlons they believe they can get the rest of the money from other sources. Pledge cards are now being distributed for public subscrip tions, which would obviate the initiation fee for club member ship. It is estimated that at least 100 persons will need to give sub scriptions of from S6O to SIM to resch the goal.
