Many Large Trees Felled By Storm The exessive heat was broken for a short time Tues day night by a thunderstorm accompanied by unusually; high winds that blew down many large trees and scat tered broken branches all over town. Electric service was disrupted in some parts of the community. The tallest of the two fine maples on the front lawn of the Methodist church was blown down and fell across the path that passes between the church and the Recrea tion Center. In falling, it sheared away the branches from one side of the other maple that stands in the churchyard. Another tree destroyed by the storm was one of the two huge old cedars in front of the Kay Kyser home at the corner of East Franklin street and Battle lane. It was broken off midway of its trunk and narrowly missed hitting the house and porch as it. fell. These two cedars were planted in 1820 by the late Mrs. Julia Graves’s grandmother, Mrs. William Hooper, who moved into the house about 1815.

Lyons Has Hard Job of Deciding Whether To Have Kxercises Outdoors or Indoors The job of deriding whether the University’s graduation exercises are to be held indoors or out doors falls to the lot of J. Cori den Lyons, faculty marshal for the ceremonies. About 80 per cent of the time the weather is obviously clear and there is no danger of rain, so that he is safe in having the exercises held in Kenan stadium. Hut on more than a few occasions—such as this past Monday night—the prospect is for rain, and he has the exer cises moved indoors. Although he usually guesses right on what the weather will he, Mr. Lyons has in recent years depended on the opinion of the U.S. Weather Bureau Station at the Raleigh-Durham Airport to help make his decision when he ia in doubt. "When I called up there Monday the man said it looked very risky and might rain,” he said. “Most of tha time they say they can’t guarantee anything, but I decided to follow his advice, so the exercises were transferred to Woollen gym nasium.” As it turned out, it didn’t min during the exercises and it waa unusually hot and steamy on tha jam-packed gymnasium floor, especially for the 1,500-odd do gma candidates wearing caps and gowns. This brought out tha hindaight in many local citisana, Mr. Lyons said, and they’vs aaid to him ainca then “Why, I could have told you it wasn’t going to min. Why didn’t you ask m»?" Fortunately it’s not too diffi cult to make the switch from out doors to indoors, since complete duplicate arrangements for the ceremonies nre made both at the stadium, and gymnasium. But Mr. Lyons has set a personal deadilns of 4:so p.m. for making his de cision so that all of tha neces- Repair Service Mevea The Tilghman Repair Service, owned and operated by G. R.

Chapel Mill Chaff By Joe Jones You’d think the Mason Farm road out beyond Vic tory Village would be a nice quiet place to live. The homes out there are big comfortable looking establishments set well apart in shady lawns. The road meanders past over the hill and through the pines and gives the impres sion that it isn’t going any where in particular. Traffic seems light enough. I don’t remember having seen more than one or two cars at a time out that way. Carson Ryan, who lives there, tells me this is a cruel delusion. “It was all right before the cut-off was built,’’ he said. “Now hell breaks loose every afternoon at five o’clock. At that time people who work in Chapel Hill and live in Durham or Raleigh or other places in that direc tion jump in their cars and race by here for the cut-off. You’d think they were try ing to see which one could get there first. Sometimes we have to wait several min utes to get out of our drive way if we want to go any where at that time of day.” This is certainly a far cry from the old Mason Farm road I used to know when I was a student walking over its red clay ruts on some senseless expedition to Mor gan’s Creek or Laurel Hill. That was before Victory Vil lage was dreamed of and when the only house on the entire road was a Negro family’s cabin under the oaks at what is now the turn-off into Purefoy road. While we were on the sub ject of traffic Mr. Ryan told he recently got a safe* driving award from the American Automobile As sociation but that he return ed it. "A routine questionnaire they sent me asked when I (Continued on page t) sary persons can be notified of the change. This year was the first time since 104 H that the threat of rain forced the ceremonies indoors. In liMH, with General George Mar shall as the main speaker, the ex ercises were held in Memorial hall. This was the last year that diplomas were awarded indviid uaily. Rain disrupted the ceremunies ufter they had begun in Kenan Stadium in 1940, Mr. Lyons re called. “Everyone had to dash madly over the hill to Woollen gymnasium in the rain. It was a pretty good trek in their caps and gowns «nd about half of them didn’t come." Another time, Mr. Lyons re called, because of the wordiness of the commencement speaker, the Kenan stadium throng got a thorough soaking. “He kept on talking just long enough so that the downpour began before tha people could leave,” said Mr. Lyons. “Peopla will put up with bad weather at a football game, hut not for graduation exercise*.” General Assembly Upholds Jones Ouster The discharge of tha Rev. Char les M. Jones from his local Pres byterian pastorate was in effect upheld this week by the Gen eral Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, U.S., meeting in Mon treat. Mr. Jones may now seek a church court trial on specific charges if he wanta it, or he may be brought to a trial by Orange Presbytery if it desirea. I If he were cleared In such a trial ha would probably be allowed to return to his pulpit here. But few people here think that e for mal trial would alter Orange Pree bytery’s present decision that the minister be discharged. Mr. Jones’ present status is that his re lationship with ths local church waa severed by the Presbytery as of March 1, "because the inter ests of rsligion imperatively de mand it” No further specific charges for his firing, other than this reason, and “for the $3 a Year in County; other rates on jttgff Z Bank of Chapel Hill Plans To Increase Stockholders By a Five-for-One Division 012000 Outstanding Shares Folk Festival Under' Way in Stadium The sixth annual Carolina Folk Festival opened here last night and will continue through this (Friday) eve ning and tomorrow evening.

In view of the 1963 Gen eral Assembly’s enactment of important legislation af fecting banks in North Caro lina, the Bank of Chapel Hitt is making plans to split ita stock five shares for one. The directors are calling a special meeting of the ahodc holders for the purpose of asking their approval of the split. Under the proposed plan, every stockholder will be giv en five shares of $lO par value stock for each share of the SSO par value stock now held. Since there are 2,000 shares outstanding now, this will increase the number of Bank of Chapel Hill shares to 10,000. Those stockholders now holding more than ten shares will be requested to ash a certain percentage of their new stock for the purpose of placing it with new stock holders. Under this plan. If approved by the stockhold ers, it is expected that enough stock will be avail able to take care of maiy people who have long ex pressed a desire to buy stock in the Bank of Chapel 188. All officers and directors of the bank, as well as most of the largest stockholders, have agreed to this plan. At present no one person owns more than seven per cent of the stock.
