Due care should be exercised no matter how hard or how easy it waa to acquire the funds for such spending. With n governmental unit the same care and consideration should be used, for in almost all instances those who receive certain services from these units of government are al so those who must pay for them. In 1939 when our state legis lature adopted a permanent reve nue bill it was thought that such a bill would more or less stabilize our spending. Each succeeding legislature could then measure its ability to spend by its income under this permanent bill during the last biennium. Beginning with the 1939-1941 biennium, as economic conditions improved and businoss received the impetus Guy Johnson in Nashville Guy B.

Final Community Chest Report Is Made; Drive Reached 91 Per Cent of its Goal In a Anal report to the execu tive committee of the Community Council, Community Chest Chair man Philip P. Green, jr., reported that the 1965 Cheat had received a total of $22,407 in cash and pledges, equaling about 91 per cent of the budget of $24,721. "Naturally,” Mr. Green wrote, H I am disappointed in our failure to reach our goal, in view of the tightness of the budgets of most Chest agencies.

C., FRIDAY, JANUARY 21, 1955 Exams Wiß Begin Today Final examinations for the fall semester will begin today (Friday) at the University and will continue through Saturday, January 29. Registration of new students for the spring semester will be held Tuesday, February 1, and class room work will begin Wednesday, February 2. As usual, there is expected to be a alight drop from the fall semester’s enroll ment of 0,061. partly to her own credo of mod eration in all things. A deep interest in young people seems to us an additional factor in keeping her young. She likes to contrast the amasing capacities of this younger generation with her own. She says many old peo ple are deeply concerned over today’s generation, but she holds nothing but respect for their courage and realistic outlook on life. There has been very little change in Mrs. Cleveland's ap pearance since the above photo graph of her was taken when she was 93 years old. Born in December of 1865, Mrs. Cleveland has many vivid memories of the Civil War days. There was no actual fighting around her home in Virginia on the James River, but the roar of cannon was a familiar sound. The air was sometimes dark with smoke and pungent with the smell of burned gunpowder. With a few words, Mrs. Cleveland brought to life the terrifying scene of raiders galloping law lessly across farm and fence. She told me of an incident that hap | pened to her in those days. A . band of Federal stragglers had i come to the farm in search of food and valuables. In her fear, she had hidden herself behind a ' closet door on which hung sev eral of her mother's dresses. “An officer looked behind the door, saw me and snid, ‘Sissy, are you scared?’ I Mid, ‘Yes, sir,’ in a week voice. He Mid, ’We won’t hurt you.’ But I did not trust him. I never moved till they galloped away.” In 1948 when she wgs 93, Mrs. Cleveland decided to write hen memoirs. 'Things I Remsrabgtifl »• lively sad entertaining look, was the outcome. W«B Written, indeed, it teNs of tbn pest which Is “fascinating and instructive for what it has been.” Mrs. Cleveland was fortunate in that she received an excellent education, an unusual thing for a woman in the South during the 19th century. She feels that her love of learning was inherited from her father, a respected legal adviaer, who died when the was five months old. Her education opened the way to a long, satis fying career of teaching. She established a small school in her home for private pupils, includ ing her two daughters. Here she taught music, as well m school subjects, and owned one of the flrat pianoa in the region. After the death of her hus band, a successful physician, Mrs. Cleveland sold their home in Glasgow, Virginia, and moved to Chapel Hill to be with her daughter. That was almost 30 years ago. Every summer she and Mr. and Mra. Edmister go back to visit in Virginia. In spit# of her age, Mra. Cleve land enjoys crocheting and knit ting. Sha was working on a set of hot-pad caver* when I called on her. During our talk I re marked on the lovely design. She said that she just figured it out as she went along. Mrs. Claveland is a lifelong Baptist and still attends church •ceasienafty. Her relationship toward God and her fellowman is aptly expressed in her book: "As 'no man iivoth or dioth to him aeif,’ I pray earnostly that my life may not havo been in vain, but may have influenced someone to ‘walk in the paths of right eousness for HU Name's Sake.’ ” To Disease Segregation The Chapel Hill branch of tha Woman’s International League for Peace and Freedom will moot at 8 p.m. Wadnaaday, January 26, at tha home of Mra.

The road block booth, to be staff ed by Jaycees, will be placed in the middle of the street and will be in operation *rom 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Both east bound and westbound cars will be stopped.

Since the conquest of the Wolf pack Tuesday night in the Reyn olds Coliseum in Raleigh, there has bean the advent of not only 1 exams but ths biggest snow in years, but in sports circles here nothing has been talked about more than that fine victory. Tar Hse fans, who had no idea their team would be front running in the league at this time, are now vkioning even bigger things, such as ths conftreacs tourna ment championship and the ac companying NCAA playoffs, so greatly have they been impressed by Carolina’s Flaming Five in thfir brilliant exploits.

When the late Lea For grave, the comic strip artist, lived in Chapel Hill several years ago he used to name some of the characters in his pictures for friends in the village. After he moved away there were no Chapel Hill names in comic strips till last Sunday. Now Ray mond Adams shows me a 7- panel layout, in gay colors, entitled “Barney Google and Snuffy Smith,” that was published on that day. In the final panel a fierce-look ing woman is shouting angrily that the prizes which she hoped to win at a county fair had been awarded to persons named Ledbetter, Hickerson, and Pritchard. These are rather unusual names, so it seems likely that, when they ap pear together like this, the artist has had some connec tion with Chapel Hill. His name is given as Fred Las well. I wonder if anybody here knows him? • * * • Mrs. John Rossell (Jess Mebane’s sister), who has been making a round of visits in North Carolina and was here at the last week end with Mrs. Cummins Mebane, has for her New York City home an apart ment in Patchin Place. This is a picturesque little one block dead-end street on the fringe of Greenwich Village, near the Jefferson Market Court and the place where John Masefield, now the British poet laureate, used to be a bartender. Forty-odd years ago I lived around the corner from Patchin Place and I remember it for its qualify of a cosy neighbor hood, Rthera people knew one another fie tt a small town.

It waa twelve years ago that Mrs. Rossell went to a (Continued on pegs 2) touch who has scored 301 point* in 14 games; Jerry Vayda, who smoothly piles up points without anybody’s realising it; the vastly improved Tony Radovich, and Bob Young, who hit ths starting line up simultaneously with the team’s sudden rise to national prominence. They are the five who played the entire State game, without substitution, showing incrsdible marksmanship as they soared to a 20- point lead and then staved off a mighty State challenge for their upset over a team recently ranked second in the nation. Coach McGuire, who has coach ed hie team to its lofty 7-1 con ference position, gives the credit to hk players. "Thk is a team, not a bunch of individuals," he says.
