FRIDAY ISSUE Next bstte Tuesday Vol. 33 No. 30 Board Grants Zone Change Asked for the Bypass Area Lloyd Gardner finally got his Durham highway bypass property re-zoned by the Board' of Aldqrmen on Mon day night. Mr. Gardner had request ta change from a residen classification to sub urban commercial several weeks ago. The request was referred to the Planning Board, and the board made several suggestions with which Mr. Gardner complied. The entire tract which was re-zoned is owned by Mr. Gardner. He plans to operate a service station, motel, and restaurant there, and had reportedly begun work on the service station prior to the passage of the zoning ordinance. Attorney William Stewart had previously appeared be fore the Board of Aldermen to oppose the change. He represented Robert F. Logan and other property-holders in the area. On Monday evening a pub lic hearing prior to final ac tion on the zoning change was the first order of busi ness. The meeting started a little late, shortly after 7:30, jfel no one asked to speak on either side of the question. Mr. Gardner was present, however. Mayor Oliver Cornwell asked for discussion from the floor, and silence an swered him. He invited a motion from the board, and Alderman Paul Wager moved to make the change in accordance with Mr. Gard ner’* request. The vote was taken and the jMtioA can ned. „ f Hardly before the echo of the voting had died out, Mr. Stewart walked in the door. He sat down without com ment, as the board moved to new business. He had missed the entire hearing. Later in the evening, an other knotty zoning problem cropped up. 4 The Porthole Restaurant, behind the University Serv ice Plants building on East Franklin street, had written the board requesting that a lot next to its building be (Continued on page 12) Art Guild Chooses Its New Officers The School Art Guild’* officer* for the coming year are Mr*.

According to weather re cords available in Chapel Hill, along with the memor ies of old-time residents, the village has experienced the longest consecutive stretch of cool weather ever to visit it in the month of June. No record has been set, however, for a single low temperature. Only last year, on June 6, a low of 42 de grees was recorded g the University Filter Plant. The coolest day recorded for June of this year was Wed nesday of this week when the thermometer slipped to 47 degrees in the early hours of morning. Max Saunders, superinten dent of the Filter Plant, said as far as he knew this was the longest cool period on record for June. “For the period June 6 through June 16,” Mr. Saun ders said, “in 1954 we had six days when the maximum temperature was over 90, and only two days when the minimum dropped below 60. For the same period this year we have had only two Mays over 90, and nine days when the minimum dropped below 60.” Maximum temperatures for June days almost always yun above 80, Mr. Saunders continued, but in the past 10-day period there have been four days when the Wgh for the day was below 80, and two days when it jhst reached the 80-degree Dark. In contrast, tost year, eftry day from Jhne 6 through June 16 ahowed MggjPMl temperatures in the maximum and minimum temperatures for the period June 6 through June 16 (yester day), comparing this year with the same period for last (Continued on pago 12) No Trace of Robert Madden Is Found; * Vanished While Boating on Mississippi New* reports from Baton Rouge, La., yesterday indicated the disappearance of 25-year-old Robert Madden of Chapel Hill was still a mystery.

Grumpfness is a disagree able trait in anybody but it is particularly disagreeable in people who serve you food. It detracts seriously from the zest of eating. Like some other bad traits in the realm of manners it is en countered more frequently in cities than in small towns. In restaurants in cities I have often been waited on by persons who behave aa if you were offering them an affront by appearing in their sight. The thought happens to occur to me that almost never do I have this experi ence in Chapel Hill. The smiles and cordial greetings that I like as an accompani -1 ment to my meals are plenti ful here. When my wife and l. went to Harry’s Grill U> get some battercakes Sun day morning we couldn’t have been welcomed with more evidence of pleasure, or addressed with sweeter language, if we had been Queen Elizabeth and her Prince Consort, and it’s the same way when we go to the Carolina Coffee Shop or the Porthole or Danziger’s or Gooch’s or the N. C. Cafe teria or the Monogram or the Pines or any other pt our eating houses. I have been specially impressed with the friendliness and good moa ners of the University stu dents who handle trays sad attend to various other du ties at the Carolina |KB Cafeteria.
