opening football game
against Oklahoma in Kenan
«ium here Saturday af
oon. Kick-off is 2 p.m.

and tickets will be on sale
at Woollen gym today and
at the stadium tomorrow.
The usual football Satur
day crush of automobiles is
expected to start flowing
into the village by the mid
dle of the morning. High
way patrolmen and local
police officers will be out in
full force.
„ The visiting Oklahoma
team, rated one of the top
in the nation this year, ar

VII, son of Rameses VI, last
year’s mascot, who died
early in September at the
Hogan farm near Chapel

1924 by Vic Huggins, who
was head cheerleader at that
time.
At the Chapel Hill Rotary club
meeting Wednesday, Coach Geor
ge Barclay exuded enthusiasm
over the prospects of the 1955
eleven. "It it the best squad I’ve
ever had at Cbppel Hill,” he de
clared, “aryl it reported in the,
beet physical condition of any
I’ve ever coached."
He pointed out that it has 28
sophomores, but that it would
“be better on both defense and
offenae” than last year.
The Tar Heels will start at
least three sophomore* each
game, "and they will make some
mistakes in the early games, but
will improve as the season goes
along. It is the type of team that
wants to win and will win some
tough games," Coach Barclay un
hesitatingly predicted.
'The 70 Rotarians present were
toid that "there will be very little
noticeable difference between the
first and second teams as far as
both offense and defense are
concerned."

The three gentlemen in the pic
ture above are involved in one of
the most unusual projects ever
undertaken by a civic club in
Chapel Hill. They are making
mouthpieces —to protect teeth
and lips—for members of the
Chapel Hill high school football
team.
The group handling the project
is the Exchange Club, and the
members shown above are, left

Power and Phone Service, Interrupted
By Hurricane lone, Quickly Restored
Chapel Hill and surrounding
areas, although out of the path 1
of Hurricane lone’s power, did
not go entirely unscathed as the
big storm tore across eastern
North Carolina Monday causing
millions «f dollars in damages.
Felled trees and broken limbs
from wind gusts up to 50 miles
an hour knocked out power lines
leaving some 400 homes without
electricity for about an hour and
a half. Telephone service to about
30 to 35 homes was disrupted.
Police, firemen and the Red
Gross here were on alert for any
emergencies, but fortunately, nu
such calls were received.
F. C. Morrow, utilities foreman,
reported “eight or ten" cases of
downed trees and broken limbs
disrupting power lines. Power
was knocked out entirely in the
Country Club section, affecting
about 150 homes, he said. About
200 to 250 homes in west Carr
horo rural section and the Orange
Grove section were without pow
er. However, he added that all
service was restored by night
fall.
Mr. Morrow estimated the to
tal damages as a result of down
ed power lines reached about S2OO
including the cost of having a
ciew working all day to answer
calls.
Mrs. Robert A. Lynch of 24
Valley Park road reported that
the top of a tree blown out by
high wind gusts caused “consid
erable damage” to the family car.
O. S. Hunt, plant manager of
the telephone exchange, reported
disrupted telephone service on
Mann’s Chapel road, four miles
out Pittsboro road, and near
Blackwood Station and New Hope
Church. He said about 30 to 35
homes were without service for
a short time.
Max Saunders, at the Univer
sity filter plant, reported that
only .54 inches of rain fell in
this area between 5 p.m. Sunday
and 5 p.m. Tuesday, considerably
less than the 4.5 inches recorded
members attend that meeting
and take part in the organization.
At that time the new church will
be named, members of the board
of stewards elected, and other
officers selected.
Mr. King said yesterday the
church membership was not re
stricted to any area of town. It
is “open to all who wish to share
the fellowship and program of a
family church with emphasis on
an intimate worship atmosph
ere."

Rosemary Street Residents Arj in Favor
Os No-Parking Ban, bat Slight Majority
Against Proposal That Street Be Widened
Residents of Rosemary
Street are overwhelmingly
of the opinion that a no
parking ban should be slap
ped on the entire length of
their street.
They show no such uni
formity, however, over the
question of whether Rose
mary Street should be
widened. The non-widening
forces have a slight edge at
present.

Tomorrow Evening
Both Chapel Hill and Northern

their first victory in the District
Three, Class AA, football race
when they clash in Durham Ath

night at 8 o’clock.
It will be the Wildcats’ first
conference contest, but Northern

That was to Hillsboro, which
leads the conference now with
two victories against no defeats.
Hillsboro meets Oxford high to
day at Hillsboro.
The local Wildcats rule a fa

because of experience and be
cause it now appears that they
have found themselves. Coach
Bob Culton has been putting them
through as stiff a pace as pos

the spirit and the determination
to win. He publicly said so last
Monday.

The Orange county unit of the

Chapel Hill as executive secre

I Mr. Reckendorf succeeds Mrs.
Lloyd McCuskill, who resigned
when her husband completed his
training in the University Medi

Part of the educational pro
gram of the unit, Mrs. Brink
hous stated, consists of making

Parking Violators
Are Forking Over
Holders of multiple traffic
tickets for parking violations
have been pouring into the Town
Hall during the last week to
fork over their $1 per ticket to
Mrs. Barbara Howdy, who is in
charge of that work under the
jurisdiction of the police depart
ment.
Mrs. Howdy has already col
lected some SBOO in ticket pay
ments for the month of Septem
ber. A total of SBOO was collect
ed for the entire month of Au
gust.
The recent information that
persons with three or more un
paid parking tickets will be
prosecuted in the local .Record
er’s Court seems to have scared
a great many people into settling
their accounts with the police de
partment.
Also, the presence in town of
a great many new student cars
means that more tickets are be
ing written. Owners of the new
crop of student cars often take
parking regulations lightly until
they collect a few tickets and
realize the town and University
mean business.
IW aim IMh«r
Rosemary Street, and (2)
widening the street He ask
ed for comments and ideas.
A tabulation of the replies
shows: 37 favor the pro
posed no-parking ban, while
8 oppose it; 13 are in favor
of widening the street, but
18 are against that sugges
tion ; and two people ex
pressed the opinion that
Rosemary Street should be
made one-way.
Mr. Rose said he believed
some of the persons who
favored the parking ban
realized something should
be done to expedite traffic
flow on Rosemary Street,
and preferred first a trial
of no parking. If that didn’t
work, he believed some of
them then might be more
favorable to widening the
street.
A survey of the comments in
some of the letters indicates a
wide variance of opinion as to
what course should be followed,
plus fears that any parking ban
or widening would tend to make
Rosemary Street more hazardous
for both vehicles and pedes
trians.
Grover C. Bush, J. S. Mat
thews, William McCauley, Mrs.
W. B. Sorrell, and the Joe Bis
sels favored elimination of park
ing. Mr. Bush wrote that
“streets are for traffic and not
for parking." Mr. Matthews
added, “Let’s do something about
it and stop talking," and Mr.
McCauley penned only two tors#
words: “No parking."
The Bissels also suggested
more speed law enforcement and
erection of caution signs «| the
Rosemary Street and Pritchard
Avenue intersection, because
many children cut through Walk
er Funeral Home lot and eroaa
Rosemary at Pritchard. For
•nswer.” But she was “violently
opposed" to widening the street
as “this would simply mean the
opening up of a speedway and.
giving Chapel Rill a street, per
haps, washed in the blood of our
beloved people and friends."
Similar hazards were noted by
J. E. King and Wallace E. Cald
well. Mr. King wrote: “If the
street is widened or parking pro
hibited it will be turned into a
speedway for college boys . . .
Its very quality of narrowness
enforces careful driving.” Mr.
Caldwell felt that “the only
thing that holds speed down is
the parking . . . We are quite
certain that if Rosemary street
is made a throughway, we will
have some children injured or
killed.”
Both Charlie Maddox and
Harold Weeks felt otherwise. If
it’s widened, “I don’t think it
would be any more of a speed
way than what it is now,” wrote
Mr. Maddox. Mr. Weeks said he
couldn’t "imagine that making
it a street on which no parking
is allowed would cause any more
speeding on the street than is
now indulged in."
W. T. McGalliard had another
reason. “In many cases, as in
my own,” he wrote, “widening
would sacrifice whole rows of
shade trees that have been care
fully tended for many years and
that are essential to the comfort
able use of property for resi
dential purposes.”
“We would certainly hate to
have our property completely
ruined (by widening),’’ wrote
Miss Nelle Andrews, “to take
part of the yard to make another
parking lot for students, and
that is what ty would amount to
if the street is widened and park
ing allowed.”
I Other replies contained recom
mendations for more police pa
trol of Rosemary Street and
erection of more speed limit
signs. But Walter D. Creech
topped that off with a sugges
tion “that the Board of Alder
men urge University authorities
to take the obvious step which
would solve most of tha traffic
problems in Chapel Hill. That is,
to forbid the possession of can
by able-bodied undergraduates."
