FRIDAY ISSUE Next Issue Tuesday No. 33 Vol. 60 Chapel Hill’s Injured “Cats Play Tonight In Carrboro Chapel Hill High School’s injury-ridden football team tackles Southern High School of Durham County at the Carrboro Lion’s Club Park toiifcht at 8 o’clock. “But, injuries or no injuries, if we keep up the hustle and spirit j we’ve shown in the last two: games,’’ Coach Bob Cultonj said yesterday, “we’ll give them a tough game.” However, as Coach Culton counted the injuries on the Wildcats’ squad he could have called for the crying towel. He found halfback Clyde Campbell out for the season with a broken right collarbone, and Haywood Pendergrass unlikely to make tonight’s game because of a cut eye. Wayne Poe hasn’t fully recovered from a pulled tendon, and Ruffin Harville is nursing a bruised side. Instead of weeping, the coach was optimistic, be cause Jimmy Turner, Bob Costello and Neil Clark were putting up a spirited battle for Campbell’s halfback post. Turner probably will get the stilting assignment. So will Ross Jarvis in Pendergrass’ place, and Paul Cheek will fill in for Poe if the latter doesn’t round into shape by tonight. Rudy Barker, too, can step in for Harville if he is unable to start. “It’s the hustle and spirit of the entire team that keeps things from looking too bad,” said Coach Culton. “And even though we under stand Southern High School is supposed to be better than Northern High, we’ll be in there battling.” Community Club Is To Begin Schedule The first meeting of the Chapel Hill Community Club for the en suing academic year will be held at 3 pm. today (Friday) at the lipatute of Pharmacy building. Introduction of the officers and department chairmen will con-! stitute the program, and it will be followed by a tea for which Mrs. J. M. Tilley and Mrs. S. B. Cameron are co-hostesses. M rs.

Square Dance Tonight A square dance will be held at 8 o’clock this (Friday) evening in the U.N.C. women’s gymnas ium (at the rear of Woollen gym nasium). Everybody is invited. Srs. Beth Okun will call the tures. Drive Now Going On Brilliant Stars, Regardless of Box Office Attraction, Is Aim of Series The object of the Chapel Hill Concert Series "is to bring bril liant stars, not all of whom are necessarily box office attractions, to our community.” That statement of purpose was expressed by Jim Wallace, sec rfljsry of the Concert Series and who firmly believes in the value of the series to Chapel Hill. "Rise Stevens, for instance,” commented Mr. Wallace, “is a box office star. We wouldn’t bring her here. The Student Entertain ment Committee on the campus would. That’s the difference.” Last year the Concert Series WHEN IS THE WEDDING? When the Cole family held its reunion at Lystra church last Sunday, Mrs. SalHe Mc- Cauley Cole of Raleigh waa seen wearing an engagement ring. When queetioned as te who gave it to her, aha readily replied the man waa C. E. Hornaday, Chapel Hill realtor associated with the Service In surance and Realty Company. Whan la the wedding? No one waa aMe to gat that teforasa tiaa from either her or Mr. Hornaday.

B. Robbins Store, spewing hot chemicals and dark green smoke. The grenade apparently was thrown in the small hours of the morning.

Internationally famous in the field of psychometric research and psychology, he came here to the University in 1352 from the University of Chicago, where his 28 years of work had won him world-wide fame in his field. He is survived by his wife, Thelma Gwynn Thurstone, also a faculty member of the University here, and three sons.

"We’re going to continue on the same plane this year,” said Mr. Wallace, "attempting to set the Chapel Hill Concert Series apart from the routine series which are held in every town of any size—they come a dime a dozen.” Mr. Wallace went over this year’s programs on the Series: Ruggiero Ricci, violinist; the Bach Aria Group, directed by William H. Scheide; the Mozart Piano Festival, with Boris Gold ovsky; and Hilde Gueden, so prano. Mr. Ricci’s concert is scheduled for Oct. 27; the others will follow on Dec. 12, Feb. 24, and April 27. Season tickets for the Series, will all seats reserved, costs $5.50, $6.50 or $7.50, depending on where you sit. If you buy concert tickets separately, in stead of for the season, you would pay a total of $9, sll or $lB, respectively, for the same seats. Jamas H. Davis of ths Univer sity Florist is directing the ticket sales campaign.

At their meeting last Monday the club members learned that the Cow dens use the following lawn mix tures: One pail of rye grass seed, one pail of cotton seed meal, one pail of fertilizer, one-fourth pail of lime, one-fourth pail of bone meal, one handful of Dutch Clover. The Cowdens use this mixture in the early fall, and then a sec ond time on bare spots or sparse spots, at the rate of 100 pounds of rye grass per half acre. All the ingredients are mixed togeth er in a large tub or garden cart and then spread with a seed spreader. Iveys Have a Fire, But Damage Slight A floor furnace caught on fire at the Pete Iveys’ Tuesday morn ing, but damage was slight. The Glen Lennox f)re truck arrived after the fire had been put out with the help of neighbors. "The only newsworthy incident about the whole thing,” reported Mrs. Ivey yesterday, “was what our daughter, Sally, did.” According to Mrs. Ivey, Sally, who is 9W years old, picked up her father’s typewriter and carried it out to safety when the fire started. Her mother ques tioned her about it. "I saved Daddy's typewriter so ha could work,” explained Sally.

One was that it prob ably was thrown from an auto mobile. Another was that some person, with nothing better to do, stood on the curb and tried to see how far he could roll it down the sidewalk.

Ckaptl MillCkall J. J. A comment on the vast change undergone by Chapel Hill in the last two or three decades was given the other day by George Livas, who came here about thirty years a; . ‘Between the University’s Si mer term and fall term e rything in town closed up by 8 p. m.,” he said. “There used to be a bench on the sidewalk under the tree in front of the bank, and some of us would loaf there in the evening after we got off from work. About quarter past eight one night three or four of us were sit ting there talking when we heard a yell from a window over Lacock’s Shoe Shop. “It was John Foister, who roomed up there and had already gone to bed. He was the police chief then, I be lieve. He stuck his head out the window and said he couldn't »Uep with all that noise going on And that he’d arrest us for disturbing the peace if we didn’t shut up and go home.” * * * The Weekly’s policy on what to capitalize and what not to capitalize may be in for a change. All these years it has tried to be sparing of caps. It’s something hard tit be consistent in.

But it has also always said Davie Pop lar, Morehead Planetarium, Coker Arboret*m, %nd Gra- Memorial.V* „ Present members of the staff think the paper should adopt a more consistent pol icy in this. The question is whether to capitalize every thing possible or lower-case everything possible. Either way, it’s hard to hue to the line.

University Chancellor R. B. House said yesterday the issue is closed for the present time and is not being submitted to the Board of Trustees for consideration. Support for the process, heralded as a major means of preventing tooth decay in young children, was spearheaded by University dental officials some three years ago. It was endorsed by the Board of Aldermen about two years ago after civic organi zations here, and dental and medical societies in Orange County and Chapel Hill an nounced their support. Thomas Rose, town manager, pointed out that the Board of Aldermen has no jurisdiction in the matter since the University controls the town’s water supply. “It’s entirely in the hands of the University,” he said. Several University officials who declined to be quoted by name indicated that approval of the proposal has been delayed by opposition from several members and former members of the Board of Trustees. However, the proposal has not. been dealt a death blow, according to some Uni versity officials. “The University is not blocking it,” said J. S. Bennett, director of operations for Chest Driw Is Slated-for Nov. 1-9; Public Hearings Will Be Called Soon The annual Community Chest campaign in Chapel Hill will be held November 1-9, it was decid ed at the meeting of the Com munity Council at the Town Hall here Tuesday night. The council will meet again in the immediate future to receive the report of the evaluating com mittee headed by Roy M. Cole, and then will call public hearings on the chest budget. Mr. Cole told the council that several new agencies had request- I ed admission to the chest this year, and that several others had revised their estimated needs. That prevented his sub-com mittees from acting on the re quests in time for this week’s ses sion. The council, which represents the more than 60 civic, charitable, j fraternal and social organizations I in Chapel Hill, discussed pre paration of a new directory of them and their officem. At the present time, it was pointed out,, there is no complete up-to-date directory of the organizations. Several Bus Schedules Which Serve Village Abandoned by Carolina Coach The Carolina Coach Company has abandoned several bus sche dules serving Chapel Hill. Removed from service are the 1:25 a m. bus to Raleigh and the 2 a.m. bus to Charlotte, and the 11 a.m. Durham-Chapel Hill local bus. In addition, all Chapel Hill- Duiham local schedules are no longer operated on Sundays and holidays. The Monday through Saturday local service is un changed. To compensate for cur tailing local service between Chapel Hill and Durham, how ever, some of the heretofore through buses will make inter mediate pick-ups.

The company also has asked the Utilities Commission for per mission to discontinue its service over a route from Carrboro to Greensboro. The route runs via Antioch Church Road, Concord Church Road, Spring Church Road and Alamance School Road. The company said the run is; losing money because of lack of passengers, and it contends that the public necessity and conveni ence do not demand it. Although the run is designated as Carrboro-Greensboro, the bus under its present schedule leaves! Chapel Hill at 7:16 a.m. forj Greensboro and returns to Chapel Hill at 7:10 p.m. after leaving Greensboro at 5:45 p.m. Exchangeites Set For Napkin Sale The Exchange Club will hold its annual napkin sale in Chapel Hill and Carrboro next Tuesday night. Wallace Williams is chairman of the project, held annually to raise funds to finance the club’s multiple civic and charitable pro jects. He discussed the plans for the sale at the club’s Tuesday night meeting this week at the Ranch House. There will be no meeting next week, because the napkin sale will be held instead.

Why poison all the people in Chapel Hill for six or seven hundred children ?” Dr. John C. Brauer, dean of the University School of Dentistry and a long-time proponent of fluoridation, said a “very conservative estimate” on thf respite «#lke decay has been found in one of every two children from two to three years of age, he said. By the ages of four or five, he added, 90 per cent of the children have de veloped tooth decay. Mr. Bennett said that since members and former members of the Board of Trustees have voic ed vigorous opposition to the pro cess, the issue probably will go before the Board for approval or rejection. Ordinarily, he said, trustee approval would not be I required in such a matter. Some University officials have expressed the opinion that the University should be a leader in incorporating the process since it has been recommended by the American dental and medical so cieties, and has received formal endorsement by the State Board of Health. Opposition to fluoridation has been based on grounds that it would be “mass medication,” that it’s too expensive, or that use of fluorides might adversely affect the human body. However, medical authorities contend that proper fluoridation would be no more poisonous than putting chlorine in water, a basic means of purifying community water supplies. Mr. Bennett said the cost of the operation, if approved, prob ably would be absorbed by the University. The total expense would be about $5,000 for the necessary equipment, and $2,000 a year for the necessary flourides.
