Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Hwalin came to Chapel Hill in 1936 and H* became director of an orches tra four year* later, which gave it* first concert at Meredith Col lege on May 16, 1940. Two year* later the North Carolina Sym phony Society was organized and communities throughout the state were invited to form their own chapter* and subscribe a mini mum amount to finance their con cert*. The plan ha* had a re eral chairman of the chest drive, announced Monday that U. D. Carroll and Crowell Little will head the special gifts division of the drive. Mr. Carroll is a former dean of the School of Business Administration, and Mr. Little is president of the Chapel Question of Special Police Personnel To Guard School Crossings Is Raised The Board of Aldermen was expected last night to consider a possible means of correcting a dangerous situation in Chapel Hill, the solution of which may call for aid from parent-teach er’s associations. At present all members of morning and afternoon shifts of the town’s police force, except the desk man, are called to duty at school crossings for hour-long periods. The job of caring for school children during the busy hours is considered an essential chore, but it has taken the of ficers away from their police cars. The resulting situation is one in which law enforcement against speeders and other pos sible violators is weakened. Alderman Bill Alexander has been spearheading a drive to get Chapel Hill “four or five” wo men traffic officers to man the school crossings and relieve the policemen for more pressing and perhaps more essential duties. However, Mr. Alexander said the employment of such traffic officers may be too expensive for Chapel Hill because no money for such service has been provid ed in this year’s budget. Mr. Alexander made a survey of similar programs in other communities before lie wus to present the idea to the aldermen lust night. Durham pays its wo men traffic officers a total of $495 for 180 days service con sisting of 46 minutes in the mornings and 46 minutes in the afternoons, he said. However, he said, Chapel Hill probably could not ufford even this small sum. Mr. Alexander said he proba bly wouuld suggest to the board that u committee be appointed to look into the possibility ol I'TA groups or some other com munity organization carrying out the program us u civic project. With only two women traffic officers the main problem would be relieved, he said. FT A organi zations here already have en dorsed the idea, he added. Mr. Alexander cited as an ex ample of the problem the number of police officers needed at school crossings at Chapel Hill Kleinent ary School on West Franklin s> ! markable success and the orches tra of skilled musicians has be- ( come something of which the state can be justly proud.

One policeman is stationed behind the school on Cameron avenue, another in front of the school on West Franklin and a third at the intersection of West Franklin and Columbia in front of Pritchard-Little Motor Com pany, he said. As a result, he said, not one member of the police force on the morning shift is in his patrol car. In order for the desk officer to contact one by radio, he has to call Obie Davis’ service station where someone can notify the officer in front of the school that he is wanted on his car radio. The problem, Mr. Alexander said, is a “serious” one. It is hoped, he udded, that noma funds can be found to hire at least one or two women traffic of ficers if community organizations are unable to take on the job.

In a bitter struggle, Hills boro counted in the first j period as the result of a I Chapel Hill miscue, but the j Wildcats went 55 yards on j the second half opening ■kickoff to knot the score. It looked bad for the lo cals early in the first quarter when a high pass from cen ter sailed over Gene Smith’s head and was recovered by Hillsboro on the Chapel Hill 12. After making a first down on the two yard line, Fete Oakley went over for the first score. He ran over the extra point, too. In the opening minutes of the second half, Rudy Bark er passed 25 yards to Paul Cheek, who was finally brought down on the Hills boro 15. Smith went over from the four three plays later, and Tommy Goodrich added the extra point. The two teams battled on about even terms in the sec ond and fourth periods. Ex cellent defensive play by Tommy Hogan and Ross Jar vis was outstanding for the locals, and Ronald Gattis and Garland Spanger were good fordlillsboro. Coach Bob Culton was well pleased with the show ing of the Wildcats. Three times in the latter part of the game Chapel Hill was backed up to the 10 but held. "I was tremendously pleas ed,” the coach stated. “And if we stick to it like we’re going now, we’re going to keep on improving. I thought Tommy Hogan, Ross Jarvis, Paul Cheek, and Richard Gunter were exceptional on defense and that Gene Smith ran well.” Goodrich suffered a blow on the head and was kept overnight in the hospital but released Saturday. He is ex pected to be ready for Gra ham this coming Friday. New, Stand Is Cloned Miss Stella I.yon has fluxed her news stand in the lobby of the I’ost Office.

At Yule Drama School she played the part of Alkmena in another play by Giraudoux, “Amphytrion 3H”; other university roles have been at Lincoln University, Pa., Princeton University, and The Carolina Playmakers in 1949, as Olivia in “Night Must Fall." Cast as the handsome but somewhat unimaginative knight errant, Hans, is James Heldman of Durham and Chapel Hill. After serving in the U. H. Air Force from 1961 to 1966, Mr. Heldman re-entered the University’s de partment of dramatic art as a senior, and hopes eventually to do university or community theatre work. Some of his more recent acting roles have been the lead in "The Petrified Forest” at the Community Hummer Theatre, Grand Rapids, Mich.; the lead in "Remains to He Seen" at the same theatre; the lead in "Good bye, My Fancy" at the Civic The atre in Grand Rapids; and sup porting roles in the Carolina Playmakers’ "Julius Caesar" last year, and in "Unto These Hills” at Cherokee.

I blame this on the Hagzard ijotor Company that was here for many years. Ac customed to that extra z in the company’s name, people began putting it in the com mon noun. We were guilty of it here at the Weekly. In fact, I was so corrupted by the Hazzard Motor Company that I put an extra z in liz ard in a Robbins ad about lizard-skin shoes. A name many of us mis pronounce is Kutz, as in Wilbur Kutz. Some pro nounce it as cuts, others as coots. Wilbur says both are wrong. He pronounces it to rhyme with foots. But Kutz is far from be ing the name most often mispronounced in Chapel Hill. The champion is Ras coe, as in R. D. Rascoe, who is on the staff of Lenoir Dining Hall, and Mrs. R. D. Rascoe, assistant manager of the N. C. Cafeteria. About ninety-nine per cent of their Chapel Hill friends and ac quaintances call them Ros coe. Nobody knows why. Mr. and Mrs. Rascoe say this is the only town they’ve ever lived in where people don’t call them by their right name. Once when I was getting a news item about Mr. Ras coe the person giving me the information said, “He signs his checks Rascoe, but don't spell it that way in the paper because if you do nobody will know who you mean.

The fire department, the Junior Chamber of Com merce, and the Orange Coun ty Insurers Exchange, Inc., combined forces in a cam paign to educate residents in fire prevention. % This year’s slogan for Fire Prevention Week is “Don’t give a fire a chance to start.” The program is sponsored nationally by the National Fire Protection Association in cooperation with the In ternational Association of Fire Chiefs.

Public and private schools, businesses, fraternity houses and public buildings will be inspected. Fire drills and con tests will be held in schools. Chief Boone has urged Chapel Hill residents to take special pre cautions against fire during the fall aeason and in preparation for winter. A high percentaga of fires start from furnaces, or oth er type of heaters, and from the burning of leaves, rubbish or other trash, he said. «Med. Chief Boone, whose men were out putting up posters for the week, listed eight principal causes of fire in homes in this order: careless smoking und handling of mutches; misuses of electri city; defective or overheated heating and cooking equipment; improper disposal of rubbish; careless handling of kerosene, gasoline, and other inflummubte liquids; lighting; defective or (Continued on page 6) the highest honor that could be given to a librarian by a North Carolina library organization.

The sum was half of the campaign funds, the oth er half being turned over to the national headquarters under regulations of the campaign. National headquarters, however, upon request, gives counties aid after they have used up their half of the campaign proceeds. Orange county usually is on the “re ceiving end,” said E. C. Smith of Chapel Hill, chair man of the group's fund raising committee. 1 I)r. O. David Garvin, dis trict health officer, said 11 cases of the disease have been reported in Orange county to date this year. Os the total, however, only nine were officially reported, and eight of the victims were 18 years of age or older, he said. Mr. Fambrough said most of the $5,366 has been given out in aid to two iron lung cases, but other aid, such as braces, has been given other polio victims. Mr. Fambrough said he will make an application to national headquarters as soon as the bal ance of funds is expended, which would probably be this week. Mr. Fambrough said half of the funds held by the county Fm spent within three months, li&ly for «ne case. However, Orange county is not alone in its problems. At least 34 other counties in the state have been reported without funds to continue aid to their polio vic tims this year, despite the state’s million dollar campaign. Rex Fdison, 1956 March of Dimes state chairman, said “If we need proof, which we don’t, that polio is not licked yet, we have only to look at the finan cial plight of our own county chapters. The condition faced by North Carolina and the nation for the next few years makes it imperative that the people every where make an all-out effort in the Murch of Dimes next Jan uary.” Mr. Smith, chairman of the Orange county fund raising com mittee, said committeemen al ready are being contacted for the 1966 campaign. Last year’s campaign contri butions in Orange county totaled lhe highest on record (pr the county. The contributions next year will have to exceed this year’s if the county is to con tinue its present aid in the face of increasing costs of treatment, campaign officials said.
