Three Old Apple Trees on a Hill That Wasn't Lonely By Ina B. For bun The hill ie a steep rise in a grain field. We eee it every time we come in or go out of our driveway. We see it when we walk up the dirt road lead ing to the neighboring farms. The three apple trees had stood at the top of the hill for more than anyone around here could remember. They were gnarl ed. Their applee were neither large nor sweet. But to bite into one of them, carefully avoiding the wasp or bee that might aleo be tasting the fruit, was a crunchy, juicy delight - I loved to walk up the hill after the hay had been taken in, or the com picked, or the wheat garnered. The field, clean and sweet-smelling now that its year's work waa deem, stretched all around.

During the past summer a special program provided for supervised play for 160 smaller children from 9 a.m. until noon and for 200 from 12 to 20 years of age in the afternoons. Occupying the lower floor of the center building during day time hours is the Holmes Day Nursery, supported in part by the Community Chest and part from fees paid by parents. The Center is permitted by State reg ! ulations to take only 44 chil |dren with its present facilities. Children are accepted only from homes where both parents are employed and where there is no competent person to take care of them. Among mothers of children at the Center are those who teach, do housework, and hold other income-producing jobs. Approximately 50 per cent of the income comes from fees paid by parents. The Nursery is directed by Mrs. Hubert Robinson. She has two assistants and a cook who pre pares the noon meal. Supervised play inside and out-of-doors, rest periods, cod liver oil and fruit juice are on the daily schedule which runs from 8 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Popularity of the Nursery is attested by the fact that there is a waiting list of 27 eligible ap plicants. ‘ The Executive Committee of the Community Council approved a budget of $6,800 for the Rec reation Center, an increase of $712 over last year’s goal. The Day Nursery’s allocation is $2,- 950, the same as in 1955. the apple trees it swept down unil it reached our driveway. Beyond the driveway and our grova of trees sparkled the creek. Or perhaps the water would be cold and dark, or rushing red with the soil of many farms torn loose by flooding raina. But always the trees, serene in their ancient beauty, were the same. Stead fast and firm, they sought the sky with their branches. We loved them, for they were our friends. It was in the springtime that the old trees really came into their own. They bloomed late enough in the season so that April's freeses hurt them not at all. One morning there they would stand, three of than, in ths fairest nahnent •f all. A tleod of pink and CHAPEL HILL, N. C., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21,1966 Ridgefield Hearing Slated for Monday Before Aldermen Owners of the new Ridge field real estate development east of Chapel Hill are scheduled to appear at a public hearing before the Board of Aldermen Monday night and make another ap peal for annexation. Annexation of the 20-acre area has been turned down by the board’s finance com mi 11 ee. Town Manager Thomas Rose has said that the area is too far from the town’s limits to give it sat isfactory police, fire and garbage collection service. Town vehicles would have to drive more than a mile outside the town limits to service the area, he said. However, owners of the devel opment contend that the town would profit from the’annexation in bringing in more property sub ject to ad valorem taxes. The an nexation, thpy said, would, in the near future, add at least $250,000 to the total property evaluation for tax purposes. • The owners. Herb Wentworth, Bernice Ward, Bill Sloan, and Whid Powell, are proposing the annexation with the offer that they will install sewer lines and pave streets for the first 25 lota of the 86 lot area. Under the proposal the town would not pay for maintenance of the sewer lines until the prop erty evaluation of the area reach es $250,000. Then the town would take over the lines for mainte nance and pay the owners a maximum of $15,000. The development owners op posed the suggestion that they wait and be annexed with other areas such as Greenwood, Glen Lennox and Oak wood. These areas, they said, already have sewer lines, and will get fire pro tection under the fire district for the aoutheaetern area outside town. Therefore, they added, thi area now be interested in annexation. The owners said although the area is not adjacent to the town limits, its annexation would still be legal since the town and the area border a public highway, U.S. 15-601.

The countless golden bees swarmed like an industrious army over all. And the dogs and I would climb the hill to the trees, just to stand there and look.

Now they have a few extra feet of soil on which to plant their crop. But with the taking away of those three old apple trees they destroyed beauty that cm mmrme be replaced.

He says it’s the fault of North Caro lina’s Democratic adminis tration. A man who ate breakfast with Mr. Waller at the Inn cafeteria last Sunday went down the line when Jhe doors opened at 8 o’clock but had to wait till 8:25 for a bus boy to bring his cakes. By then his coffee and sausage were stone cold. It’s that way every Sunday, said the cake eater, adding that the explanation given him was that the bat ter wasn’t ready or the grid dle wasn’t hot when the place opened. “The scrambled eggs and the fried ham and the grits and everything else are al ways ready when they open,” he complained. "I don’t see why they can’t have the batter and griddle ready too.” “I can tell you in one word,” Mr. Waller said. “So cialism. This hotel is owned by the State, and the State is run by the Democrats. They believe in socialism, and socialism doesn’t give a hang about the individual customer and his complaints. If this were a privately owned cafeteria, as it would be under the Republicans, you can bet you wouldn’t sit here every Sunday morn ing waiting for your griddle cakes.” * • • Back in 1989 the Carolina Haymakers gave a produc peared soon afterwards, the story had been considerably doctored for the movie.

Symphony Drive Is Ahead of Schedule More than |2,000 has been net ted in the annual membership drive being conducted by the Chapel Hill chapter of the North Carolina Symphony Society, ac cording to Dudley Cowden, presi dent of the chapter. He added that this amount is considerably more than had been taken in at this stage of last year’s drive, and that many workers have yet to submit their reporta. Mr. Cowden said he was grate ful for the fine cooperation re ceived from the workers and from the people of the commun ity. He expressed the hope that those who have delayed renewing their memberships will do so as soon aa possible and that delay ed new memberships will also come in before the campaign books ana closed.

Mrs. Howdy said the war rants were issued for the arrest of violators who have received and refused to pay for three or more tickets. All warrants, except one for downtown parking, were is sued for violation of Univer sity parking regulations, such as parking on the campus during unauthorized hours, she said. Judge William Stewart gave Mr. Howard permis sion to allow the violators to settle out of court, but specified that they would be required to pay $7.80 in court costs in addition to the fines for parking violations. Violators wishing to take their cause to court were re quired to put up a $25 bond for appearance at the next term of court beginning Monday.

Warrants for their arrest will be issued in the near future unless they vol untarily pay their fines.
