TUESDAY ISSUE Next Issue Friday ,33 No. 78 singe Country | Club Organizers Pushing Project Efforts to establish the , )range Country Club will ■not be affected by the re opening of the Chapel Hill Country Club golf course and proposed expansion of its facilities, officials o® he Orange Country Club said yesterday. A member of its board of directors said they expected to begin with in a week or two the issuance of stock certificates and to renew membership campaign,' which was suspended during | the late summer and fall un- j til the Federal tax status of the organization could be definitely fixed. The Orange club now has 70 members, and with that many more, which it hopes to get through the forthcom-j ing drive, will be able to pro ceed immediately with erec tion of a clubhouse and swimming pool. No golf course will be put in immed iately, because, it was said, the Finley golf course now can take care of the demand, i The Orange club, it was pointed out, owns 151 acres of land about 11/>l l /> miles from town and has plans for an golf course to be in stalled when needed. Merger of the Orange and Chapel Hill clubs has been discused, but only with the result that both are pro ceeding on their separate plans. Donald Gates Hurt In Fall From Car Donald Hanhla, game manage ment specialist on the Mason Farm, and his wife were coming home Sunday afternoon from a weekend with' relatives in Burl ington. At 4:15, when they were two miles from Carrboro, Mr. Hankla, at the wheel, saw a little boy fall out of the right rear door of an approaching car that was going about 35 or 40 miles an hour. He stopped his car, ran to the Iww, and was the first person to flich him. “It was a terrifying sight," he said afterward. “The boy was stunned and at first lay quiet. We didn’t know whe ther he was dead or alive. Then he began to cry.” The boy was Donald Lee Gates, 2Vi -year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Roland Gates of Route 1. His father, who was on the back seat with him, said the boy grasped the door handle and turn ed it before he could stop him. The boy was taken to Memorial Hospital and was found to have suffered only bruises. He was taken on home and is getting along all right. Mary-Martha Meeting The Mary-Martha class of the Chapel Hill Baptist Church was scheduled, to meet at 8 o’clock last night (Monday) at the home of Mrs. C. Y. Tilson on the Air port Road.

Five lettermen are back this! season, and Coach Bob Culton is expecting them to round out inte a team comparable to that*: which won the district conso lation play-off last year. The lettermen back are Gordon Neville, Clyde Campbell, Gordon Blackwell, Frank Weaver and Ed die Clark. Neville, a six-foot-four lad, has 1 been shifted this year from for ward to center and in that spot is expected to contribute greater offensive punch. i Others from whom Coach Cul- ' ton is looking for more than yeoman service are Jimmy Dos- ; her, Paul Cheek, and Gene Smith, i The complete schedule has not ’ yet been announced, because, itj' is understood, the University has been requested to permit use 1 of Woollen Gym for Chapel Hill ' High School home games.

The game will be preceded by a game be tween the University freshmen and Edwards Military Academy. Coach Frank McGuire this week is facing the difficult task of designating hia five starters. Seven lettermen, including whir Lennie Rosenbluth, and six tal ented sophomores are vying for the five starting positions, and it wouldn’t surprise McGuire to see any of the 13 in his starting line-up. However, eight of the 13 ath letes have dominated. They in clude lettermen Rosenbluth, Jer ry Vayda, Tony Radovich and Bob Young and sophs Tommy Kearns, Bob Cunningham, Joe Quigg and Fete Brennan. Rosenbluth was the sophomore sensation of last season who led the nation’s big college scorers. An All-Atlantic Coast Confer ence choice last season, he is expected to be a hot candidate for All-America this season. Vayda, Radovich and Young are also Tar Heel veterans. All three were starters last season and Vayda, in his fourth straight varsity campaign, is only 367 points away from the University's scoring mark. Young performed at canter last year and Rado vich at eae ad the guards. The Chapel Hill Weekly 5 Cents a Copy i with, Henderson; Past Lieutenant Governor Dr. W. P.

Cornwell, chairman of the University’s physical edu cation department, announced yesterday that the Carolina Ath letic Asaociation is building a recreational area and lake on the Everett-JUackwood farm a* .bout lour miioa 4Mrth of Chapel Hill off the Hillsboro Road. The area will be used for recreational purposes by Uni versity employees and will also be used for student instructional purposes, Mr. Cornwell explain ed. He said plans have not been formulated far enough into the future to determine whether the area would be avail jable for general recreational pur poses by students or other groups. “We’ll use it for instructional purposes such as boating, canoe ing and fishing,” said Mr. Com- Iwell. He added that the lake, when filled, would cover about 12 acres and would probably be ready for use by next spring or summer. The water is about 1 10 feet deep at present. A clubhouse, picnic and swim ming areas are being planned, and an all-weather road is be ing built wesward from the Cal vander junction on the old Hills boro road. The site is a wooded area, where two springs feed the new lake. The depth of the lake will But the veterans have been getting a run .for their money from the newcomers. Quigg, Brennan and Kearns, all of whom averaged better than 20 points per game with last season’s outstanding freshman team, have been impressive in the team’s daily workouts, though Brennan has been slowed slight ly by a minor strained muscle in his leg. Quigg, a 6-9 giant from New York City, has been moved into the pivot position to allow .Rosen bluth and Young more offensive and defensive freedom. He is a good rebounder as well as scor er. Though one of the squad’s smallest playeks at 6-10, Kearns has been one of the team's most impressive performers in his bid for a starting berth, and he may take over the guard position va cated by graduated AI Lifson.

Polio Vaccination Program Stalling Private and public physicians! yesterday deplored the fact that ■ parents were not taking advant age of the polio immunization! ' program now under way here. 1 “Parents are just not bringing their children in for vaccination,”! ■ said Dr. Fred Patterson, a local 1 physician. “The program is not what any| ’ of us would like it to be,” added • Dr. 0. David Garvin, head of the District Health Department. Both of them said plenty of 1 Salk polio vaccine was avail , able from family physicians and i the Health Department, They I pointed out that delay in begin > ning the immunization course would place the last shot too close to the beginning of the incidence season for polio. Al though scattered cases have been | reported all through the year, the worst season seems to be gin in June. A safe plan, there fore, for the parents to follow Ebe to have their children ted now with the first nd one month later with cond. That would £lace set shot, - recommended izezr “* n| Bath physicians said there] have been no reports of after-: effects following the vaccina tions. Although priority groups have ;been established, there is suf-| ficient vaccine on hand now to, give the immunisation course to 'any and all persons who desire it, they said. “I wish,” said Dr. Garvin, “that the people would not put off the immunizations until the last minute. What will probably happen is that they will all come in in the spring wanting the vaccinations, and that’ll swamp everybody and the children will not have had but one or two shots right in the middle of the incidence period.” Gibson Honored by Geographers’ Group J. Sullivan Gibson of the Uni versity’s Department of Geology and Geography was elected presi dent of the Southeastern Division of the Association of American Geographers last week at its an nual meeting in Tallahassee, Fla.

After supper the evening before they left for the trip they were seated in the living room while their dog, Snuffy, was lying on the floor. Addressing Snuffy, Mr. Jernigan said, “Well, old boy, tomorrow I'll have to take you out to see Dr. Vine.” ( At the word Vine, Snuffy , got up and slunk into the kitchen and curled up in his I box. He had been stashed in Dr. Vine’s kennels on pre vious occasions, and, like many other Chapel Hill dogs, he knew the word meant imprisonment. It might be Jail right out there, but he j would rather be at home i with his folks. ■| Snuffy, a short-haired !i brown and white mongrel, (was named for Snuffy Stim ! weiss, the former UNC base- Iball and football star who jWon the 1943 American Lea gue batting championship as a New York Yankee. He was so named because both he and Stirnweiss have short legs and big ears. Another characteristic of Snuffy is that his ears stand up straight. Many dogs with ears as big as his can’t raise them at all. But not! so with Snuffy. His ears are always erect, even when he’s asleep. He couldn’t low er them if he tried. They make him look like a dingo. Snuffy is famous in his neighborhood as a dog who can talk. He can only say one word, but that’s a lot for a dog. The word is "Hel lo.” Miss Mary Henry lives 'across Boundary Street from ' jthe Jemigans. One day when' .she had come home from I work Snuffy said hello to her as she was getting out [of the car. She is the only person he has ever spoken! to, and only once, at that.)

The excel lence of his reports about the overthrow of Peron led to his promotion, a few , weeks ago, to the post of chief of the AP bureau in I the Argentine capital, j Except for his own family, probably the circle that is proudest of Sam’s success |is the staff of the Chapel Hill Weekly, for he is one | of our alumni. After several months with this newspaper he was taken on by the AP in Raleigh. His good per formance there,, mainly in writing about the legislat ure, was soon noticed by the supreme council in New York and he was summon ed to a job in the AP builds ing in Rockefeller Center. He served as correspond ent in Korea, in the Philip pines, and at Havana before [going to Buenos Aires. When he was in Havana he had a roving commission for the Caribbean area. He went to Guatemala to cover the re volution that overthrew the Communist dictator and he was one of the newspaper men who went around with the PrinoMs Margaret when she made a tour of the Mm lsh Islands in *he W«MM dies. “We scored decisive beats in Buenos Aires, not only in reporting events but in sensing events to come,” says the “AP Log.” "There was no gunfire to tip off the third change in Argen tina’s leadership in five (Continued on Page 8) mittee chairmen are: Mrs. J.

TUESDAY ISSUE ' Not tana - - - ■ - - - ’ “An empty stocking is an empty Christmas” and it will be for Jimmy and Dora un less the people of Orange County respond as they have in the past to the Chapel Hill Junior Service League’s cam paign to collect food,-clothes, toys and money for the needy in the County this year. The Junior Service League said yesterday Jimmy and Dora were deserted by their father and neglected by their mother. The juvenile court found them to be neglected and now has custody of them, and they have been placed by the Welfare De partment in a foster home. Their mother was sent to prison. When they first came to the foster home they were undernourished and easily became sick. The separation from their mother, although she had cared so little for them, was extremely hard and it took several months before they woul&respond to the loving care of their fos ter parents. Now that they have learn ed to trust again* they have blossomed forth into attrac tive, healthy children. They still think shout their moth er and the child welfare worker talks with them about her and encourages her to visit them now that she is at home again. She has not found work and has not been able to re-establish a home for them. The Welfare pays their board and has $5 a month They are now 13 and 7 and both go to school. As Dora gets into her teens there are small things that she would love to have that other girls have. Jim my likes the toys that any seven year old would like to have. “Won’t you help fill a stock ing?” the Service League aaks. Mrs. Fred Weaver, chairman of the Empty Stocking campaign, reports that last year, the first under the “Adopt a Family" plan, 384 needy cases were adopted, in cluding a total of 1,340 people. In addition, the League prepared boxes of food, clothing and toys for 88 families “unadopted” be fore the deadline, aided by cash contributions of $529. To date the League has re ceived over 200 applications for aid from officially listed public assistance recipients and special service cases of . the county wel fare board, and it is fexpected that twice this number will be on hand by the’December 5 dead line for receipt of requests. As of this issue twenty-two; families or individuals have been adopted by local organizations. Mrs. Weaver stressed that she hopes informal groups such as neighborhoods, bridge chibs and sewing circles would add to their own Christmas pleasure by call- ' Ing Mrs. Gordon Cleveland, 3656, and adapting a family.
