Chapel Mill Chall
L.G.
A friend of a neighbor of
ours came by air for a visit \
last week. She had never
flown before and so, natural
ly, starting on the flight
made her uneasy. Soon after
taking her off the ground
the plane ran into sharp
winds. The weather didn't;
seem to be regarded as dang
erous by the hostess andj
the other passengers, but
it seemed plenty dangerous 1
( to the lady bound for Chap
jel Hill. Every now and then
an air pocket would insert
itself on the course and the
'plane would drop into it and
fall—and fall—and she won
dered when if ever it was
| going to be cushioned on
the air again.
The weather improved and
she gained so in confidence
that she felt disposed to try
the good-smelling luncheon
that the hostess was serv
ing along the aisle.
What tough luck now!
Here was another one of
those air pockets and just!
as the plane dropped into
it a pitcher of soup, poised
|for emptying into the neat!
little bowl of the tray in
front of her, was so jolted
that the soup f.ot only miss-!
ed the bowl but splattered
widely over her jacket.
She recovered her confi
dence and her apperfte be
fore arriving at the Kalcigh-
Durham airport, and the
soup that fell on her jacket
was well cleaned off in
Chapel Hill. But it is not sur
prising that when she start
ed on the return flight it
was without enthusiasm for
air travel.
She is a devotee of crime
*'Vtiun and just as she was
leaving for the airport her
hostess took a paper-back
from the living room table
and held it out to her say
ing: “Here’s an Agatha;
Christie to take along with’
you.”
Then they looked at the

Proponents of annexation yesterday (Thursday) were vo
cally and visibly concerned about the small registration for the
