Credit Bureau
Here Receives
Superior Rank
Special recognition and a
loanee to expand its opera-)
tion have come to the Chapel
Hill-Carrboro Credit Bureau.
Mrs. Jane Whitefield, mana
ger of the office, has been
notified that the local bu
reau has been admitted to
membership in the Associat
ed Credit Bureaus of Amer
ica’s Collection Service Div
ision.
Collection offices must
meet a rigid set of qualifi
cations before they are ac
cepted as members of the
Collection Service Division.
Their methods of doing bus
iness, their capital, the man
ager' s qualifications—all
these points come under
close scrutiny from this in
ternational organization of
top collection people.
Mrs. Whitefield said thaU
one of the benefits of be-1
longing to the Collection
Service Division is that the
local office can give better
service to local credit grant-]
ers—those who turn over
accounts to it for collection.)
The organization has over
!•§()() members all over the j
United States and Canada,!
and each member must)
maintain a high standard ofi
efficiency. Should a debtorl
leave town owing bills to
local merchants, she said,
the accounts can be collect
ed, in most cases, through
Collection Service
v Division members in the
debtor’s new home.
This improvement and ex- (
pansion of collection service
means surer profits for the
credit granters of Chapel
Hill and Carrboro, Mrs.
Whitefield said.

Neighbors Pitch in
And Help a Family
A good example of love
for-fellowman was evident
here this week as neigh
bors joined the family of]
Cesco Mays to help them re-]
pair and repaint their Dur
ham Road dwelling, which
was damaged by fire early
!Sunday evening.
! The SI,OOO fire occurred
| as the Mays family was pre
paring to leave for Florida
on a vacation trip. Immed
iately after the blaze was ex
tinguished, neighbors be
gan helping the family clean
up and provided food and
lodging. The next day they
joined in repair and repaint
work, and Mr. Mays said he
!believed the dwelling would
jbe restored by today (Fri
day) .
A driver for the Tar Heel
Cab Company, Mr. Mays
said that the fire prevented
the Florida trip, but that
jhe hoped to have enough
money saved by Christmas
to make it then.
His son, Kenneth Mays,
was the apparent fortunate
one—if that be possible—
in the fire. Although he lost
his clothing, a stuffed chair
tossed out of the window of
the hurtling structure con
tained nine SIOO bills he had'
saved to begin his Univer
sity studies this fall. They
were undamaged.

Up-Town ‘Rec’ Still Looking for Home;
Jaycecs Renew Efforts for Huge Center
Petition Circulated
For a Referendum
I
A concerted effort to se
cure 500 more names to a
petition for a recreation tax
referendum was launched
this week by the Chapel
Hill Javcees.
Dr. J. Kempton Jones, co
chairman cf the Jaycee long
pending recreation project,
urged Javcees to complete
| the list of the needed 1,100
petitioners. Some 600 al
ready have signed. It is
j hoped that the petition will
be completed by July 16.
So designed and planned
by the Charles M. Graves
Organization, Bark and Rec
reation Engineers of Atlan
ta, Ga., that the center can
be built in progressive stag
es, it would be located in the
southeastern corner of Or
ange County on a 16-acre
tract owned by Roy Brown
but under a two-year option
to the Jaycees.
A prospectus complete
with architect’s conception
and description of the fin
ished center is being shown
by Jaycees circulating the
petition. ,
The petition itself asks
the Orange County Board of
Commissioners to call a
special election on whether
or not the county should is
sue $250,000 in bonds to
acquire, build, equip, and
maintain the center, and on
whether or not a tax of 10c
psr SIOO valuation should‘ I be
imposed for operation. A tax
to pay off the bonds also is
included.

board itself is authorized to fill

A member of the hoard for the

board, with whom he had dis
cussed the matter at length.
Mr. Smith served one six-year
term and then agreed to serve
longer on the hoard until the
members could get more exper
ience after several resignations.
“Six years is long enough, hut
1 was glad to stay three years
more to let them gain exper
ience,” Mr. Smith explained.
He was on the board during
two school bond issues, and he
noted that there was a lot of
work connected with them. “I’m
going to pay more attention to
my business now,” he said.

No fact of nature is more
firmly fixed in people’s]
minds than the survival)
power of cats. We may not
admit to believing that a
cat has nine lives but many
of us have seen miraculous
escapes and unexpected re-1
apperances that almost per-
suade us of the truth of that '
famous saying.
I never heard a stranger
report upon the coming-to
life of a cat that was thought
to be dead than the one Mrs.
Roland McClamroeh gave
me yesterday.
Her brother, George Lyon,
has left Durham to become
the proprietor of the Royal
| Palm Motel on the out
skirts of Daytona Beach,
Florida. The move was made
last week: Mr. and Mrs. Ly
on, their two children, and
the cat —in a cavalcade wj”
three automobiles.
The last thing Mrs. Lyon
'did before the departure
■ very early in the morning
was to have a veterinarian
give the cat a sedative so
that it would be calm and
quiet on the long one-day
ride. This purpose was so
I well achieved that w hen the
! cavalcade reached Daytona
at about 11 o’clock at night
the cat, instead of respond-]
ing to the family’s call in.
its usual alert way, was 1
j found to be stretched out
motionless on the floor of
its wicker basket. They ex
amined it, by look and touch,
and could come to but one
answer: the cat was dead.
The man who had sold the
motel to Mr. Lyon and was
present to complete the
transfer, was sympathetic
with them in their grief. He
said he thought maybe he
could bring the cat back to
life. He would like to try,
anyhow.
I didn’t get an explanation
from Mrs. McClamroeh of
how he diagnosed the case,
but she described to me
