Official Says
Bypass Ditch
To Be Marked
The Weekly has investi
gated some complaints about
a ditch left by the State
Highway and Public Works
Commission after it pro
vided for an access service
road on the north side of
Highway 15-501 by-pass
near the intersection with
the Durham Road.
The ditch spans the area
directly in front of four
businesses. Southern Motors,
Tar Heel Motor Lodge, Lar
ry’s Grill and Restaurant
and the Chapel Hill Roof
ing & Heating Co. It runs
south along the right side
of the highway. It seems
that motorists were turn
ing off at random —not us
ing one of the two entranc
es to the small business
area—-and were hitting the
ditch because they didn’t
notice it in time to stop.
The ditch has been there
about a month, is a littte
over a, foot deep, a yard
wide, and a little under
three-tenths of a mile long.
It was put there, it appears,
a drainage ditch, and
as a means of forc
ing drivers to use' the en
trances.
About a dozen cars have
hit the ditch when drivers
didn't see it. There has been
no serious damage to the
cars, but there possibly
could be if the ditch was hit
at a certain angle. One man's
children were reported
thrown into the front seat
of the car from the back
seat when he hit the ditch.
He threatened suing the
owner of the Tar lleei
Lodge. Another man hit the
ditch there, got mad, and
wouldn’t stay there after
stopping. One jH-rson who
works at one of the busi
nesses and was accustomed
-to the ditch, even ran over
*it one time, it was said.
Suggestions from the men
in the area included putting
up guard rails and planting
grass and covering the ditch up,
which the .Slate Highway De
partment prohahiy won’t do b<
cause the highway is one of
limited access.
Night is when motorists us
ually hit the ditch, which is very

about sports cars one of the
things he said was that he
and his wife own four cars.
Not long ago Mrs. Jane

Mr. and Mrs. Hodges. As
she drove up to the house
her small daughter Susan
said. “Mommie, I don’t
think we better go in. They
already have company.”
"No, Darling,” Mrs.
Whitefied reassured her.
“all those cars belong to Mr.

Mrs. Hodges, the former
Miss Betty Arnold of t’hap

saw her there one day last

them we have four ears and
they let us have all the mon

50 Years of Service
Elease Winston Has Been Cooking for
Archibald Henderson Family Since 1906
On last Thursday, August 16, after Elease Winston had
served breakfast to the man for whom she had worked for fifty
years, he handed her a little box and the following letter:
“This is to congratulate you and my whole family upon
y»ur attaining the fiftieth anniversary of your coming to work
,Tor us. This gift is a token of appreciation, not only of your
faithful and devoted service but of your friendship and solicitude
for the welfare of us all. Long may this relationship continue!
‘The Boss’ ” *
She opened the box and there was a gold bracelet!
“The Boss’’ at the breakfast table was Archibald Henderson.
Elease Weaver joined the Henderson family August 16, 1906,
when she was 14 years old. Five or six years later she married
Reuben Winston. They had four children, two boys and two
girls. Reuben died eight years ago. Reuben, Jr., is in the Navy
and the other son is in the U. S. Air Force. They are both sta
tioned at San Diego, California. When their mother went to
visit them they tried to persuade her to come out there to live
with them but she decided to come back to the place where she
was born and had lived all her life.
