C., FRIDAY, AUGUST 24, 19.56 Chapel Mill Chaf,t J. J. Hubert Neville, born and raised here, has seen great changes in Chapel Hill. We broached the subject the other morning when we ran into each other at break last. “Forty or fifty years ago the University's Commence ment was the biggest event of the year,” Mr. Neville said. “People came to it from miles around. Farmers would Isay to their children and hired hands, ‘lf we don’t finish hoeing this tobacco Iwe won’t be able to go to Commencement.’ “Everybody came and had a big time. It was like a car nival. The speaking was in old Memorial Hall and just |across the street would be 1 refreshment stands where vendors sold peanuts, "candy, ice cream, and lemonade dipped from a big wooden tub in which a chunk of ice floated. Those fellows came here only at Commencement time, and one of them made the first fee cream cones I ever saw. He made them out jof banana paste in a con traption something like a waffle iron. Chapel llill youngsters were crazy about t hem. “One of the high spots of Commencement then was the debate for the Mangum Med ial. It was considered a great event. The hall was always packed for it, and the stu dent who won the medal was as much a hero as today’s halfback who .makes a long run 1o heat Duke. “There was an oak grove back of Memorial Hall where (people hitched their horses' to flu 1 trees and got their picnic baskets out of the back of their buggies and carriages. Children ran in all directions and dogs jump ed around and barked while the band played and a cloud of dust hung in ttie air and settled on everything. "We had some great (Uontinuc'd on Rage 2) Two Congregations Set Joint Services The United Congregational Christian < hutch and the Coni inanity Church will hold union services for the next two Sunday mornings, August 20 and Sep tember 2.

To get there from the rnuiolarid they hired the mail boat. In a letter to a friend in Chapel Hill Miss Love tells of being welcomed by the Kings in their charming old timey cottage. “I had known of Mrs. King’s sister, the late Miss Janet Flex-1 ner, famous in library circles asj readers’ advisor at the New York Public Library,” she writes, “so we really had a good deal in common . . . From here I will j go to visit my sister and her family on the Gupe over Labor Day and then will be in New York a while.” Building and laian Figures At the meeting of the Orange County Building and Loan As sociation’s directors Wednesday night Executive Director W.

Great American Dream Miltos Tassos Accumulates Enough Wealth To Return Home to Greece and Retirement MII.TOS AT 59 Fire District Ponders Proposition to Town The Greater Chapel Hill Fire District Commissioners arc con j sideringproposing to the Town lof Chapel llill that it assume | both the assets and liabilities of the district and enter into some 'agreement with the district so that it will be safeguarded in the event that at some future ; date it will have to furnish its I own fire protection. The decision on the overtures to the Town of Chapel llill came this week when the new district board met and elected Alex Mc- Mahon chairman, succeet ling E. I A. Cameron. The other two mein jbers are Gran Childress, recent !ly appointed to succeed VV. T. llobhs, and Kben Merritt, one of the orig in a 1 commissioners. Messrs. Cameron and Hobbs be- I came ineligible to serve on the i commission when the areas in I which they lived recently were annexed to the Town of Chapel Hill. \'.t this week t meeti .;, the commission ruled that it was without legal authority to re fund any taxes collected in that part of the district which was annexed to the town. The deci sion came as a result of an in ijuiry by owners of Glen Lennox Development. Corp. whether it was entitled to a refund in fire district taxes collected for 1955 56. It was pointed out, however, that former residents ot the Fire District who were taken into the Town of Chapel llill in the spring election'will not he hilled for taxes during the ensuing fis cal year. The assets of District include substantial amount of cash and an equity in the fire' truck it has purchased. Its lia bilities include the indebtedness | on the truck. The commission now is inclined to propose that the town take both the town now needs another truck and furnish protection to residents of the area for a specified length of time during which the district would turn over to the town the taxes collected by the special fire district levy. The commissioners, however, propose a cancellation clause of suffici-, ent time that would safeguard the district in the event it would have to work out its own fire protection at some future date. Itczoning Hearing Will Be Monday The Chapel Hill Board of Al dermen will consider rezoning three areas at a public hearing at the Town Hall Monday night at 7:30 o’clock.

By Billy Arthur It American business continues to thrive and to pay cash and stock dividends, Miltos Tassos, former owner ot Chapel Hills Case Mouza, will stay retired this time. He’s going back to Greece next month to do it. And we’d say he’s financially and sufficiently well heeled, because he laid on our desk records of stock pur chases running into the hundreds of thousands of dollars and two envelopes of current uncashed dividend checks totaling possibly SI,OOO. “Tell them I got stock in these companies!
