But pub lishers, a notably stone hearted tribe, charge au thors for the authors’ own hooks just as they charge the mass of the book-buying Sblic. The consequence is it a man who writes a book is not expected to give a copy to a friend who writes one. The approved etiquette, if they want to compliment one another in a decent man ner, is for each to buy a copy of the other’s book and ask the other to autograph it. Phillips Russell and Archibald Henderson went through this ceremony the other day at the Henderson home. It being understood that nothing I say has any thing to do with the quality of either of these two men’s recently published books, Mr. Russell’s biography of Thomas Jefferson and Mr. Henderson’s biography of George Bernard Shaw, hut is only financial information, 1 Hreport here that Mr. Rus sell got hadly stuck in the exchange. This was because the Shaw book cost hirrvflO w hile the Jefferson book cost Mr. Henderson only $5. * * * Today, Friday, December 21, is the shortest day of the year.

Because the canal was closed, their furniture, on its way here from Bombay, India, has had to go all the way around Africa and so won’t be here for some time. In the meantime, Mrs. Kellog and her son, who sold the house in Bynum to the Albrights, are leaving their furniture there for the new owners to use.

Gooch's, Chapel Hill's First Case, N Closes Out Its 53 Years of History By Joe Jones Today, for the first time in 53 years, there is no Gooch's Restaurant in Chapel Hill. J. E. Gooch opened Gooch’s Restaurant here in 1903. It had continued in the family ever since till this week when Mr. Gooch’s son-in-law, C. C. Sim mons, sold out to Mr. and Mrs. Charles T. Green of Dur ham. Mr. Simmons stepped down yesterday, taking with him the name the restaurant bore for more than half a cen tury. This morning the estab lishment will open its doors as Green’s Case. A native of Granville Coun ty, Mr. Gooch came here in 1900 to install and operate Chapel Hill’s first telephone system. He quit that business in 1903 to open Gooch’s Res taurant, the first restaurant Chapel Hill ever had. There were plenty of boarding houses, but no restaurants till Gooch’s, which stood on the qow vacant lot at the corner of Franklin and Columbia streets. Now the cycle is complete: Plenty of restaurants but few or no boarding houses, with Gooch’s at last following the latter into oblivion. Gooch’s had five or six lo cations during its 53-year his tory. One of these was where Julian’s College Shop is now. In 1925, after several previous Community Chest Reaches $20,400 Community Chest contributions have reached 75 per cent of the $27,937.53 guaj, ('host Chairman Walt Baucom said today. “We now have received $20,400 in contributions,” he said, “And there is still a little coming in.” Mr. Baucom said that it seemed very doubtful that the goal would be leached at the rate the con tributions are coming in now. He added that u "mopping up” campaign is now in progress. Volunteer workers are now going, back to see people they missed during the regular campaign. Chapel Hillians who wish to give to the Community Chest, which benefits 10 local agencies, and have not been solicited are asked to mail their checks to Mr. Baucom.

The new course will be pib sented over WUNC-TV, the Uni versity owned non-commercial station serving 36 of the state’s counties.

Mr. Reic hert will give 15-minute lectures twice weekly, on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. The study will end June 13. The German course will be of fered both for credit and non credit, according to Miss Mary Henry, head of the Extension Di vision’s Bureau of Correspon dence Instruction. Christmas Anthems At United Church Three anthems by the Chil dren’s Choirs will be heard at the 11 o’clock service Sunday morning at the United Congre gational Christian Church. As a call to worship, "What Shall We Bring?” will be sung by the Cherub Choir. Then the Cherub Choir and the Junior Choir will sing "The Snow Lay on the Ground,” to be followed by “Gesu Bambino” sung by the Junior Choir. I "A Light Ls Come Into the World” will be the topic of the sermon by the pastor, the Rev. Harvey L. Carnes.

CHAPEL HILL, N. C., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1966 moves, it moved to the present site of the Carolina Sport Shop. From there it moved into a small wooden structure that was to be torn down to make way for the Carl Smith Build ing. Its move to its present quarters in the Carl Smith Building was made when the building was completed in 1949. Meanwhile, Mr. Gooch had continued to operate the busi ness till his death in 1941. Literally to the day of his death, since he put in his regu lar day’s work at the restau rant on the day he died. Mr. Gooch’s widow then took over operation of the business, with Raymond Andrews as its man ager. Mr. Simmons married Miss Mary Frances Gooch in 1943, and he became manager of the restaurant when he left the U. S. Air Force in 1945. He assumed control of the business after Mrs. Gooch’s death in 1949. Mr, Simmons, known affec tionately to his maliy friends as Shorty, will stay on a few days with Mr. and Mrs. Green till they get the hang of things. Then he plans to take a rest. He may go back into the food business in Chapel Hill, hut not real soon. “Right now I’m tired,” Shorty said yesterday, “and I’m going to rest a while. That’s one reason 1 sold out.

Previous conferences have been held at Bern, Switzerland and Warsaw, i Poland. 1 Around 40 physicists, 14 of them from foreign countries, will engage in scientific discussions and will pool their information or. recent developments in gravi tational research. Chapel Hill was selected as the site of the conference chiefly because of the establishment within the UN’C Physics Depart | merit here in February, 1966, of a space-time-gravitation research project to “find out more about j the nature of matter and en ergy." well lately.” Mr. and Mrs. Green and their children will continue to live in Durham for the present, but plan to move here as soon as they have found a suitable house. Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Green will commute. They invite everybody to drop by to see them and enjoy the good food they plan to serve. The man who knows more about the history of Gooch’s Restaurant than anybody else in Chapel Hill is Moody Dur ham, who was a close friend of Mr. Gooch. He remembers when Gooch's offered a fine steak dinner for 25 cents. A country ham sandwich was ten cents. Along with such a sand wich the customer could get an order -rof potatoes, either fried or mt»de into a potato cake, at no charge. Sand wich and all for a dime. Egg sandwiches were five cents. That was when eggs were ten cents a dozen, and chickens were sold for 15 or 20 cents apiece no matter how big the chicken. The top price for country hams was 15 cents a pound. When quail were on the menu Mr. Gooch would adver tise the fact by stringing about a hundred of them on a long cord and making a border of them around the outside of the restaurant’s front door. p.m. when a display made on the 7th floor of the hospital will be shown on WUNC-TV, Channel 4.

Thrift Shop, Great Source of Income for PTA, Serves Multiple Useful Purposes for Citizens of This Area One of the greatest sources of income for the local PTA is the Thrift Shop, which is located on West Franklin Street beside the Hospital Savings Building. The shop was originally open-' Ved by the Art Guild in 1952 to pay for an art teacher for the ! local schools. In 1954 it was I taken over by the PTA. 1 The Thrift Shop is serving a I two-fold purpose in the Chapel 1 Hill community. One of the pur* 1 poses in operating the shop is to provide funds for the Parent ■ Teachers Association of Chapel Hill Schools. The second purpose is to serve the people of the com munity by making available ’l clothes and other articles which ‘they could not purchase as in : expensively elsewhere. I The funds from the shop are i allocated on the basis of the num . her of students enrolled. Chapel , Hill High School received $544.90 ill 1954-55 and sM9s.l<» in 1955-50. ’ With this money CIIHS allocated I $75.00 for arts equipment; $150.- i 00 for audio-visual aids; SIOO.OO i for music supplies; $150.00 for play-ground equipment; $50.00 for the lunch program; $250.00 i for teachers’ leave fund; $200.00 ’ for professional improvement ; fund; $25.00 for safety; SOO.OO for administrative fund; $25.00 for building and grounds; $29.90 i for hospitality; and $150.00 for . the Executive Committee Con ■ tingenty fund. | The merchandise sold there Oil Company Revises Plan For Station to Save Tree The Sun Oil Company is re vising the layout for its new service station so as to save the fine old willow oak that was marked for destruction. This decision follows appeals by representatives of garden ; clubs and civic clubs at a meet ing of the board of aldermen last week at the scene of the pro posed tree-cutting and an appeal by telephone to the president of the company in Philadelphia, The station is going up at the corner of West Franklin and Graham streets. According to the first plan the tree was to come down because it blocked one of the driveways from Franklin street. But, since the tree is on tojvn land, the aider men had the say-so about this, and they refused to approve the removal of the tree. The com- 1 pany appealed for a re-hearing. That was what led to the outdoor meeting and the appeals by the garden clubs and the civic clubs. Opinion was divided in the board. Some members raised the question that the town might have been committed to the re-! moval of the tree by the earlier approval of the building plans. And then there was the point that other service station opera tors had been permitted to have driveways as wide as those planned for this station. Louis Graves, contributing edi tor of the Weekly, asked stock broker Carl Smith to look in his I corporation manual for the name! and address of the*president of the Sun Oil Company. Mr. Smith consulted the book and reported:, R. G. Dunlop, 1608 Walnut (Street, Philadelphia. Mr. Graves Called Mr. Dunlop and told him! about the situation what the plan for the service station was and how deeply interested the people of Chapel Hill were in saving their trees. The Sun Oil president, with all that he’s got to attend to—and it’s probably much, more than usual now that Europe is crying for extra millions of barrels of; oil- naturally had never heard of the plan for this small-town station. But he said he knew Chapel Hill and he listened sym pathetically to what he was told about the community sentiment on the subject of trees. "We want to be good citizens," he said. Word was passed down the line and on Tuesday the Sun Oil Company representative in this Mrs. John Brauer Gives Yule Party Mrs. John Brauer entertained Wednesday morning for women connected with the University’s School of Dentistry.

Barrels to collect the articles are placed in, Fowler’s Food Store, the Glen 1 Lennox rental office, and Glen wood School.
