The Stancell hacienda overlooks the second fairway of the Country Club’s Law son golf course. As soon as Mr. and Mrs. Stancell leave for the day Woo goes to the golf course to look for Jas per Minor, one of the two Negro workmen who . take care of the course. He spends the rest of the day with him. Dog and man go about the day’s work together. If Jasper is mowing, Woo trots j beside him, taking off now! and then for brief explora-J tions of the rough. Even then, he hardly permits! Jasper to get out of his sight. When Jasper stops to trim a green or cut a new hole and change the location! of the pin, Woo lies down to watch the operation. The' pause he likes best is the lunch break. Jasper brings his own sandwiches and he always has something for Woo. At such a time Woo doesn’t object to the pres ence of Melvin Fearrington, the other workman. But Jas per is his buddy. tit ting lime doesn't >ther Woo.

Sunday school, which opened yesterday in another part of the new building, had been held in the Franklin Street Elementary School and elsewhere. In his ser mon Mr. Barron thanked UNC and the school for their hospitali ty but added that it was good to be at home again. The Fellowship Hall, packed for yesterday's service, is on the ground floor of the church’s new Student Center, which faces Henderson Street.

The robbery is believed to be the work of three unidentified Negro men who were seen run ning from the service station at about 12 30 a m. Friday A man who lives near the sta tion said he saw three Negro men drive off at high speed along Merritt Mill Road. The men were reportedly driv ing an old model Plymouth car and a later model Chevrolet pickup truck. Carrboro Police Chief J. A Williams and SBI agent Charles Whitman of Raleigh are investi gating the robbery. No arrests have been made. Mr. Pendergraft has offered a reward of 150 for the return of the valuable papers, which included deeds and titles and various insurance papers. He said about half of the stolen money was covered by insurance. Part of the money belonged to Scott Coal and Oil Co.

Mr Barron took his text from First Corinthians, reading the third chapter s story of the house tiiat fell because it was built on sand and the house that endured be cause it was built «n a rock. He giVe a practical 4 illustra tion of the story. When ground was broken for the new Stu dent Center, he said, the diggers went far down through a deep fill till they struck bedrock. At the same time they discovered that the adjacent building, Mich ael’s Grill, was about to topple into their excavations because its foundations went only a few inches below the surface of the earth. They had to jack the building up and deepen its foun dations before work on the Stu dent Center could proceed An open house for public in spection of the new facilities will be held Sunday afternoon, Oct. 18. Dedication services will be held the same day. The Rev. George A Buttrick. Plummer Professor of Christian Morals and Preacher to Harvard Univer sity, will speak at the dedica tion services at 11 a.m. in Hill Hall on the UNC campus. He will speak again that evening in the Fellowship Hall at a meeting of the Westminster Fellowship and other campus religious groups The new facilities are the re sult of years of planning and campaigning across the Synod and among Chapel Hill Presby terians wire and entered the building through a window in the alley between the service station and the Chapel Hill Ice Co He said he is inclined to think the rob bery is connected with a series of break-ins which have been made recently at Hi-Way Service Station about a block away. But Chief Williams and Mr. Whitman have indicated that the break-in was the work of pro fessionals and is not connected with the previous robberies. Friday's robbery is the second ont at the service station since about a year ago, when thieves carted off a dozen new tires. No arrests were made in connecton with that robbery. Mr. Pendergraft said yesterday that last week's break-in em phasizes the need for a night policeman in Carrboro. He said he will ask the Carrboro Board of Commissioners to hire an other policeman for night duty. “Wo could stop s lot of these break-ins," he said, “ if we bad a night policeman. It's a shame we don’t have one already. The men we have now art doing a good Job, but they Just aren’t enough." CHAPEL HILL, N.

Hillsboro, president; Charles Hodson Term Starts Tomorrow I Record Enrollment Expected In Chapel Hill Area Schools Grade School Population Exceeds 2,000 School bells will ring again to morrow, ending the summer va cations of an estimated 3,425 stu dents in the Chapel Hill school system. Students in all schools will re port at 8.30 a.m. for brief orien tation and assignment, and are expected to be released within two hours. The first full day of classes will begin at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday. For some students the 1959 term will mean new classrooms and some new faces —among their teachers as well as their fellow students. For ninth graders it will mean an other year in junior high school instead of the long-awaited ad vancement to senior high. And for some unfortunate stu dents the new year will mean attending classes in sub-stand ard or temporary classrooms That was the word last week from Supt. Joseph M. Johnston after pre-school registration fig ures were tallied. Mr. Johnston said enrollment in five elementary schools and the two high schools will be heavier by nearly 300 students ' 1 than were enrolled here - that year. Actually there were 598 new students registered for the fall term, but 122 students were grad uated last spring, which left an enrollment of *76 as of last week. However, the new registrations were at least 100 more than school officials had expected. Mr Johnston said summer registra tions were the heaviest here in several years. Because of the large influx of new elementary students, Mr Johnston said classroom space problems will make it necessary to assign some students to schools outside their regular at tendance areas. He said the influx is spread rather generally over the entire school system, but Glenwood and Estes Hills appear to be getting more of the new students I than the Franklin Street and Carboro elementary schools Mr Johnston attributed the influx equally to the Universi ty’s growth and to the develop ment of the Research Triangle He said most of the new students are from families of temporary residence, but many of them are children of permanent resi dents. High school enrollment this year will total about 600, junior high enrollment is expected to be about 700, and more than 2,000 students are expected to be enrolled in elementary schools, according to Mr. John ston’s estimates. of Chapel Hill, out-going president; and Hiss Ruth Privette of vice-president.
