" "
Like other towns, Chapel
-Llill these days is a place
* here it’s no longer easy
'to take a country walk. The
suburbs now cover most of
what used to be nearby
woods and rural areas. Walk
ing on the highway is out
of the question, and people
who own farms understand
ably resent strangers tramp
ing over their property and
climbing their fences. The
time has come when walkers
are regarded as queer ducks,
anyway, and the truth is
there aren’t many of them
left. ' .
But there are still a few,
those who enjoy a leisurely
(ramble in the woods or who
want to take the children
out for a Sunday afternoon
hike. It is for these, and
(any others who would like to
t triple such pleasures, that
• describe here a good ("ha-,
pel Hill walk. It is brief, ac
*-s.sible, easy . for small c.hil
*en and elderly people, and
yet leads through a beauti
ful and secluded woodland.
The starting point is FVtz
er Field, the l niversity’s
track stadium beyond Wool
Jen Gymnasium. From the
southOast corner of the* field
(tin* walker follows a gravel
road up fin* slope beside
Navy Field, the football
practice area. Right, away
•there is something for him,
to see, for to his left, on
the verge of the bluff that
commands that end <>l i'etz
er Field, stand two lightning
blasted pines, reminders that i
the highest point is the most
dangerous sjiot during a
thunderstorm. The pines!
farther back from the bluff!

The chairman of the finance committee of the Isuird
| of directors of tfie ( ha|>el Hill Public Library will ap~
! |»ear before the Aldermen this comi. g M. .“day night to
F ask tor an addition of S4OO to the year’s Lilufary bud
get 0f'5.7,300. The money is tussled for the rental, till
July 1, of an extension to accomodate f>oUi the overflow
of IxMiks and the overflow of |UH>ple who come to use
the hooks.
Uha|M*l Hill is fortunate to have a town government
that is entirely sympathetic with the Library, so there
is no doubt that the request will l>e granted.
'The Aldermen have a much more im|*ortant decision
to intake aloud, the Library than to grant this small
i sum, and I expect they Will lie sympathetic, with regard
to that, too.
That is, the decision Vm the pro|*osal, that lias l>eeit
advaneixl by some citizen's, for inclusion in the forth
coming bond issue of an allowance for a Library buildr
ing. ’l'he amount I have heard mentioned for this pur
-1 |»ose is $50,001).
Thei-e is not any project or improvement for which
the town’s money could he hotter used than a Library
building, and I feel sure that the community would afr
prove I lie pro|iosal. If the Aldermen will make a start
on I lie building fund the test of it can certainly he rais
ed from individual contributions and other sources. 'The
State and various foundations hlave proved their willing
ness to aid in library building when a community takes
I he first step.
I lio|s* that a Library building will be Chapel
Hill’s main project in the coming year.
