& «r-1 Be extremely careful not to Jf plant any more garden than || your wife can take care of. 11 Volume 41, Number 33 Chapel Hill CHAFF By LOUIS GRAVES Arnold J. Toynbee, author of the 10-volume “Study of History," who is generally agreed to be the world's greatest historian, is now a visiting professor at Grin ned College in lowa. Born in London 74 years ago, he is still in full vigor. Here are some spots in his record: Po litical Intelligence Officer in the Foreign Service in the First World War, member of the Brit ish delegation to the Peace Con ference 1919, for many years pro fessor of history in the Univer sity of London, Director of Stud ies of the Royal Institute of In ternational Affairs 1925 to 1955. He has been a frequent visitor to the United States and has con tributed to the Atlantic Monthly, Harper’s, the New Republic, and the New York Times Magazine. He is the author of many books. He said in a lecture one day last week: "Every generation feels its own age to be the most impor tant in history. Obviously it is the most important for that par ticular generation, but it is not necessarily the most important in history. We cannot really judge the importance of our times. "We may be on the verge of destroying all life on this planet, and making the planet perm anently uninhabitable, or we may be on the verge of lasting peace and social justice. We cannot tell.” We cannot tell. After reading those words from the world's greatest historian, a sort of declaration of doubt and help lessness, I don't feel as humiliat ed today as I did yesterday be cause of my liability to under stand anything about what's go ing on in the world. * * * Clyde Eubanks will be 92 years old tomorrow.

Incumbents Gene Strowd. Roland Gkiuz, and Joe Page ail filed for election Monday, Mr. Giduz ten rrftnutes before the 5 p.m. dead line. No unannounced candidates appeared. Mayor Sandy McClamroeh, who is running unopposed for his sec ond term as Mayor, also filed Monday. Joe Nagelschmidt, the only new candidate for the Board of Al dermen, had already filed. Wil liam S. Stewart, running unop posed for his seventh term as Judge of Chapel Hill Recorder’s Court, had also filed earlier. The four Alderman candidates form one of the smallest fields of candidates for the Chapel Hill Board since the end of World War Two. The four candidates have faced each other on a public platform once to date, at a candidates’ meeting sponsored by the Civic Club in the Roberson Street Com munity Center. The candidates will face each other and the public at least twice more before the May 7 election, at the League of Women Voters candidates meeting May 1, and at a meeting of the Chapel Hill Jaycees May 2. The issues that have been de veloped in the campaign so far have concerned sidewalks, street lights, traffic and traffic lights, townwide use of the Roberson Street Community Center, town funds, and integration of town employees, specifically in the Fire Department. Mr. Strowd is president and part owner of Johnson-Strowd Dr. Craig remembers his many student gardens with affection and continued interest. “I was at the University from 1542 to 1949,” he said, sitting in the living room of Harold Weav er’s house, needling a hoary old pipe with lighted matches until it consented to draw for a few puts. Sunlight brightened Dr. Craig's thinning shook of snow white hair. "It's changed since then. It’s growing like a weed. 1 like what Dr. Friday is doing in not letting it outgrow itself.

Carrboro would also have contributed to purchasing new police cars as needed. Altogether, Carrboro would have spent on police serv ice about what it is paying now. In return, Carrboro would have been provided police service by Chapel Hill. Mr. McClamroeh said Chief Blake was in favor of the idea. Consolidating the two police forc es would put a frequent trouble spot along the border between the two towns in the center of a single police jurisdiction area, instead of on the fringes of two separate areas. More effective policing probably would have re sulted, Chief Blake felt. Mr. McClamroeh also said Mr. Peck was in favor of the con so'idation.

Immediately prior to the bill's passage several members of the Board of Aldermen raised ques tions expressing concern that zoning in adjacent areas of the two planning territories would not be coordinated unless some joint agreement were worked out with Carrboro authorities. ■ Town Attorney John Q. grand was instructed to draft legislation that would enable the establishing of a regional plan ning authority by mutual con sent of Chapel Hill and Carr boro.

The most vocal—and visual opposition to the Lake Forest- Qjprk Hills annexation plan came from two residents of Clark Hills, both o! them with homes on the« Booker Creek gorge. Both objected to the running of a sewer outfall line up the gorge because it would damage the natural beauty of the area. An other Clark Hills resident demand ed to know why the area was being annexed in the first place. Several Lake Forest residents appeared to support annexation. Only one person appeared to oppose annexation of a 243-acre area north of Town between Bo lin Creek ami the present Town limits. Dr. Neil Rosser, professor in the University School of Educa tion, came armed for the defense of the Booker gorge with projector and color slides. At Dr. Rosser's request the room was darkened, and he show ed a number of views of the gorge, commenting on botli aesthetic and practical obstacles to the con struction of the line as called lor m the $550,000 sewer bond election and in annexation re quirements for the two exclusive residential areas. Several of the slides showed granite outcroppings along the creek bed, which, Dr.. Rosser said, precluded anything but an above-ground sewer in the area. “Putting a suspended line down there would ruin the view, and I don't think you could put a line through that rock,” he said. “This is the only spot you can bring the line through and follow the line of gravity.” Other of Dr. Rosser's illustra tions showed wild iris and azal eas growing along the gorge. “Wc arc very much concerned about any plan that might destroy the natural beauty of this area." Dr. Rosser was joined in his objections by Dr. Stanley Kurtz, a (Continued on Page 2) mans, still manages to put the best pos sible face on a vanishing tradition.
