Chapel Hill Like Topsy
Chuckles Collier Cobb
Chapel Hill, August 9—“It’s
lucky we’ve come out as well as
we have; we’re w|sere we are in
spite -of the fact that Chapel Hill
has grown with np planning. Yes,
the town just grey.” These are
the words Collier Ctjbb,Jr., used to
sum up growth in title village dur
ing the last fifty years as he spoke
to Rotarians last night.
Using as his th«he the Chapel
Hill he knew as a boy, a Chapel
Hill full of odd characters, lack
ing in water, electricity, brick
buildings and paved streets, Mr.
Cobb sketched the gradual change
that brought his native village from
a college community supporting
only 316 Students in 1893 to a
town buzzing with the night chat
ter of over 4,000 young people.
Said Cobb, “If enrollment at-the
University iiirteastfi from 316 in
1893 to 572 in lg02 and then to
4.000 in 1945, is it Illogical to think
that 20 years from now between
10.000 and 15,000 students may
come here each **af? And is it
odd to begin now to plan for
their coming?”
“There is a negd to extend the
city limits and establish zones of
control if there i* to be order in
stead of chaos in the years to come.
My wholehearted.- belief is that
the University must cooperate in
this planning as much as towns
people and suburbanites. Only
when aD thnse jppislons get to
gether and demand' legislative ac
tion for extension of the city limits
will anything be acomplished. By
extending the city limits, building
can be regulated in certain zones,
and order will be achieved.”
Cobb’s recollections of the com
munity characters back in the ear
ly part of this Century brought
many chuckles from the Rotary
members present. Colored Toro
Dunstan, a barber whose shop
stood on the site of the present
bicycle shop, was the originator of
some side-splitting tales. One
particular incident that Cobb re
membered was the time Tom was
asked how he liked the new Uni
versity president, Dr. Venable.
Comparing Dr. Venable to the
former president, “Marse Ed”
Alderman who waS a great orator,
old Tom replied, “Well, suh, I
guess Doctah Vendble’s all right,
but he can’t diaiate. expatiate,

Donated Clothes
Are On The Way
To War Victim
Clothing contributed by the Am
erican people will reach millions
of war victims overseas before
winter sets in, according to a re
port from Henry J. Kaiser, nation
al chairman of the United Nat
ional Clothing Collection.
The report included a statement
by President Truman that the Id
eal clothing collection committ
ees throughout America “have ren
dered a service to world peace.”
This report was received in
Chapel Hill by W. D. Carmifchael,
Sr., and Mrs. R, B. Lawson, chair
men of the drive there, -last week.
W. W. Abemethy of Hillsboro has
had no word from the national
headquarters yet, but' it is as
sumed that clothes contributed by
Hillsboro people are included in
this shipment going overseas.
Speaking for the Chapel Hill
' people, Carmichael and Mrs. Law
son said, “Every person who helped
our comunlty colect these clothes
should feel proud of having par
ticipated in the great cause. We
. are all glad to know that the cloth
ing is now on its way overseas
to relieve the suffering people. We
warmly' welcome the official as
surance from Mr. Kaiser of a bal
ing and shipping program design
ed to get our contributions, along
with those from other communi
ties, on the backs of the needy
boys and girls and men and women
before winter.”
The report from Kaiser point
ed out that the first-large ship
ment of clothing left America
within 30 days after the clothing
campaign ended.

Rate Remains
$0.88 on $100
Meeting Monday, the countyi
commissioners adopted the ten

modifications. Rate for ail county
tax payers will be $ .88 on the

From this fee $317,581.80 must
be raised to meet expected county

service, general county fund, sal
ary fund, school current expenses,
school capital outlay, school debt
service, and the welfare fund.
The commissioners revised the

performed every other year. This
meant securing’ a complete list of
those who paid their 1944 taxes and .
eliminating names of those per
sons known to bn physically un- / '
«t for jury service and those names
which appeared In duplicate. This
revised list will serve as a draw
