If every g moves along as planned right after the knockout, don’t be sur prised if Adlai Stevenson is the man the Democrats Will offer up again in 195-6. Of course, you im mediately harken back to that old spellbinder, William Jennings Bryan, who could lay it on m his day as Adlai has in his n. You say well he was nominated, renominated, and renominated, all to no account, and do we want to get on that kind of read again? Could be? Yes, could be. With all due respect, Bryan was no Ad lai. Just a lot of Bryan’s speechgs were of the listenin’ variety. Th-y heard well, but the next day vou wondered what in thunder he said that was so good, ft wasn’t wna he said but the way that he said it Adlai’s speeches read, if an> thi'ng, just a litle better than they listen. A place of permanence is his in Bartlett’s Familiar Quota tions! jjow as for money, William Jen nings Bryan probably netted a larger amount touring with chau tauquas during the last 20 yea of his life than did Teddy or Taft in their years as President. Adlai Stevenson oould very wel be the man in 1956, after the sugar coating has worn off Ike and h has given some fireside chats on Jke economic frosts expected to begin about a year from now.

The laymen had a feeling that the pastor ought to “get tough” One deacfen suggested that he “pull out all the stops”, indicating that he thought a little “Truman tactics” would be in order. Dr. Habel agreed to comply with the request after it had been “linder lined” by the Finance Committee, headed by Dr. Fred Ellis, professor in the U.N.C. Medical School. The minister announced his topic as, “Your Money and Your Life!" The service Sunday morning will be in preparation for the Harvest Home celebration and JbastfsChest Day on November 23rd. On that day the church will have a Thanksgiving service. A large antique chest will be'plac ed in the front of the sanctuary to receive the pledges of the mem bers to the 1953 budget. The chest will be called “Joash’s Chest”, recalling a time in Old Testatment days when King Joash put a chest in the front of the temple to receive the gifts of the people in order that the temple might be restored. The proposed 1953 Budget of the Baptist Church of Chapel Hill will total approximately $30,000. It will be presented for adoption at the annual Thanksgiving Din ner Conference of the churclv on November 25. The 1953 Budget will contain a line item indicated as the first step of a 5-year Go Forward Program which will in volve the raising of $60,!K)d. be yond the regular operating budget of the church for general improve ments and additional full-time church personnel. Included will be a capital fund for the purchase of a new. furnace a capital fund for remodeling and renovating the church interior and modernizing the kitchen a capital fund for the acquisition of additional land space the salary of a fulltime Dir^ ector of Religious Education and additional funds to supplement th'e' fttrrd new being- raised atn°ng former Baptist students in the University for the purchase of a long-needed pipe organ. o Friends Begin Hospital Fond ForE. F. Code Friends of E. F. Cy,de, school teacher and former principal of Aycock High School, “haVe been inquiring aboi^t his condition. _ jy[r. Gude had a cerebral hem orhage September 21st, and has, been in the Alamano^ -General Hospital, Burlington, since that j time. His condition is improved,, but he is still in a serious con-, dition. Many friends have suggested they would like to contribute to the hospital expenses of Mr. Cude, realizing that so long a stay in the hospital is very expensive; therefore, it has been decided to give public notice through the county papers that anyone desir ing to help Mr. Cude financially could do so by sending their gift to either of the following people: Rev. -Henry B. Lewis, Cedar Grove; Donald McDade, Cedar Grove; Gordon Liner, Cedar Grove. This is the eighth week of hos pitalization,*and with the high cost cf’ hospital care it takes little im agination to see what a huge hos pital bill is accumulating.

It broadcasts on a frequency of 91.5 megacycles with a power of 1,450 watts. The new station went on the air Monday, November 3. It can be heard from 7 to 10 o’clock each evening. News, music and dra matic programs are being offered. Opening of the station marked the culmination pt -a *great deal of hard work and planning as well as the beginning of an- operatfbn for which University officials have high hopes. k Chancellor Robert B. House, in announcing WUNCs ‘ premiere, referred to the station as “a big stride toward President Gray’s goal of making the University be come, the heart, the will, the brain and the conscience of the State of North Carolina.’ ” Radio is not new at the Univer sity. The Department of Radio is well-established and favorably rated; and the Communication Center, headed by Earl Wynn, Has gaii|M national recognition With its prize-winning “University Hour.” More recently, the Center delv ed into TV, producing 12 educa tional kinescopes this fall. But WUNC is the first project aimed at bringing to the people of the state the fund of talent, informa tion, and opinion in the University. «In addition, WUNC has the unique feature of being operated entirely by students. Student Manager John Young described the idea of a student staff as “an approach which is duplicated in few, if any, stations with purposes similar to ours.” Assistant manager of WUNC isj Tom Carroll, a senior in the De- j partment of Radio from Charlofle.! He said he is aware of the respan- ( sibilities involved 4n representing i the University, but expressed com_ I plete confidence is his staff. Mike j Healy of Allendale, N.

Hill is studio en gineering manager. Kent Jackson, I High Rcint, heads promotion. j , • V; f Hillsboro _ The Boerd of County Commissioner, wrestling mightily with itself for the correct solution to its problem, voted unanimously Monday night to have a complete revaluation of property through out Orange County next year by a professional appraising firm. The revaluation will be con ducted by the J. M. Clemenshaw Company, of Greensboro, for a fee ranging from $44,000 to $47,900, depending upon whether a long or short form of appraisal is used on machinery and other equipment of industrial firms. ' The work will be done bet ween January 15, 1993 and cember 1, 1953 under terms contracts now being reviewed the county attorney. The com plete Job will be divided into two separate contracts to enable pay ment over a twoiflcal year period The sum of $18,000 was appro priated for the project in the bud get of the current fiscal year, which ends June 30. Under the first contract, the firm will appraise industrial and commercial real property and all personal property of commercial establishments exclusive of inven tories. All other property will 6e appraised after July 1, 1953 and prior to December I, 1953 and will go into effect with the listing of property in January 1954. The county’s last complete re valuation was in 1947 by a board compose*!,of local citizens. v The revaluation, as Chairman Collier Cobb emphasized at the meeting of decision Monday night has as its purpose to equalize the valuation of all property of all citizens in every part of the county The greater competence and Ex perience of the professional apprai. ser as well as the inability to obtain a competent local board for the job were major factors in the decision. The board voted f inst having a tax map made the time which would . hoya cost approximately $15,000 add itional. A decision ofi #hetner the long or short form on industrial machinery will be used will be made next year. Monday night’s decision came after Commissioner Sim Efland ' objected strongly to the amount of the Clemenshaw firm’s propo sal, which was the lowest of the two received from the only major firms doing this type of work in North Carolina. Efland repeatedly argued that the amount was two high but finally agreed reluctant ly to second the motion of Com missioner R. O. Forrest that the fHrmTs "bid be accepted. Forrest : arid Cobb leaned to position that the Board had no choice but to accept the lowest proposal after all members were in igrtg ment that, the professional firm could do the job better. iHenry Lewis of the staff of the Institute of Government, who along, with- Commissioner-Elect R. J. M. Hobbs sat in with the board in an advisory capacity, termed the difference in the amount Efland said the firm should charge and the proposal as neligible in view of the gains which would be realized from the revaluation. Efland had estimated the cost on the basis of experience in other counties should be $40, 800. Todd Mew Head Of Chapel Hill Merchants Body Chapel Hill _ R.
