RELOCATION OF UTILITY fixtures on Chapel Hill’s E. Rose mary St. during the current street widening project is a har rowing experience for some resi dence. Woman who runs a beauty shop there reported she put a special lotion on a customer’s hair recently. When she turned on a hose to wash it off nothing came out but a big belch of air. The water had been cut, off without any warning while the meter was being re-set. ‘You can’t leave that lotion on a person’s hair and keep ’em as a customer,” the harrassed operator explained. THEY HAD A THREE-TIERED cake on the serving table at the Bud Perrys’ golden anniversary fete in Chapel Hill last Sunday, but it was a fake. Just some iced and decorated pans. No need for cake, onfe. member of the family explained —' Uncle Bud likes sweet tater pie.” Chapel Hill’s former fire chief and late ly retired barber looked trim and healthy, 16 weeks to the day after he suffered a heart attack. EVERYBODY WITH HALF A recollection of the' several leng thy prayers delivered at the President’s inaugural last winter got a boot out of Presidential Press Secretary Pierre Salinger’s opening comment in addressing editorial writers in Chapel Hill last Saturday night. “I was im pressed by the succinct words in the invocation tonight.” he de clared. “Every time that a news paperman gives an invocation it’s short and 10 the point. So I’m going to suggest to the ‘President that in 1964 . . .” MR. SALINGER, AN ADEPT press agent for his boss, stressed the opening of channels of pub lic informtaion since the Kennedy administration took over. The President’s recent a(peech con* cerning self-censorship by the press has been mis-interpreted, he declared. All JFK intended to convey was that the press should “ re-examine the problems” in volved in publishing stories on some crucial issues. Or so spoke Salinger.

The program of entrance ex aminations, begun in the fall of 1958, has proved to be very use ful, according to President Fri day’s report.
