of orange county Chapel Hill. Hillsboro, Carrboro—Between and Beyond• HILLSBORO AND CHAPEL HILL, N. C„ THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1961 HAS IT BEEN HOT HERE abouts 'during July? Cold statis-' tics of Chapel Hill official weather observer Max Saunders say it hasn’t been unusually so for the -season. High for July was 94 on the 23rd. the mercury hit 90 or above on 14 days during July, as compared to nine July-like days when the for the previous ^ear top of 94 on July 1 was the peak for the summer. Six or seven years ago a record of 100 was set. ONE HOT WEATHER BUFF dropped this sage pearl of a sea sonal observance yesterday, de claring this to be the most un comfortable summer in Chapel Hill during the past decade. The reason: On most of the July days the humidity percentage has been equal to the high temperature— that is, in or near the 90 mark. In general confirmation of this the weather observer said it has been an unusually wet month in terms of the number of showers, though not in volume (inches) of rainfall. **' ANENT THE TOPIC OF WA ter, Chapel Hill—is setting a rec ord in consumption of it each passing month this summer. The 82,870,000 gallons pumped to the filter plant in July was an all time mark. But then the 82,575. 000 for June was, too. ’T’would’ve been even more opined the water department folks, except that the high number of scattered show ers during the month held down lawn watering—one of the great est uses of the public water sup piy ip aamtfi#*1 Hwnths. Chapel Hill uses aia average of about 150 gallons of water a day per capita —quite a bit above the national average. CELEBRATING HIS LMMI nent retirement as Town Man ager cf Chapel Hill, Tom' Rose lit up a cigarette for the first time in 20 months yesterday after noon as soon as Washington city manager Robert Peck accepted the offer to become his successor. Mr. Peck, incidentally, commented on the enterprise of a realtor here who had already called him to offer help in finding housing in Chapel Hill even before he’d ac cepted the new job.

Franklin in Chapel Hill at 3:30 p.m. yester day when a bread truck smashed into the rear of two vehicles stop ped for a signal light. Three were injured.
