C., THURSDAY, AUGUST 31. 1961 24 PAGES PROPOSED CHAPEL HILL POOL—JUST LIKE GRAHAM'S Swimming pool campaign planned for Chapel Hill —Story on Page 4 \4 ONLY THE MOST ARDENT devotees of astronomy were re warded with a good glimpse of the lunar eclipse last Friday , night. Morehead Planetarium Di rector Tony Jenzano said the heavy overcast and intermittent drizzling' continued throughout the phenomenon. Using binocu lars, however, he got several good . glimpses when the haze parted for a few moments. The heavy clouds, by refraction of light, heightened the color vari ation of the moon, Mr. Jenzano reported, adding that the lower rim appeared greenish . . . not cheese, though.

The fact brought to mind the story 1*^ a father out in tfc* newest calling home last Friday night to tell his daughter ■ about it. "The moon is in eclipse,” said dad. ‘It is,” re plied daughter.
