ART-FOR NEW STATION—The night-time holocaust that razed the Chapel Hill Presbyterian Church several years ago has been memorialized in vivid colors on a four by eight-foot mural drawn for Chapel Hill Fire Chief James Stewart, and to be hung in his office at the new Chapel Hill Central Fire Station. The artist, sign painter Jack Howarter, operat ing under the name of Rembrandt Sign Co., came to Chapel Hill recently in search of work and took on the fop for the fire chief when regular business looked lean. The scene, when completed, is intend ed to represent downtown Chapel Hill, with all of the Town’s fire fighting equipment being shown. The church was moved, with artist’s license, from its location in the second block of E. Franklin St., to the dominating background scene on Columbia i St., looking northward from the main downtown in- . tersection. While the general idea is intended to depict Chapel Hill, the painter said the background land scape and some of the building elements were sim ply placed according' to his own feeling about the ’ picture.. ...
