NOW MANY PERSONS DRIV
ing along Durham Road in front
of radio station WCHL have fail
ed to notice the new WCHL sign,
« erected almost two months ago in
front of the studios? The special
use permit granted for the sign
limits it 10 feet behind the high
way right-of-way — or about 70
feet from the present highway.
Though quite attractive, the sign
is also quite easy to miss.

PERSONS IN CHAPEL HILL
who receive their mail thru the
University of North Carolina
have been asked by the federal
government to use ZIP code num
ber 27515 for their return ad
dress, rather than 27514 — the
ZIP code designation for all oth
er Chapel Hill postoffice address
es. At this writing local postal
officials cannot explain the need
for the different number, since
ail University mail must go
through the Chapel Hill postof
fice, which is designated as one
number less—514. (See related
story, this issue.)
ABOUT 100 PERSONS, MOST
ly students, and about evenly
split between the races, staged a
formal demonstration in front of
Colonial Drug Store in Chapel
Hill at 5:45 p.m. yesterday. They
faced a half-dozen counter pick
ets standing in front of the store
and behind a line of- Chapel Hill
policemen. The sign-toting pro
testors sang their freedom songs
for about 15 minute? before re
turning to St. Joseph’s C.M.E.
Church for a brief outdoor meet
ing. From the spectator point of
view the demonstration had a
ring of sincerity, but was not a
very rousing affair.
