of orange county Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, Carrboro—Between and Beyond VOL. 72, NO. 9 HILLSBOROUGH AND CHAPEL HILL, N. C., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1964 24 PAGES | Orange Pealings THE NEWLY-PASSED FED eral law to extend rural library aid to urban public libraries and to assist in local library con struction costs is perfectly timed for the benefit of the Chapel Hill Public Library, officials hope. Funds for purchases of books and services will be avail able* to the Chapel Hill Library soon, they trust. In addition they are anticipating the possibility that the new law will make it possible for them to obtain a grant for a certain percentage of the construction cost of a perma nent home for the Town’s six year-old library. CHAPEL HILL GAINED A nbw radio station,, this week — call -fetters KDV418. It’s a very simple but exclusive network for public works personnel of the - town government. Through using it complaints on sewer, garbage, or other municipal services can be handled much more quickly and- efficiently, Town Manager Bob Peck predicts. The simple,’ compact new rig looks and op erates just like an additional tele phone on a Town Hall desk. FALSE SPRING DESCENDED on the Land of Orange yester day, hard on the heels of the bitter swirling snow and rain storms of the day before. While 70 days of official winter to date have been without a snowfall that’s lasted over a day, he who assumes that, winters over is in for disillusionment. The last throes of sub-freezing weather, and even snow, have in past years struck Piedmont Tar Heelia as late as mid-April, and not at all infrequently on the Ides of March.

In character with national tradition, too, is a feeling of nom inal dislike for a powerful, big * bruiser like Liston, despite legi timate considerations.for the . Marquis " of jjueeriSburyV But America also reacts against a blowhard, a braggart, and a fel low who shoots off his meuth in babbling torrents as “I-am-the King” has done. NEW INTELLIGENCE DE partment: Just as their police brethren do, firemen who wear garrison hats carry their valu able papers inside them. Some officers can stash a half-dozen summonses and warrants in this oft-overlooked receptacle. All firemen and policemen tradition ally use the flat hat as the ex clusive portable holder for their pay checks, greasy kid stuff not withstanding. Ome officer point er ed out the advisability of this, noting, that a stick-up man would likely not think to search his vic tim’s hat. SOME OF THE FIREMEN were standing around talking a bout the the other day, swap ping yarns about the coldest they had ever been while fighting a fire. One recalled the time he was holding on to a ladder, pulled his hands away, and his gloves j stuck to the rungs. Another told ! of the bitter morning he fell into i the basement of a burning build ing, and found himself in six feet of hydrant water.
