They knew that Terry Sanford, as the well known story goes, had more room-mates while at Carolina than there were students on the campus, hut didn’t think he’d been at the six-bedroom Umstead manor. Margaret Rose Sanford, flashing a quick smile, gave her own explanation. She’d come, she said, to see Hank “Fish” Worley, former Carolina basketball star and ex-director of Graham Me morial whom she dated in her pre-Terry days at UNC. “Fish,” Still tall as a basketball net, came in from Chattanooga for the clambake.

It’s to be completed prior to the centennial commem oration next April of Gen. Joseph Johnston’s surrender to Gen. Sherman there. In fact, the Ben nett Place program is expected to be the largest single obser vance of the Civil War Centen nial in North Carolina next year. The money for the project is to be privately raised, it is under stood. And it is foregone that Gen. Johnston’s temporary head *■ quarters house near Hillsborough ■will in some way figure in the observance, too. BETTY SMITH OF CHAPEL Hill has been asked by N.
