of orange county Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, Carrboro—Between and Beyond VOL. 72, NO. 28 HILLSBOROUGH AND CHAPEL HILL, N. C., THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1964 20 PAGES ^ WHILE THE 120-ACRE SITE for the proposed new SI-4 mil lion Ohapel Hill Senior High School is considered quite simply a proper and adequate site by school authorities, it is interest ing to ponder that this acreage is considerably more than the to tal of the old main campus of the University — and almost double the size of the Georgia Tech cam pus in Atlanta. Doubtless other such prima facie startling cases could be cited, too. THE GALA FIREWORKS Dis play was the feature attraction for The evening. But those tiny heat-propelled wax-flame lamps stole the show at the Fourth of July celebration on Emerson Field last Saturday night. The lad who set ’em out said they cost gbout 10 cents each and came from Brazil. Constructed of a light translucent paper, the lamps had a wax-fueled wick in the base, and were propelled by the candle-like heat across the depth of the field until they burned out. MISS ORANGE COUNTY, ANN Sikes, went to the state beauty pageant in Raleigh Tuesday noon with a surprise party sendoff. Her fellow office workers at .Me morial Hospital joined with a mixed bag of scholars in greet ing her for a brief Coke break as she departed with Jaycee es cort Tommy Gardner, Merchants Association President Joe Augus tine presented her an engraved good luck bracelet and Mayor Sandy McClamroch gave her the $250 scholarship check she was due for winning the local pageant * . . Finally, she was handed a gift-wrapped bottle of bath salts —to replace the one she broke in packing up! MISS LESLIE McCRACKEN of Glenn Height^ in Chapel Hill writes in to add two more strange parallels to those cited between John F. Kennedy and Abe Lincoln in a letter from Rob ert Hooker of Hillsborough, pub lished last week: Both John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Os wald were shot in the stomach several days after the slating of each president. And both Lincoln and Kennedy were shot in the back of the head! THE REV. KIM5EY KINO, formerly of the Aldersgote Meth odist Oimuxjh in Chaipel Hill and son df Prof, and Mrs. A. K. King of Chaipel Hill, has been transfer red to Ahoskie where he is pas tor of the Methodist Church there.

OUICKI HOW MANY KNOW the name of the new brick apart ment development for married students in the University. No, it is not Victory Village. It’s “Odum Village,” and is so desig nated by formal action of the Universitd Trusitees recently. The 306-unit development is in shouting distance of the home of the late University sociologist. His residence is on the crown of what’s called “Odum’s Hill,” foe fog Brierbridge Lane. Joker & 'Miracle Whip' win, also...
