Survivors
Surviving are Mrs. Strowd; a
.son, Robert Lee of Chapel Hill;
a daughter, Mrs. J. B. Johns of
.4sheboro; two sisters, Mrs. R. E.
Devereau.x of Blacksburg, Virgin
ia, and Mrs. C. G. Ashby of Elkin;
and seven grandchildren.
Born on August 16, 1892, he was
the son of Robert Lee Strowd, pio
neer Chapel Hill merchant, and
Fannie Headon St.'owd, a native of
Pittsboro. The name Strowd Hill is
taken from his family name and
covers the area which was included
in the original home place on Davie '
Circle.
Mr. Strowd attended school in
Chattel Hill and at N. C. State Col
lege in Raleigh. He opened a garage
here more than 40 years. Long a
civic leader ,in affairs of the town
and county, he was for many years
a C.'iapel Hill alderman and se ved
as chairman of the County Welfare
Board. In 1937 he was voted the
town’s most valuable citizen, an
award then given by the Kiwanis
Club. He was a member of the
University Methodist Church, a
charter member of the Rotary
Club, a Mason, and one of the few
lay members of the Faculty Club.
Ford Dealer Since '14
In 1914 he became a dealer for
Ford automobiles, opening the
Strowd Motor Company from which
he retired in 1953. For several
years previous to that time he
had operated his garage near the
site of the Porthole Restaurant
and took orders for Ford automo
biles.
About 1907 he built a car known
as .the Strowdmobile—a one and
one-half horsepc'wer two-cycle en
gine, steered wiLa a wheel taken
from a sewing machine attached to
a bicycle sprocket and chain, and
having a drag brake.

Medical authorities representing ^
the National Academy of Science
and the Atomic Energy Committee ,
will continue to be alert for such
developments. Continued study is .
necesary, said Dr. Burnett. |
Dr. Burnett, head of the Dept. ;
of Medicine in UNC’s Medical |
School, was one of a survey team ;
which has been investigating A-
bomb radiation exposure. He has
just returned from the Far East
from an inspection trip sponsored :
by the Atom.ic Energy Commis- |
, sion, the National Academy of '
I Sci'ence and the Rockefeller Foun- ’
I dation. i
i He has been a member of the
AEC Advisory Committe for Bi-
i ology and Medicine during the past
^ three years, and the recent in-
i spection trip lasted abuot 30 days.
I Dr. Biumett took a side trip to
Hong Kong to study facts relating
j to medical institutions there while |
I on the Far Eastern tour. |

by a UNC Medical School phy.si-
cian, was announced yesterday as
revealing that no new effects of
radiation not previously announc
ed have so far been detected.
These previously reported effects
had included late cataracts and an
increased incidence of leukemia.
This may mean, Dr. Charles Hoyt
Burnett said, that all the effects of
radiation tliat are going to occur

Varsity
-NOW SHOWNG-
number of years ago, Mr. Strowd
jokingly said: “The engine was
without a muffler and the horses
in the community became fr.ghten-
ed at the sound, sight, and smell,
so the gbod town fathers passed a
law prohibiting me from ‘operat
ing a contrivance driven by a gas
engine.’ As that was 30 years ago
and since this law was’ never re
pealed I estimate that I have vio
lated the law 90,000 times here
wilhout ever being arrested.”
