June- probably, some legisla
tors will find themselves zig
ging when they should have
zagged.
OR BUNC—We are indebted
to Columnist Charles Craven,
as good as they conu* in
these parts, for looking at
the State College-name
change business in the pro
per light.
By using the name of the
city in which the University
branch is situated, one conies
up with a charming play on
wards. The State College
branch at Raleigh would be
“Raleigh, University of North
Carolina”, the one at Chapel
Hill would be “Chapel Hill,
University of North Caro
lina’’, and the unit in Greens
boro would be “Greensboro,
University of North Caro
lina".
But initials, due to our
verbal laziness these days,
are prefered Thus the Ral
eigh unit would be RUNG;
the Chapel Hill unit, CHUN
C;and the one in Greensboro,
GUNC. Then for one yell for
the entire University system
it would be: “Rune, C'hunc,
Gunc, Rune Chunc, Gunc".
And so forth. Get it? A yell
like that could moan a lot
to our teams—unless they
are playing each other. Or,
unless we happened to estab
lish a strong branch at Shel
by.
Also, it would prevent
forever the establishment of
a unit at Burlington. Well—
maybe we ought to forget
the whole thing.
WHY NOT VOTE?—There is
a grout) in this State de
termined—and the propagan
da pressure is now pushing—
to have State College re
named to “The University of
North Carolina at Raleigh”.
Some of the important com
ponents of this group are
graduates of the University
of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill.
Without going into the
long background of making
State College a unit of
Greater University of North
Carolina—with the bitterness
that followed and still fol
lows—why can't a vote be
held among the State Col
lege alumni and members of
the student body to deter
mine the name they want?
The question would be sim
ple. They would be asked to
check as their name selection
one of the following: N. C.
State College, University of
North Carolina at Raleigh, or
X. C. State University.
Then the Legislature could
look at the vote and go ac
cordingly. The students at
State and the alumni of State
houid la in the driver’s
-i a (in this one. We doubt
the vote will ever be official
ly held. Why? Because those
wasting the name to be
“fa University of North
Carolina at Raleigh” knows
this name would be at tin
bottom of the list in the
citing, that’s why. To which
say: "Bunk!” Let’s have
the vote.
ii ( >>; I'KAST \
in Fayetteville City
Street, Fayetteville -got
days on the roads for steal
a 15-cent bottle of kot '
court, Charlie Bryant of
Fayetteville, Route 5, got 90
days for stealing a soft
drink.
These 90-day sentences
seem pretty stiff. “Especial
ly so’’, says Hoover Adams,
, litor of the Dunn Daily Re
cord, "when you consider the
case of two hip investment
and securities dealers. R. C .
Kirchofer and his top side
kick James W. (Jim) Thomp
son. tried just a few days
earlier in U. S. District Court
at New Bern.
“Kirchofer and Thompson
admitted they were guilty of
taking a vast sum of money
—estimated from $-1 to $6
million dollars—from orph
ans, widows and others.
They claimed they gambled
it away in a grandiose in
vestment scheme which they
hoped would make them rich
er.
“—Despite their admission
of guilt, Kirchofer and
Thmopson walked out of
court as free men, their
punishment nothing more
than a few years on pro
bation.”
In his hard-hitting editor
ial, Adams says further:
“Just a little pencil calcula
tion will show you that if all
three had been served out of
the same spoon—at the rate
of 90 days for every ten
cents stolen—both Kirchofer
and Thompson would have
received ten million years
imprisonment each. That is
based on the minimum of
?1 million they got away with
—The irony is that nobody
suffered from the theft of
the soft drink. Hundreds suf
fered—and some of them
were left destitute—by the
crimes of Kirchofer and
Thompson.”
JUST WONDERFUL: And
it is just wonderful—now,
isn’t it?—how we voted Court
Refarm. Those Inferior
Courts, don’t you know? flow
terrible they are: where one
driver is charged $13 for an
offense in one county and
only $11.40 for the same of
fense in another county. How
disgraceful. Or. in other
words, Barnett, Bryant, Kir
chofer and Thompson. Rune,
Chunc, and Bunc!

ITS RELIABILITY COMES FROM ITS QUALITY
A nutshell description of Chevrolet trucks could be
“Trucks That Work”. It’s not exactly earthshak
ing but it says a mouthful. It’s what Chevrolet
trucks are best known for—their reliability. Ready
to work, day after day, whenever you are.
You can’t build trucks that perform like this
if you don’t put quality into engine, chassis and
body. Chevrolet does: double-wall construction,
insulated cab, select-wood body floor, chain
supported tailgate, ladder-type frame, the careful
attention to upholstery and finish. It’s this kind
of quality that makes any Chevrolet truck—from
pickup to heavyweight tandem —worth more on
the average at trade-in!

Old Customs Are Still Observed
At Christinas In Many Lands
Although universal in its spirit and purpose, Christmas
is observed in many different ways throughout the world
Individual countries have acquired literally thousands of
customs through the ages. Some have been discarded along
the way, while others are still observed.
Mexicans Break “Pinata
In Mexico, for example,
breaking the “Pinata." an
earthenware jug filled with
fruits, nuts and candies is
still an important Christmas
custom. Blindfolded children
armed with sticks try to
break it open. When they suc
ceed, all join in the scramble
for the “goodies” that pour
out.
In the Northland of Cana
da, the Eskimos have a uni
que Christmas custom. En
tire Eskimo communities set
off to visit neighboring
towns. The following year
the visit is repayed and the
visiting town becomes host.
In Finland, all members of
Finnish families must take a
steam bath before the festiv
ities of Christmas Eve can
begin.
Spark* Bring Blessings
In Yugosliavia, the Christ
mas celebration is centered
around the Yule Log. A
young tree is felled and
brought into the house be
fore sunrise on Christmas
morning. While burning, it is
struck with an iron rod
causing sparks to fly up the
chimney. Tradition says that
blessings as numerous as the
sparks will fall on the fam
ily during the coming year.
In Greece, special loaves
of bread are baked for the
Christmas celebration. Each
loaf is marked with a cross
on top; a silver coin conceal
ed in each. According to
custom, the person finding
the coin is destined for a
prosperous year.
In India, one week before
the holiday, all villages that
observe Christmas, fast by
not eating animal food. On
the last day they eat no food
at all until they take com
munion on Christmas Eve.
Greeting Cards Universal
Probably the most univer-1
1 sal custom associated with j
| Christmas is sending Christ
i mas cards.
For a i >k :o that is so
! well established all over the
world, it is relatively new,
I !i"wevei iu-t over a century
old,
j It was in 1843 that the
| first Christmas card was
i published in England by Sir
j Henry Cole, who commission
'd an artist named John
Horsley to design a Christ
mas “greeting” for him be
cause he was too busy to
| write to his friends at
! Christmas.
Some Send N. 1 . Cards
Since then, the sending of
Christmas cards has become
almost universal, although in
some countries greetings are
sent for the New Year, in
stead of Christmas.
This year, more than three
billion Christmas cards will
be mailed in the United
States, alone. This is an a
verage of approximately la
cards per person.
Even Santa Claus takes on
different forms and conies at
different times in certair
countries!
banta Comes Jan. b
In Spain, he bears his tradi
tional shifts on January 6, the
feast of the Epiphany which
celebrates the arrival of the
Three Wise Men. Spanish
children fill their shoes with
straw for the camels of the
Wise Men, and place them
on the window sills. Similar
ly, in Holland, children place
their wooden shoes filled with
hay in a corner or a ledge,
but it's for Santa’s white
horse.
a
In
big
Germany, Santa wears
chain which he rattles
at the door. I army and cook
ies go to the good youngsters,
the bad ones get empty pota
to sacks.
IT ALT
In Italy, Santa comes as an
old woman on a broomstick.
She is named La Befona, and
leaves ^ifts in the children’s
shoes.
