Probably no other town ever needed a. good hotel more sorely than does this seat of the University of North Carolina. The need is discussed seriously enough by -the inhabitants themselves, but it takes the voice of a passer-through to register the genuine note of distress. Indeed, the tone of the stranger who has sought eating and sleeping accom modations in Chapel Hill usually be trays, something worse than distress contains more than a hint of mar tyrdom. ' i". With great expansion in process. both on the campus and in the vil lage, the lack of a hotel is the dark spot in the outlook of Chapel Hill the blot on the landscape, the fly in the ointment the toad in the bed. Dormitories and class-room buildings and stores and dwellings .are going up; the new. hard-surface road from Durham is soon to be completed, the railroad extension from Tarboro sta tion on the south ( edge of the campus will be opened this fall t ditches for the water mains and sewers are seen at every turn all this gives Chapel Hill an aspect' of activity such as it has never before seen. But that Jong-prayed-for hotel lingers in the nimbus of an uncer tain future. , Mr. and Mrs.' A; V. Hamrick and. Mrs. Leandcr Hamrick returned ln?t week front a trip to CulJluia t,.u Wrightsville.
