There has never been a time in
all the history of this republic
when such direct and powerful
challenge was offered to American
institutions as we confront today.
There never has been a time, de-
spite our unprecedented national
prosperity, when there was so much
discomfort for destructive elements
to play upon. There never has been
a time when the summons to pa
triotic duty was so imperative; new
er time when that appeal has fall
len upon duller ears or minds less
understanding.
1t has been the history of all the
cataclysms which have engulfed the
nations that up to the moment of
upheaval warning signals have
been flown only by the few. Except
for the indifference of citizenship
these disasters would not have
come.
To those who care to know and
understand, the portents of our ma
tional undoing are at this moment
clear. The vast majority, complac-
ent and Indifferent, is dead to the
menace offered here and elsewhere
throughout the world, by militant,
organized, savage minorities intent
upon nothing less than the uproOt- /
ing of civilization. One-sixth of the |
worlds surface has already been
conquered, the shadow is dark on
third more, and the most desired OBJ
jective of all this worldwide cam
paign of destruction is the republic
of the United States.

II found that conditions were
such that the business could not
be conducted proftably. The
chain stores, the roads that
make it easy for people to go
from here to trade in cities, and
the large number of stores in
proportion to the population
these factors have tended to
make it difficult for a merchant

no pressure upon me by credi-

Exploring for a Shorter Road
From Chapel Hill to Raleigh

Mayor Robertson and I drove
out the other day to explore the
possibility of a shorter road
from Chapel Hill to Raleigh.
This, in brief, is what We
learned: that by following
roads which are already in use
and which for most of the way
are in good conditon-the ira
veler can save eight miles as
compared with the all-paved
route by way of, Durham.
We left here by the "old Ra-
leigh road" About three miles
from the Chapel Hill post-of-
flee, at the Orange-Durham
county line, we turned to the
left and went along the New
Hope Valley road toward the
city of Durham. At the Ever
green Farm, three miles far
ther on-six miles from Chapel
Hill-we turned to the right and
followed the road recently built
by Durham county, running
from the New Hope Valley road
through loves Grove to Mel
son on the paved Durham-Ra-
leigh highway, a distance of a.
bout 7 miles.
That is, we drove 13 miles
from Chapel Hill to Nelson over
a dirt road. 1t is II miles from
Nelson to Raleigh over the pave
ment. Total distance, Chapel
Hill to Raleigh, 80 miles.
The distance from Chapel Hill
to Raleigh by way of Durham is
38 miles.
The Condition of the Road
OF course the condition of the
road, along this shorter route,
is a vital consideration. The
day of our drive the weather
was fine, and for weeks there
had been little rain. SO the 60
ing was good, But there were
some stretches which, we could
easily see, would be next to i'm
passable in bad weather.
These stretches, however,
cover but a small proportion of
the entire distance from here to
Nelson. The two sections which

PENDERGRAFT MAY START

Now that the Safety Coach
line has bought out the three
public automobile concerns that
formerly operated between here
and Durham, Chapel Hill has
walked up to the fact that it has
no local transportation service
that is, no vehicles which can
be summoned for trips from one
place to another within the linn
its of the village.
The Safety Coach runs its cars
between here and Durham on a
regular hourly sohedule-leav-
ing each town every hour on the
hour between 8 A. M. and II
P. M. This is the only business
it is interested in, as far as
Chapel Hill is concerned. 1t

Just what had happened when
the new company took charge.
and Mr.. Jordan, the Chapel Hill
manager for the company, has
been receiving calls from people
who wanted cars for local trips.
But he has to tell them that he
is not prepared to serve them.
1t is regarded as probable,
however, that before long some
body will put in operation one or
more cars for use inside of
Chapel Hill. There is a report
that Robert Pendergraft has
such an enterprise in mind. He
is out of town now, having gone
to Florida and then on to
Vicksburg, Mississippi, in his
Ford roadster with Elmer
Lloyd. He is expected back to-
morrow.

are in worst condition are: first,
Blake's hill, just outside the
town limits of Chapel Hill !;
second, through the "low-
grounds" in Durham county
just beyond Needham Lloyd's
farm, about four miles from the
Chapel Hill post-office.
Beyond the ''lowgrounds" the
New Hope valley road is in fair
shape to the place where the
new road turns off toward
loves Grove. And this new
road, for the seven miles to Mel
son promises to be, from now on,
excellent. A year ago, soon af-
ter it was built, the hard rains
made it soft and for a while it
was out of commission. But the
Durham county road authorities
have been doing a great deal of
work on it for the reason that it
is needed for the passage of the
school trucks running to loves
Grove from both the east and
the west, and they intend to
keep it in good condition. For
a large part of the way it is on
sandy soil, which means that it
will suffer the minimum of dam
age from rains.
A Choice of Routes
The "old Raleigh road" out of
Chapel Hill passed out of Orange
into Durham county and then
ran across the northwestern cor
ner of Chatham before entering
Wake. 1t joined the Durham.
Raleigh highway at Morrisville
which is 16 miles from ChapeI
Hill and II miles from Raleigh
Therefore it was % miles from
Chapel Hill to the capital, 1C
miles less than the distance a.
round by Durham.
If the route by loves Grove
is followed, the saving is two
miles less than it would be if the
"old Raleigh road" were restor-
ed. But this old road has gone
to pieces. To bring it into be-
ing again, four counties would
have to take concerted action

Closing Plan a Success

The merchants of Chapel Hill
are convinced that the plan of
closing Thursday afternoons, to
give their employees some time
for recreation, is a good one, and
they intend to repeat it next
year.
"Our customers, and believe
the customers of the other mer-
chants" said John T. Fowler of
the Model Market yesterday,
seem to be all sympathetic with
the idea. They realize that the
workers in the stores should get
some rest during the week in
the summertime. These workers
can't lay off on Saturdays, as
clerks do in some Of the big
cities, because here Saturday is
the busiest day and the stores
have to keep open later than
usual instead Of closing at mid
day. The closing on Thursday
does not mean any money loss to
the clerks who work in the
stores, for their pay is not re-
duced because of the one after
noon holiday"
