VAIN SEARCH FOR
QUARFERSONDAY
OF THE BIG GAME
Students Go about the Village
Hunting Rooms for Rel
atives and Friends
1879 BOOKINGS ALREADY

A man walked up to the desk
at the Carolina Inn yesterday
and asked the manager to re-
serve him a room for Thanksgiv-
ing. For more than a year, "
responded Mr.. Gattman, "every
room in the Inn has been en-
gagged; and we are now getting
requests for reservations for
Thanksgiving two years hence.
In fact, most of the rooms have
already been bespoken for 1929"
The hotels in Durham are
also filled, and students are sour
rying hither and yon around the
village in the effort to find
lodgings for their best girls,
families, and friends who are
planning to come here for the
Virvinia-Carolina game.
Work on the road from Pitts
boro is being rushed in order
that this new concrete boulevard
may be opened for traffic before
the oath. This will give the peo-
pie from Charlotte, Pinehurst,
and intermediate towns a hard
surface route all the way to
Chapel Hill. The Hillsboro road
has been treated with tar and
gravel; so, with three all
weather approaches to the vii
lage, there should be no excess
sive crowding on the Durham
road this year.
w. r. Kenan, donor of the
stadium, will be the honor guest
of the University on Thanksgiv-
ing Day. The governors of
North Carolina and Virginia will
be here too, and invitations have
been sent to the members of the
football team of 1893, on which
Mr.. Kenan played. The Caro-
lima Inn will serve dinner to
the guests of the University.
Work on the stadium and it's
approaches has been almost
completed.-J. Il. G.

Member Of a Group Which Will Make
Study of Schools There

r. w. Knight, of the Univer-
sity's school of education, re-
turned early in the week from
New York where he attended a
conference of school men who
had been asked to direct sur
vey of the schools of Florida.
The legislature of that state or
dered the survey, and the con-
ference in New York was held
for the purpose of considering
the details of the program.
The director of the project is
George d. Strayer of Columbia
University. He will be assisted
by a staff of a dozen men, includ-
ing William G. BagIey, r. ].
Leonard, and N. l.. Engelhardt
of Columbia, Arthur d. Wright
of Dartmouth College; and AL
bert s. Cook, superintendent of
the Maryland schools.
Mr.. Knight will direct the
study of the rural schools and
will make recommendations
concerning consolidation and the
training of teachers. He will do
the field work in Florida during
January and February.

A Week for Cleaning
HOusehoIders are Asked to Cooperate
in Putting Village in Order

Next week, November IA To
19, is designated as cleanup
and fire-prevention week in
Chapel Hill. This is a joint en-
terprise of the civics department
of the Community Club and the
town government.
Thousands of visitors are COM
ing to Chapel Hill for the foot
ball game on Thanksgiving day,
and so this is regarded as a par
ticularly appropriate time for
putting everything in order. All
citizens are asked to give their
cooperation.
The town truck will go
through the eastern part of the
village in the first half of the
week-Monday, Tuesday, and
Wednesday-and through the
western part Thursday, Friday,
and Saturday. Every house
holder is requested to have all
trash and rubbish ready for the
truck.
Mrs. j. E. Lear is chairman of
the Community Clubs civics de-
partment, and she is being as

Night Vandal LOps Tree
Person Unknown" Cuts off Branches
of Elm in Front of Store

Without any authority from
the town government, somebody
has Topped off the upper
branches of the elm tree in front
of Berman's store. The attack
on the tree was made at night,
or very early in the morning be-
fore the village was astir, for the
mutilation was first observed by
the people who passed along the
street before breakfast-time a
few days ago
The surreptitious looping was
remarked upon at the meeting
of the board of aldermen Monday
evening. When somebody asked
about it, Town Manager Knox
said it had been done by "a per-
son or persons unknown"
This is one of the trees which
the aldermen were petitioned,
but refused, to remove.

Children's Book Exhibit
viii BE Held at the School Wednesday
and Thursday Afternoons

An exhibit of children's books
will be held at the school We'd
nesday and Thursday afternoons
of next week. Wednesday is for
the first, second, and third
grades, Thursday for the other
elementary grades. The exhibit
will open at 2:30, on each of the
two days, with a dramatic pro
gram by the children.
The special purpose of the ext-
hibit is to give parents the OPP
portunity to examine books suit
able for boys and girls below
high school age. Heretofore the
library service at the school has
been almost entirely for the ben
eft Of the students in the high
school. Miss Sallie B. Marks,
the supervisor Of elementary in
struction, is making an effort to
provide reading material for the
younger children, and next
weeks exhibit may be the first
step toward the establishment of
a permanent juvenile library. A
room on the first floor, to the
left of the main entrance, is
available for the purpose.
Books for the exhibit were
loaned by publishers and book
sellers.

REALTY COMPANY
Is NOW IN HANDS
OF 3 RECEIVERS
Judge Barnhill Appoints M. E.
Hogan, l. w. Pritchard
and w. S. Robertson
AUCTION SALE ON 22ND

The Chapel Hill Insurance and
Realty Company has gone into
the hands of receivers. For
weeks a committee appointed by,
the stockholders worked to try
to pull the company out of it's
difficulties without resorting to
bankruptcy proceedings, but this
proved impossible.
The receivers, appointed by
Judge Barnhill, are M. E. Ho-
gan, |. w. Pritchard, and w. S.
Robertson.
The assets, consisting almost
entirely of real estate in and
around Chapel Hill, are apprais-
ed at $648.000, and the liabil-
tiles, exclusive of outstanding
stock, at 621, 900.
Inc pald-ln stock consists of
$4,000 preferred and $50, 900
common, a total of $4,000.
Therefore if the sales bring in
an amount equal to the apprais-
al, there will be about $27. 900
to apply to the stock, leaving a
loss to stockholders of $52, 300.
Of course the appraisal figures
are only an estimate. The sales
of property may bring a greater
or a smaller amount than $685.
600. In situations of this sort
there is necessarily an element
of great uncertainty. Nobody
can do better than guess at what
bidders are going to offer at an
auction sale. Then, too, the ex-
pense of the receivership enters
into the final accounting.
The first auction sale will be
held Tuesday, November %,

By Louis Graves

Chapel Hill owes its mayor
and aldermen a vote of graft
tude for their action Monday
evening in deciding to protect
the existing trees and to plant
new trees along the business
block on the main street. The
motion was made by r. d. w.
Connor, seconded by P. l.. Burch,
and put to a vote by His Honor
Zeb Council. M. f. Hogan, by
proxy, and B. S. Thompson voted
yes; and G. NJ. Braune, who was
i'll, sent a letter heartily approx
ing the policy of protecting
trees.
W. c. Coker, professor of
botany in the University, made
an admirably clear and concise
statement about planting and
cultivation. The substance of
his opinion is as follows; Be-
cause of the pavement, and of
the impossibility of leaving a
broad stretch of earth between
sidewalk and curb, it is not prac-
ticable to have on the north side
of the street such trees as oaks,
elms, and naples, but there are
species that will flourish if they
have only a small circular space
around them. Such a one is the
copal, or ailantus, or, as it is
more commonly known, "the tree
of heaven" 1t is seen on many
streets in New York City, bios
soming year after year and ap-
parently undiscouraged by the
surrounding asphalt. 1t grows
rapidly. is we'll shaped, and gives
a good shade. Another possi-
bility is the mimosa; this species
is already seen on other blocks
of the street, for example in
front of the Kluttz and the A.
H. Patterson homes.
Mr.. Coker emphasized the
need of protecting the trees
from damage and of watering
them regularly. Probably the
