Old Zete House Burned
Caught Fire from Chimney at about
Noon Last Sunday

The old Zeta Psi fraternity
house, on the edge of the campus
by the Mary Ann Smith build
ing, was burned at about noon,
Sunday.
1t had been occupied by the
Phi Delta Thetas as tenants for
several months. One of the
young men was burning papers
in the fireplace downstairs; the
chimney caught fire; and some
how the blaze got to the wood
in the attic. The fire company
responded promptly, but the
blaze, famed by a stiff breeze,
had gained a big headway before
the streams of water could be
turned on.
Although the lower part of
the house was left standing it
was seriously damaged by water.
The loss, estimated at more than
$4,000, was partly covered by
insurance.
This is the second time the
Phi Delta Thetas have been
burned out. Their own house
was destroyed a year or so ago.
The Zeta Psis moved into their
new home on Cameron avenue
last fall.

Nancy Herds Chickens
DIR. Mangum's Police Dog Comes to
Rescue of George Howe

Gardeners in the east end of
the village have found saviour
in Nancy, the Mangums' police
dog.
Some time ago Nancy got into
the habit Of shepherding Miss
Nellie Roberson's chickens back
to her premises when they stroll
ed into the Mangum garden.
When George Howe was work
ing in his flower garden the 9th
er day he was visited by flock
of the Kennetts' fowls. AS fast
as he chased one squad out of
his way, another squad would
appear from the other direction.
He was in despair when Nancy
and her master drew near.
"I'll get them out of your gar
den," DIR. Mangum offered. He
gave the appropriate command,
and Nancy rounded up the tru-
ants and started them across the
road northward. Being accus-
toned to regard the Robertson
coop as her goal, she was prepar-
ing to drive the chickens
thither. The doctor found it diff
ficult to persuade her that this
particular flock must be left at
the Kennetts'. The distinction,
however, was not important to
Mr.. Howe; Nancy had got the
visitors out of his garden and
that was enough.

Starvation

III the last rev days l have
been engaged in dieting, i. e.,
modified starvation. And not so
very much modified: 1t seems to
me that never before have so
many desirable things to eat
been offered to me. Only last
night | went to the Bookers', and
Mrs. Booker held out to me a
plate 1f1ed with squares of pal
pably delicious fresh home

hour or so before that, in a fra
ternity house, | had been, repeat
edly tortured by the offer of the
most inviting sandwiches and

occasions, but the exercise of

miserable.
Why is it that the things you
like best are the things that are
prohibited when you start in to
reduce your waist line? Sugar,
cream, white bread, Irish pota-
toes, rice-these must be shun-

time | weighed on the Eubanks

hours later, having denied my
self the various foods | most de-
sired, | weighed at the same
place and in the same clothes,
and the dial showed that | had
gained two pounds. This flab-

my resolution. Then | figured
out that | must have consumed

COUNTY PREPARES
COST STATEMENT
Accountant Is Making up the
Preliminary Budget for
Next Fiscal Year
PUBLICATION is REQUIRED

The time is near at hand when
the budget of Orange county for
the next fiscal year tJuly I, 1928
to June 80, 1929 must be pre-
pared. This will be the second
year for which the procedure
laid down in the new county gov
ernment law is followed.
The county accountant must
get, before June /, estimates
from every department. Assem-
bling these, he prepares during
June a tentative budget estimate
which he submits to the board
of commissioners at the first
meeting in July. At that meet
ing the board adopts an appro-
priatiOn resolution for the in
terim between July l and the
adoption of the final budget
measure.
AS soon as possible after the
first meeting in July the county
accountant submits his supple
mentary estimate and publishes
a county financial statement.
According to the law the coun-
ty commissioners must file in the
Office of the clerk before the
fourth Monday in July a budget
estimate for the ensuing year.
This is for public inspection. Al

Harvard Is Not Dead
Dairyman Puzzled as to How Report
Of His Demise Started

Somehow the report went
abroad through the village on
Thursday of last week that T.
r. Harvard, the dairyman, was
dead.
All through the day messages
of coincidence were being sent to
his home. Many of these were
received by Mr.. Harvard him
self. Thursday evening, when
his assistant went into a house
with bottles Of milk, the house
wife would express grief at his
employers death, and the assis-
tant would reply: why he's not
dead-he's sitting out there in
the truck now"
The neyt day friends of the
supposedly departed dairyman
greeted him on the street with
CALCULATIONS of surprise and
pleasure that he was still among
the quick.
Il was pretty sick Wednesday
night said Mr.. Harvard, when.
somebody asked him how it hap
pened that he had been reported
dead, "but | wasn't anywhere
near gone. | don't know how

CEMETERY MAY
EXTEND TO EAST
Agreement. Is Reached between
Faculty's Committee and
Board of Aldermen
3 ALLIED IMPROVEMENTS

If the University trustees
building committee gives it's
sanction at its meeting next
Monday to proposal laid before
the faculty grounds committee
by the aldermen day before yes
terday, the problem of finding a
new cemetery will have reached
a successful solution.
The proposal is to add to the
present cemetery two adjoining
plots the tongue of land to the
east, which forms a sort Of
island separated by three roads
from the surrounding territory,
and the strip between the south
wall and the new state highway.
crossing, a distance of 1900
feet; and the removal of the sew
age disposal plant from Battles
Park.
The University is to stand two
thirds of the cost of widening
and constructing concrete curbs
and cutters, and the town the
other third. The town will take
over the maintenance. The total
cost of this project is estimated
at $1,000.
In the consideration of it's
yielding its land for use as a
cemetery, about four acres in all,
the University is to be relieved
of its contribution of 1900, pre-
viously suggested, toward the re-
moval of the disposal plant. 1t
it still expected that the Gin
ghouls will bear part of the cost
of this latter enterprise. The to-
tai necessary outlay is estimated
at $4,000.
The pipe line now ending at
the plant will be extended down
the valley and byond the park to
the municipal plant in Strowd's
lowgrounds. 1t will be joined by
spur line running down the
hill from the Gimghnlll colony
Thus Battles Park will be-
come again pleasant woodland
retreat. Again will strollers
wander along the brook and
search for wild flowers on the
hillsides. Children will be free
to build their dams, and navi-
gate their miniature boats, and
go a-wading, and fish for min
nows. Perhaps the rustic walks
and bridges, which have gone to
ruin since Kemp P. Battles
death, will be restored.

Two Ladies and a Hat
Miss Noble and Miss Love Take Good
Care of Treasured Felt

Miss Alice Noble and Miss
C0rnelia Love, on their tour of
Virginia, were not aware that
they had brought along any ex-
cess baggage until they reached
Natural Bridge. There, as they
got out of the car, they saw a
mans hat on the floor by the
front seat.
Where did that come from ?"
they asked simultaneously. Miss
Love suggested that it might be
the property of her companiOn's s
father; but Miss Noble repudi-
ated this libel in positive Ian
guage, saying: my father never
had such a hat.
They puzzled over the matter.
They were troubled not only by
the question of ownership, but
by the question of what to do
with the thing. When they stop
ped for the night at a hotel Miss
Love proposed that they present
it to the porter, but happily this
threat was not carried out.
At last the recollection of the
moment of departure from
Chapel Hill popped into Miss
Mobiles mind-the moment when
| mad stepped up to the car in
front of the Kluttz home to bid
them farewell and they had
spread out map to show me
their plan Of travel.
So, knowing now whose the
hat was, they guarded it loyal
ly throughout the weeks trip,
sometimes carrying it in their
hands and braving the inquisi-
tive glances of hotel clerks and
porters. 1t got home safe Sat
urday night and was cordially
welcomed by its owner.

Teachers Pay Cut, but Part
OF the Loss May Be Made up
By a Revision of New Budget

Drastic cuts in the salaries of the
Chapel Hill teachers have been made
by the towns school board in the
preparation of the budget for next
year. In the official letters received
by the teachers it is stated that the
anticipated revenue from all sources
is not sufficient to meet the cost of
running the school on the. present
basis and that therefore reductions
are imperative.
The following cases illustrate the
severity of the reductions; One teach
er has her salary cut from $500 to
81 200; another from 81 800, to 81 200;
another from 81 800 to $1,000; anoth-
er from $1,O80 to $945.
1t was said yesterday by man
conversant with school finances that
an effort was now being made to ar
range certain shifts and adjustments
that would permit the restoration of
part, if not all, of the pay which the
teachers stand to lose under the new
budget
This year there was an operating
deficit of around $4,000. The budget
for next year reflects a determination
to prevent expenses from exceeding
income
Each teacher receives an offer Of
The Chapel Hill weekly. [volume] (Chapel Hill, N.C.) 1923-1972, 1928-05-11

The budget contains an item of
$l050 for the salary of a janitor--
only $3.50 less than the salary Of
some of the most experienced teach
ers and $l05 more than that Of a
teacher who graduated from the Uni
versity last June.
Naturally there is considerable con
cern among the citizens lest the re-
duction in teachers salaries cripple
the school 1t has been hoped that
"some other way around" might be
discovered.
One suggestion is that the Unver-
sity shoulder the item of $4,000 which
is paid by the town as its share of the
salaries of the professors who are
serving on the high school faculty
under the collegiate municipal cooper
ative plan. The opinion is advanced
in some quarters that it would be
proper for the institution to bear
the entire cost of it's training school.
But it appears that the University
hasn't got the money. 1t operates un-
der budget rigidly regulated from
Raleigh, and there has been no pro-
vision for such 2 grant to the school.
Another suggestion, heard here and
there. is that perhaps the "teaehing
