MARTINDALE HAS
FLYING FIELD ON
EDGE OF VILLAGE
Will Rent to AviatOrs Tract
Which He Bought from
H. H. Williams
STRETCH 5000 FEET LONG


Chapel Hill now has a real
aviation field. 1t is on a plateau
about mile north of the village
on the left of the old Hillsboro
road.
An aviator is already there
with his plane. There is talk of
the establishment of an air mail
route from Wilmington by way
of Raleigh to Greensboro, and
it may be arranged for Chapel
Hill. Of course, there is no GER
tainty about this, but a good
many people in the village are
saying that it won't be long now
until mail planes are flying all
about the state.
The landing field is the prop
erty of Charles Martindale, the
contractor. 1t embraces so acres
which Mr.. Martindale bought
from H. H. Williams at a price
said to be around $2,500. The
owner will rent it for the use of
air planes. He is planning to
erect a hangar within the next
week or so.
This tract was selected from
among several which had been
considered. because of the good
approach for planes and because
it was already flat. A few
small trees had to be cleared a.
way, but Mr.. Martindale has had
to do very little grading. There
is straight run Of 5000 feet
(about three-fifths of mile).
At present the aviator is liv-
ing in a tent ON the field. Later
he will probably have sleeping
quarters in the hangar.
His plane has a wing spread of
forty feet and has comfortable
accommodations for passengers.

Lindsay Place Sold
Chi Psi Fraternity Gets Property on
Cameron Avenue

Mrs. c. l.. Lindsay has sold
her Cameron avenue home
known to a former generation as
the Dave McCauley place-to
the Chi Psi. This fraternity has
just re-established a chapter
here.
Four members of the faculty
w. ID. Toy, w. C. Coker, r. E.
Coker and George Coffin Taylor
were already Chi Psis, and
they assisted a local fraternity
in getting a charter from the
national organization. w. c.
Coker was active in negotiating
the purchase. 1t is understood
that the price was around
$4,000.
The house is one of the oldest
in the village. 1t was built long
before the Civil War by John
ston Jones, a physician well
known throughout North Caro-
lima, and after the war was ac-
quired by Mr.. McCauley. He be-
queathed it to his daughter, Mrs.
c. L. Lindsay.
The lot has a frontage of 800
feet on the avenue and runs back
800 feet along Ransom street.
The fraternity may possibly
sell off part of it.

a dinner party Sunday. The
guests were his brothers, Cap

Pritchard; his nephew, DR.. w.

Mr.. Pritchard told me in the
drugstore this week that he was
much sprightlier than he had
been at so, and asked him why.
Taking care of myself he
said. give quit drinking coffee
and eating meat" He eats fish
sometimes, and now and then a
bit of lamb; but nothing of beef
except gravy, and no hog meat
at all. When | asked him if
whisky figured in his menu, he
said he hadn't taken a drink in
80 years.
Mr.. Pritchard saw his first
football game last Thanksgiving
day when he was beguiled into
the Kenan Stadium by his
daughters insistence that he
ought to hear the speeches of the
governors of North Carolina and
Virginia; but he has yet to at
tend his first movie show.
He was born in Orange county
and has lived in it all his life.
He moved from the country into

Gardens Invaded

An automobile came into Carl
Durham's garden last Saturday
night, and several mules into
Mrs. John NJ. Booker's garden at
dawn yesterday morning.
Mr.. Durham heard loud
roaring and churning at about
half past eight and went out to
find a car in the midst of his
vegetables. 1t bore a Georgia
license tag, and the driver gave
signs of being somewhat intoxi-
Gated. He struggled with athe
steering wheel and the gears,
swerving this way and that and
with every movement adding to
the wreck of the vegetables.

the work of weeks ruined; and

jerkily: "Just tryin' to get out

Mr.. Durham told him to go
forward over a row of peas onto
the highway. But he refused.
Il couldn't bear to run over
those pretty peas" he protested
plaintively. So he kept churn-
ing in the soft earth, destroying
far more than the peas. He was
so contrite, and offered so many
heartfelt apologies, that Mr..
Durham's anger melted into
pity and amusement. At last a
violent application of gas sent
the car bounding out of the gar
den and back to the paved high
way which runs along the Dur

and suggested that he might do
well to reduce a little, whereat
his several chins and his belly

Knight weighs 21O pounds; the
pounds are well distributed be-

Ohio State Journal: "The big

his setting-up exercises every

Short Cut to Raleigh Is Nearly
Ready; a New Route to Graham

other way from Chapel Hill-to-
ward Graham ?'' the commission
er was asked.
I'VE have come to the definite
@cision, he replied, ito follow
a new course straight to White
Cross from the end of the pave
ment at the Carrboro school.
thereby eliminating the the bend by
way of Caivander. This saves
one and six-tenths miles and will
cost little if any more than to
use the present road. Our engi-
neers find that the natural
grades are favorable, and there
are more people living on this
route than on the other. The
contract for this piece of con-
structlon will be let in August.
AT the other end, for a mile
from the Alamance line to Cane
Creek, the contract has already
been let to Nello Teer. The lob
includes the building of the Cane
Greek bridge. Here, too, there
is a completely new route, pass
ing to the north of Bethlehem
church.
THE work on the mid-section,
between Cane Creek and White
Cross, will be done by the high
way commission forces. This is
not new construction. We fol-
low the old road which was taken
over from Orange county and
put on the state map last year,
except where we eliminate a
few curves. The distance from
the Carrboro school to the Ala
nance line, when we have the
new route completed, will be 11.9
miles,"
The road from Chapel Hill to
Graham, like the one to Nelson,
will have a soil surface for a
year or so. When this district
receives another allotment of
state. highway money, a year or
so hence, both will be hard-sur-
faced and will constitute an al
tentative east-west route for
through traffic, relieving No. 10,
the so-called Central Highway,
between Nelson and Graham.

John Sprunt Hill, highway
commissioner for this district,
said yesterday that he expected
the new road from here to Mel
son-the short cut to Raleigh
to be open for traffic in Septem-
ber. The contract for the con-
struction of the new stretch be-
tween White Cross and Carr
boro, about a miles long, which
is a section of the road from
Chapel Hill to Graham, will be
let in August.
Between Chapel Hill and Mel
son." said Mr.. Hill, "the grad
ing contractor is we'll on toward
the end of his job. He ought to
be through in about a month
well, we'll say by the first of
August anyway. Then the high
way commissions own forces
will begin on the surfacing and
they should have the road in use
by September. They will use
| the best local material available
including gravel from the pit
near Chapel Hill.
"Of course this will be tenn
porary and will give place later
to a hard surface. Our expert
ence has proved that it is much
better to let new roads settle be-
fore hard-surfacing is attempt
ed. The soil surface on this 49,
mile stretch, however, will ac-
commodate, traffic through the
winter-certainly in all except
the very worst weather-and in
perhaps another year we will
put down hard-oil top of the
sort that has given good service
on many other state highways.
Mr.. Hill said that he had never
known of any other road project
which had aroused so much in
terest as this one. every men,
ber of. the supreme court has
asked me, in the last month or
so, when this road will be open
for traffic. People are always
asking me about it." Over the
new route the distance between
Chapel Hill to Raleigh will be on
ly 30 miles, Ian easy hours ride.

on the lawn of his home on East

in the shade Of one of the oaks,
and here, all during the after
noon, the carcass Of the pig lay
on a grating and roasted. Foy
sat by and looked on lovingly,
and the passersby on the street,
seeing him and knowing his rep
utation, knew there was to be
high feeding. And in truth it
was a superb feast--a triumph
Of the barbecuing art. There
were Brunswick stew and corn
