Federal Money May Be Allotted
For the Improvement OF Streets

total cost would be S2,667. Sub
tract 80 per cent allotted by the
Government. and you get a net
cost of S1,867.
The S1,867 would be assess
ed against the property owners
at 70 cents front foot. There
are q property owners In this
block, and the average frontage
is about 100 feet. The cost for
100 feet would be $40, which
would be paid in 10 years at
$3.50 a year plus the interest on
the unpaid balance.
IF any group of citizens wish
to have their street paved, a pc
tition bearing the signatures Of
a majority of the owners, rep
resenting a majority of the to-
tai frontage, should be present
ed to the board of aldermen. If
they approve it, then the cost
will be assessed against the own
ers. An owner has the option
of paying the assessment all at
once or in ten annual Install
mentS. The aldermen submit
the plan to the public works
board of the state with a re-
quest for Government aid. If
the request is granted, and the
Government pays 80 per cent of
the cost, then 70 per cent of the
total cost of the Improvement
would be assessed against the
owners.
IF Chapel Hill is to avail it
self of any of the federal funds
for street improvements or any
other projects, action should be
started at once, for the Federal
funds may be exhausted or the
offer withdrawn"

p. d. Carter in Russia
Moscow Paper Tells of His Inspec-
tion of Telephone Line

Payson d. Carter, who is now
in the service of the Soviet
Union, has recently been in
specting the telephone line be-
tween Moscow and Leningrad.
(Leningrad is the former st.
PeterSburg). An article in the
M0scoW Daily NeWs, describing
the young American telephone
engineers trip of 420 miles
from Russia's capital to its chief
port, reached his father, II. D.
Carter of Chapel Hill, this week.
Young Carter vas acconlpan-
led by a Soviet engineer, A. A.
Garienov
For the first time in the his
tory of the country" says the
Moscow paper:T material for a
detailed record of the line was
gathered. Every telephone pole
on the way, and there are some
300 of them, was scrutinlZed
with the same care that doctor
in examining pa
tient.
At times the weather was bit
terly cold, and the two engineers
ran into snow at Bologoya. With
steel rods they probed the base
of every pole to determine its
condition below the surface of
the ground. Guy wires were
tapped and tested. The condi-
tion of crOSS-armS was observed.
The clearance of crossing wires
and tree branches was measured.
RepOTlS upon ali aspects Ol the
line were sent to the Scientific
Research Institute of Communi-
cations in Moscow.
"Our greatest hardship was
rain" Mr.. Carter told the writ
er in the NeWS, "but we did not
let it keep us from working but
one day. We averaged about II
hours Of work day, and in that
time we usually covered about

The United States Govern
ment's public works program,
for which provision is made III
the Industrial Recovery Act,
may embrace the improvement
of streets within municipalities.
Mayor John NJ. Foushee has
been inquiring into the possible
effect of this legislation upon
paving projects in Chapel Hill.
Of course nobody knows yet how
much Government money is to
be allotted to North Carolina,
or how it will be used, but the
Mayor thinks there is a good
chance that some part Of the
fund may be available for i'm
provements here.
Il have sought to figure. out
how the plan will operate here.
in case we do get an allotment
from the Government he said
yesterday. Il have used as an
example the stretch of Gin
ghoul road from its intersection
with Glandon drive, near the
Mackie home, to the fork a lit
tie way this side of the A. w.
Hobbs home.
THE length of this stretch is
1900 feet, the width to be paved
25 feet, the total area to be
paved 1888 square yards.
"If we used a Pinch deep as
phaltic paving such as that on
Henderson street by the post-of-
fee the cost would be about rs
cents square yard To this
would be added 5 cents a square
yard for contingencies such as
laboratory analysis for bitumen
content and field inspection.
With this type of paving, the

PART OF STROWD
FARM BECOMES
A HOME COLONY
Four Professors in Economics
Department Have Bought
42-Acre Wooded Tract
IT'S NAMED DAVE WOODS

Four members of the Univer-
sity faculty in the department of
econOmics-W. F. Ferger, r. II.
Sheriff.. J.. B. Woosley, and II.
ID. Wolf-are creating new
residential colony in the eastern
outskirts Of the village Three
of them have already let con-
tracts to W. l.. Jewell of San
ford, and they hoppto move in
to their new homes before
Thanksgiving Day. Mr.. Sher-
rill has not completed his build
ing plans yet, but it is expected
that he will do so within the
next few weeks.
The four professors recently
bought at a foreclosure sale, a
42-acre tract that was part of
the Strowd farm. With a front
age of several hundred feet on
the old Durham road that runs
eastward from the sharp bend
in the highway, little way
down the slope from Carl Dur
hams, it extends south and east,
broadening out, for about half
a mile
Of the two lots that abut upon
the old road, Mr.. Sherril's is the
first on the right as one leaves
the village Beyond it is Mr..
VOLTS. Between these two a
new road has been staked off,
leading southeast. Back in the
woods it forks into two branch
es that will sweep around to
form a circle. Within this cir
Gle are the Ferger and Woosley
lots.
The four lots cover about 6
acres. Each is owned individu-
ally, and the remainder of the
AZ acres is held by the group in
partnership. Several building
lots may be sold later. A strip
along the east, ravine, has
been reserved as park, and the
articles of confederation pro-
vide that it will never be built
upon.
Exce.;t for clearing of about
five acres near the middle, the
tract is heavily wooded. The
forest growth consists mostly of

Farrar Alone on Ocean
He Is Making His Way along Coast
in Little SailbOat

Byng Farrar is sailing a little
boat, all by himself, on the At
lantic ocean. The vessel is about
Ia feet long.
"Where is Byng now?" some
body asked p. C.. Farrar at the
post-office one day this week.
"All | can say is: somewhere
on the ocean," replied the ad-
venturer's father, with a ges-
ture Of the hands that implied
helplessness tinged with mysti-
fication. "The last | heard from

Institute in Progress
Vital Problems Discussed at Meeting
Of Parent Teacher Delegates

The sixth annual Institute of
Parents and Teachers is now in
progress in Chapel Hill. 1t will
end today.
The principal topic of discus
sion has been North Carolina's
new school law.
"This law involves the grave
danger of too much centraliza-
tion," said George Howard in
his address Wednesday. He de-
clared the measure would tend
to kill local initiative and to
throw. the schools into politics.
Mr.. Howard thought that the ef-
fort to make schools uniform
throughout the state might re-
suit in retarding education in
many communities.
J. Henry Highsmith, state
high school inspector, said
that teachers salaries this year
would be "tragically low," but
that it was encouraging to be
assured that the teachers would
at least get what they were
promised.
Another speaker who discus
sed the new law was Guy B.
Phillips, superintendent of the
Greensboro schools.

Chapel Hill Chaf

Now and then a neighbor of
mine comes back to Chapel Hill
grumbling about his vacation.
The mattresses in the hotel were
knotty, Or the promises of cool
weather turned out to be lies, or
the fishing was no good, or the
golf course was OVercrOWded, or
it rained three days out of four.
or the mosquitoes were a plague,
or the food was unpalatable. Of
course all reports are not like
this, but it does seem that vaca-
tioning shows considerable
percentage of disappointment.
Upon reflection, | conclude
that the reason | hear these
gloomy tales is that my associa-
ton is mainly with persons who
no longer possess the enthusiasm
of youth. They have come to
the time of life when they treas
ure physical comfort, and to
them physical comfort is syn
onymous with a certain round
of habits. They fancy they
want to get out of the rut," but
after they have been out of it a
few days they become sensitive
to all sorts of little annoyances.
And they become aware of
bodily WEAKNESS when they en-
gage in unaccustomed activities
like tramping over a mountain
or holding bacon over a campfire
on the end of a forked stick.
Soon they begin to yearn to sit
down on their own front porch
and prop their feet against the
familiar old banister.
Still, this is no argument
against going away in quest of
variety. If a vacation makes
you happy to get back home, and
to stay there another year, it is
we'll worth while.
A friend of mine who came
back from a trip said to me: Il
let my wife do all the driving.
When | drive there are two driv-
ers in the car, but when she
drives there is only one. | much
prefer only one"
