Reinhardt Has Narrow Escape

As R. A. Reinhardt started to
cross Franklin street near his bakery
shop, Monday morning, he, stopped
to turn and wave to group OF his
friends standing on the sidewalk. In
split second taxi he had seen ap-
preaching swerved In his direction
and the handle Of door caught In
his trousers pocket, ripping out the
front section Of his pants. The cab
screeched to stop as Mr.. Reinhardt
raced toward 1t to retrieve the strate-
gic swatch OF material. More en-
barrassed than frightened, he care
FULLY held the torn trousers together
~ ne hurried back to his shop. Later
at home, after all feelings Of embar-
rassment had subsidized, he reflected
with fear and trembling on his mar
row escape from death or serious in
jury. He estimated the speed OF the
cab at 40 miles an hour.

r ,wn So Grown
It's Bursting
At the Seams

The other day one citizen of
Chapel Hill was heard to say to
another: This towns so crowd
ed it's bursting at the seams. !"
People are saying that, in
various ways, all the time. !.
"You haven't got room enough
to turn around" You're
risking your life every time you
try to cross the street" If
it's this bad now, what will it
be like when they've spent that
twenty million dollars for new
buildings, two or three years
from now?" And so on.
In a talk a month or so ago
about the new hospital, DR..
Berryhill, dean of the medical
school, said that Chapel Hill
would soon be needing another
hotel. He is right. There are
times when the Carolina Inn has
all its rooms taken and has to
turn people away. The village
becomes more and more popular
as a convention center, and when
the members of this or that as
sociation, society. or league pour
in, they fill up the Inn, and often
there is an overflow of delegates
wandering around town in search
of rooms. Housing, in every
classification, continues scarce.
Moving traffic and parking
have created congestion that
grows worse day by day. New
stop-light installations, such as
the one at the post Office, ale
viate conditions a little but do
not give real relief.
The University and the town
authorities - Acting President
Carmichael, Chancellor House,
Dean Fred Weaver Mayor
Lanier, Town Manager Ray,
Chairman Collier Cobb of the
Town Planning Board, and
others-are concerned about the
situation and are trying, singly
and in consultation with one an
other, to work out improve
ments. These gentlemen will give
a glad welcome to any talented
forward-looker who will come Up
with the answer.

Happy Visitors

A football crowd comes in a
hurry and leaves in a still
greater hurry, and between COM
ing and going it is too tense for
the pleasant uses of comrade-
ship. A commencement crowd is
sociable enough, but as it at
tends exercises it gives you
somehow the impression of
being resigned to compulsory
enjoyment, like the man who
said, I'm going down to Bangor
to get drunk and gosh! how |
dread it,"
But the crowd that comes to
see dear old alma mater receive
the gift of a beautiful building
on bright sunny day, and in
preparation for the presentation
ceremony is served with a de-
licious luncheon = that crowd
reaches the real summit of hap
piness. So decided Tuesday

and corridors eff of the Morehead

ing: the architect, Otto R. Eg-
gers. came upon him and his
partner, Daniel P. Higgins, in
conversation with Miss Marie
Thomas, who was consultant on
interior decoration (assisting E.
c. Ewald of w. and J. Sloane) !.
AS | drew near, Mr.. Higgins was
trying to argue her into doing
a decoration job on transat-
lantic steamship, but, for the
moment anyway, he seemed to
be getting not much encourage
ment. She said she didn't think
she would like spending as much
time in New York as the job
would require.
Speaking of interior decora-
tions, the prize one on this oc-
caslon was not attached to a
wall or ceiling but was moving

Chapel Hill Chaf

Robert Moses, developer of
parks in the New York metro
politan area and famous figure
in public life, speaking of New
York City politics at Dartmouth
College the other day, made the
same remark that heard a
Chapel Hill citizen make to
Messrs. Madry and Lanier at the
Town Hall on election day last
week when the two candidates
were quivering in suspense. The
remark was: Il don't see why
anybody should want to be
mayor" Myself, when l reflect
upon the headaches and brick
bats connected with the job l
feel more disposed to congratu-
'Jate Loser Madry than Winner
Lanier. Well, it's a good thing
everybody doesn't feel that way,
else there would be no candidates
and we wouldn't have anybody
to take care of the business of
government.
