Eve are already members of
the Chapel Hill community and
II believe that we ought to be
citizens Of Chapel Hill, like the
people who live inside the cor
porate limits.
Chapel Hill has moved into
a new era. Not many years ago
there were just q few scattered
homes beyond the edges of the
town. Now the outlying areas,
what We call the suburbs, are so
built UP that there are said to be
more people living in them than
there are living inside the cor
porate limits.
'It would stimulate interest
in health, in education, in all cur
community affairs, for all Of US
to be citizens together. 1t would
improve the organization Of all
our public services and create a
better community spirit all

The Chapel Hill weekly., 1950-07-14

When he was here from
Washington at the last week
end Congressman Carl T. Dur
ham said that he was heartily in
favor Of the annexation to the
town of Chapel Hill of the area
in which he lives. just beyond
the towns eastern limits.
This is the area which the
aldermen have formally proposed
to take into the town. It en-
braces Davie Circle, Hillcrest,
and both sides of the Durham
highway between the towns
present boundary line and the
one-mile bridge.
Mr.. Durham is the largest
property -owner in the area. Be
sides his home, which is on the
left side of the road as you leave
town, about a hundred yards
from the top Of the hill, he owns
q tract Of land lying back from
the road farther down toward
the creek and also q tract that
extends to the east side of Ten
ney Circle.
THE Chapel Hill community
has spread out SO, beyond the
corporate limits" said Mr.. Dur
ham, that the time has Ger
tainly come for the suburban
areas, the one where / live and
others, to be taken into the
town.
THE mayor and the aldermen
are trying to solve this problem
in the right way. That is, by ne
gotiation. They are giving all the
facts and figures, bearing on the
annexation proposal, to the peo.

Always the Cavalier

"Chivalry is not dead" thought
the woman just past her prime as
she smiled and graciously accepted
the seat in the subway offered her
by man in overalls.
Thank you very much" she
said.
That's quite all right, ma am, "

AS she started to take out her
knitting she noticed that he was
leaning Slightly toward her. She
looked up in time to hear him con-
tinue.

pretty girls, but as you can see,

TOP 10 MEN,:
Rated Outstundinu

More than $500 newspapermen
had been called upon to choose, in
their opinion, the 10 outstanding
men of the world during 1949. At
first blush that would appear to
be a staggering assignment, but
there is no newsman worthy the
name who won't give you an opin-
ion on anything at any time.
THE TEN Outstanding men of
the year." as announced in the
1949 Year News Annual we're:

Dean Acheson, U. S. Secretary Of
state, craftsmanship; DR.. Ralph

than the gentlemen's accomplish

Teachers Helper

INSTEAD Of bringing the teacher
1 an apple every day, little Nick,
the bakers son, gave her a pretzel.
She always thanked him very
much but one day said:
THESE pretzels are very good
but I wish you would tell your
father that they are a little too
salty for me-"
Every day after that the pretzel
prepared on her desk minus the
salt. She began to think that may
be she was putting the boys father
to too much trouble in making
them without salt especially for
her.
II hope your father doesn't 60

these pretzels without SALT" she
said.

COMIC BOOKS:
Get Lost Laugh

There may not be any laughs in
current comic books-as so many
psychologists, psychiatrists, educa-
tors and ministers have charged
But there was certainly more than
an abdominal chuckle for the COM
&c book entrepreneurs, themselves,
in a spectacular responsibility re-
Gently accorded their products.
For, as amazing as it may seem,
the U. S. state department was to
incorporate the comic book tech
nique in its latest bid for the minds
of non-Communist Asiatics.
WITH THEIR THEMES based
on the lives of American heroes.
100000 copies of the picture-series
books had been scheduled for de-
livery early in January.
The books were to be sent to
South Korea, Thailand, French
1ndo-China and Indonesia. The
hope was that through hand-to-
hand circulation information about
the history and background of the
United States would be spread
widely in areas under strong Com
munist pressure but which, as yet,
had not capitulated.
THE SERIES was to include 49,
page books of the lives of George
Washington, Thomas jefferson,
Walt Whitman, Abraham Lincoln,
Andrew Carnegie, Jane Adams,
Thomas A. Edison, and George
Washington Carver.
Libraries and other agencies of
the state departments public af-
fairs division, already on the
scene, would distribute the books
at public showings of American
documentary films and other such
occasions. American libraries op-
crate in all countries where the
books are to be distributed.

Always Are

Smiles were beamed across the
restaurant tables between a man
and a woman almost at opposite
ends of the room. She lost interest
soon, though, and before he could
follow up his initial advantage her
smile had frozen completely.
Turning to man who had
paused beside him to light cigar
the disappointed diner said in
rather resigned tone: women GER
tainly are tickle, aren't they? That
pretty woman over at that table
was flirting with me only few
seconds ago and now she looks as
cold as an iceberg"
Yes agreed the man, my
wife is very unpredictable."

CROP REPORT:
Punitive Plenty

II was an ironical twist that
American farmers, by producing
In 1919 the second largest crop in
all US. history, may have shackled
themselves with broad government
controls for years to come.
The years harvest acreage was
the largest since 1882 when depres-
sion-ridden farmers sought to off
set declining prices by expanding
production.
Except for bad weather during
the growing season in some sec
tons Of the nation, the 1949 crop
total might easily have set new
record. Even so, the harvest was
SO large that the us. department
OF agriculture felt called upon to
invoke production controls Of var
tous kinds to reduce the volume
next year. These controls prob
ably would extend to cotton, pea
nuts, major types of tobacco, rice,
potatoes and soybeans.
The agriculture department said
the huge harvest was the result
Of uniformly large production of
most crops, rather than record
volumes of few Individual ones.
Records were marked up only for
rice, dry beans and peas.
The figures:
Corn, three billion, 1878 million
bushels; livestock feed-grain, 126
million tons; vegetable oil-seeds;
soybeans, flaxseed, peanuts, cot
ton-seed, 1888 million tons; tobac-
CO, two billion pounds; fruit pro-
duction, nine million, 300 thousand
tons.
Yields per acre were above av-
erage for most crops, although
wheat, flaxseed and dry peas were
notable exceptions. Nearly 1853
million tons of the eight grains
were harvested during the year.

PACT DEFENSE:
One Brood Pattern

Probably pointing the way to-
ward general North Atlantic
pact policy, the United States,
Great Britain and Canada have
worked out procedures for prac-
tical1y a complete exchange of in
formation concerning militar
weapons and fighting techniques
each country develops.
THE OFFICIAL announcement
to that effect was a guarded one,
but defense department spokes-
men said the three nations will
pool all data on just about every
thing in the way of conventional
weapons used by their respective
fighting forces and together will
study such advanced weapons as
guided missiles. There was no in
dlcation of the atomic bomb in
this Notwithstanding" DEAL
The goal, according to the an
nouncement, was to make not only
standard weapons interchange
able, but to draw on the incentive
techniques of scientists and the
"operational proce du e S" de-
veloped by military planners.
THE STEP, in any manner of
speaking, was a prudent one if the
democracies are convinced that
among the best avenues of peace
is one that leads to the ultimate
in preparedness.
There is most plausible school
OF thought among international
diplomats, that if a consolidation
OF sufficient strength is mustered
by the western powers, there need
be no fear of World War III, no
matter how much the Russians
might desire one. For whatever
else may be said of Russia's
Stain, he has never been branded
as complete idiot.
After Stain, of course, anything
might happen, for ambitious men
ofttimes let their ambition cloud
their vision to the extent that they
can't see where they are going.
Give such men enough power, and
the war everyone fears might well
be in the making.
