Peace!
CBy Lois Travis

CBy Lois Travis They looked at me with fire red
 eyes And screamed, like thunder from
 the skies, PEACE! PEACE! there is no peace Kneel down slaves to be fleeced. If the butcher won't take you The baker will The candlestick maker Sleeps by his till, All ready to take you The minute you show A bit of your wages, Yeah! I mean dough. The fury of hunger hangs over
 head With ever a grin and smirk, Waiting for the food to disappear So your stomach will quiver and
 jerk.
 The fury of cold rides the fire
 wood in Anc gives not a jot of space. Till the wood is put in red hot
 stove And the lid shuts it up in his face. But worst of them all is the fury
 FEAR Why he seems to thrive in the
 dark And when you are cold and hun
 gry too Why fear will never depart. Again they look with a baleful eye And gibber and smirk while they
 continue to cry Work, Slave, Work to keep us
 from the door. Work, Slave, Work tog keep from getting poor. Peace, Peace, so that's your cry, You'll get that, slave, when you
 die.

FREEDOM CRUSADE NEEDED

Former General Dwight D. Eisenhower, President of Columbia University, leading the Freedom Cru- sade points out that the people in the United States privileged to have many sources of information to check against the other, and to believe what they think happens to be right
 The General points out that individuals have the right to form their opinions according to personal n terpretations of information rather than as slaves to the point of view of their government This, of course important point but nevertheless it would be just we'll for the General and those who work for intel lectual freedom, to conduct crusade to relieve the minds of men from the shackles of organizations to which they belong.
 It is quite the habit for Americans who quick to join anything that sounds right to take their opinions from the ukases delivered by the leaders of the organ izaton This of course stultifies the intellectual proc and makes the man automaton This is true whe- ther the individual follows the decree of political non1ic social historical religious leaders.
 If the mind of is to be free to pursue the discoV cry of truth it must not be tied down by loyalty to any particular organization The intellect must be free to pursue it's study to think it's problem out and to arrive at conclusion based exclusively upon the experience the intelligence and the wisdom of the individual.
 No individual who accepts without question the statement of others deserves to consider himself n tellectuay free individual The the rank and file of humanity become educated to the degree that they think for themselves, upon all questions, the greater the progress of mankind will be.

Highway Contract to Be Let in
Time for Fall and Winter Work;
No Re-alienment Is Planned for
Stretch Uphill from the Creek

Early in the summer it was
hoped that the contract for the
new Chapel Hill Durham high
way would be let in August.
There is still q chance of that,
but the latest word from Raleigh
is that the State Highway Com
mission will probably defer the
letting to October.
In either case, the grading will
begin Immediately after the con-
tract is let and will 90 on dur
ing the fall and winter. Under
normal weather conditions in
this region. clearing and cut-and-
fill work can be done on most
days in November and December
and on considerable proportion
of the days in January, Fehru-
ary, and March.
The map shows the new high
way beginning at Harward's
dairy, two miles from Chapel
Hill. and going in a pretty nearly
straight line to join route 76l
(the branch-line highway to
Duke University at a point half
a mile or so from where 751 con-
meets with the present Chapel
Hill-Durham highway.
At this end. there is to be .
bypass link from Harward's
dairy southwark to q connection
with route 81 near Glen LennOx,
and later a real bypass will be
created by the extension Of this
link to the Pittsboro highway
near the Morgan creek bridge.
Uneasiness has recently been
caused, among the people living
along the stretch Of highway up

apparently been relocating this

Sleeping off a jag has been q

never heard it said, until this
week, that anybody had been
sleeping off a grandson.
When George Coffin Taylor
went over from Chapel Hill to
Durham the other day to visit
his son and daughter-in-law,
DIR. and Mrs. Edmund Taylor,
and their 18-months-old son, he
intended to come back at bed
time. But he found himself
stranded in the family's apart
ment because his automobile key
had been taken away in the
pocket of DR.. Edmund Taylor
when the latter had to answer
an emergency call TO Lincoln
hospital. There was no telling
when the doctor would get back
with the key, so his father had
to become an overnight guest
and the only place for him to
spend the night was in the room
with his grandson.
The next day | found him
asleep, later than he usually
slept, in the room that he was
occupying in Pembroke Recess
home on Rosemary lane. He
awoke when / came in and, by
way of explanation of his being
still in bed, he said that he had
been sleeping off his grandson.
He went on to relate that, the
night before, he had been awak-
ened again and again by a
whimpering sound, and that
every time this happened he had
got up and pulled back over his
grandson the blanket that had
besn kicked loose. Il really en-
