Town Exceeds Blood Bank Quota by 131 Pints;
Volunteer Workers Are Thanked by Wettach

The Red Cross blood bank unit
which was here two days last
week collected 531 pints of blood
from Chapel Hillians and Uni
versity students who wished to
give their blood for American
soldiers wounded in Korea. This
was a fine showing since the
towns assigned quota was 400
pints.
In announcing the results of
the blood program, R. H. Wet
tach, chairman of the Chapel
Hill Red Cross chapter, said:
Three groups deserve special
for the success of the
project. One was the Naval Re-

pups born to Esmeralda at the

brought to the Higgins hard
ware store by Mrs. Hotelling,

whoever might want them. They
so endeared themselves to pas

up rapidly. The other day Mrs.

eny of Esmeralda's, again a lit
ter of eight. And again the pass
ing public was fascinated. The
pups had all been taken away in
an hour after they appeared in

Three Citizens Ask That Their
Homes Be Taken into the Town:
Others Nearby May Follow Suit

J.. P. Harland, Mrs. J. M.
Lear, and Miss Katherine
Jocher; who live Just beyond
Chapel Hills south boundary
line, have sent a letter to the
board of aldermen requesting
that their properties be taken
into the town.
They speak of the number of
properties as four, not three,
because when the letter was
written they expected that ]. P.
Hazard, who lives between Mr..
Harland and Mr.. Jocher, would
be a signer. But he was out of
town and the petitioners could
not get into communication with
him.
"All four houses are attached
to the sewer line and are serv-
iced by the town sewer" they
write. Furthermore. the far
thest of the four houses is less
than 400 feet from one fire-plug
and little more than the same
distance from a second. These
two fire-plugs Cor hydrants) are
the one at University drive and
Pittsboro street and the one at
University drive and Ransom
street. So, fire protection could
be provided for these properties
without the need of installing
additional hydrants."
The petition is to come up be-
fore the aldermen Monday eve
ming. 1t may be that before then
some other residents of the
neighborhood may ask to be in
cluded in the annexation. When
Howard W. Odum, who lives
just beyond the Harlands on the
Pittsboro highway, was asked
by the editor of this paper if he
was interested, he said he
thought he probably would be.
This is the first time I've heard
anything about the petition" he
said. "I'm going to look into the
matter" Miss Jocher is in the
same University building as Mr..
Odum, so, by this time, he has
no doubt obtained information
from her about the proposal.

Hogan Is Still Looking for Steeplejack

Despite the fact that one story

b been published, Postmaster
Hogan is still receiving telephone

is that the flag got
stuck three weeks ago at the top
of the pole and every effort to
lower it has failed.
Mr.. Hogan said that after all
efforts by post Office employees
here had failed, he called the
General Service Administration
in Atlanta for aid. The admins

Chapel Hill Chaf

The two Mrs. Cobbs, senior
and junior, were in when called
at the Collier Cobb, Jr., home
last Friday afternoon. Present
ly Miss Mary Cobb came in. She
had just come from giving up a
pint of hbod for the soldiers in
Korea, and in response to my
questioning she gave me a de-
scription of the scene in the
Graham Memorial where the
BloodmObile unit had set up a
temporary hospital.
The contributors formed in a
long line, like queue at a popu-
lar movie, each awaiting his or
her turn. Among those Miss Cobb
told me she saw were Mayor
Lanier and University Con-
troller William d. Carmichael,
Jr. Some of the blood-givers took
the extraction casually, disdain-
ing the offer of a rest on a cot
for recuperation, while others
looked pale, and tottered, and
seized eagerly the opportunity
to lie down. Miss Cobb said she
had "felt a little faint" after los
ing her pint, but she certainly
looked in tip-top condition when
she joined us.
This same day, Friday, was
also the day for the giving of
blood in other communities, and
when Saturdays New York
Times arrived | learned that the
days yield at Red Cross centers
in New York City was 521 pints.
Here in Chapel Hill it was 531
pints. So it looks as if our vii
lage did pretty well.

Carolina Inn, got a letter last

Trees that had fallen across

the trees into movable pieces,
others cut away mdergrowth,

You may wonder why this
young man in a sailors uniform
is marching with a squad of US.
Army soldiers.
The explanation is that, when
the photograph was taken, Gas
ton S. Baldwin, Jr., of Chapel
Hill, on leave from his ship, the
U.S.S. Mann, and on a visit to
his brother-in-law and sister,
Sergeant and Mrs. F. w. Brad
shaw at Fort Hood, Texas, had
accepted an invitation from the
The Chapel Hill weekly., 1951-02-09

sergeant to go along on a march.
The senior G. S. Baldwin is
one of our town firemen. The
son is a fireman too, but a differ
ent s sort. He holds the Navy
grade of "engineman fireman, "
and his main job on the Mann is
to distill salt sea water into
fresh water. He rejoined his ship
at San Francisco last week and
is probably out on the Pacific
now.
