The Chapel Hill weekly., 1958-07-07

The other day as ! walked up Frank
lin Street during the lunch hour it
suddenly dawned on me that Chapel
Hill isn't nine-months a-year town
(as the local merchants used to term
it, any more.
Everywhere there was activity
People crowded the sidewalks, all in a
hurry snorting automobiles clogged
the street, tied in such knot that
the patrolman had to put his Coke on
parked cars trunk and 90 out and
unite it people hustled in and out Of
stores; flower venders did steady
business with the passers-by who sell
dom argued price.
As far up and down the street as
the eye would go, autos crowded the
road and pedestrians moved briskly
along the sidewalks Inside the bank,
the eating places, and the shops there
were buyers, ready and willing to buy
And all the folks were dressed well
Though, in the case of the girls in
shorts, certainly not over dressed) and
looked reasonably happy.
This scene, Of course, might be said
to be typical one on Franklin Street
during the lunch hour for the past 10
or IL years. But with all the GIs re-
turning from WV II to swell the college
rolls, the last decade was one Of hypoed
activity for the University and the
community.
Now, except for the continued cold
war, things may be considered back to
normal around the nation. And yet
the hustle continues here.
There was time, however, when
the saying that Chapel Hill was a nine
months town wasn't quite right
was an eight-months town, and slow
one at that.
Back in the mid 1905 the Univer-
sity faculty and employees had been
cut one-third in salary and man was
lucky to have job Of any kind. was
one of the lucky ones, having a clerk
ing job in the Alfred Williams Station
cry Store which was where Stevens
Shepherd is now operating. My older
brother Fred was manager of the store,
which might possibly have accounted

Residential Areas Invaded

n The residential areas, zoned again
II business, and 50 zoned that no bust
ess or even fraternities may be estab-
mhed there, have been invaded by busi-
n<Ases that are often unattractve.
81 " seems that even though the frat
eruit9 boys were barred from East
FfAnklin Street, and for good reason,
fh6 messy open truck and car fruit and
TSs0etable stores can be placed there,
On the street, to obstruct traffic and
attract flies.
Surely laws established to protect
neighborhoods from deterioration
should not permit the invasion Of such
sub-standard businesses in the resi-
Dental areas.
True enough, owners OF the ped
dlers' trucks pay license fee Of dol
Lar day. But is that any compensation
TO family that must endure having
the disagreeable business at its front
door7 Is this compensation for the
traffic hazard created?
Surely it would make more sense
"a have an attractive business build

ing next door than to have an old car
or truck, with price lists scrawled all
over it and fly-attracting fruits and
vegetables in it, right at the door
step.
The time has come when the Board
Of Aldermen should consider revision
of our town laws 80 that this menace
may be removed from our otherwise
charming village.

Now and Then
BY Bill Prouty

for my good fortune.
In any event, we gotta good chance
to see what was going on down in the
business district in those days, and
some Of it I'll never forget.
There are more automobiles park
ed on the streets here at / / pm. nova
days than there were in the middle Of
summer day back then. The less than
thousand summer school students
hardly had enough money to keep them
selves in school, let alone drive autos
You could stand on the street in
front Of the store and look both ways
and not see dozen people on the
streets. And there wasn't much more
activity on the streets in the winters.
When school let out the first week
in June or the last week in May it was
like staying in a circus tent between
shows. At nights the business dis
trict was graveyard with lights
Sometimes in the afternoons we'd pitch
In 1888, for instance, the Budget
Bureau allocated no money for sum-
mer school here, in keeping with the
States usual reluctance to support the
University. That summer about 800
students registered for the first ses-
sion as against over 1900 the year be-
fore.
Teachers in North and South Caro-
lima had been paid off by the counties
in script, and Summer School Director
n. w Walker said this script could
not be accepted for tuition, according
to an article in the Weekly in June,
1888
University faculty members volun-
teered to teach, taking for their fees
part Of the tuition money and hoping
to get the rest from the State. don't
recall whether they ever got any money
from the State.
Can you imagine how empty Cha
pei Hill would look with only 800 sum-
mer school students? 1t would be about
like having only 1900 students here
this summer. And, of course, there was
no hospital here to bolster the popula-
ton.
SO there you have two extremes:
the depression years, and the post-WW
II boom days, neither of which was nor
NAL times. And now, with the summer
population back to normal and the
hospital and the Division of Public
Health in full swing, the village is a
acknowledgement town, and the mer-
chants are happy.
Having been a merchant here dur
ing the depression, can't blame them
for their elation. | must say, though,
that the slow living back in the mid
1905 had its good points. There were
enough people here to keep you from
becoming lonely, but not enough to
crowd you.

Surely the inventiveness and ingen-
uity of these senior citizens is such
that they can find solution to this
problem in Chapel Hill. Mrs. Sutorius is
making a good beginning.

he felt the District probably
