Banks Say
Business
At Peak
This Area Not
So Sensitive
To Depression

The bankers of Chapel Hill
have indicated that not only is
the community not feeling the re-
ceSsion but that business is at
an all-time high. They back their
statements with the facts.
The Bank of Chapel Hill de-
cIared $l.50 per share semi-an-
nual dividend this June. the first
time in history that much is be-
ing paid. said j Temple Cob
bel, cashier The bank is sixty
years old this year. Ii was estab-
liShed in 1898. getting its charter
by an act OF the legislature.
o. Gordon Perry, cashier and
vice president OF the University
National Bank. had similar tidlngS
about business in this vicinity
Our bank pays a two per cent
interest compounded quadrannual-
Iy and, as was done last winter
a 50-cents seml-annuai dividenC
was declared in June and PAID
the first OF this month. Business
has been very good, he said
Mr. Gobbel drew the picture OF
IA saucer and said that an econo-
mist had explained to him that
the recession lfad been like going
down the wall 0l saucer and
then staying at low even level
like that OF the bottom OF saucer
Now we are on the climb up the
far side of the saucer, the econo-
mist had said Because Chapel Hill
has an economy largely geared
to salaries fixed by the legislature,
this area did not 90 down into
that saucer.
Both bank officials said that
the loan situation is good and
that 1858 will probably prove to be
one OF the best years OF opera
ton
The deposits are gratifying
and the loan situation is increas
ingly good" said Mr. Gobbel.
The deposits, he said. have been
steady and business generally has
been on par or better than that
Of 1857.
The stock of the Bank OF Chapel
Hill has a par value OF $40 per
share and a book value OF $84
Since the University National
Bank was established only a few
years ago, il Is probably more
sensitive to business fluctuations
and yet il was able to declare a
semi annual dividend for the sec
ond time Par value of its stock
is SIS.

J. ].

Franklin Street came alive
the other day when two bus
loads of foreign high school
students hit town. They
were on a tour of the y. ).
Propelled by waves of en-
thusiasm, they invaded the
business section chatterlng
like macawS. If there was a
store front or show window
that didn't excite them you
couldn't tell it. Starting at
Kemp's Record Shop and
the Intimate Bookshop, they
boiled westward up the
street, exclaiming as they
came.
What S tore interested
them most? Somebody
might guess Danziger' s,
with its arrays of confec-
tions and gifts from all over
the world. Or maybe the
Robbins Fashion Center
show windows, filled with
beVies Of mannequins in the
latest American creations.
It wasn't 50 with the
members Of one group we
saw. The store they liked
~,est was Vernon Lacock s
shoe repair shop. 1t was its
name that got them.
"Oh, look at that" a
British girl exclaimed to her
companions, who were from
several OF h er countries.
Here's where we learn two
new American words"
With cries Of delight,
they stopped in front of the
shoe shop and gazed at the
IA
big square gold letters that
spelled out it's name on the
window.
"I'm not going to run the
risk of forgetting this" the
British girl said as she took
out a notebook. She opened
it to a blank page and IN

ed IN the multiple applicants"
category: that is. some students
apply for admission to several

be accepted al more than one In

Boston Bans
 Rock m Roll Jam Sessions

BOSTON, R - Boston today banned rock m roll jam sessions from public auditoriums after IS persons were injured in the af- termath of such a jam session at the Boston arena.
 Mayor John B. Hynes told a reporter "those so-called rock m roll musical programs are a disgrace and must be stopped. As far as I'm concerned Boston has seen the last of them"
 The mayor also said that nine times out of 10 the promoters of rock m roll sessions do not hire enough policemen to take care of the crowds that attend and thus are not entitled to licenses.
 Police reported that gangs of teen-agers left the arena after the jam session and attacked, robbed and molested passersby in the south end, where the arena is lOCdJSu.
 Albert Raggiani, 19, a Navy man suffered several stab wounds on the chest as he left the arena with two girls.
 Brown said unrest developed when police ordered the dimmed house lights turned on at the arena after fans began dancing in the darkened tisles.
 Alan Freed, New York disc jockey and master of ceremonies at the event, apologized for the bright lights, Brown said, and told the audience of about 5000: Tt looks like the police in Boston don't want you kids to have a good time"

Man Killed, Girl Friend Captured After Crime Spree

GOLD BEACH, Ore, R nm A pretty 16-year-old girl-sad but also relieved that police had shot down her gunman boy friend was in jail here today accused of helping him kidnap five men.
 Dorothy Louise Decker of Reno, Nevada, was captured by police at the Southern Oregon town of Carpenterville Saturday night, after police had killed her cousin companion, Henry Thomas Hill, 36, in a gun battle.
 The shooting at Carpenterville ended a 24-hour crime spree in which a police officer was. kid mapped and robbed and four other men were kidnapped, ap- parently to be held as hostages in a desperate attempt to break through roadblocks.
 The girl said she ran away with Hill last month and he had planned a series of robberies. She told reporters that only one was pulled off-a $40 holdup of a service station near Sacramento
 From there they made their way up to Brookings, Ore, where patrolman Pat Sims picked up the pair and was taking them in his car to the Brookings jail when Hill threatened him with a gun and forced him to drive them out of town.
 Two miles north of town, Hill took Sims gun, his money and a little food that was in the car and then Hill and the girl made off into the brush.
 They hid out in a little cabin they found in the woods and there captured at gunpoint four young men who had come to the cabin for a weekend outing.
 Hill forced one of the four to drive the car in an attempt to get through the roadblocks which police had set. up.
 When brought to the jail here, Dorothy said that Hill had threatened to kill her if she tried to leave him. "But I wasn't really afraid of him. I cared quite a lot for him."

Youth Strips and Ties Little Girl In Vacant House

ST. LOUIS, lR) - The fate of youth who left little Kathy Hampton tied and naked in a va cant house without food or water for three days rested today with a juvenile court judge.
 Robert Martin Reich IT,, 15, told police step by step how he gave the pretty blonde tot ride on his bicycle to the ramshackle house 30 blocks from her home, then tore her dress off and tied her up.
 She wriggled free and was found scratched and dirty but otherwise unharmed. She had not been sexually molested.
 Kathy appeared little the worse for the experience but the parents said they wanted her to be thor oughly rested before she returns to school.
 The polite, slightly built boy told officers he was scared" to go back to the house and in tended never to tell where Kathy was.
 T had no reason. just did it." he said.
 Reich is only a shade over 5 feet tall and weighs just 80 pounds. Police said he suffered from rheumatic heart disease and missed a lot of school. He att tends special classes for mental ly retarded children.
 Roberts father, an epileptic, is in mental institution. His mother has remarried.

Statehood Should. Be Put Above Party Politics

< SAN FRANCISCO, R - Mayor George Christopher declared yes terday that the question. of state hood for Alaska and Hawaii should ''be put above party poli- tics" He asked support of the statehood bill from all quar- ter"
 Christopher, a Republican, is a candidate for the U. s. Senate.
 In a statement from his cam paign headquarters today he said:
 If either Alaska or Hawaii were attacked tomorrow, Amer ica would join the conflict at once."
 Since we are so tied up with these responsibilities, it would be constructive to complete the all liance by total statehood as soon as possible these territories are not just base outposts for reasons of protection, but are in fact irrevocably allied economic ally, culturally and physically with the United States.
 "The peoples of these terri tories have earned statehood The difficulties so far have been more political than economic"
 With first one party, then the other, being in power, it has been difficult to reconcile the diff ferences that would bring about statehood"
