The Chapel Hill weekly., 1958-07-17
| Like Chapel Hill
By Billy Arthur

When the fellows about Chapel Hill start to PLAY
apractcal joke, they give it some thorough planning
For instance, Hap Perry mentioned the other morn
ing that he didn't get his copy of The Weekly and
going to telephone the office.
Don't do that" Darlington Smith suggested "Send
Orvie Campbell collect telegram. He's up at Lin u
vile playing golf with Miles Fitch, Bill Sloan, Vance
Hogan and some others
That was good idea So Hap and Darlington draft
ed the telegram Missed my weakly Weekly. Please
send me one
Then, there the question where they might !
be staying at Linvle After three telephone calls Hap
was finally getting the information:
"Oceola Inn" we overheard him "Oceola Inn
Mmmmm how do you spell it? - Uh huh Like
the Indians do huh? Well that's no help don't know
how the Indians spell it You don't either? Well
I'll ask some of the fellows here. Thanks"
They got it addressed, perfectly worded and
fully labeled collect" then started to phone it in
Just minute" Hap was cautious Suppose Or
vile refuses it. Then Wen have to pay for it,
Il got it," said Carrington "You give the message
to Claudia Cannady, and if Orville refuses it she'll
phone you. And when she does, you just say that's
perfectly all right, and to charge it to your number
1886"
But that's Orvles number
Il know, know, but Claudia won't check it and
she'll charge it to that number and he'll pay for it
anyway"
In unison the fellows declared "Wonderfulr
Ana lney lNed ndppHy through tnat day.
Harold Edwards arrived on the scene bringing glad
tdngs for Norman Armstrong, the tree surgeon:
Norm, I've got good news for you My dog says
nothing will ever take the place of trees"
incidentally, Norm turned II recently and the
fellows in the Coffee Club prepared for him cake
the next day. But he didn't show up that the next
and the following. Five days later he appeared The
cake was set before him, the candles lit and he blew
them out Then he called for knife But Tim Tmmons
wouldn't let him cut it, Tim said he'd given up on
Norm coming in again and had already put it on the
menu that day and couldn't erase it.
Hank Hurlburt then arrived bringing news too
Had my wife down here to Tins for lunch the other
day, ne said, "and she thought it good place to
eat. Funny, isn't it?'
erred herein sometime back reporting that Tim
had acquired and presented initiated mugs to the Cof-
fee Club members Tim is anxious to set the record
straight. Actually, they purchased by Don Bel
ton before he dispossessed the club guess Don was
50 glad to get rid of the club that he turned the cur
to Tim.
And, finally came Paul Lytle in Chapel Hill for a
few days vacation from his bank job in Washington
Apparently under the influence of fellow residents in
the capital city, Paul had both hands out But all he
got from US a shake He was lucky it wasn't a
s,shakedown.
