For many people in times such as

as probable as that first shot at LeXing-
ton must have seemed one hundred and
eighty-seven years ago, when the Sky
bolt and the Polaris are exchanged like
so many Green Stamps, and the worlds
economic and social problems stagger
comprehension - the mind has a ten
dency to fasten on little things.
1t is as if, unable to move the noun
tain, you carefully cup a grain of earth.
So you see a woman spending her
worry on whether Daughters dress is
too low-out for the Christmas formal, in
stead of worrying about the Berlin Wall.
A man agonizes over whether Junior is
old enough for a % rifle instead of
agonizing over whether the family
should have bomb shelter.
Women mail Christmas cards to friends
instead Of petitions to their Congress-
men, and men study Christmas bills in
stead of the latest proposal from the
Committee on Economic Development.
The young men and women speak their
own language, as they always have, and
live in a world that is foreign to every
thing except youth, but there is no this
might-b the-end-of-all-of-u infection in
their voices. There are serious questions
about Where are we going? and What
are we going to do? But they mean To
whose house? and Shall we dance?

Decision Should Serve AS Warming

Judge Hamilton Hobgood had no SIM
pie task in awarding damages to the
Morgan's Creek landowners who have
fought Duke Power Company's trans
mission line for the better part of two
years. The Judge is no stranger to Chap
ell Hill or the University, and as many
another alumnus, he must have strup-
gled to view any issue that affected
them with anything approaching objec-
tlvity. In awarding $1l9,250 Judge Hob
good trod the line Of impartialty as care
fully as ever man could; to manage
this in trial in which the issues at
stake could receive only tangential men,
tion was feat in itself. Assuming that
Duke Power Co. proceeds with its plans
to construct the line, it must pay dam
ages that approximate lust compen-
sation."
But it was poorly kept secret that
attorneys and landowners were not pri-
marily interested in gouging Duke Pow
er Co. for a maximum number of dollars.
They hoped to make it prohibitively ex-
pensive to run the line through the area
at all; from their standpoint damages
were a last-ditch stand in struggle
against unsightliness. Whether or not
they carried their point depends on
whether $119,250 is too stiff price for

A Public Trust Is A Public Trust

The agreement between two Chapel
Hill automobile dealers and the Town
Board of Aldermen concerning the
screening requirement for cars in stor-
age is, we think, realistic one.
The original Interpretation placed on
the zoning statute that would have re-
quired cars for sale to be screened from
the passing public's view seemed to us
an unfair restraint, and it is to the credit
OF the Aldermen that they readily agreed
to reconsider, even if the reconsidera-
ton did come in the face of an impend-
ing court test.
However, no credit is reflected on the
Town Board by the manner in which
the agreement was ultimately sealed.
The Aldermen reached final agree
ment on the matter at an unscheduled
meeting which also went unannounced
as far as the public was concerned.
The meeting was probably hastily
called and the Town official who should
The Chapel Hill weekly., 1962-12-23

Duke Power to pay for the privilege
of supplying more electric power to the
University.
The case leaves residue of bitterness
and controversy that has yet to be de-
clded, whatever transpires next. The
landowners argued that more was in
volved than their personal interests,
and in this they were emphatically right.
The orderly growth of an area, subject
to unified regulation of that growth, has
been dealt sharp blow in this case, a
blow that could not be successfully di-
verted because it could not be directly
argued. If Chapel Hill is to grow accord
ing to the planning and wishes of its in
habtants, some effective means must be
found to forestall disruption and mega
tion of that planning by external inter-
ests. Had the matter been anticipated
1t might have been possible to reach
reasonable alternative; as it emerged.
there was no effective means of guaran
teeing such an alternative, and eight in
dividuals were left to defend what is un-
deniably the public interest.
Before there is a repetition of this
case, Chapel HilPs government must
take whatever precautions necessary to
fulfill its obligation to act, rather than
shy from responsibility.

me something nice in nylons. l

cause it's cheaper than anything

And | told her not to buy me

She asked the clerk what would
appeal to her husband of 48, and
the clerk said, 1.-TWO girls of

She finally decided on a neck
tie and put her hands around my
neck and squeezed and squeezed
and squeezed, and said, "See.

But you should have seen the
excitement around our house
when we put up the Christmas
tree. The dog almost went era
zy. 1t was the first time he
had had indoor plumbing.
The Christmas spirit is every
where you go. And it rubs off
on you. Only yesterday a Chap
ell Hill traffic cop with a great
big smile on his face wrote me
out a parking ticket.
But soon we'll all be singing
jingle bells, and that's about all
we'll have let to jingle.
The caroling has begun. Out
in Greenwood the carolers stop

cheered. We had hung up the

the sort of operating procedure that
leads to public mistrust of public Of
ficials, however groundless that mis-
trust might be- In this instance, it leads
to the natural assumption that the AL

Town of Chapel HILL
There probably has never been pub
lie servant yet who, after he had time to
warm his seat pretty good, didn't begin
to regard his office with proprietary
air. This isn't necessarily debilitating,
but it can be if the official is allowed
to forget entirely that what he exercises
is a PUBLIC trust.
The Chapel Hill Aldermen apparently
need reminding.
