We paused just for a moment for
all our hopes had scared,
When just as if from Heaven, down
the road there came a Ford.
And that blessed little a carried
Mr.. and Mrs. Young,
And if we live forever, We'll ne'er get
their praises sung
For they came to our assistance in
a manner hale and true,
And in just about a jiffy, our skies
appeared more blue.
Our hearts were more than grateful
and our courage came again,
Then another little Ford arrived with
a girl and two young men.
The five OF them alighted, and the
boys helped us pull,
But still that tire chung to the
rim like a sheep does to its
wool.
At last in desperation we threw the
car in low,
And decided we would drive it till
that tire would let 80.
We bumped 1t over ruts n brush
in a manner far from cool.
But it still was clinging tightly,
tho we all pulled like a mule,
So we drove a long way farther, and
at last it lost it's hold,
And when it slipped from off the
rim, we all felt good as gold.
The sun was sinking in the west
like a lovely sparkling gem,
The afternoon was gone. We left
town at 4 P. NJ
So we urged our benefactors to- go
on, both her and him,
And we would drive quite cautiously
and continue on the rim.
They said that they would tele-
phone to the boys at the A
To take a car and meet us with
a pump along the way;
So they left us and w limped along,
and the driving wasn't nice,
The car could get no traction and
we felt like pigs on ice.
Every time we vent in low the
gravel flew sky high,
The hind wheels spun around and
round and the engine wished
to die.
The road crawled slowly from be-
meath us as we watched each
emerald slope,
For the boys coming with a pump
to meet us-Glorious Hope!
And after fifteen miles another
Franklin shot into sight,
And we welcomed it most heartily

thru the fading light.
The loads were lifted from our hearts
and we even felt quite merry
As in the whizzing rescue car, we
saw both John and Perry.
We planted feet on clutch and
brake, and gave a joyous
shout,
We stopped our car in the middle
of the road, and promptly
tumbled out.
The boys thot it was a joke, but
pumped that tire for US,
And we went home, and went home
quick, for such luck seems to
bore us.

SCHOOL NURSE
PROVES WORTH
DURING YEAR

One of the busiest departments of
the Rawlins Schools during the past
year was that of the school nurse.
During the year Miss Kraft, the
school nurse, was kept exceedingly
busy with the pupils under her juris-
diction and as will be seen from her
report much good was accomplished.
The Carbon county schools have
been exceptionally fortunate during
the past yea in that there have been
no epidemics of any kind among the
pupils.
The report of Miss Kraft covering

Juniors Clean Up

The annual cleanup week
campaign on the campus, a
movement fostered by the Jun
ior class of the University, is
now in action, and according to
a statement by Jeff Fordham,
president of that class, the cam
paign this year is accomplishing
more than ever before.
In brief, the movement is a
campaign against thoughtless-
ness on the part of students who
habitually throw papers and
otherwise litter up the campus,
especially around the various
dormitories, and who walk a
cross the grass. Cooperating
with the Faculty Committee on
Grounds, the Junior class is now
at work to put the campaign
across in manner which will
reflect credit on their thorough
ness.
With High ocnool week, the
annual debating affair, sche-
duled for this week END, and
with visitors from every part
of the State coming to Chapel
Hill for the event, it is most es-
sential, declares President Ford
ham, that the other classes CO.
operate with the Junior Class
in order to make the campus
look it's best.

w. A. White Here
Famous Editor Appears as Lecturer
on We'll Foundation .

William Allen White, editor
of the Emporia, Kansas, Ga
zette, and one of the best-known
newspaper men in the United
States, spent the latter half of
last week in Chapel Hill as the
guest of the University and lee
turer on the We'll foundation.
He spoke three times, Friday
night, Saturday night, and Sun
day night, to the general public,
but he was kept talking pretty
steadily throughout his visit by
various groups who wished to
hear him on one subject or an
other.N
The formal lectures, accord
ing to the terms of the founda-
tion, have to be devoted to some
phase of citizenship. Mr.. White
took for his subject, "Some
Cycles of Cathay," and made
his three lectures a running
comment on the rise and fall of
political enthusiasms in Amer
lea. The first lecture, which was
attended by the teachers of So
cial science in convention here,
was given in Memorial Hall, the
others in Gerard Hall. The
series will be issued in book
form later, by the University of
North Carolina Press.
Mr.. White came to North
Carolina to deliver the We'll lee
lures, but while he was here he
spoke Also at the Greensboro
Open Forum, and in Raleigh,
where he was the guest of jose
phus Daniels.

Mississippi Takes Notes
Governor Whitfield Has Been Garn-
erning Tar Heel Ideas

Attending the Social Service
Research conference on Friday
and Saturday, in session at the
Carolina Inn, was Henry l..
Whitfield, once state superin-
tendent of education in Miss
issippi, later president of the
Mississippi State College for
Women at Columbus, Mississippi
and now governor of that state.
Born near Jackson, Mississippi,
where he has spent the greater
part of his life-there and at
Columbus-Governor Whitfield
claims the distinction of being
the first of a long line of gov
ernors of that state who was
elected on a clean ticket. He
says the women did it, as the
politicians were voting against
him, as were the Vardaman-
Longino outfit.
Governor Whitfield was here
to study social and economic
problems. He says he wants to
take something concrete back to
his native state and put it on a
sound basis. He doesn't like the
pomp and ceremony of being
governor-he likes much better
being the solid citizen that he
undoubtedly is. He likes it in
Chapel Hill as he has relatives
in this state-R. d. w. Connor's
mother was his first cOusin-and
he wants to take some of North
Cardinals up-and-cOmingness,
some of her go-aheaditiveness
back home and use it on his
own state.
Coming up to this conference
he met some pretty nice people
on the train. He was enjoying
the trip very much until some
one passed the word that he was
governor of his state. Then,
he said, the whole atmosphere
changed. 1t was no longer the
jolly friendly banter--they
were talking to a gOvernor-and
it bored him stiff.

Fosters Burned Out
Building and Stock Damaged to the
Extent of $22,5OO

Fire of an undetermined
source originating in the rear
of the building occupied by
Fosters Book Store about 4
o'clock Sunday morning virtu-
ally destroyed the stock of
goods and so damaged the build
ing as to render it useless for
the present. Although the
close proximity of other build
ings presented potential victims
for the blaze, the local fire fight
ing outfit prevented it's spread,
and after two hours work the
flames were brought under con-
troll.
The loss to the operators of
the store in goods destroyed is
estimated at about fifteen
thousand dollars. Insurance in
the amount of eight thousand
dollars was carried. On the
building insurance of seven
thousand five hundred dollars
was carried, which may be suf-
ficient to repair the damage.
Work will be started immedi-
ately to put the building in
shape for occupancy again as
quickly as possible. Fosters
Book Store is occupying tempOr-
ary quarters in the building
next to Pendergraft's bus sta
tion.

Entertainments For the Whites

Mr.. and Mrs. William Allen
White were entertained by DIR.
and Mrs. A. M. Jordan during
their three days stay in Chapel
Hill. A number of dinners were
given in honor of Mr.. White.
Before his first lecture on Fri
day night he was the guest of
honor of the Southern Social
Science Teachers convention at
a dinner in the Carolina Inn.
The dinner was given in the ball
room of the Inn. Special guests
at the dinner besides Mr.. and
Mrs. White were Mr.. and Mrs.

sity of South Carolina and Mrs.

ately after the lecture the Uni
versity faculty gave him a

White went to Raleigh with Mr..
and Mrs. Daniels returning in
time for dinner given for him
by DIR. H. w. Chase Saturday
night before the lecture. After

UNIVERSITY BUYS
PHONE COMPANY
No Immediate Change In Con-
duct of the Business Is Ex-
pected to Follow
A PROTECTIVE MEASURE

The University has bought
the Chapel Hill Telephone Com
pany.
For the present there will be
no change in the actual conduct
of the business. The central
office will remain for several
months where it is now-on
Henderson street near the post
office. Eventually it will be
moved into the former Strowd
garage building, which the Uni
versity is now converting into
a headquarters for it's service
+divisions-water, electricity, and
telephone.
It became known few weeks
ago that certain wealthy out
side interests were considering
the purchase of the telephone
company here. It was feared
by many of the citizens of Chap
,el Hill that this would have bad
results, possibly in the form of
tempt was made to get together
a group who would take over the
property, but this plan failed.
The University's purchase
was made as a protective meas
ure more than for any other
reason. No announcement as to
the method of financing has
been made. The latest report OF
President Chase showed that the
Consolidated Service Plants
(Which embrace Swain Hall, the
Laundry and the dormitories as
well as the electric and water
division) made a profit last
year of $4,000. Perhaps the
answer lies here. The price
paid for the telephone company
is understood to have been be-
tween $4,000 and 100000.

BOrglum Here
Sculptor Holds a Chapel Hill Audi
ence For Two Hours

Gutzon Borglum spoke in
Gerard Hall, Tuesday evening,
March 81 to a crowd that filled
the hall to it's utmost capacity
long before the time set for the
speech to. begin. For two
hours Mr.. Borglum held his au-
dience without appreciable loss,
a thing unprecedented in Chap
ell Hill.
After being introduced by
Professor Bernard as one OF the
ten or eleven greatest Ameri-
can sculptors, and the man
whose brain gave birth to the
Stone Mountain Memorial, the
speaker told a little about his
life and then traced the insplra-
tion which has made it possible
for him to undertake the great
work he is so vitality interested
in. He told something of the
nature of the work, the ideals
back of it, and the difficulties
that have been encountered in
carrying it on.
Mr.. Borglum was brought
here under the auspices of the
Leonidas Polk Chapter of the
United Daughters of the Con-
federacy to explain the Stone
Mountain Memorial from the
view of the sculptor who de-
signed it. A silver offering was
taken at the door by the chill
dren of the Confederacy for the
benefit of the Confederate vet
erans of Orange County, who
profited by more than $50, since
Mr.. Borglum waived his usual
fee.
