champion with headlocls that
eventually made him appear

Then Stecher suddenly rolled to the
floor as Gardini came to him and
with e lightning movement fastened
his legs around the Italians middle.
1t was the dreaded scissors hold and

George LOgan's Death
Loss of a Man Who Had Won the
Hearts of All Who Knew Him

When George B. Logan died
last week the University and
Chapel Hill lost q man whose
generosity and modesty and al
together lovable nature had won
the hearts of all who knew him,
He was self-effacing to the point
Of shyness, yet his exceptional
charm permeated the whole COM
munity. He was the sort Of man
toward whom a stranger, after
a few moments conversation AZ
cross the library desk, felt a
warmth of affection such as is
commonly accorded only to an
old friend.
He came to the University
four years ago as librarian for
the school of education, and, be-
sides performing the duties of
this post, he was photographer
for graduate students, review
editor for the JOarRdl Of Social
Forces, and editor of manuscript
for the Institute of Social Re-
search. His Liberty IN the Mod
erB World, a humanistic story
Of the struggle for liberty in its
various manifestations, had been
accepted, shortly before his
death, for publication by the
University of North Carolina
Press.
Mr.. Logan was at Princeton in
the class of 1915, and after grad
uating there he served in the
French and Serbian armies. In
1917 he entered the air service
of the American Expeditionary
force and became first lieu
tenant. Before coming to Chap
el Hill he studied in the New
York Library school.
He is survived by Mrs. Logan
and four daughters.

a Speech by Vance
in 1866

At the breakfast table Tues
day l unfoIded the morning
newspaper and saw on the front
page the summary of a statis-
tical report issued by the United
States government. 1t said that
North Carolina led the country
in the growth and manufacture
of tobacco; and that the state
had l don't know how many mil
lion spindles in operation; and
that it ranked second in the
United States in this crop, and
third in another; and so on
through figures reflecting the
vast agricultural and industrial
activity of this state.
On this same day friend
showed me a crumpled and yell
lowed pamphlet which he had
dug out of an old chest. 1t was
an address delivered by Zebulon
B. Vance at the University COM
mencement of 1866 and was en-
titled "The Duties of Defeat"
The newspaper article of
December 20, 1927, and the
speech of June 7, 1866-these
were deeply interesting when
considered in the light of each
other.
Though the destruction is so
widespread and thorough
thus ran one of Vance's SEN
tences-"it should be remem-
bered that there is nothing
which can exceed the recuper-
ative powers of nature when
aided by the industry of man.
These gaping wounds in our
country's bosom are to be heal
ed, these enormous losses Aof
wealth are to be repaired. Here
was a prophets vision-and here
was the fulfillment.

Chickens ON Joy Ride
They Travel on Miss Groves Car, All
UnbeknOwnst to Her

The Groves family, out in
Glandon Forest. have twelve
chickens which live in the ga
rage. A few days ago Miss
Catherine Groves, returning
home, found two hens perched
on the top of the car and real
lied that she had taken part of
the flock on a ride to the village.
But the thought occurred:
perhaps she had started out
with more than two and suffer-
ed a loss on the road? True.
A count showed only eleven
chickens. Later in the day Miss
Ernestine and Mr.. Groves saw
the lost twelfth near the Uni
yersity dormitories. The two
girls went forth in the car and
tried to capture it, Students
looked down from windows and
gave advice but no help. Finally
the hen flew, squawking, into
the door Of a dormitory. Then
two students, who had just
emerged from a building across
the road, joined in the pursuit.
The hen was captured and taken
back to the Groves garage.

COker Has 20 New Pigs
Also 10 New Goats. BOtanist Is Proud
of the Newcomers

w. c. Coker, professor of
botany in the University, has
20 new pigs. They were all born
last week on the farm that con-
,stitutes part of his estate at
the northeast corner of the viii
lage.
But the whole story of the
augmentation of Coker livestock
is not to be told in terms of
pigs. He has ten little new
goats too. They are on what is
commonly known as the goat
farm" about two miles out on
the old Raleigh road.
The botany professor has
been keenly interested in live
stock, this last year or so, and
ne displays great satisfaction
in the health and beauty of the
newcomers.
Anemonella is still a flour
ishing member of the herd of
goats. 1t was her mother,
Anemone, who killed herself in
trying to get out of a barn,
Care was taken to tether Anem-
one at a distance from the win
dow. But the distance was not
quite sufficient; she made q leap
for freedom, and her body hung
outside the window while her
head stayed inside.

WORK BEGINS ON
NEW DORMITORY
It VIII be the Fourth in the
Group on the Edge of
Battles Park
READY NEXT SEPTEMBER

Ground has been broken for
the construction of new Uni
versity dormitory. 1t is expect
ed to be ready for occupancy in
September.
This building will be the
fourth in the group on the edge
of Battles Park, across the Ra-
leigh road from what used to
be the boundary of the campus.
Eventually there is to be a
fifth, closing up the gap at the
eastern end, but money for that
has not yet been provided.
The erection of dormitory
was forced upon the University
trustees by the decision of the
attorney general of the state, a
few months ago, to the effect
that this project, being specified
in the appropriation act, had to
be included in the construction
program. Previously the trus-
tees had voted approval of their
building committees proposal
to put up a classroom building
but not a dormitory.
The building committee met
here this month, threw into the
discard the program agreed up
on last spring, and made out a
new one to conform to the at
torney generals decision. The
classroom building remains on
the docket, since that too was
named in the appropriation act.
Other projects must be abandon
ed or modified. The allotment
of money for roads, drainage,
and the general improvement of
grounds has undergone a big re-
Immediate construction of a
dormitory is possible because it
is not necessary to work out a
new design. The fourth build
ing in the group is simply a
replica Of the other three.

PRICE OF MHKE
RAISED 331-3%
Dairymen Serving Chapel Hill
viii Charge 20 Cents a
Quart after Jan. /
MUCH CRITICISM VOICED

The dairymen serving Chapel ell-
Hill announce an increase in the
price of milk from Is to 20 cents
quart, effective January 1st.
Much complaint aJout the in
crease is heard from household
ers, especially those with chill
dren. On their side, the dairy
men say that the cost of feed
has mounted, that the cost of
COWS has gone up from $50 to
500 in the last year, that all
the costs of production and de-
livery are such that they are
justified in asking a higher
price.
DR.. S. A. Nathan, the towns
health officer, who exercises
supervision over the dairies, was
asked yesterday how the pro-
posed new price compared with
prices elsewhere. He said that
milk sold for 20 cents a quart
in Durham. He is gathering in
formation from some other COM
munities in this section.
DR.. Nathan has been anxious
to increase consumption of milk
in Chapel Hill in order to pro-
mote public health. 1t is not in
his province to determine what
is a feir price, but he fears that
a higher price will mean a lower
consumption and. therefore,
from the standpoint of a health
officer, he regrets that the
dairymen have found it neces-
sary to make the increase.
The output of the Chapel Hill
dairymen early this month was
652 gallons a day. Perhaps half
of this quantity is sold whole
sale-to Swain hall, restaurants,
markets, and grocery stores. If
315 be taken as the number of
gallons a day sold at retail, then
the increase in price of 5 cents
a quart amounts to $63 day
for the village; which means
that buyers of bottled milk in
Chapel Hill will pay $22,995

Going to Be AviatOrs
Lloyd and Noah Will Enter Flying
School in Marshall, Missouri

George A. Noah and Elmer
Lloyd are going to Marshall,
Missouri, on their motorcycles
soon after Christmas to enter
the Marshall Flying School, a
training organization affiliated
with a big airplane manufactur-
ing company. Their purpose is
to become licensed pilots and to
enter commercial aviation as a
permanent career.
s-eaMr. Noah, formerly of Bur-
lington, has been with the Uni
versity of. North Carolina Press
for three years. Mr.. Lloyd, af-
ter graduating from Mars Hill
school in 1924, was a clerk in the
post office here. He resigned
from the postal service this
month,
owe believe commercial avia-
ton offers a good opportunity,
and we intend to fit ourselves to
make good in it" said Mr.. Noah
yesterday. "The school at Mar
shall gives both a ground course
and a flying course. The ground
course qualities a man as an air.
plane mechanic, the flying
course qualities him as a flier.
OF course we want to take both.
Our present plan is to be at
Marshall about three months
and a half"
The schools catalogue makes
the prospect alluring. 1t con-
tains splendid photographs of
airplanes in flight and on the
ground, of groups of students, of
mechanics at work on engines
and propellers. In his intro
duction Derek White, general
manager of the institution, says
that flying is the most perfect
form of travel in the world" and
then tells of the rapid and yet
thorough instruction that he
and his associates give to the
noyices.
