Woodwork in the Lobby and the Din
ing Room Is Now Being Re-Stippled

The painters have taken pos
session of the lobby and dining
room of the Carolina Inn and
are giving the woodwork a new
coat. 1t is the same color as
before-not a dead white but a
sort of modified, or cloudy,
white.
Stippled is the word. Stippled
means: spotted; shaded or
modelled by means of minute
dots applied with the point of a
brush" A stippled wall gives
the beholder comfortable,
honey feeling. 1t doesn't look
new and doesn't have that for
midable touch-me-not aspect.
Mrs. Hunt is still in command
at the Inn. Her mother, Mrs.
Martin, will be here a day or so
next week but will then return
to Flat Rock to stay several
weeks. Her granddaughter
Miss Barbara Metz, is to be mar
ried there soon.

The contract for the re-

down beyond the bakery, has
been let by the town to Cobb
and HomeWood, the firm Of
which Collier Cobb, Jr., is senior
partner. The amount to be paid,
about 81, 500, does not fall upon
the taxpayers; it is covered by
assessments upon the abutting
property.
Under the terms of the con-
tract the time allowed for the
work is 60 days, but Mr.. Cobb
says he expects to get through
with it in about two weeks.

"We will cut the sidewalk down
to the level specified in the
towns plan and will then pro-

sidewalk. The curb will remain
where it is"
The contract with Cobb and
HomeWood includes the con-
struction of the steps in front
of the bakery and nearby
buildings. The steps are made
necessary by the lowering of the
sidewalk.

The School Opening

The Chapel Hill school opened
Monday. The enrolment in the
high school is 214. The figures
for the elementary grades are
not yet tabulated, but the en-
rollment is around 355.
Two departments which were
abolished three years ago have
been restored-physical training
and music. Miss Minnie Sue
Flynn is getting her physical
training program under way.
Miss Katherine Brown, the
music teacher, had to be operat-
ed on for appendicitis Monday,
and SO music instruction will be
delayed for about two weeks.
w. S. Brookbank is the new
teacher of civics and history.
He is also to serve as athletic
coach and he will soon inaugu-
rate football practice.

He letudTSy WHICH SoeIIfcu
to fall upon the village after the
close of the Summer School did
not last long. Members of the
faculty who had been away
began coming back home, and
new professors came to find
quarters and to orient them
selves; the football squad ar
rived for the preliminary prac-
tice season; self-help students
journeyed hither to scout for
jobs during the forthcoming
college year. And now the
whole place is alive again.
The cool weather of these last
few days has helped to generate
an atmosphere of zest and eager
ness. The drought that had
parched the grass and shrub
berry, and made the trees to
droop, was broken by a rain
Sunday night, and next day
came another shower. The

begins to take on the tints of
autumn.
Tomorrow and Sunday the
vanguard of the student army
some eight or nine hundred
freshmen-will begin to pour in
and distribute themselves among
the dormitories and the rooming
houses. The period known as
Freshman Week will begin Mon
day. The way Henry Johnston,
Jr., the orientation expert,
phrases it, the purpose of the
program is to Facilitate the ad-
justment of the freshman to his
new life and work in the Univer-
sity.' In less academic Ian
guage, it may be said that Dean
Bradshaw, Mr.. Johnston, and
their assistants are going to try
to make the freshmen feel at

NIGHT FOOTBALL
NOT WANTED BY
THE UNIVERSITY
Authorities Have Considered
the Innovation but Have
Decided Against 1t
BETTER SUITED TO CITIES

State College Adopts Night
Football was the headline
stretching half way across the
News and Observers sports
page one day this week. And
there followed the announcement
by Ray R. Sermon, director of
athletics, that all of States foot
ball games in Raleigh this sea-
son, except the one with Duke,
would be played at night.
This news naturally moves
people in Chapel Hill to wonder
if night football will be intro
duced here. The answer is: No.
Questioning reveals that the
University athletic authorities
have considered the innovation
and have decided against it.
Their opinion is that, as far as
the University is concerned, it
is better to have all the playing
done in the afternoon.
There is less reason to intro
duce nighttime athletic spec
tacles in a village community
like this than there is in a city.
For, in a city there is a large
working population which cam
not get off to see games in the
daytime. These people consti-
tute an important potential re-
source; as mining prospectors
would pharse it, a rich vein to
be tapped. Night baseball has
been introduced in several cities
in order to augment attendance,
and midget golf has served to
familiarize great numbers of
people with nigh sport.
Recent advances in the science
of illumination have made pos
sible, on athletic fields, what is
practically the conversion of
night into day. Enormous flood

Episcopal Children to Have Lessons
during Church Services

Henceforth the Episcopal
, Sunday school will be conducted
according to a new plan adopted
by a special committee of church
members.
Beginning day after tomor-
row, parents are to bring their
children to church for the SER
vices. During the hymn before
| the sermon the children will pass
into the parish house to be
taught in regular classes. On
the first Sunday of every month
the school will meet separately
at II A. NJ, in the old church,
for service Of it's own.
"Some Of the advantages of
the plan," say Rev. A. S. Law
renee and Sunday School Super
intendent w. d. Macmillan, in
a notice to the parents, ARE
that the children will learn the
services of the church by taking
part in them, and so the line be-
tween Sunday school and church
should be eliminated; the
children can join with their
parents in worship; classes will
not be closely graded, but the
curriculum will be better
adapted to our needs. This
plan, in line with recent develop
ments in religious education, we
wish to try as an experiment.
1t may need some notifications,
but the committee and the rector
feel that it should have a fair
trial, and they ask, parents to
! give it their hearty support"

so the spectators don't have far
ITO travel. Coach Collins takes
the line men in charge at one
end of the field, while at the

concrete seats, and smoke and
gossip and exchange opinions
about the prospects of the sea-
son.
The auditorium rising on the
site of the old Memorial hall is
one of the objects of interest to
the people who go back and
forth through the campus. The
brick walls are up, ethe steel
framework for both the stage
and the balcony is about COM
pleted, and the steel skeleton of
the roof will be in place and
ready for covering in a few
days.
Down in the rather out-of- the
way corner of the campus to the
north-easily accessible, but out
of-the-way because the center of
traffic and action is around the
South building-the gigantic
pipe organ is being set up in the
new recital nall that forms an
extension of the music building.
Strollers wander in through the
doors, which are kept Hospitality
open, gaze admiringly at the
spacious stage, and observe the
operations of the organ-erecting
experts.
The stores along the main
street, the restaurants, and the
bank are beginning to be crowd
ed again, and, after a rather
more than usually unfruitful
summer, the business COM
munity looks forward cheerfully
to lively commerce in the fall.

Several Chapel Hill families
enjoyed their vacations this sum-

frequented place on the ocean
front in the southeastern corner
of North Carolina, between
Southport and the South Caro-
lima line.
George Lawrence discovered
there a big frame house which
had not been occupied for years
and took a lease on it. He and
his family occupied it for a
while, and others who went
from here were the A. S.
Lawrences, the Murchisons, the
Harrers, the Olives, the
Breckenridges, the Guy John
sons, and Wiley Sanders.
"A fine place for an outing"
is George Lawrence's verdict.
Plenty of good swimming and
fishing. None of the frills and
formalities of the better-knOwn
resorts, but all the essential
comforts. We hope to go back
next year"

N. D. JUDGE FINDS
WIFE SWAPPERS"
NOT GUILTY BY Law

Minot, N. D., June 1O.-North
Dakota's pair of "wife swappers"
whose cases att~actnd uidA-a4+A.4-
ton more than a year ago, today
had been freed of legal entangle-
ments by District Judge C. w.
Buttz of DEVILS Lake.
The couples are Mr.. and Mrs.
Lawrence Hikansrud and Mr.. and
Mrs. Willis Knight, Renville coun-
ty farmers. Judge Buttz' opinion
said that if any punishment is to
be melted out for the unusual trad
ing in mates, it "must be left to
the unfailing penalties of their
eonsciences-those fierce and re-
fined pains and punishments which
conscience alone may inflict."
The original Mr.. and Mrs,
Knight had been married 10 years
and the Rikansruds IL years. They
lived on farms about half mile
apart "a miles northwest of Minot.
AS time passed each woman be-
came enamoured of the others
husband.
Each woman obtained a decree
of divorce on January %, 1929,
each testifying for the other.
The divorce DEGREES forbade re-
marriage for 90 days. Despite
this, the two couples went to Me-
lita, Manitoba, Canada, exchanged
mates in a double wedding cere-
mony, and went back to the farms
with their new husbands. The
mothers kept custody of their owr
children.
The state alleged they had vi.
olated the 9O-day clause in remar
rying and that they were not lie
gally re-wed. In dismissing Grim
inal proceedings, Judge Buttz heit
that they had not violated an!
North Dakota law.

PLANS COMPLETED
P @ W Err PLAN 7

Preliminary plans for the install
lation of the municipal electric
light and power plant in Plenty
wood have been completed and the
City has taken over three lots
situated on Main streets from the
Masonic Temple Association upon
which the plant will be located.
Members of the Council report
increasing interest in the matter
as evidenced by the very favorable
comment being received from all
sides. Recent litigation instituted
against the city, when it was first
proposed to purchase only a small
Diesel engine for pumping city
water and for street lighting, has
served to awaken public interest.
More recent developments empha-
size that it is not necessary for
/ Plentywood to continue paying
substantially higher rates for light
and power than those rates being
paid in other cities and towns
nearby which are now operating
! similar municipal plants.
1t is hoped that construction
may be gotten under way shortly
after the election which will be
held to confirm the contract to be
made whereby generating equip
ment will be purchased to be paiC
for out of earnings of the plant.
