Beard, Blinded, Is Aided by STRANGERS

During all this time | was
practically blind man. In the
airplane and railway stations,
would reach in my pocket and
take out some money, without
knowing how much it was, and
hold it out to the agents and say:
Take whatever l owe YOU
When | bought a meal or tipped
a porter, would do the same
thing, holding out the money
and leaving it to the other man
to decide what to take. When
I got home and gave the money
to my sister to count, I found
had just as much left as if | had
had my normal eyesight.

demonstration Of kindness.
Every stranger / met seemed to
want to take care of me. They
helped me on and off the planes

DISTRESS IN THIS
COUNTY DEMANDS
RELIEF MEASURES
Scores of Families, Their Re-
sources Exhausted, Are in
Urgent Need of Help
LACK FOOD AND CLOTHING

Rising prices for cotton and
tobacco, the boom on the stock
market, and more activity in
manufacturing these develop
ments of the last few weeks may
have created an impression that
the need for the relief of the un-
fortunate is not urgent. If so,
the impression is a false one.
Good times have not returned.
What has happened is that there
has been a turn for the better.
This justifies hope that the
country may be on the road to
recovery, but thus far only
small fraction of the losses suf-
fered since 1929 have been made
up. In every part of the land
unemployment remains a serious
problem.
At the request of the Weekly
the. welfare officer of Orange
county presents the following
review of the situation here.
By George II. Laurence
Since the first of July, 298
families have appealed to the
county superintendent of public
welfare for food. Approximate
ly 200 of these families contain
one or more able bodied men
who could support their families
if they had employment. The
remaining families constitute the
old, the disabled, widows with
children, deserted families, etc.
Most families of the unem-
ployed are of the wage-earning
class and are not farmers. With
in the last few weeks, however,
there has been a noticeable in
crease in appeals from small
farm tenants who cannot secure
credit and whose crops are poor.

Protest to Governor
Tatum and CO-PetitiOners Criticize
500 Called Modern Educators

An address Of protest against
these so-called modern educa-
tors" at state institutions was
made to Governor Gardner yes
terday in Raleigh by l.. A. Ia
tum, retired cotton manufac-
turer of Belmont. Mr.. Tatum
also handed to the Governor a
petition signed by several dozen
citizens of North Carolina.
The chief complaint cited in
the Tatum address and the petit
ton is that Bertrand Russell
was permitted to speak at the
University of North Carolina
and that Langston Hughes, a
Negro, spoke at the University.
Passages from their writings
are quoted, and the petition says
that "the lives and writings of
these two angels of darkness
violate the very decencies of life
and the most sacred things Of
the heart" and that "such unde-
sirables should not be tolerated
at our tax-supported institu-
tiOns of learning"

Grover Beard, dean of the
University pharmacy school, at
tended the pharmaceutical con-
vention in Toronto, Canada,
week before last. AS he was
walking along a street in the
business section of the city, he
felt sudden stinging sensation
in his eyes. Suffering intense
pain and hardly able to see, he
went to an oculist.
The oculist found particles Of
steel imbedded in the eyes. At
ter these were extracted, the
eyes had to be bandaged.
Yesterday Mr.. Beard was tell
ing a friend of the experience.
81 decided | had better leave
the convention and come back
home," he said. 81 boarded an
airpfane about 7 o'clock in the
evening, was in Buffalo 55 min
utes later, took a night train to
Washington, and rode from
Washington in plane that land

ton-Salem airport at about noon.

Our Climate

1t was a bad break for Charles
E. Ray, Jr., who is in COM
mand of the Z. S. Weather Bu-
reau's station here and is acting
chief engineer of the state de-
partment of conservation and
development, that his radio talk
on the North Carolina climate
from the Raleigh broadcasting
headquarters, was scheduled
for Wednesday, August 81. Of
course nobody could foresee,
when the radio program was
laid out, that Wednesday the
31st was going to be the hottest
day North Carolina had known
for forty years.
Naturally, Mr.. Rays talk was
complimentary to the North
Carolina climate, 'and it was dis
concerting for him, when he
walked into the room with the
microphone, to see three or four
men, in the attitude of pallbear-
erS, carrying out of the room
the lifeleSs form of woman
singer who had just collapsed
from the heat. She was not
dead, as it turned out, but she
was dead to the world while Mr..
Ray stood and looked upon her
And all over North Carolina
people were sweltering in the
heat and almost gasping for
breath. | don't know how many
of them were listening to the
broadcast from Raleigh, but it
is fair to assume that Mr.. Ray s
radio audience was anything but
sympathetic toward>a eulogy of
the North Carolina climate.
Probably it is a good thing for
Mr.. Ray that his hearers

The coaches aren't venturing
any predictions. 1t is much 100

Heels face mighty tough sche-
dule. The opening game is with
Wake Forest here September "a,

breviated his honeymoon to come

1t is around 10 o'clock at night.
A Ford sedan turns eastward
from the Pittsboro highway and
winds along an obscure trail to-
ward the stadium. Presently it
comes to a stop in a little open
space where the grass forms a
soft, thick carpet. Two young
men, with folded cots in their
hands, alight from the car; they
unfold the cots, set them up on
the grass, divest themselves of
part of their garments, lie down,
and go to sleep.
They awake early in the morn

clean away all traces of debris.
Before they begin their days

asked them how they happened
to be sleeping out Of doors, and
Mcclure answered:
I'VE got used to it on our trip
out to California this summer.
It's the best sleeping IN the
world. When we came back to
Chapel Hill we asked ourselves
What's the use of being cooped
up in house, with all these
woods around here? We looked
around till we found good
place, and it beats any bedroom
you ever saw. Even in the hot
test weather, there hasn't been
a night when we haven't needed
some sort of covering over us.
We haven't been troubled by
mosquitoes or other insects; II
we were, we could easily hang
nets over the cots. We've about
made up our minds not to sleep
indoors till we're driven in by
real winter weather."

Woman Finds Copperhead in Her Bed

ed one of the fangs. When |
did this, the lower jaw made two
or three gripping movements,
apparently automatically, when
there was flow of large drop
of the rather thick, yellowish
venom. On elevating the oppO-
site fang there was, again, the
motion of the lower jaw with the
accompanying outflow of venom.
apparently the supply of
venom was exhausted by these
efforts, for, upon repeating the
experiment, there was no fur
ther out-pour of venom, al
though the lower jaw repeated
the motions noted before.
In case you have never stud
led the head Of a venomous
snake. am sending you some
of the fangs from the jaw of
this one. You will find a gradu-
T'ated series of three fangs. Only
the largest is mature. The 9TH
erS lie Immediately behind this
one and, in case of loss of this
first one, the next moves into its
place and attains full develop
ment. This sequence of three
fangS is all | have ever found in
a copper-head; but my brother
who has had a considerable ac-
quaintance with rattlers tells
me that they have a sequence of
six or more.
II have run bristles through
the canals in the fangs and, you
will note that the orifce, on the
conveXity, is an appreciable dis
tance from the tip. This worked
to the advantage of the colored
woman, who came to consult me
while | was still abed last Sun
day morning because the orltice,
out of which comes the venom,
did not go beneath her skin.
81 am also sending the bones
from the upper and lower jaws
which have the serrate teeth for
holding captured prey, which are
identical with those found in
non-venomous snakes. The two
tiny, globular objects are the
lenses from its eyes, coagulated
by the heat of the boiling to
which the head was subjected in
order to remove the flesh from
the bones"
The Chapel Hill weekly., 1932-09-09

A Negro woman came to the
home of DR.. R. B. Hayes in
Hillsboro early Sunday morn
ing, and her repeated knocking
on the door aroused the physi-
clan from his bed.
Il found a copperhead in my
bed about two o'clock this morn
ing" she said, land he bit me,
and | want you to see if I'm
pi'zened."
The only wound she displayed
was a tiny prick at the back of
the foot, enough to draw a drop
.of blood. The foot was not
swollen, and DR.. Hayes decided
that a glancing blow had been
struck with only one fang and
that it had not penetrated deep
ly enough to lmplant the venom
beneath the skin.
The woman said that she had
gone to bed early the night be-
fore and had slept until two
o'clock before she knew she had
a serpent for a bedfellow. Then
her foot came into contact with
something soft and squirmy,
and a moment later she felt a
sharp pain as from a pin. This
persuaded her to arise hastily
and investigate. The snake was
discovered and killed.
The report of this incident
came to me from DR.. Hayes as a
result of a message | chanced to
send him. Last year he had
written for me piece about cop
perheads, and when | was mail
ing Mrs. Hayes postcard the
other day | said: Tell your hus-
band to be sure to let me have
any snake news he runs across. ="
| received day before yester-
day a little cylindrical wooden
box, and in the box was a vial.
In the course of the accompany
ing letter DR.. Hayes described
the Walls contents.
After your card came, this
morning, | had the luck to Kill
medium sized copperhead "a
bout two feet long). | managed
to disable him without injury to
the head, which | cut off and ex-
amined at my leisure.
