Garbage Is Problem

The collection of garbage is a
problem that is now engaging
the attention of the aldermen.
In the Chapel Hill municipal
vocabulary, garbage includes all
manner of trash, and the amount
of stuff that has to be taken
from business places and homes
has come to be so large that it
puts severe strain upon the
towns facilities.
When the town truck broke
down a few days ago, and had to
be laid off for repairs, many
complaints were received from
citizens.
At their meeting this week
the aldermen decided to inquire
into the practicability of having
the garbage removal done by
contract. They hope to achieve
prompt solution of the prob
lem.

Swim, Devil, Swim!"

Mrs. George B. Logan took
her daughters down to Wrights-
vile Beach last week.
One day, when they were all
fishing from a dock, Georgia,
six years old, leaned out too far
and fell into the water.
did you jump in and pull her
out?' one Of the neighbors asked
the mother after the family re-
turned to Chapel Hill.
81 did not!" replied Mrs. Lo-
gan emphatically. II yelled to
her, Swim, you little devil,
sWimn And she swan, and
climbed up on the dock by her
self"
Georgia's ability to get out of
the sea without aid was the
fruit of Mrs. Logan's enterprise
in building a pool in the yard a
few months ago. Here the
girls learned to swim.

What Florida Said to Tatum
Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce Rebuked Him
AS IAN UnwelcOme Stranger Attempting to
Bring Discredit to Those Among Us
Whom We Love and Respect

At this meeting your letters
and exhibits, referred to above,
were presented. After much
discussion it was decided that
the Board of Directors should
take no action in regard to the
charges made in your letters or
the exhibits attached, nor with
you. We are therefore returning
the exhibits to you with this let
ter
We are not in sympathy with
your propaganda against the
Florida State College for Wom-
en-, DR.. Edward Conradi, and the
faculty of the College. 1t is our
opinion that your propaganda is
distasteful to the vast ma lOrity,
not only to the people of Talla-
hassee, but to those of the State
of Florida, who are at all famil-
lar with it.
1t is profound regret to us
that you, an unWelcome stranger,
should attempt to bring discred-
it to those among us whom we
love and respect. We wish you,
the people of Tallahassee and
Florida, to know that we have
the highest regard, respect and
admiration for DR.. Edward Con-
radi, a man whom we have
known for a number of years as
an excellent Christian gentle
man, Of high ideals and an es-
timable citizen. This Board
feels that Institutions as well as
individuals are best judged by
the products they turn out and
the fruit they bear.
The students and members of
the faculty of the Florida State
College for Women are welcome,
many times welcome, with us.
We believe them to be a body
with ideals and intelligence of
the highest type, and we deplore
the continued attack upon them.
In conclusion, you will kindly
consider this matter closed 50
far as the Chamber of Commerce
is concerned, and you will kindly
favor us no further with cores
pondence relative thereto.

Egret on the Lake

An American egret has been
seen on the University's lake
several times in the last month.
About 40 inches in length, pure
white, with a dagger-like yell
low bill, long black legs, and
snaky neck, this bird is an i'm
pressive figure as it stands
among the smaller white herons.
1t is one of the species which
suffered severely from plume
hunters a generation ago. In
Birds of North Carolina CT. g..
Pearson, c. S. Brimley, and H.
H. Brimley) published in 1919,
the following sentences appear:
"No bird in America has SO
melancholy a history as the
egret. Those of us living today
are witnessing the passing Of
the race, and we doubt serious
ly if a single egret will be alive
in the United States twenty-five
years hence unless the extraOr-
dinary precautions now being
taken for their protection by the
National Association Of Audu-
bon Societies should prove sue
cessful."
These precautions were sue
cessful, and with the passing of
the demand for its feathers the
egret has made a comeback and
is now in no danger of extinc-
tion.-E.P.O

GOVERNMENT AID
TO BE MEASURED
BY LOCAL EFFORT
Morrison, State Director of Re-
lief, Sends Out Notice to
County Officers
APPEALS FOR COOPERATION

The extent to which any
county in North Carolina will
participate in United States gov
ernment relief funds will depend
upon what the people Of that
county have done to solve their
own problem of unemployment
and destitution. Such is the of
ficiai notice that George H. Law
renee, Orange county welfare Of
ficer, has received from Fred
Morrison, state director of re-
lief.
This policy does not originate
with the North Carolina author
tiles. 1t was decided upon in
Washington and applies to the
distribution of relief funds all
over the country. Only a week
or so ago the government turned
down an application from Penn
sylvania because investigation
showed that that state had not
exhausted its own resources for
relief.
A QueStiOnnaire has been for
Warded by the state superln-
tendent of public welfare to the
various agencies in every city
and county in the state, seeking
formal and definite information
as to conditions existing, as to
what local efforts are being made
to take care of the destitute, and
as to the exact details of the
situation which prevails in every
community.
Mr. Lawrence, here in Orange,
anticipated this questionnaire.
Five weeks ago he submitted to
Governor Gardner a comprehen-
sive analysis of the requirements
for relief in this county. He told
what had been done by the coun-
ty government, the Central We'll
fare Committee in Chapel Hill,
the HillsbOrO Relief Committee,
the Kings Daughters, and other

A man named l.. A. Tatum,
described in the dispatches as
"a retired textile manufacturer
of Belmont" came to Raleigh
last week and delivered to the
Governor an address to which he
gave the name, "The nti-Reli-
gious Invasion of Higher Educa-
ton" With it he presented a
petition bearing upon it's cover
page the words, "In Heavens
Name, Governor, Save Our State
from Further Predatory Acts by
These So-Called Modern Educa-
tors against Things of the
Spirit
These lines on the outside Of
the two pamphlets which Ia
tum had ready to hand out to
the newspaper correspondents
reflect fairly enough the tone
and substance of the absurd stuff
Within, and it is no wonder,
therefore, that the response
from the press is condemnation
literally seasoned with ridicule.
No other sort of response could
reasonably be expected in intel
ligent circles. The newspapers
give Tatum a sound spanking.

Alexander Graham of Char
lotte, father Of President Gra-
ham of the University, was S8

He entered the Confederate
Army in 1864, fought in one
battle, and was wounded. In
1866 he entered the University.

zens, wherever he goes he is
greeted affectionately by friends
and former pupils.

Tatum Spanked by the State Press

'If the heads of state-suppOrt-
ed institutions in North Caro-
lima are willing to submit to any
such proposition as is proposed
in the petition submitted by one
l.. A. Tatum," says the Durham
Herald, "they do not deserve to
exist longer and might as we'll
be subjected to the muzzling
process that Mr.. Tatum, along
with two bishops, a respected
newspaper editor, and a number
of well-thought-of business men
advocate The removal from
the University library of books
that the petitioners do not per-
sonally like will not remove the
evil that the aroused brethren
profess to see in the books. We
have read many books that we
thought little Of, and the same
applies to petitions - among
which the petition presented by
Mr.. l.. A. Tatum ranks near
first place."

er will receive a ticket repre-
senting 100 Votes" He puts
his name down on the back of
the ticket and drops it into a
ballot box in the lobby Of the
Carolina theatre Whoever has
the most votes by October ID
will be the winner.
Nobody, however, will get
credit for more than $50 on any
single transaction. For example,
if a man buys an automobile and
makes a payment of $500 on it,
he will receive tickets not for
10000 but for 5000 votes.
Fractions of a dollar will be
disregarded. A cash purchase
or a settlement Of, say, $3.50
will be good for 600 votes.
The committee which will

Moody Durham, and Mayor
Council.

The TRADE launched last week
by l.. A. Tatum against the Uni
versity and the North Carolina
College for Women was not his
first essay in this field of en-
deavor. He tried it in Florida
four years ago, his target then
being the Florida State College
for Women. His accusations
against the President and mem
bers of the faculty were ad-
dressed to Frank d. Moor, Presi-
dent of, the Tallahassee Chamber
of Commerce.
Here is the letter sent to him
by the Board of Directors of the
Chamber Crank d. Moor, r. H.
Gibson, G.. f. Lewis, w. A. Bass,
O. c. Collins, w. 7. Proctor, and
l.. A. McCants).
Mr. l.. A. Tatum,
Tallahassee, Fla.
Dear Sir:
Your two letters of June Goth
and 9th addressed to Mr.. Frank
ID. Moor, President Of the Cham
Der of Commerce, together with
the exhibits attached to the let
ter of the Goth, have been hand
ed to the Board of Directors for
their attention.
At the last regular meeting Of
our Board rheld June Goth one Of
the members of our Chamber of
Commerce came before us in re-
gard to the activities and prOpa-
ganda being directed against the
Florida State College for WOm-
en-, DR.. Conradi, its President,
and other members of the fac
ulty. This party stated that IN
his opinion the Chamber Of Com
merce should take some stand In
regard to the matter The Board
of Directors, after serious con-
sideration decided that it would
be best to call together some of
the influential citizens of Talla-
hassee, who were members of
the Chamber Of Commerce, to
discuss and advise with us. This
was done and meeting was held
on the evening of June 9th.

VILLAGE SHAKES
OFFLETHARGYAS
NEW YEAR BEGINS
Professors and Students Come
Pouring in as Day of College
Opening Draws Near
SLUGGISHNESS DISAPPEARS

There is prevalent notion
that the New Year begins on the
first day of January. 1t may be
so in some places, but Chapel
Hills New Year begins in Sep
tember with the opening of the
University.
A little while ago the village
dozed in the heat. The topper
hung so heavy you could cut it
with a knife. AS you looked up
the main street you saw half
dozen cars parked at the curb,
and perhaps few human beings
propped against the store-fronts
or passing languidly across the
pavement.
Merchants bemoaned the alb
sence of purchasers. Between
maps they would arouse them
selves now and then to rear
range articles on their counters
and in the show-windows, and
then they would return to their
repoSe.
All at once, last week, the
scene was transformed PeO-
pie came pouring into town
members of the faculty return
ing from vacations and from
teaching and studying in insti-
tutions all over the land, foot
ball players assembling in re-
sponse to the call for prelimin-
ary practice, and students ar
ranging for their rooms, look
ing about for jobs to help them
meet their college expenses, and
consulting with professors about
their courses.
Automobiles in ever-increas~
ing number roll up and down
the streets and through the cam
pus; the sidewalks are crowded;
and a waxing trade brings cheer
to the mercantile community. A
Chapel Hill Of sluggishness has
given place to a Chapel Hill of
animation and Zest.
Freshman week, the period in
which the new students receive
the orientation treatment and
are put through series of tests
in several subjects, will begin
Monday; President Graham will
hold reception Tuesday eve
ming; and classroom work will
begin Thursday.

John Van Hecke's Eyes

The eyes Of young John Van
Hecke, son of Mr.. and Mrs. M.
T. Van Hecke, have been cured.
A year ago it was thought that
the infection in the boys eyes,
an unusual and dangerous NAL
ady, might bring about eventual
ly the loss Of his sight. His pa
rents took him to one Of the
country's leading specialists; the
specialist gave them some en-
couragement but not much.
A prescribed program was
followed - certain treatments
and careful regime of rest and
outdoor exercise. Improvement
resulted; on September End Mr..
Van Hecke took John to New
York for final consultation
with the specialist; and they
came home with the verdict that
the boy was cured.
Mr.. Van Hecke's parents and
brother brought him home from
Chicago by automobile late in
August. When they returned
there Mrs. Van Hecke accom-
panied them and visited her
home in Wisconsin. She is COM
ing back to Chapel Hill with the
Hanfts today.

tuberculosis
Task Given to
Health Board

Patients confined to their beds
with tuberculosis, who have been
cared for free of charge by the
Public Health Nursing Associations
service since January, 1881, have
been turned over to the newly-in-
augurated bedside service of the
city board of health.
The service was formerly con-
Quoted by the P. H. N. A. on a cost
basis, due to the tax appropriation
voted in 1925 for the care of per-
sons suffering from tuberculosis.
Since January, 1881, however, the
budget limitations of the city health
board have made payment to the
P. H. N. A. impossible.
Through the newly established
bedside service of the board Of
health, cases of bed-ridden tuber-
culosis, which have been handled
by the P. T. N. A. will be cared
for by the city, while the nursing
association will continue to give a
pay service and also free service
when requested by the family ply
stefan.
Ways and means have been con-
sidered to prevent unnecessary
duplication of the costly service.
The P. H. N. A. will give general
lied service, the same nurse being
trained to give any one of many
services required in her district. In
many cases where large parts of, or
whole families are infected, pro-
vision is made for isolation of the
worst cases, and to prevent others
from developing.
