WHAT CAN BE DONE TO AWAKEN
A GREATER INTEREST IN EDUCA-
TON AND MISSION
(By Mrs. Eretta Welch)

"
Mistress of ceremonies, honorable pas
tor, co-workers, laborers in the vine
yard of the Master:
There comes to me as I mediate and
commune with the Lord our Saviour,
my subject What can be done to a
waken a greater interest in Education
and Mission"
l. We want to render service to the
Master for all the ways thou has bene-
flied to US. Read 116 Psalm II verse
Sing and pray and help bring the lost
ones to the fold,
Preparation and time have come to
be considered in some instances the
thorn in the flesh of teachers, now at
their post of duties, should not be as
hamed in discussion for the benefit of
beginners.
Faculty meeting should become a
serious challenge to the wide principal
It is his or her time to investigate.
Short business meetings should be held
in order to handle big discipline pro-
blems.
So far as Mission, we can adopt
new plan for our unsaved children.
We can band ourselves together as one
strong force, in agreeing to fast and
pray, not only for our own, but for one
another's children, on a certain day Of
the week. Must make ourselves re-
sponsible Christian leadership. Must
make ourselves of the complete use
of the entire organization of the Chris
tian church. Courageously and effec-
lively.
am crime, I am literature I am art,
full of lust when life presents me- Yet,
that is not what God expects of me. It
is fine to be educated I say again you
must be born of the spirit. Help us to
help each other Lord A good many #
us say, I would 60 to church, but hav-
emit any money. The poets say IF you
cannot give a thousand you can give a
widows mite, the least you do for Jes-
us, will be precious in his sight"
To be a Christian we must be Christ
like. All Christians are missionaries
This reminds me of the times when the
Pilgrims We're wandering from place
to place purifying their religion. Go
into hiwavs and hed-es, lift up the boy
or girl who has fallen by the way-side
The practice of bootleggers, dissertation
Of the Sabbath The hands that shed
innocent blood must cleanse before the
aim is accomplished. Again, the poet
sevs eff you cannot cross the ocean and
the heather land explore, you can find
the heathern nearer, you can help them
at your door"
Dear God, as Missionaries, must say
way back in the beginning of time we
hear Thee say-"Let there be light"
may we ever walk in the devine light
of Thy love, rejecting as we walk Thy
love helping others to see and follow
Thee, not afar off as did one of Thy
followers, but even near enough to
touch the hem of Thy garment.

Classifying Collection
Library Workers Are Arranging Data
Obtained by RouIhac Hamilton

Three persons are now engaged n
sorting and arranging the mass Of
books, pamphlets, magazines, new
papers, letters, and diaries which com
pose he Southern Historical Collcc-
tion in the University Library
The greater part Of his collection
has been obtained by j G. de Roulhac
Hamilton in his travels through the
South In boxes, bales, bundles, and
bags the material has arrived in
Chapel Hill to be deposited in the
basement Of the library; until now the
lack Of funds has prevented its being
classified and made available for use.
The work Of arrangement is made
possible by an allotment from the
Government relief funds administered
by the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration. The data may be consulted
by students as soon as it is cata-
logued The cataloguing will be a
long job; there are 100000 pieces Of
printed and written matter, and more
pieces are coming in all the time; but
parts Of the collection may be used
while other parts are still being cata-
logued.
Another project which the Library
is able TO carry forward through aid
from the R.F.C. is the preparation of
an extensive photography Of Southern
Americana. Eventually this bibliog-
raphy will list many thousand items
relating to every aspect of Southern
history and literature.

Firemen's Trip to Pittsboro Arouses Interest

The Chapel Hill firemen took the
fire engine over to Pittsboro Monday
afternoon in a response TO call Of
distress, and stayed there about three
hours. During this period Chapel Hill
was without fire protection, except
that the Durham company was ready
TO answer a call from here. 1t takes
at least 25 minutes for a Durham en-
gine 10 reach a fire in Chapel Hill,
and in that time a house can burn
down.
A few years ago the Kenfield home
out on the Pittsboro road was burned
TO the ground because the Chapel Hill
company would not 60 beyond the
corporate limits Of the town.
Citizens Of Chapel Hill are asking
this Question:
why should we send our fremen
with our only fire engine TO another
town, many miles away, when we
won't send them to save a home just
a few hundred yards beyond our own

Young Sandy Graham Makes a Re-
markable Record in School

Alexander Fl. Graham. Jr.. of
HillsbOro, who, like his father,
the lieutenant governor, is
known as Sandy, completed the
high school course at the age of
IA. With an average grade of
"a, he was vaIedictorian of his
class. There has not been an
other such brilliant scholar in
the Hillsboro school within the
memory of the oldest teacher.
He is too young to enter the
University, and his parents are
going to send him to the Wood
berr Forest school for a year.
Young Sandy became fifteen
this month, soon after his grad
uation. He was born in the sum
mer of 1918 not long before his
father sailed for France with the
S1St (Wildcat) Division. His
father saw him at the age of
two months and didn't see him
again until he was about a year
old. Lieutenant Graham had
become Captain Graham in the
interval, but that meant moth
ing to young Sandy. A double
shoulder-bar was no more than
a single one to him; it shone
brightly and was something TO
grab at, and that was enough.

rangements.
Business concerns. each of
which paid a fee for the privi-
lege, selected young women as
their entries. The money from
these fees and from the sale of
admission tickets was split up
between the promoter and the
Legion post in proportions
agreed upon.
When the curtain rose in
Memorial hall last Friday eve
lining, the master of ceremonies,
The promoters representative,
marched to the front and said :
Il will now read the names of
the merchants who are sponsor
ing the young women who APP
pear in the pageant
There was a hum Of disap-
proval. The spectators had been
deVoting a large part of the
three quarters Of an hour since
,S O'Clock to the reading of the
list Of merchants and now knew
it pretty nearly by heart.
We've read 'em already go
ahead with the show some
body shouted. This was ap-
plauded, and the master of cere-
monies, much to the relief of
everybody in the hall, reluctant
Nv consented not to read the list.
Then the master of ceremonies
said that he would introduce the
Judges. Tie beckoned to three
men on the front row, and they
came up on the platform on the
stage and faced the crowd. They

R.F.C. May Make Loan to Aid College Students

The United States Governments Re-
construction Finance Corporation may
provide $l5,O00,OOO for loans to stu
dents who will be unable to remain in
universities and colleges throughout
the country unless they can obtain
financial aid.
Felix Crisette, who was on the
American Alumni Councils committee
which conferred recently with Jesse
Jones, the chief, and other officers Of
the REC, said yesterday that they
had expressed themselves as sympa-
thetic with the plan.
"The RF.C. does not make loans
TO individuals" said Mr.. Grisette,
"and Of course it doesn't make loans
without security. The only feasible
scheme seems to be to form a credit
union. The counsel for the R.F.C.
told US it was legal for 1t to lend to
credit unions. We are studying the
problem in order to find out il credit
union with student members can be
formed, with the notes made by the

STILL SOME HOPE
THATTHE HESCHOOL
MAY BE RESCUED
Commission May Revise Ruling
Which Forbids This Town
to Be a Special Unit
GRAHAM EXPECTED TO AID

Members of the Chapel Hill
school board, having recovered a
little from their detection at the
rullhg OF the State School CON-
mission last week, seem TO have
some nope that the Commission
may yet be persuaded to let the
people mere vote on the question
OF Suppiementlng the neagre
tuna allowed by the state 10
thelr school.
The ruling that struck a blow
at the school here was that
community must have a school
population Of 1900. instead Of
the 1000 set down IN the new
law, in order to be constituted
a special administrative unit
and to vote TO tax itself for a
supplement-.

limits ?"
When the call came from Pittsboro
Monday the firemen asked Town Man
a&er Caldwell il they should respond.
Mr.. Caldwell consulted r. l.. Burch,
chairman Of the aldermen's public
safety committee! and Mr.. Burch
authorized the company to go.
1t is customary for one community
to go to another's aid in case Of a
serious fre, but it is obviously dam
gerous for a town Of the size of
Chapel Hill, which has only one en-
gine, to send it away and thereby
leave it's own citizens unprotected.
The people who live out beyond
the corporate limits do not pay town
taxes, and, unless they arrange to con-
tribute to the support Of the fire COM
pany, they cannot reasonably expect
fire protection from the town. Even
so, they have as good reason to expect
it as citizens Of other towns, who also
do not pay taxes in Chapel Hill.

Appeals on Valuations
Total Reductions Granded by Board
Amount 10 about 50 900

The Orange county commits
sl0nerS were in session all day
Monday in HiIlsboro to hear APP
peals on the tax valuations Of
real estate. Altogether, there
were appeals from 54 property
owners for reductions.
In most Of the eases we voted
to keep the figures as they
were said Commissioner Carl
Durham on his return to Chapel
Hill THE total reductions
granted amount to around
$4,000. The majority Of the
owners Who made successful APP
pealS were persons who lived
outside Of the county and who
were not informed as to the
proper basis of valuation"
At the end Of the session of
the legislature the commission
ers decided upon a horizontal re-
duction of 25 per cent in all real
estate valuations.

Miss Dannell Patterson the Winner
In Long and Tedious Beauty Show

Miss Dannell Patterson was
the winner in the beauty show
held by the Chapel Hill post of
the American Legion last Fri
day evening in Memorial hall.
She thereby becomes Miss
Orange County" and is entitled
to represent the county in the
beauty competition at the Le-
gion's state convention at
Wrightsville Beach.
The show in Memorial Hall
netted the post $109 for its ac-
tivities in relief of World War
veterans in distress. Everybody
is glad of that, but the Legion
naires who arranged the affair
Judge L. j. Phipps, Obie Har-
mon, and otherS-have had to
undergo some severe raZZing for
the manner in which it was con-
Quoted.
1t was scheduled to begin at
8 O'Clock. The large crowd wait
ed and waited, and read the pro-
gram, and gossiped, and read the
program again, and yaWned. All
they saw when they looked to-
ward the stage was the vast eX-
panse of asbestos curtain. At
last, at about 8:45, the curtain
went up.
The show was conducted by
a professional promoter who
worked on share plan with the

cr had persuaded the state de

Scorching Weather
Mr.. Ray, in Special Report, Givei
Record of High Temperatures

A special report prepared for the
UeehiV by Charles f. Ray, Jr., who
conducts the United States Weather
Bureau here, covers the first 20 days
in June. It shows that the official
thermometer registered tempera-
ture of 100 on the 9th, l02 on the
10Th, 80 on the 9Th, and temperatures
ranging from 90 to 98 on nine other
days.
A curious freak Of weather brought
the village a cold spell on the l4th.
That is, it seemed cold in comparison
with what had gone before The mer-
curry went down to a minimum Of 81
on the 14th, AZ on the 18th, and 40
on the 10th; but the column Of maxi
mum temperatures shows that even
on these three days the mercury went
up to 81, rs, and SO.
Altogether, the June weather has
been hell-hot And the rainfall has
been exceptionally small--less than
one sixth Of an inch in 20 days, COM
pared with June average of 4.46
inches.
"The highest June temperature on
record in Chapel HILL" says Mr.. Ray,
sis 1O4 degrees, observed some time
prior TO 1921. The maximum OBJ
served since that time was 10l in 1929,
which is now beaten by the figure Of
1902 on the goth Of this month. The
lowest temperature ever officially re-
corded in Chapel Hill in June is Al
degrees"
