Ten Thousand Club Hijiinx
Is Hilarious Success

From dancing girls to Carrie Ma
ton. from angels to little red dew
lis, the hidden fears and desires
of Ten Thousand club members
proved to be of an amazing variety
when the Junior and Senior men,
berS cast aside their inhibitions for
one evening at least in their hill
ariouS surrealist Hijinx.
Equally amazing was the amount
of talent displayed in the skits,
presented by each section, the Ju-
niors, and the Senior board Of dir
ectors.
Members arrived in costumes
symbolic of their secret fears or
desires and the program had to be
interrupted at intervals for the
shouts of laughter as some new ar
rival appeared in particularly
apt costume.
Mrs. Howard CLARK, general chair
man, to whom much of the credit
for the success of the evening Is
due. presided and set the keynote
in her original dual personality cos
tune, one half of her being gowred
as q sweet unsophisticated young
thing and the other half as de-
cidedly knowing charmer.
Surrealiste posters, whose names,
as Original Sim, my Mother"
etc. bore no relationship to the
meaningless swirl of colors and de-
signs, decorated the walls providing
perfect setting.
History section won the prize for
the most finished skit, presenting
number of famous perSonages,
Cleopatra, Napoleon, George Wash
ington, Rudolph Valentino and
others as they appeared before St.
Peter on the day of judgment, each
being sentenced to a future life
as his or her suppressed desire.
On either side of the stage was
the angel Gabriel and the devil,
ready to seize those belonging to
their respective realms.
Dams Entire section won the award
as the most surrealistic, with its
amusing portrayal of the fight of
Mr.. Gastric Juice with the invaders
of his home, martini cocktails, roast
beef, salad, lobster, champagne,

NYA Youths
Into Private
Employment

Raleigh, March l1.-According to
eports just complied by the Divi-
ion Of Employment OF the National
Youth Administration of North
Carolina and released today, l55
youth workers employed on the
IVA Work Project Program receiv-
ID private employment in indus
ries of this State during the month
4 February.
The report indicates that young
zen were more fortunate in secur-
ng jobs than the young women.
statistics show that 81 male and sc
,emale youths were employed. TIC
offset this margin, however, 81
girls left the NYA program to be-
come wives in addition to those who
entered private employment. Only
two young men found matrimony
to their liking.
Boys engaged in NYA building
construction work lead the list Of
those finding employment. These
numbered ~. Trailing closely to
this group were the young men en-
ployed in woodworking and cabinet
making shops. Thirty-four from
this division were selected by en-
ployers. Among girls projects
clerical experience proved TO be the
greatest boon to private employ
ment. In the capacity Of Clerical
assistants and secretaries, SO girls
fere accepted Tor full-time employ
1,cnt. Seven boys also secured c!cr-
cal positions. From the homemak-
ing and service units, 80 were en-
DlOyed as mattresses, store clerks,
hospital assistants and domestic SER
wants.
During the month of February, tbs
NYA is operating a work program
in practically every county in the
State and is providing l2,2oo boys
and girls with part-time work and
related training which is designed
to fit them vocationally and occupa-
tionally for private jobs in North

GEORGE GLAMACK IS
THREE-SPORT MAN
Played Freshman Football;
Also Played Prep School
Baseball
Ry ORVILLE CAMPBELL

Chapel HILL March 1.-THE Uni
versity of North Cardinals first All
American in basketball, George Gla-
mack, is no slough when ii comes to
other sports.
George is really a three-sports
man, but since his freshman year at
Carolina, when ne also played end
on the football team, basketball has
absorbed all his spare time for ath-
letics.
Up in Allentown, Pa, where he
prepped, George was voted the most
valuable athlete and was top prep
school scorer in the East in basket
ball. He also played end and tackle
on the football team and pitched and
played first base in baseball.
George is extremely modest, even
shy. He didn't believe it when class
mates first informed him he had
made all-American.
Start talking about his record and
he's more than likely to change the
subject. But not before insisting
Coach Bill LANCE and the other play
ers are largely responsible for that
record.
Had it not been for sales talk
by 30 SHEPPARD, Cardinals assistant
athletic director and coach OF
Southern champions himself, Gla-
mack might be at Duke instead OF
Carolina today.
Paying scant attention to the pleas
of schools in the East, George was
determined to come South for his
college career. He visited both Caro-
lima and Duke and was impressed
with both places.
30 Sheppard showed the tall TEL
low around the campus when Gla-
mack came to Carolina and it didn't
take him long to sell the youngster
on the idea Of casting his lot with
the Tar Heels.
AS for Georges record on the bas-
|ketball court-458 points in one sea-
son and 62 in one tournament-that
record will probably fall some Of
these days but it ought to be good
enough to last a while,

Winter Cover
Crop Seed To
Be Available

College Station, Raleigh, March H..
Austrian winter pea and hairy
vetch seed will be available TO North
Carolina farmers in 1910 as grant
of-aid under the Triple-A program,
il was announced today by E. Y.
Floyd, AAA executive officer Of State
College. However, he said thai dee
still is some doubt as to the quantity
of seed which will be available
through this source for winter cover
crops.
To ascertain the demand fer these
seed, the Triple-A officials have re-
quested county and community COM
mittees to make survey OF the sit
uation and report to State College
headquarters by March 81. Austrian
winter peas will cost farmers ap-
proximately cents per pound.
In discussing the problem, Floyd
said: North Carolina has about g.
100000 acres of open cultivated land,
In 1888 about 100000 acres were
covered with winter cover crops, and
in 1888 approximately $4,000 acres
were covered. 1t should be the goal
for the State to have -four times this
acreage in the fall a'nt s'iter Of
I940-41."

Hot Tip Says Paul Grady
VIII Never Actually File
In Gubernatorial Contest
(Continued From Page Oue)


1t was freely predited that this
would be the result Of Gradys re-
ferendum plank and so far these
predictions seem to have been COM
pletely substartiated.
CD There hasn't developed in
the Piedmont and west any mad
rush TO enlist in the Grady army be-
cause he stressed his intention TO
work for reapportionment of the
General Assembly in accordance
with the mandates Of the Constitu-
ton.
1t probably is recalled that Grady
when a Senator, did nothing out
standing in behalf Of reapportion-
ntent-and it is generally being as
sumed that any other successful CUB
ernatorial candidate will do what he
can to make good on his oath t.
support the States Constitution.
Whatever the reason, there has:
been no noticeable response to the
rearportionment st Il I G m ent by
Grady.
Again your Raleigh reporter cau-
tons that this story is factual only
in so far as it reports what is being
currently said in ordinarily inform
ed and reliable quarters. These
same quarters can be Wrong-they
have been before now and will
doubtless be so, again and many
times. But the reports are current
