High School, will become prin-
cipal of Coolidge High School.
The Board of Education. at its
meeting yesterday, took action in
the case of three principalships
all as a result of the transfer OF
the Central High School building
to Cardozo High School. The
board also retired 16 teachers
with long service in the public
schools.

head Coolidge High School settled
speculation which has been abun-
dant since the day the board

shifted to Woodrow Wilson High

in charge of the new personnel
division.
The third action named Mrs.
Elva c. Wells principal of Roose-
welt High School. She has been
serving as acting principal since
last August. and at one time Mr..
Hoover was being considered for
that job.

assigned.

Mad Dog Bites 10 on
A Sunday Afternoon

A black puppy about six
months old ran around on Sun
day afternoon in the northwest
section of the village, where
Negroes live, and bit 10 persons.
The dog was killed; his head
was taken to the Health Depart
ment and laboratory in Raleigh
and the examination showed he
had rabies. DR.. Chrisman, the
veterinarian, who was called to
the scene, told all the bitten per-
sons they should take the Pas
teur treatment ia injections of
serum). Yesterday four of them
had come to the health depart
ment to get the serum. DR.. Gar
vim, the health officer, said he
didn't know whether or not the
others had got the serum else
where.
Several dogs, as we'll as the
10 persons, were bitten. These
have been ordered confined.
DR.. Chrisman will hold a
clinic, for the anti-rabies vac
cination of dogs, from 2 to 4
o'clock tomorrow Saturday
afternoon at the Negro Com
munity Center.

Maurice Kirk a Visitor Here

Maurice H. Kirk, the violinist,
is here on a visit. Mr.. Kirk had
to give up his music last spring
because of a serious operation,
and now he has become a dealer
in antiques in New York. His
business associate, Mrs. c. H.
Heye,, came to Chapel Hill with
him, and they have rooms at
Mrs. l. w. Roses on Rosemary
lane. Under his professional
name of Howard Rattay, Mr..
Kirk played a violin solo for the
first recording ever made by the
Victor Photograph Company. It
was in the company's studio in
Camden, N. j., in the year 1902.
The piece he played was "Medi-

ROtarians Hear a Canadian

Miss Myrtle Cummings of
Newfoundland talked to the Ro-
tary Club Wednesday evening.
She is here for a year in the
University's school of public
health as the holder of a Cana
dian fellowship. Her topic on
this occasion was health insur-
ance. She told how it worked in
Newfoundland. Then she told
the Rotarians something about
Newfoundland - it's beautiful
hills and valleys and rivers and
lakes, and it's abundance of
salmon and trout and other game
fish. Five years ago Miss Cum
mings could not have been called
a Canadian, for then Newfound-
land was a separate dominion.
After the war confederation
made it a part of the Dominion
Of Canada. Before Wednesday
evening many of the Rotarians
thought of Newfoundland (as
many other U. s. citizens no
doubt think of it) as just a stop
ping place for planes plying be-
tween the U. s. and Europe and
as a place that gave it's name to
a handsome breed of dog. Now
they know better.

Tobacco Crop This Year
will Bring to County's
Farmers 16% More Cash
Than 1949 Crop Yielded

The tobacco farmers Of
Orange county got 81, 1923, 1850 for
their l949 crop.
With about Is per cent Of this
years crop harvested, the rev.
enue it will yield is estimated at
from $500, 1000 to $4O0, 900 great
er than last years revenue. Put
it at $3.50, 900. That makes 1879
increase, from $1,923.OOO to
$2,273,eOO.
The increase in revenue will
be due not to a specially heavy
crop but to higher price. The
poundage-that is the word that
tobacco farming experts use for
quantity-is normal. In the to-
bacco markets that have opened
this year the price has averaged
about sc cents a pound, whereas
last year the average price of
Orange county tobacco was 48
cents.
Last year blue mold severely
damaged the young plants before
they were set out in the field, and
a serious shortage existed. This
year practically all the farmers
sprayed their plants with fun
gicide and controlled the blue
mold. The other two serious dis
eases, namely, black shank and
wilt, have spread considerably,
but where farmers used the new
resistant varieties developed by
the Experiment Station the
damage was not over SO.
Orange county has a miniature
Experiment Station ca j. r. Al
lens farm in Cedar Grove town.
ship, where every new variety
of tobacco is planted in adjoin-
ing rows. Farmers have observ-
ed these tests for a number of
years and keep up With the new
est resistant strains.
The outlook for Orange county
farmers other than those who
concentrate on tobacco is also
bright. Both crops and prices
are good.
Many f~>the farmers in the
part of the county near Chapel
Hill are rejoicing over having
had telephones installed in their
homes.

A curious violation of the
law-the use of old abandoned

3-Show Run of
A Shakespeare
Comedy Begins
This Evening

S h a k espear comedy,
Twelfth Night" will open in the
Forest Theatre tonight (Friday)
at 8 80 fora three-day run. This
is the second of the Carolina
Playmakers' summer produc-
tions and, like the first, Born
Yesterday" it is directed by Will
liam MacIlwinen. Tickets are on
sale at Swain hall and Ledbetter
Pickard's, or can be bought at
the gate. There are no reserved
seats, so the first to arrive at the
theatre will have the choice. If
it rains, the performance will be
postponed until the next night ;
but the play will not be held over
unless at least two performances
are ruined by cloudbursts.
The play has been in rehearsal
in the Forest Theatre for almost
a month, and previeW peekers re-
port that this is going to be a
superlative show. The cast was
favored with balmy weather for
practice until last Friday night,
when a terrific thunderstorm
broke. The actors, drenched and
pelted with hail stones the size of
marbles, beat a hasty retreat to
Memorial hall.
But that was only the begin
ming of the damage. At the height
of the storm lightning struck a
tree near the theatre. That tree
and another one that became en-
tangled with its fall landed on
the roof of the mems dressing
room and tore through several
lighting wires. The dressing

Chapel Hill Chaf

A man has to be sick once in
a while to realize how precious
good health is. Not an original
statement surely; it has prob
ably been made thousands of
times. A similar thought, that
is also not new but is appropri-
ately expressed here because of
an event fresh in the memory,
is that you don't appreciate what
electric lights mean to you until
you have to use candles.
One of the suddenest and most
violent storms that the village
has known in a long time broke
at about 8 o'clock last Friday
night. Rain fell in torrents and
thunder doomed. Lightning
flashed, and now and then there
was a vicious crack. 1t was one
of these cracks that provided
me with my present theme.
Over most of the village the
lights stayed on, but those in
our home on Battle lane and
other homes in the neighbor-
hood, and in the three women S
dormitories, all went out be-
cause the nearby transformer
happened to be one of the two
or three in town that were put
out of business.
The lights stayed out about
three hours. We learned later
that couple of trouble-shooters
We're sent out promptly from
the power plant, but there was
more to do than just to repair
the disabled transformer. 1t
turned out that there was a
connecting wire, or switch, or
something, at the power house
that had been rendered null and
void by the storm.
ultimately we had plenty of
eAndIes, and we lighted, them
and scattered them around the
house. Another fortunate thing
was that my weeks work ON. the
