‘Dr. Charlie’ Dies Suddenly
Of Heart Attack In His Home
Charles David Johnston, 78, then he has reportedly been ap-
I
superintendent of the Elon Chris
tian Orphanage for the past 33
years, died suddenly of a heart at
tack at his home last Sunday.
Familiarly known as “Dr. Char
lie” by his friends, Mr. Johnson
often was referred to as “the be
loved father of more than 600
children,” meaning that he had
been a father to more than 600
children who had lived at the or
phanage.
He became superintendent of
the orphanage in 1916,- and since

in other fields. He always re
fused, showing his devotion to the
children' under his care.
According to his secretary, Mr.
Johnston seemed preoccupied
with thoughts of dying on Satur
day, the day before his death. He
expressed only one wish, she said,
and that was to die in his chair at
his desk.
Mr. Johnston’s literal wish was
not granted; however, all who
know about his untiring interest
in the orphanage will grant that
in spirit he died at his work—with
his children.

als is to be given to old boxhold-

The installation of new boxes,
representing an increase of 305
boxes over the previous number,
is part of a general renovation

tional equipment is still expected,
and a regulation mailbox is to be
placed outside the post office for
night service.
It has been reported unofficial
ly that the sidewalk in front of
the post office is to be extended
two feet and given a curbing.
Mr. Whitesell said, “I appreci
ate the cooperation and patience
of the student body and the com
munity during this change-over.”

Though Westmoreland never
cared for solo work, he says, he
auditioned with Robert Shaw at
Berkshire last summer. Shaw
was selecting an 18-voice mixed
chorus out of 260 aspirants to pre

I consider this one of the rich

ever had,” Westmoreland says.
The young Elon professor
worked intimately with Shaw
throughout the summer. ■ Accept

Shaw, he conducted the chorus at
some of the programs of tlie
Berkshire Center. On week ends
he went with Shaw into New

At press time, reporters had,
been unable to reach Dr. L. E.
Smith for official statements on
the proceedings of the meetings.
Tentative regulations which will
govern the dances are reported to

major dances each year, a spring
and a fall formal. Gowns and tux
edos will be the required dress for
these affairs. Admission will be
by bid only, and one outside per
son will be permitted for each
student wishing to bring off-camp
us guests.
The major dances will be spon
sored by the student body, and
the fall affair will coincide with
the Homecoming activities so that
Alumni may attend. Any band
may be booked for these dances,
which will replace tlie Sopho-
more-Freshman and Senior-Junior
affairs of the past.
Reported new rulings on dances
will include permission to dance
at off-campus functions. Girls
will be allowed 12:30 permission
for off-campus banquets.

enjoyed it. He attended a num

Before and after the war, Moore
has done a good deal of special

Garnett M. Beamer, senior pre
medical student here, is now re
cuperating in a Mt. Airy hospital
from injuries sustained in an au
tomobile accident which ocurred
in Pinnacle Feb. 26. Beamer’s
mother-in-law, Mrs. Annie Louise
Dickson Collins of Mt. Airy, was
killed in the collision and his
wife, Jo, suffered shock.
According to Prof. J. E. Danie-
ley, who visited the Beamers in
Mt. Airy last Monday, tlie accident
seems to have occurred when a
car meeting Beamer suddenly cut
left across Beamer’s lane in order
to enter a side road. Beamer was
driving.
It may be that the Beamers’ dog,
a black Cocker Spaniel named Pat,
saved Mrs. Beamer’s life. They
were returning to Mt. Airy from
a shopping trip in Greensboro,
Danieley said, when Pat insisted
on riding in the front seat. Mrs.
Beamer gave up her seat to the
dog and moved to the back.
When the accident occurred,
both Beamer and Mrs. Beamer
were thrown out of the car. Mrs.
Collins, pinned inside the car, was
badly crushed, and she died 24
hours later in the hospital.
Beamer received severe cuts
about the face, but he is recover
ing fast, Danieley says, and ex
pects to return to Elon next Mon
