Boy Scout Executive Seminar to Meet Here Varied "Program Arranged by Dr. Meyer, Chief of Bureau of . Recreation. r The Forensic Council of the j University of Virginia has made the proposition to the Debate Council of the University of North Carolina that the Tar Heels and Cavaliers stage a radio de bate at Richmond, Virginia about the first of April. Although the matter cannot be definitely set- ; tied until it has been taken up at the next meeting of the De- ' bate Council, it is very probable that the contest will be held if a suitable question can be decided : upon by the two institutions. Last year the Carolina-Virginia debate was held at Chapel Hill. , In ; consideration of this, the De bate Council has been making ar rangements for a return debate at Charlottesville, Virginia.

After more than forty years behind the foot lights the veteran actor retired from the acting stage because of the illness of his wife and fellow-player Miss Julia Marlowe.

He essayed a Shakespearean role, that of Hamlet, some twenty years ago and together with his wife, Miss Mar lowe, became the premier Shakespear ean actor on the American stage. , .With the sudden illness of his wife, Sothern turned to modern plays as vehicles for his dramatic art; but after playing three seasons in various productions, only one of which, Henri Brieux "Accused," he liked, he deter mined this season to forsake the act ing stage for good. !

Others who consider the semi-annual influx of law students from the Dis trict a reflection on the State, believe that the remedy lies in making the examination more difficult and less attractive to those unable to pass the District examination but believe they can pass that given in this State.

One of the most important features of the annual meeting of the North Carolina Conference for Social Ser vice in Raleigh on February 26, 27, and 28, in the opinion of Prof. Frank P. Graham, president will be the re ports of 12 committees comprisinga membership of 100 members who have been actively engaged during the last twelve months in studying problems that most vitally affect the social welfare of the people of the State. ' . 4These committees," Professor Gra ham said today in discussing-plans for the Conference, "have not held perfunctory meetings and written perfunctory letters and then forgot ten about the fact that they were members of the committee until the next meeting was called; they have met regularly and enthusiastically and they have delved deep into many of the problems that the Conference must face at this meeting. Their re ports have been carefully considered and they will present recommenda tions that should provoke lively dis cussions and, in some instances, def inite conclusions." There is a Committee on Industry, with Dr. Dudley D. Carroll as chair man; a Committee on The Child with Mrs. W. B. Waddill, phairman, a Com mittee in Education with Dr. Edgar W. Knight chairman, a Committee on Crime and Law Enforcement with A. W. McAllister chairman, a Committee on Public Health with Dr. Thurman D. Kitchen chairman, a Committee on The Negro with Dr. W. C. Jackson chairman, a Committee on Recreation with W. A. Parker chairman, a Com mittee on Making the State More Beautiful with W. T. Polk chairman, a Committee on Conservation with Col. Joseph Hyde Pratt chairman, a Committee on Libraries with Colonel Hobgood chairman, a Committee on Rural Life with Dr. Carl Taylor chair man, and a Legislative Committee. "North Carolina is . now facing problems which need careful study, enlightened public opinion and ef fective, action," Professor Graham said. "The citizens of the State are just awakening to the fact that it is the business of a democracy to con sider the social welfare of its people. The opportunity of the Conference lies in just this awakening."

Addition of animal production to plant production , is the adjustment needed by North Carolina agriculture, according to Dr. Clarence Poe, editor of the The Progressive Farmer and one of the leaders in the field of agri cultural journalism in the country. Dr. Poe spoke here Monday night before the North Carolina Club of the University. Introduced by Dr. Paul W. Wager as perhaps the best quali fied man in the state to analize agri cultural needs in North Carolina, in line;with the study of North Carolina rural life which the Club is making this year. Dr. Poe drew the largest attendance the Club has had at any meeting this year considerably over 70 interested hearers. "We have had a one-armed system of agriculture and we have got to de velope a two-armed system," Dr. Poe declared. "There are two kinds of production plant and animal. Folks in North Carolina think only of plant production. North Carolina last year was eighth among the states in plant production, and 29th in animal production, averaging hogs, cattle and sheep together. "North Carolina people talk of di versification, which means to them an increase in crops, from one to two if they produce only one crop, or from two to three, and so on. There can be no diversification until you have both plant and animal production." Plant production, he pointed out, means profit on one thing, animal production means profit on plants, animals, and enrichment of soil. He analized the situation with res pect to cost increase. The average price of grain, fruit and cotton is 23 per cent above pre-war , prices, that of meat animals, dairy products and poultry 62 per cent above, and cost of living is up 57 per cent. " . ., America May Become A Godless Country Weatherford Declares That People Are Too Busy for Religion. "In the future America may become a Godless nation because we are too rushed," stated Mr. W. D. Weather ford in a chapel talk Tuesday morn ing. "This may come about not be cause we don't believe in religion, but because everyone is too busy for it. Little by little religion is being driven back by the minor things of life." In his talk which was an explana tion of the conference grounds of the Y. M. C. A. at Blue Ridge near Ashe ville, Mr. Weatherford said that these conferences which are held every sum mer by young college men and wo men are based on three things: the dignity of labor, the value of the in dividual, and the value of religion. It was in explanation of this last point that he made the first statement. "If you come to Blue Ridge," said Mr. Weatherford in conclusion, f "I promise you four things: the best time of your life, a little freedom from the rush of modern life, a new idea of the value of religion, and contact with some of the great characters of the present day, and when one can get all this in one summer he has done pret ty welL" Will Deliver Address At Georgia University President Chase will deliver a me morial address on George Washington at the University of Georgia on Feb ruary 22, itwas announced yesterday by R.
