Emphasizing the importance of Red Cross work everywhere, Dr. Graham said "In this day when we know from the headlines first hand of the needs and tragedies across continents and oceans, we cannot be callous and unrespon sive without hurt to our own souls. "The Red Cross symbol, the Red Cross blood, the red band of faith and courage in our Ameri can flag, and the red blood of our common humanity are all part, not of the guilt by association, but of the glory of free association and high adventure of free people for the liberty and hope for all people."

' 1 Autumn Semester PTA Asks Referendum i On ABC Stores Here Seeking sources of revenue for the school system's building needs, the Chapel Hill Parent-Teacher Association has voted to ask the county commissioners to call . a county-wide referendum on the establishment of ABC whisky stores in Prange County. The PTA motion, passed at the group's meeting last week, merely asks the commissioner's to hold such an election, but as it was sug gested in connection with potential sources of revenue for much-needed capital outlay money for local schools, an endorsement of ABC stores is thus implied to that ex tent. Ninety percent of all profits from the state-owned whisky stores are supposed to be appro- ment. An ABC store vote in Orange failed in the summer of 1938 in the face of strong rural and northern county voters' opposi- , tion. CAN ORDER VOTE The commissioners have the right to order such an election but if they choose not to do so it may then be mandatorily held on petition to the county board of 15 per cent of the voters in the laxt general election. " It's understood that such a petition is intended in the event ,tion carried by about a 3-2 ma jority following a lively dis hibiting the sale of whisky and the running of pool halls and other concessions within five miles of the University. But in 1941 this act was amended to deleted the section applying to the sale of whisky, so that the age of ant ABC store election wouldn't conflict with this "blue" law The PTA also voted to confer with the University to see if thej $11,000 contribution the latter j makes to the local school system each year might not be increased. and decided to participate in the ' Closer relations between the practice and spends much time taking of a school census along United States and Argentina, "the studying and writing about Amer with the local chapter of the two nations which can hold the ' ican literature, is currently on a AAUW. SUPPORTS REFERENDUM Local School Board Chairman Carl Smith, who's been leading a campaign along with his board tions to the local system, has said Stray Greeks Elect Miss Brown President The Stray Greeks elected the he would certainly support the holding of an election on the ABC store question. He didn't commit himself as to which way he stood on the issue itself, but said "I think it is a source of revenue that the PTA shouldn't pass up in Hts considerations. The people of the county are certainly entitled to vote on it." He added that he felt sure the board would certain ly discuss the matter at its next meeting. 5 Named To Village Offi Chris Waddell, Ellen Hanna, tl0"sf of th ovf nment; , , Charles Ragland, Joanne Earley;t Before the? documents of the and Jesse Butler have been elect- le recorded were often issued ed to fill seats on the 11 member m series with a broad title board of directors of Victory Vil- hich fave lttl or no hmt as to ,lage in the two week election f value of. their content, Miss which ended last Monday.

BUNCH OF SP's Hits Fei By NEIL BASS An invitation for a couple of Student Party leaders to address their fellow politicians Monday re sulted in a lengthy exchange of ideals and hurling of charges by the leaders, Charlie Wolf and David Reid. Wolf kindled the spark which set off the argument by saying that "the Student Party has completely failed in its effort this year to carry out an effective student government, primarily, because we have been torn by an internal struggle for power." Hitting at the leadership of the group, Wolf called it "ineffective and lacking in unity, " ; ' " without an unselfish and keen in terest in the betterment of the student body." Pushing the issue even farther, he described the SP leaders as "a bunch of blabber mouths who are always getting into trouble by shooting off their mouths to The Daily, Tar Heel; thus we are losing the favor of the student body." CALLS CREASY 'POOR EXECUTIVE' "Tom Creasy is a god boy and I am sure that he 'sincerely be lieves' all the measures that he tries to enact, but the fact remains that he has been and is a poor executive." Wolf ended his talk by saying Ed Lipman, Bob Eberle, Patsy that "maybe I'm over-pessimistic, Daniels, Laura Ervin, Davis Mer and all wet, but David will follow! ritt, Lionel King, and Luther me and encourage you with his Hodges, Jr. . bouyant and optimistic views."! Sabiston, in announcing these Wolf instructed the press before 'appointments, stated, "The Uni he began his talk that the views ' versity Party, looking ahead at he would express were his own spring elections and feeling a and did not necessarily reflect the feelings of the party as a whole.

On the question of party unity and the "struggle for power with- in the group "that Wolf referred to, Reid . said - that- ''disagreement-: stimulates thought and prevents stagnation of ideals." Referring to the University Party nominations of last year, he said "how healthy is a party when it takes only 30 seconds to nominate a candidate for the presidency of the student body?"

Dr. Blackwell, director of the UNC Institute for Research in So cial Science, said that "comics, television of ABC stores are not among the important causes of delinquency.
