Engineering Division Will Stay
At Raleigh Sector of University
Os interest all over the slate is
the news that engineering schools I
at Chapel Hill and State College j
will be consolidated at the Raleigh
unit with gradual elimination of !
enigneering courses at Chapel Hill
except for graduate study. The
change was said to be bitterly op
.
posed by John Sprunt Hill, mem- 1
ber of the board of trustees but
was favored by President Graham,
who feels it is what the people of
the state desire. The Business and
Science School at State College win
be moved to Chapel Hill,
changes will do much to elim
duplication of courses and si
prove economical without lease
effieiceney.
Poliomyelitis

in the state. Northampton. B*
and Craven counties in the
have reported cases and in
west they have been found in C

five deaths have been reported fi

Wake has led all counties with

which is always a factor in con

For two weeks I’ve tried to find
who came while we were gone to
Chalybeate Springs and left a pa
per bag of zinnia plants hanging
to the doorknob. 1 should like the
giver to know that every plant is
growing nicely and that we are
really proud of them

“The idea of a championship
match started when Dr. Barbee be
gan to bragabout his prowess, as
a set-back artist.” said Mr. Shorr.
“That made me mad,” asserted
the man who now claims the city’s
title. The match was arranged last
Thursday night at Shorr’s home.
“You should have seen Dr. Barbee
and Mr. Medlin when they left the
games. They’ll never win again
The losers claimed they ’were dop
ed, but we licked ’em fairly.”

Safety First
As a precaution against the
possibility of an accident, I
want to ask that when oar Fire
Department is called out in
answer to an alarm, that no
one drive nearer than forty
feet behind the Fire Truck.
This will give a safe distance
for the Firemen to handle th*
water hose without taking
chances of being run over by
some one driving too near the
truck.

CP&L Dinner |
On Thursday evening of last I
week a demonstration dinner was
prepared by Woodrow Hayes, sales
man for the Carolina Power and
Light Company, at their store in ]
Zebulon. In addition to the employ- ;
eg—Miss Dorothy Jones, Messrs.
Mlclntyre, Narron, Hodge Eu.ly,
Tom Farr, “Ikey” Farr, and Hayes
—those enjoying the occasion were .
Mrs. Tom Farr and daughter Fran- j
c-es of Nashville and Mesdames
Theo Davis and Ted Davis of Zebu
lon.
The meal included roast beef,
chicken, potatoes, onions, tomatoes,
string beans and peppers, all cook
ed in one of the Company’s new
Magic Electric Cookers
It may not have ben altogether a
fair demonstration of cooking done
in the new way, as the guests sat
around waiting and sniffing at the
delicious odors until they were hun
gry enoungh to have eaten with en
joyment food not half so good as
that which was served. (The delay
was not the fault of the cook or the
cooker, but was caused by the wait
ing for, Narron and‘Mclntyre to
return from a ball game.)
“Woody” Hayes aquitted himself
well in this his first demonstration
of the Magic Cooker, and his talk
was not superior to the food he
had prepared. He used two cookers
—one of each) size—since he cook
ed so much of so many things.
For those who feel that they can
not afford an electric range the
Magic Cooker offers wonderful ser
vice at far less outlay of money.

Neuritis Remedy
Announcement has been made
of the discovery of a new treat
ment for neuritis, wlfich is an in
flammation of the nerve trunks.
This is the crystals made of pure
vitamin B, and is claimed to have
been proven efficient in 90 of the
first 100 cases so treated. The pa
tient takes an amount less than the
size of a pinhead daily.
Th° new medicine is very expen
sive and neuritis sufferers are
probably wise if they do not be
come too much excited over it.
Meredith School

the scene of the opening of the an
nual School for Preachers. Regis
trations numbered around fifty on

Notice
One of the books borrowed
for use in the Literature De
partment of the Woman’s Club
has not been returned and it
is highly important that it be
located at once, as otherwise
the club must pay for it. Ap
propriately enough, the lost
book is “There Is Confusion.”
(And there’ll probably be more
if it is not found.) A short pa
per used in the program on
Corra Harris has also been
mislaid and is wanted. Please
notify Mrs. Fair Bunn if you
can help ber find these.
