THE TAR HEEL, JANUARY 18, 1921. Page Four TALKSTIIE BONDS R. M. Brown Leads Dicuion and Declarei for Effective System of Chambers of Commerce. Speaking before the North Caro lina Club on last Monday night, Mr. R. M. Brown declared for a bigger, better and more effective system of Chambers of Commerce for North Carolina. First giving a brief of town and rural conditions, the flow of ruralists to the cities, and the in terlocking of town and rural com munities through dependence of manufactured and food products, banking, education churches, amuse ments and last, but not least, leader ship. The problem before the peo ple today is to find some agency to bring the two closer together. The Board of Trade or the Chamber of Commerce is the agency that is im portant now. A brief history of the New York City Chamber of Com merce was then given by Mr. Brown, and he further pointed out that there are now 4,000 chambers in the Unit ed States, 64 of which are in North Carolina. "The field is unlimited," and the fundamental purpose of the organization should be "to teach team thinking and team action." The function of the Secretary of the Chamber is a vital part of the organ ization, and ,the main trouble with those in North Carolina is that they have a perpetual disregard for their duties. Statistics were pointed out to show that there are 414 incor porated villages in North Carolina, and that there are 70 counties which have a rural population of 75 per cent or over; six of the counties have a city population of 50 per cent or over; three counties have no towns incorporated. As a rule towns of less than 2,500 population have ceased to grow. The remedy is "be come either manufacturing or resi dental cities." Only 9 per cent of the increase went to the small towns while 54 per cent went to the cities. The specific task of the Chamber of Commerce is to make the small town function. Where there are several organizations in one county there should be a confederation of them. In the discussion that followed sev eral points were brought out about the separate city chambers in North Carolina. The chamber at Raleigh was mentioned along with those of Durham, Asheville, Charlotte, Gas tonia, etc. CAMPUS CABINET HAS At Pirst Meeting of Quarter, Reports ' From AH Committees Heard and Approved. EXCHANGES. Meeting in the Cabinet Room of the Y. M. C. A. last Thursday night at seven o'clock the Campus Cabinet held its first semi-monthly meeting for the new scholastic year. After hearing reports of the Class Athletic Committee and Chapel Committee, the cabinet went into the details of these reports. The report of the Class Athletic Committee dealt large ly with the progress made in the man agement of class athletics for the past quarter, and the discussion of furth er plans in regard to this line of its work was dispensed with pending the early change to be done in the direc torship. The committee in charge of chapel exercises were authorized to go the full extent of their capacity in the effort to make the program en tertaining. A report of the chair man of the Greater University Stu dent Committee which has had in charge the direction of the student part of the campaign for Higher Edu cation showed clearly what had been done by the Committee. This com mittee grew out of the action of the Campus Cabinet in an effort to co operate with the Faculty Central committee. Other matters of student interest were gone into and discussed by the cabinet. The Campus Cabinet is student service organization, being in reality the official go-between in faculty and student affairs. I FACT AND COMMENT The Order of The Grail initiated on Saturday night W.

APOLOGIES TO PEGGS Up from my cot, the bed being stole during the holidays and me un able to steal another, and to Swain for breakfast. From thence three classes were attended with much in tellectual enlightenment and did dis courage after Christmas fresh when I told him I was talking blankology 62. "What a lot of courses," he ex claimed. This fore-noon has Rastus lower ed his dignity to the point of clean ing up the room before dinner, in deed a strange and uncommon occur ance and I feared either for his health or his mind, The considera tion of the University in allowing us such conveniences as janitor service, running water, Literary Societies and 8:30 classes is not to be too highly praised. The afternoon employed in study was lightened , and made enjoyable by Oscar practicing on his saxophone in the room above. I was thankful that Jim was on Botany Lab, be cause he is an addict of dog danc ing and the ceiling is weak. The music ceased with a crash as an off cast shoe wended its weary way through the transom. At supper time to Swain where the authorities were doing their best to make life more enjoyable to the poor student boys by having them show their receipts before they went in to sup. Not having a receipt nor Red either the bulletin board lost several choice Latin books for sale and one fine fountain pen lost strayed or stolen. A hearty supper of canned milk! seasoned with extract of oyster and camouflaged with little red spiders and firmly convinced that honesty is no-policy at all, to the Pick, Post office, Pinochle game and bed this being my regular after supper pro gram and did match Red out of shut ting the window in the morning. Mr. William Kendall, of New York City, who is the consulting architect employed by the University to aid in the erection of the new building now under course of construction on the campus, was on the Hill last Thurs day. Mr. Slater, the State architect, has charge of the erection of all state buildings. The building is expected to be ready for occupancy by the first of June. number of missions recently opened in the interior of Alaska. His per sonal experiences with the Indians were very entertaining and humorous. J. R. Raper, of Linwood, and J. B. Hicks, of Henderson, have been initiated into Theta Chi. Word has been received by Don nell Van Noppen that W. R. Wunsch, until recently general secretary of the Y. here, is studying at Columbia University. His studies include Ger man and journalism. After resigning the office of secretary of the Y, that he held here for two and a half years, Wunsch went to his home in Louisi ana, from where he went on to New York City. PICKWICK PUTS ON REALLY GOOD SHOW "The Penalty" by Gouverneur Mor ris Deserves Place With Best Shown Here. A pamphlet entitled "Yackety Yack 1921" has been issued by the Yackety Yack board, in which they give a full description of this year's Yackety Yack. The board in issuing this pamphlet or news letter does so with the intention of placing directly before the student body all the tech nicalities involved in the issuing of a college annual. A campaign for sub scriptions was made Thursday and Friday. The price of the book will be five dollars, an increase of one dollar over last year's price. Goldwyn's latest production "The Penalty" shown at the Pickwick Fri day and Saturday constituted by far the best attraction offered by that theater during the present season. It is gratifying to note that the man agement is making special effort to secure and exhibit pictures of such high order, for it is there the funda mental difference between the loca1. Pickwick and the average small town movie. The story, which is by Gouverneur Morris and one of the best he has done, deals with the insatiable desiro j a aiseasea ana aisioriea mina, I though highly improbable, furnished ' an ideal medium for introducing the revenge and romance motifs which wend their . way through the many intricacies of plot to a clear and sat isfactory consummation in the anti climax. Certainly there were weaknesses no movie has yet attained that myth ical state we cill perfection, ytl in "The Penalty" we have unsurpassed character representation, a definite problem, a series of plot intricacies which maintain coherent connection until the climax, and abovj all a gripping story, which purports, after all, to be the major premise of the movie as well as of the novel and short story. Blizzard's character, which is, to the minutest detail, depicted in the settings, gives to the picture an ex tent of realism seldom before at tained in a screen production. That I the directors had good material to begin with there is no question, but the fact that they utilized the same to the ultimate advantage, is the fact which coupled with Lon Chaney's practically flawless portrayal of the role of "Blizzard" is what gives the production its position as marking a new epoch and standard in the technique of the silent drama. James T. McCraw, of Wilson, N. C, and Oscar McMullan, of Eliza beth City, N. C, have been initiated into the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. The regular mid-winter meeting of the trustees of the University will take place next week in the Govern or's office at Raleigh. Governor Morrison is ex-officio. chairman of the Board of Trustees. This meeting has not been called for any special purpose, but all matters pertaining to the University will be brought up.

A. and enjoying the work, which he states, "is very interesting, but by no means easy." Dr. Edgar W. Knight has been in itiated into the Upsilon chapter of Kappa Alpha. Dr. H. W.
