7 JOIN THE RED CROSS NOW! JMSMBMEMEHSMSHSMSKSHSHSKSHJI H KNOW Vol No. XXX. Chapel Hill, N. C, November 11, 1921 RED GROSS LAUNCHED TODAY BY COMMITTEE Organization I Perfected To Make Successful Membership Drive For The Red Cross Here. MR. GRAHAM CHAIRMAN The next step in the Fifth Roll Call of the American Red Cross, which is formally inaugurated today, after the cause has been so favorably presented to the University by Dr. Green of the National Committee; to the town by Professor Frank Gra ham; to Carrboro by L. J. Phipps; and to the county by Mr. Francis Bradshaw, is the campaign drive. The drive is not to put across in a hap-hazard manner, but a well regulated committee has been form ed by Professor Frank Graham,1 Chairman of the Roll Call, which according to plans, is going to give everybody in the community a chance to enlist in the most patriotic, reli gious, and humanitarian cause the world has ever known. It is not an organization to serve any special class, nor yet an organization during crises, such as the late war, but rather it is an organization to serve YOU, whoever you are, during war and peace alike. With this in view, the local com mittee has mapped out the follow ing organization, bearing always in mind that Carolina goes forward f i South Atlantic Championship nit only "n football, but also under the banner of the Crhmon Cros.

GREENE TALKS ON RED CROSS Representative American Red Cros Make Eloquent Appeal For Aid in Chapel Tuesday. Bringing to the campus a touch of old-school oratory seldom heard nowadays, Dr. Thomas J. Greene, di rector of the speakers' bureau for the American Red Cross, spoke in chapel Tuesday morning. His time being limited to the regular thirty minute period, Dr. Greene was not able to cover all phases of Red Cress work, but he dwelt especially upjn foreign relief and aid to disabled soldiers and sailors. The chapel committee, learning that Dr. Greene was in Durham, seized the opportunity of bringing him to t ie Hill for this address. The annual Red Cross roll call begins next Monday, a fact which made the committee all the more anxious to secure a speaker on this subject. ""If there is anything connected' with our American social system tint has to do w:.th the fundamental cur rents of life, it is the Red Cross'" said Dr. Greene. "Mary people fail to understand what the Red Cross is. Now that thd war is over tney ask why it doesn't draw in its lines, demobilize its forces, and quit work on a large scale. It doesn't stop be cause it can't stT). It is an int?rrrpl part of the government, an organiza tion created by chaiter of Congress, which states specifically what the Red Cross shall do. The five great departments of government are rep resented on its cabinet, and it can no r.iore stop than the treasury de partment can stop." According to Dr. Greene, there are three things which the Red Cross is required to do by this charter. It must render voluntary aid to sol diers and sailors in time of war. It must act as a channel of com munication between the people at home and their relatives in the army and navy. It must continue to give national and international aid in case of famine,' fir., fked, oi epi demic of any kind. Dr. Greene spoke of his travels in southern. Europe since the war and .-"epicted in graphic terms the misety of the starving people, esneria'ly the children. The danger to civilization resulting from such conditions oiif;ht to give us great concern, he said. In concluding the speaker became very eloquent ir his tribute to Amer ican soldiers, sailors and nurses. He spoke of the g:';at number of t; cse men and women whose health has been ruined as a result of the war, although they may have escaped without an apparent wound. "We must not allow one of them to say that their country is ungrateful," he said, "and it is to save them that the American Red Cross appeals t) you." I The Shakespeare Playhouse ; Com pany of New York will be here next week for three performances at the Play-House on the 18th and 19th. On Friday evening they will present "Candida," by Bernard Shaw; Satur day afternoon Ibsen's masterpiece, "A Doll's House;" and Saturday evening three one-act Dlavs. "A Night At An Inn," by Dunsany, "In The Shadow of The Glen," by Synge, and "The Rising of The Moon" by Lady Gregory. This company played here ; last summer under the auspices of the Carolina Playmakers, and each of their productions met with great suc cess. Professor Koch and others say it is the best company of profession al actors ever seen on a univeristy campus. j Mr. McEntee, director of the 'com pany, is a fine actor himself . f He brought out Walter Hampden in New York, the most famous "Hamlet" of our generation up to the present. The plays they are to present here this time are all of the highest or der. "Candida" is a delightful comedy of the eternal triangle of husband, wife, and love-sick poet who woes her. This complex situation affords the playwright some very amusing incidents. Needless to say that the brilliant Shaw makes the most of this with his flashes of wit and his irresistible humor. Ibsen's "A Doll's House" is a mas terpiece. It is a gripping problem play of modern family life. Ifc ori ginal production was heralded ill all the theatres of Europe, and was, an instantaneous success. It is now re garded at a classic of modern drama. Dunsany's "A Night At An Inn," is a play of mysterious imagination. In far off -Araby is the scene."- ft is a play of terror and of strange beauty, a masterpiece of its kind. ' Synge's play "In The Shadow of The Glen," is one of the best of the Irish plays. It is full of weird imagery and grim humor, and is sure to be a favorite. This may also be said of Lady Gregory's "The Rising of The Moon," another Irish ptay. It is one of the most delightful of the Irish comedies. The wily tramp, who is also a poet, and who has escaped from the burly policeman affords a situation of irresistible comedy. Seats will be on sale at Eubanks on Thursday morning, November 17. By securing a reservation for all three performances a qonsiderablo reduction is made to the purchaser. FRESHMEN PLAY IN WEL-DON. The freshman eleven left for Weldon to play the N. C. State freshman team, being the chief attraction at the big American Legion of that point. The freshman team has shown remarkable improvement over past performances. In the Woodberry game they show ed a complete reversal of form and in several scrimmages with the varsity during the past week they have shown marked ability to gain ground and to hold on the defense.

The organized la borer is not asking for control of the plant in which he works; he is only asking for a voice in the regu lation of three things wages, hours and working conditions." In answer to the objection that so many foreign names arc found cn the rolls of the labor union, Mr. Barrett blamed the manufacturers who often discriminated in favor of cheap foreign labor.
