17c THE DAILY TAR Ycdnccdayr February 5 1935 "UNC If? ii Til. McCAULE! DEAD Janitor Of The Pharmacy Build ing Passes After Long ;;IIlnessv - "Uncle" George McCauley, for nearly a score of. years janitor of the pharmacy building, after 1 . j j j a iuiis mness uieu . yesieruay morning at-his home on the out skirts of Chapel Hill. He was born November 4. 1858 in Or- ange county about three miles west of Chapel Hill. Brought up as a farm hand, he worked at this until he moved to town in 1892 where he tried various kinds of work. In 1912 he as- suuieu ins uuues as jamuor in the pharmacy building. In this capacity he has "wait ed on" over 700 Dharmacv stu- dents, most of them now prac ticing druggists. They remem ber him as a quiet, uriassuming, obliging servant, present always when work was to be done but preferring at other times to ef face himself. "Uncle" George was very re ligious, not the shouting, fanatic kind but a faithful' Baptist who endeavored to practice all the articles of his church's creed. Dr, W. B. MacNider says that he once heard him offer the most beautiful extemporaneous prayer he ever listened to : beau tiful in its simple words, earnest tones and quiet hope. He had a great leaning to ward lodges, concerning which Dr. MacNider said that he must have belonged to at least eight, and he was a leader in the col ored community in educational and religious matters. In the February 1927 issue of the Carolina Journal of Phar macy appeared a story by Pro fessor J. G. Beard entitled "Un cle George." "A man so white all through that I always forget the .Li -. - 2ji-il nun covering ui auumex. tuiux, thus Professor Beard speaks of his colored friend. "Interwoven through the fabric of his nature are honor, gentleness and faith fulness." When the North Carolina nharmar.v association met m Greensboro in 1927 one of the 1 1 J X- 1. TT ,1 local uruggisus cuuis. vjucie George to the association. When the old man entered the assem blv room all of his former "boys" crowded around to see and greet him. During the meet ing the president called on "Uncle" George for a few words and he responded in a straight forward and touching way. Every pharmacy student who has attended the University since 1910 knows and will al ways remember "Uncle" George with affection. Over two years ago the aged colored man caught a severe cold which went into pneumonia and then into tuberculosis and then the old fellows broom and pan saw the last of him. Dur ing his illness, friends of his made up a fund to carry him through. : ' ' ' The funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at the colored Baptist church in Chapel Hill. The burial will' be at the Hickory ' Grove church, ten miles from town, of which "Un cle" George has been a lifetime AAA VAllA . J5 Dekes Crush jP S.

RECORD HOLDER WILL COMPETE IN NEW YORK Bert Nelson, Butler athlete, broke the world's indoor record for the running high jump with a leap of 6 feet 6 inches Fri day in a dual track meet between Notre Dame and Butler at South Bend, Ind. Nelson's jump shattered the 6 feet 6 inch mark made by Harold Osborne of Illinois A. C. in 1925. The Butler star made the jump attired only in his socks and trunks. He will be seen in action in the Millrose games. "JAZZ HEAVEN" TO OPEN AT THE CAROLINA TODAY With Sally O'Meil singing for the first time on the screen, and John Mack Brown playing the piano in the role of a young com poser, "Jazz Heaven," bright, tunef ul musical romance, opens today at the Carolina theatre. The story deals with the ef forts of Brown to whip his pet song into shape where it will in terest publishers. Just when success seems farthest away, the girl in the next room, played by Sally O'Neil, comes to his res cue and since she is employed to plug songs in a music publishing house, the would-be songwriter is jubilant. However, he finds the road to success isn't royal. Sally in her efforts to help, puts herself in to situations the boy misunder stands and when it looks as if he would abandon the whole thing, a silver lining shows it self in the clouds and success, love and all that go with them begin taking the whip hand. The supporting cast is nota ble, including Clyde Cook, Blanche Friderici, Joseph Caw- thorn, Albert Conti, Henry Ar- metta, J. Barney Sherry, Harry McCoy and others.
