Mrs. Lawton Tells .
Of State's Beauty
Along the Roadsides
Mrs. W. L. Lawton, who, is
making a survey of North Caro
lina roads in connection with
her work as president of the
National Council for Protection
of Roadside Beauty, lectured
here last night at the Carolina
Inn on the progress that is be
ing made toward roadside beau
tification in this state.
"Roadside beautification does
not necessarily mean formal
tree planting of highways from
end to end, since they are not
intended as horticultural exhib
its, but windows of the state,
through' which the travelers may
enjoy the fields, crops, woods
and hills," Mrs. Lawton said.
"The North Carolina road
sides are naturally lovely and
interesting if they are left as
nature made them,", she said,
pointing out that raw shoulders
and cuts are scars and that the
billboard blight has broken out
as a rash along the highways.
Showing some of. the things
that roadside beautification
might hope to accomplish, Mrs.
Lawton said that it would con
sist largely in covering up the
scare, replacing the sacrificed
trees, clearing away billboards,
and a little judicious planting of
city ; approaches which would
make the highways of the state
"as famous for their beauty as
they now are for their road
beds." Mrs. Lawton came here un
der the joint auspices of the
Jefferson Davis Highway com
mittee of trie North' Carolina U.
D C, and the Chapel Hill Com
munity Club. She was intro
rvi J. H. Pratt of
Chapel Hill, president of the
State Forestry Association.
Rockwell's Name Omitted
By mistake the name of
Harry Blockwell was omitted
from the list, of v those passing

GREEN TO LEAD DANCE
J. C. B. Ehringhaus of Eliza
beth City, delivered the main
address of the evening at the
Senior Smoker last night in
Swain hall. J. Maryon Saun-
ders introduced the speaker.
Mr. Ehringhaus said that
there was more to campus life
than mere books, and that there
were four things that one learn
ed on the University campus
that would be of more value in
the world than all the knowledge
from books.
"Whether you come to the
University for the purpose of
serious study, or whether you
come for pleasure, the impress
of the University will in some
way be made upon you. There
are certain attitudes, certain
traditions, certain rules of con
duct, whether you realize it or
not, w which make for the most
valuable recollections of your
University days."
, Mr. Ehringhaus stated that
four things that were the most
valuable to be obtained from life
on the Carolina campus were:
the friendships that one made
while in college that would go
through life, the habit of
thought, the knowledge of honorable-
conduct of the little
things in life, and the apprecia-
A J t f 1 J 1 "I
iion or tne lunaamenxai-aesires
of life in all its aspects of the
rule that all men are created
free and equal.
"When you graduate," Mr.
Ehringhaus said, "do not for
get these things and carry them
with you always. Aim high,
shoot straight, and build up a
reserve of moral, physical and
mental strength. And remem
ber that on tnis campus you
learned to know men and learned
to know them as men."
Ray Farris, president of the
student body, made the closing
address. He said that on the
recent trip to Palo Alto, Cal.,
to the national meeting ot stu-
that the University's ' govern
ment ranked amoner the best.

were elected: Bob Graham,
