Chapel Hill Blue Laws Restrict
Sale Of Dopes At Church Hours
" ; O :
Local Council Favors Ordinance
Barter of Soft Drinks and Cigarettes at
? Certain Times Sunday.
o -'
Give me a dope, please," .asks 1 which old customers were al-
the 'stranger, depositing: five
cents on the counter. j
'Sorry," says, the soda-clerk,
after consulting his watch, "We
are not allowed to 1 sell soft
drinks during church hours?'
. It is in this manner that the
stranger to liberal Chapel Hill
gets his first taste of the Sunday
"Blue Laws."
The Mayor's Attitude
Mayor Zeb Council states that
this three hour restriction per
iod is. the alternative to having
an all-day prohibition. He
points out that many towns do
not allow their drug stores to
remain open even part of the
day. - "
When asked what he thought
the exact purpose of the ordin
ance was, the mayor stated :
"The object is to give the
church three hours a day in
which to hold!, services. The
stores have the rest of the day
in which to do business."
"Do you mean that the pur
pose of the bill is to allow clerks
working in tle drug stores to
attend church," he was asked.
"Not only the. clerks," the
mayor stated, "Everybody."
The mayor explained that, al
though regarded as new by many
of the students, the Sunday or
dinance was. passed in 1926.
"Occasionally said - the mayor,
"we have to. check up on the
stores."
'Merchants' Opinion
. Sam Paulsen of the Smoke
Shop was asked his opinion of
the bill. "Naturally," he said,
"we lose considerable trade. It
is very inconvenient to our cus
tomers, especially at night."
Paulsen, expained that on Sun
day nights, when the streets are
thronged with students, he loses
a great deal of business because
he, is prohibited from selling
soft drinks and cigarettes. Last
Sunday the Smoke-Shop had an
open box of cigarettes from
Dr. Connor Engaged
In Research Work
Dr: R, D. W. Connor, head of
the history department of the
University, now on. leave of ab
sence, is doing research work in
London at the Record Office. He
has not announced the. definite
era of research he is interested
in, but it will be some period in
the colonial history of North
Carolina.
Dr. Connor has done work
previously in London and on the
continent. The head of the his
tory and government depart
ment also plans to travel on the
continent at this time. During
this summer Dr. Connor taught
af the University of Chicago.
Odum Returns to Chicago
Dr. Howard W. Odum, head of
the social service department of
the University, has returned to
his duties in Chicago as, chief of
the division of social sciences
which is a part of a Century of
Progress or. the Chicago World's
Fair of 1933.
Dr. Odum will return to his
work at the - University about
three weeks from now.1 His ap
pointment as chief of this divi
sion of the fair is a signal honor
for it recognizes his position in
this field as one of the highest
ranking sociologists in America.

lowed to help themselves to
enough cigarettes to tide them
over the "dark ages," between
11 to 12:30 in the morning and
6:30 to 8:30 at night.
Pastor Favors Ruling
C. E. Rozzelle, pastor of the
University Mehtodist church,
said that he is in favor of the
ruling although it does not, he
believes, have any effect on
church attendance. "Those who
go will go and those who stay
away will stay . away, regard
less," he stated. He volunteered
the ' information that the
church's chief objection to the
drug stores remaining open ori
Sunday morning was that the
noise from radios and phono
graphs was distracting to the
congregation. ;The Sunday
ordinance contains nothing per
taining to the running of radios
or phonographs.: '
Introduced in 1926
t It was in February, 1926 that
Alderman C. T. Durham intro
duced the bill which provided
Chapel Hill with the Sunday
"Blue Laws." W. S. Roberson
was mayor of Chapel Hill at that
time.
The ordinance states: "That
soda fountains . . .. and stores of
like nature may remain open for
business on Sundays, except dur
ing.the hours from 11:00 a. m.
to 12 :30 p. m. and from 6:30 p.
m. to 8 :30 p. m."
During this time they ".
shall sell no soft drinks, cigars,
cigarettes or tobacco or any
thing which is not classed as
food . . It is understood that
milk-shakes are not prohibited
by this ordinance.
It is rumored that certain
students ori the campus are boot
legging Coca-Colas during the
hours covered by the "Blue
Law." If caught, they will be
subject to Imprisonment or the
payment of a $50.00 fine.

dren, the first Playmaker pro

and 7 : 30 this evening. Any stu
dents who think they can act or

find that married life is not as
thrilling as the courtship they
had formerly engaged in. After
much quarrelling, in! the second
act they part. Bobby goes to
Mrs. Gorlik's to Jive. When
parted they find they can't live
without each other, so the last
act finds them united by the
wise and good natured father,
Mr. Halevy.
