MORNING SESSION ENDS SCOUT SEMINAR MEETING North Carolina Boy Scout executive seminar will close its three-day session here, with a luncheon today. Last night ex ecutives, who had not been pre viously made members of the Al pha Phi Omega national scout ing fraternity, were initiated in to the organization as honorary ' members. The social feature of the sem inar was a banquet last evening at which members of the local chapter of Alpha Phi Omega ' ;were guests of the executives. The speakers on the today's program will be Dr. English ' Bagby and R. B. Vance. HOLDER OF CHARLOTTE FACES ODD SITUATION , It won't be with a dry eye that Mac Holder, Charlotte high school halfback, takes the field today against the Durham high gridsters in the class "A" title encounter. Mac was the Durham high school field general last year who wrought havoc in the eastern class "A" conference ; and when the Bulldog signal barker met Charlotte in the contest of last year for state laurels, he broke away in the final quarter on his 40-yard stripe and stepped away for a touchdown. Holder's mark er made the 'final score 13-6, thus beating his teammates this year. , His alleged unpopularity with his former subjects must be very largely a myth, as the gov ernment in Madrid has kindly -relieved Alfonso of all his stocks and bonds. Detroit News. 1 VICE-PRESIDENTIAL POLL My selection for vice-president of the Greater University of North Carolina to succeed President Graham as head of the University in Chapel Hill is: Registration No.: Ballot Boxes Located in Y. M. C. A. and in Graham Memorial POLL CONDUCTED BY THE DAILY TAR HEEL Co-eds Postpone Second Battle Floors Injuries Cause Postponement of Fray Which Will Be Played This Morning. The second of the famed "battles between the floors," Spencer hall basketball contests, was postponed yesterday when the hard-hitting co-ed conting ent from the third floor had fail ed to recover sufficiently, after its victory over the second floor Thursday. The third floor girls were scheduled to play the fourth floor team yesterday but the squad had suffered minor in juries in the game Thursday which would handican thir speedy game. According to advices received late last night, the two teams will line up on the co-ed athletic court at 10 :30 this morning for the contest. The fourth floor contingent is in prime shape and are all ready for the fray, which will determine the championship of Spencer hall.

I have tried to make them as in clusive and not as exclusive as possible. We want to know what both the inner world and outer world are doing. If either is ignored, music in life becomes lop-sided." ' Praises Local Work Grainger was delighted to see Lamar Stringfield's work in the Chapel Kill program. He ex pressed the opinion that all con cert programs should contain works which are the results of local genius. Stringfield's com positions, he stated, had not been written on the spot, but were j j 1 ... actually the outcome of local teelmgs and traditions. . He be lieves that these two tlii TUTS should always be kept in mind: local f eeling and inspiration bal anced against cosmopolitan cul ture and experience Himself closely connected with the academic progress of music by his association with the mu sic department of New York University, he had warm praise for the advances that the schools are making. "The high schools, and colleges are definite ly contributing in the south to the. manifest awakening of pop - ular.interest in music. "He also commented on the increased, ac tivity of professional and semi- prof essional groups as an im portant contribution to the movement. Composer, conductor, and artist, he expressed his philos ophy of his work when he said "It is to catch the freedom of spirit of the rhythm of nature that we are working." To this end, he has set himself in de termining opposition to the con stricting, features of the classic style and heartily favors the ex periments of the moderns. THE DAILY Local Drive For Sale Of Christmas Seals Will Get ' O Intensive Campaign, Endorsed by To Aid American Tuberculosis Society in Stamping Out Disease Locally and Nationally. Students of the" University and townspeople will again have the opportunity of contributing to the work of the American Tuberculosis Association this year through an intensive local drive for the sale of Christmas seals which will begin next Monday. The Work of the national or ganization is recognized as one of the most helpful and has ma terially aided in decreasing deaths from tuberculosis. , Proceeds Used Locally The proceeds collected in the local campaign will for the most part fo toward stamping out tu berculosis in Chapel Hill: Of all the money secured from the sale of these stamps, seventy-five per cent remains in the locality. This, together . with donations from other, sources, helps to serve the needs of local suffer ers, though even these funds are short of the necessary amount. The largest lump sum collect ed locally goes toward the salary of a nurse who examines school children, inspects homes, makes suggestions to mothers for the care of their families, supervis es the care of home patients, all the way lessening the toll of the disease. Another large portion goes to the keeping of one or more pa tients in sanatoriums and pro viding medical attention and nourishing foods for numerous others who remain at home. Receives Local Endorsements The campaign has received high endorsement from a large number of local persons. Mayor Zeb P. Council of Chapel Hill states : "As ' mayor of Chapel Hill I wish to urge the people of my community to invest as much as possible in these Christmas Seals. I say invest for what better use can we find for our CHILEAN PATRIOT CHOSEN VISITING PEACE LECTURER (Continued from first page) pecially remembered as a strong advocate of economic co-operation of the United States and Chile, and as such appears to'lished in leading 'mairazinfta of have no fear of the so-called economic imperialism of this country. Modern Journalist Upon returning to Chile after the downfall of the Ibanez re gime, Dr. Davila resumed the direction and publication of Hoy (Today), an example of iip-to date journalism. In investiga tions he found his country suf fering acutely from the depres sion. He decided that certain drastic changes were necessary to enable Chile to meet the des perate circumstances of the un employment and economic crisis. At the request of many friends and with their aid, he affected a sudden coup d'etat and was brought to power as Provisional President on June 4, 1932. He served as such for three months. Upon relinquishing his power as president, Dr. Davila took up a residence in the United States. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH TO GIVE BAZAAR TUESDAY The Presbyterian church is conducting a Christmas bazaar Tuesday, December 6. at S-nn o'clock. Christmas articles, made oy members of the auxiliary of the church will be on sale, in ad dition to food. A member rf ocal chapter of the Red Cross will be on hand to sell tuber- culosis Christmas seals. A story nour will be conducted during ne atternoon for the small chil dren so that the mothers will be able to shop. TAR HEEL Underway Monday Local Persons, Will Be Launched money in these times when . it is so scarce, than in the improve ment and nrotection of the health of our families." "As health officer of Chapel Hill," said Dr. S. A. Nathan, ffivinsr his endorsement, "I wish to call attention of the people to the value to the community of the health program as carried out by Nurse Compton in her work. Anv increase of funds for her use in this task means just so ' much more benefit for our locality." Origin of Seal Idea This idea of using an extra stamp on Christmas mail, the proceeds from its sale to be used for the aid of those suffering from tuberculosis, came "from Einar HolboelL a Danish mail clerk. After talking the idea over with friends, he finally succeed ed in gaining the attention of the king and queen who agreed to back his plans. The first year of campaign was rewarded with the securing of enough money to build a children's hos pital. A stamp oh a letter from Denmark to Jacob Ries aroused American interest. Miss Emily Bissell of Wilmington, Dela ware, is credited with taking the initiative in this country in 1906. The first year of the work was rewarded by the collection of $3,000.00 which equipped a small hospital. For several years the seal sale was conducted by the American Red Cross and then jointly by the Red Cross and the Tuber culosis Association. When the Red Cross adopted the roll call as its methods of raising funds to be used for general relief work, the task of collecting money to be used for the pre vention of tuberculosis was left to the tuberculosis association.
