Well over $5,600 has been tied up in Chapel Hill through checks returned due to banks being closed. Most of these checks will be made good when the banks reopen completely. but have caused considerable inconvenience in the meantime. When Obie Harmon, mana ger of Swain hall, found that a little over $250 in checks had come back on Swain hall, and an additional $100 on him per sonally, he became a bit cau tious about cashing checks. The business office reports that checks come back to them every day and that on one peak day they received $2,500 worth. The V . 1 A c i. xiii. checks returned, valued at about $140, many having been taken in by the service rooms. Merchants Hold Many Checks A survey of several of the busier stores in town shows that the Chapel Hill merchants have had over $2,700 tied up in the form of returned checks. Pritchard-Lloyd's, who cashed a number of checks for stu dents, reached the high water mark with 250, the combined value of which is about $1,000. The Strowd Motor Company had only a dozen returned, but is a close second from point of value because one was for $500. Altogether they had about $800 returned. The Model-Market and Groc ery, together with the A. & P., come next with $300 each. The Ledbetter - Pickard stationery shop had twelve to fifteen checks, worth $200, to come back. Sutton's had little trouble with only $40 or $50 tied up. Eubank's reported that checks were coming back at the rate of five a day, about $10 a day. Strangely enough, the Carolina theatre had little trouble with returned checks. Most of the men consulted pointed out that the checks re turned were not bad in any way but were merely being held up prior to the reopening of banks still closed. Little worry or hard feeling was manifested by those with returned checks on their hands, as they seemed to feel that when the smoke cleared completely on the finan cial front, there would be little loss sustained.

This exception al record was due largely to the extraordinary heat during the months of January,. February, July, and August.

NUMBER 133 Holidays Delayed President Graham Announces Vacation Which Will Last From April 15 to 24. CAMPUS FAVORS ACTION Regular spring holidays to begin noon Saturday, April 15, and to extend until Monday morning, April 24, were grant ed yesterday by President Frank Porter Graham. This an nouncement is in accordance with President Graham's de claration made at the general convocation, March 6, at which time he announced the post ponement of the regular holi days between the winter and spring quarters. President Graham had held final decision open for study and recommendation on the part of the Student Council. The Union Forum and several campus organizations voted overwhelmingly during the past week in favor of the nine day holiday period, and peti tions were sent by the law school and the graduate club. The postponement of the ori ginally-scheduled recess was made by President Graham with the unanimous recommen dation of the Student Council in view of the complications which threatened to arise from the presidential arid state-wide declaration of a national bank ing holiday on March 5.
