"All My Sons"
Promises to Beat Hollywood

After having successfully es
caped the hazard of sun stroke,
the cast of "All My Sons" is be

production.

Vic Huggins Elected
As New President
Of Merchants Group
L. Vic Huggins was elected
president of the Chapel Hill-Carr-boro
Merchants Association at a
dinner meeting of the organiza
tion held Monday night at the
Carolina Inn.
Huggins, who succeeds Harvey
D. Bennett as leader of the asso
ciation, stated in accepting the
position that he appreciated not
only the honor but also the tre
mendous responsibility of head
ing the group.
, He called for close cooperation
among the members with a view
to "better service to the cus
tomers," as well as more rapid
progress in the development of
the community into a trading
center.
Pointing out that since the
community now has a population
approaching 15,000 including both
Chapel Hill and Carrboro
the new leader said that the busi
ness men are now in position to
offer better stores, better selec
tions of quality goods, a greater
variety, and lower prices due to
the increased volume of business.
President Huggins closed his
remarks with a challenge to all
members that "we must never
lose sight of our obligation to
constantly strive to improve our
service and to keep alert to the
needs of our customers."
Other officers named were
James H. Davis, vice-president;
L. J. Phipps, attorney; and E. C.
Smith, state director; Mrs. Lois
R. Cranford as secretary-treasurer.
Board of Directors elected for
three year terms were John
Clarke, F. E. Strowd and W. L.
Brooker.
.Otherv.bo4r4ri;.j?iembers,. whose
terms continue for one and two
years more, include Jack Lip-
man; Raymond Andrews of An-drews-Riggsbee,
Carrboro; R. H.
Marks of Marks Clothing ' Com
pany, Carrboro; M. M. Timmons
of the Porthole; John W. Um
stead, Jr.; and C. E. Teague of
the University Administration.
H. D.' Bennett, as retiring presi
dent, will serve on the board for
the coming year.
H. W. Wentworth of Went
worth . and Sloan Jewelry Com-
; pany, and Roger Wade of Hos
. pital Savings Association were
elected to serve the unexpired
terms on the board of directors
created by the resignation of
Cast Stews,
Hughes and Martha Grattan. This
resulted in quite a stir of laugh
ter. Both Edsel and Martha are
married but not to each other;
their wedding . - rings were in
plain view of the camera. (They
weren't married in the love scene
either). As one member of the
cast said, "Simply a pathetic
fallacy." Anyone who is interest
ed in losing weight just try fol
lowing "All My Sons" around to
rehearsals and picture-making, if
you can keep up with them, that
is.
Those who saw the motion pic
ture version of ' "All My Sons"
have seen what Hollywood can
dp to a smash hit. And what hap
pened to this play shouldn't hap
pen to a dog even in Hollywood.
The play is much fuller than
the Movie version. Each character
is better developed in the play.
The picture has left out the
lighter and more humorous parts.
The typical Hollywoodish melo
drama completely saturated the
movie. Human laughter and sor
rows and joys are the emotions
in the play. The little everyday
conversations and happenings
that convey so much meaning
and warmth to the characters in
the play were entirely obliterated
in the screen play; these endear
ing and human characteristics of
the play were replaced in the
movie by melodramatic and un
natural incidents and dialogue.
New Scholarship
By N. C. Society
To Be Awarded
A scholarship, valued at $200,
to be awarded to a "worthy grad
uate student specializing in North
Carolina history," has been es
tablished at Carolina by the

by the Society "in honor and in
memory of General William
Richardson Davie, one of the ori
ginal founders of the University
of North Carolina and an original

tion responsible for making the
award, Chancellor House said,
was composed of Joseph B.
Cheshire, Jr., and Graham H. An
drews, both of Raleigh, and Fran

the hope of the committee that
this scholarship may be increased j
in amount and put on a perma-
nent basis," they said.

Graduate school. Graduate stu
dents interested in North Caro
lina history are invited to make
application for the award through
the Graduate school dean, Dr.

the society "will be of great value
in stimulating advanced study
and research in the history of
North Carolina."

80 Stricken Patients
An epidemic of food poisoning swept Spencer Hall and other
women's dormitories last Monday afternoon with the late .1
count being 80 stricken patients, half of whom were admitted
to the infirmary.
The epidemic, which began about o'clock, had by mid
night turned Spencer into a
Garvin Publishes
Precautions for
Polio Prevention
Precautionary measures against
the possible prevention of the
spread of polio have been print
ed and issued in a bulletin by
Dr. O. David Garvm. District
Health Officer here, as a result
of Orange county's only case of
polio in the current outbreak.
Dr. Garvin, in cooperation with
University officials, has had t lie
entire Victory Village, occupied
by married students and their
families, sprayed with DDT and
bulletins issued on precautions to
be taken.
These actions were the result
of the only case to develop here.
Dr. Garvin, who took a re
fresher course in the diagnosis
and treatment of polio last spring
at the Knickerbocker Hospital in
New York, drew up the following
list of precautions:
1.) Avoid unnecessary contacts
with groups and crowds, especi
ally indoors. 2.) There is no ad
vantage in going away, chance of
exposure is greater if you travel.
3.) Continue your normal' activi
ties. 4.) Treat every fever not
readily explained as poliomylitis
and go to bed. 5.) Don't take '
medicine for protection. Do not
use gargles or nose drops. 6.)
Avoid fatigue. 7.) Avoid use of
contaminated water. 8.) Avoid,
insult to mouth, nose and throat.
) Kill flies. 10.) Don't get
panicky.
Dr. Garvin pointed out that Dr.
Charles Armstrong of the U. S.
Public Health Service has de
monstrated that "approximately
71 percent of the adult popula
tion have had poliomylitis experi
ence without having known
about it. This means that 71 per
cent of adults have developed
some immunity to the disease.

There will be no 4th of July
program in the Forest theater
this Sunday, it was announced
today. The program, ' scheduled
