Merchants
DDT Spray Program
With the number of poliomyelitis cases throughout the
state hitting above the 600 mark yesterday, the Chapel Hill
Carrboro Merchants Association announced that it is spon
soring a v campaign - to - clean up and spray every business
establishment within the city limits of the twin towns as
one hope that the disease may be stopped here.

the association, in making the
announcement stated that the
work is being done in coopera
tion with the District Health De-
partment, and while there was
no proof that the dread disease
is being spread by insects, ifis,of selection for a new director
Known mai insects can spieciu it
Officially the campaign begins
this' morning with the first busi
ness house getting the works to
be Ab's Book Shop on East
Franklin street. The garbage
houses, garbage cans, porches,
doors, and surrounding area of
each merchant will be cleaned
up and sprayed with DDT.
A spraying team, trained by
the Health Department, will do
the work, with the Merchants
Association underwriting all cf
the cost for DDT and labor. The
Health Department will lend its
spraying equipment to the as
sociation for the use of the
project.
District Health Department i
Engineer James Westbrook, com
menting on the project yester
day, said that he thought it could
do a lot of good toward pre
venting spread of the feared in
fantile paralysis from insect
sources, but warned that the
greatest number of cases 1 come
as the result of contact with the
disease.
It's Inaccurate
'Mardi Gras' Promises To Be A
By Doris Weaver
Sound arid Fury ' has taken a
leap ahead of the science and
the 'religion department to give
Carolina an inaccurate but en
couraging prevue . of Hell in
"Mardi Gras" which promises to
be a (censored) of a show. This
comic fantasy (or is it fantastic
comedy?) is to spread its flames
of laughter in Memorial Hall in
the coming two nights.
Th new and unique version of
that hot-bed of happy sin and
gin which is presented in "Mardi
Gras" would cause . even Billy
Sunday to roll back his stone
and change his resting place.
This lifely comedy of death

To Pay For
Union Board Seeks
Permanent Head
The Student Union Board of
T)irfr,tnr; nrtincr ac n rnmmittop
for Graham Memorial, is not in
terested in appointing any per
son not willing to assume the
position on a permanent basis.
Dean Fred H. Weaver, Chairman
of the Board, revealed Wednes
day morning.
."We have written various
alumnae of the University hoping
to find a suitable man for the
job." Dean . Weaver said. He add
eed that "the committee of the
board has decided to wait as long
as necessary to get the right
man.
It is the intention of the board
to find a man who will operate
the union on a professional basis.
The size of the job will depend
on how far the director carries
the operation of Graham Memo-.
rial and the Student Union be
yond the obviously nominal
functions, according to Weaver.
"We want to put this Student
Union on the same footing with
Unions everywhere," the Dean
asserted.

That alone is worth the price of
admission. Dusty sets music to
dance to the tunes of "Mardi

Author and director Pete Stra

times more, of his typical double
meanings into practically every

not find the meanings as clear
as those in last summer's "Weep

fields of laughter to explore
aren't there? South Building will
agree, anyway.

Many High School
Candidates Apply
For Scholarships
Dean D. D. Carroll announced
yesterday that over 200 applica
tions from 150 high school gradu
ates were received for the Andy
Bershak and Smith Scholarship,
and that the winners, will be
chosen by July 24.
The Andy. Bershak Scholarship
which totals $2,000 for four years
was conceived by fraternity men
gn the campus and awarded each
year to deserving high school
graduates who need help and
who have evidenced high scholar
ship and : leadership. The award
is in memory of one of Carolina's
Ail-Americans, who had one of
the highest scholastic averages
of past students.
Last Saturday thirty -nine ap
plicants were here to be inter
viewed and were entertained at
a luncheon in Lenoir Hall. Forty
had been invited however at the
last moment it was reported that
the candidate had joined the
Navy.
Single Term Vets
Should Visit VA
Al veterans who registered for
both terms of Summer School
and have decided to attend only
the first term, and drop out the
second, are asked to check by
315 South Building and arrange
to have their subsistence stopped
for the second term.
The Veterans Advisor stresses
that this applies only to veterans
who registered for both terms
and are not going to be here the
second one.

Gras' proposes to encourage early
suicide, but this particular con
ception of that gay city is just
as pleasant as the journey."
Mrs. R. J. Wherry of the
Wherry Dance studio has spent
countless afternoons drilling a
chorus line of tired, aching girls.
They have spent the following
moments in a state of collapse
moaning, "This ballet is as hot
as the theme of the show!" One
of the discouraged amateurs was
heard remarking during the
course of a rehearsal, "Ballet
dancers look like swans I re
semble a miniature elephant."
The curtain goes up on "Mardi
Gras" tonight at -8 o'clock in
Memorial Hall. In the words of
author Strader, "Come on down
we'll have a Hell of a time!"

Plans are rapidly taking shape for the freshman chapel

Garvin Explains
Use of DDT Spray
Dr. O. David Garvin, District
Health Officer for Orange, Per
son, Chatham and Lee Counties,
has issued the following infor
mation on the Use of DDT spray
ing for insect and fly control:
I "Experience .with DDT spray
ling for fly and insect control has
produced effective results when
the spraying has been done cor
rectly," Dr. Garvin said. To be
effective the spray should be ap
plied, by trained workers and a
good DDT mixture and pressure
sprayers should be used.
Dr. Garvin pointed out that
the use of flit guns for spraying
is not satisfactory because the
spray is not applied in an even,
covering coat. Much of the spray
is wasted when applied in this
method.
When the DDT is applied di
rectly to the walls and ceilings
of houses, privies, barns and
porches by trained workers it is
a worthwhile measure in con
trolling flies and insects.
In regard to spraying as a polio
preventive measure, Dr. J. W. R4
Norton, State Health Officer, has
said, "it must be pointed out that
the part played by the fly in the
spread of polio is still not clear.
It is the opinion of most authori
ties at this time that the most
important method of spread of
this disease is by person to per
son contact and that spread by
flies is only of secondary import
ance." However, Dr. Norton goes
on to say that, "flies are known
to play a part in the transmission
of several filth borne diseases so
that year round fly control is a
valuable public health program
for its over-all benefit."
Greeks, Customs, Pins
And a Candle in Hand
It's an old Carolina custom
for a frate-rnity to serenade a
coed when one of its members
pins her up, but when a soro
rity turns the tables and sere
nades a Greek, then it must
be leap year.
In the case of the Chi
Omegas serenading Bobby
Stockton at the Beta house
Wednesday night, however,
leap year wasn't the cause.
The sorority girls were just
retaliating for a practical joke
the Betas pulled last Sunday.
It seems Mr. Stockton was
having dinner at ihe Chi
Omega house, one lonely male
in a sheik's heaven. This was
too good a chance for the
Beta's to miss. First they call
ed up. asked for Miss Roberta
Stockton and read a telegram
which purportedly said: "So
glad you pledged Chi O. Love
Mother." Then, en masse, Mr.
Stockton's brothers appeared
at the sorority house and sere
naded during dinner.
Wednesday night the soro
rity returned the compliment.
Just before 11 o'clock they
showed up at the Beta house
with a pledge pin for Roberta
Stockton. The pin was 10
inches wide and a foot high.
Then while Kenny Powell and
Chan Highsmilh held the
struggling Robert before a
window with a candle in his
hand, ihe girls serenaded him
with "Our One Chi O Boy'
"Hush Little Baby," and
"We're Rushing You Chi
Omega."
Afterwards they moved
slowly away, softly singing,
"Crawl into your trundle bed
and cover up your little head."
Chapel Plan
Attendance
Bill
Miller and Lanier are
working out the answer to the
attendance problem. One of the
suggested plans involves using
a card-indexing system with the
new student's name and home
on the card. A number is then
given the student and when he
enters the auditorium he fills a
printed form which is returned
to a box on his leaving the hall.
These forms are then checked
with the files and absences noted.
The student will receive a call
from his advisor on the first un
excused absence. The second ab
sence will initiate a letter to the
student's parents. If the student
is absent a third time he is
automatically dropped from the
rolls and will have to go to the
chapel meetings in his sophomore
year. He will not be able to leave
general college until he makes
up that one hour chapel credit,
which the freshmen wili receive.
Other members of the fresh
man chapel committee are: Dean
William Welles, Dean C. P.
Spruill, Dean Fred Weaver, Ed
Lanier, Bill Miller and Jess
Dedmond.
Orientation Work
To Begin June 21
Chairman of the Orientation
Committee Bill Miller said today,
"Even if the number of new stu
dents is going to be small this
comjng second summer term, we
will not neglect our duty to
orient them.
The orientation program will
start Wednesday June 21 at 7:30
p. m. in Gerrard Hall," Miller
said. It is expected that Dean of
Men Fred Weaver, President of
the Student Body Jess Dedmond
and a representative of the coeds
will be attending the meeting
for the new students.
Up to the present time it is re
ported that the admissions office
has approximately 25 new
comers registered.

French Counsul
Need Of French
The increasing role of French
Summer schools, coresponding to
the increasing importance of the
study of French was stressed
Wednesday night at a celebration
of Bastille Day by Rene de Mes
sieres, cultural adviser to the
United States at the French Em
bassy offices in New York. Chan
cellor Robert B. House responded
to the speech which was deliver
ed at a banquet sponsored by the
French House of the University
of North Carolina at the Caro
lina Inn.
Mr. de Messieres, formerly pro
fessor of French Literature at
the University of Lyon in France
and at Wellesley College in New
York, said that international re-
rations nave Decome so compli
cated that only complete com-
prehension can be the basis of

this, the UNESCO commission de
cided on English and French as
the official international langu
ages and is now working on a
project which will require- the
teaching of either of these langu
ages. At the present time in France,
Citizens Warned
Against Dangers
Of Spotted Fever
Five cases of Rocky Mountain
Spotted Fever have been report
ed in the last ten days, with two
of the instances fatal, Dr. David
O. Garvin health officer of
Orange, Person, Chatham, and
Lee Counties, stated today, issu
ing a warning to the residents
of the area in regard to the
disease.
Dr. Garvin urges that the peo
ple of Orange-Person-Chatham
and Lee Counties be vaccinated
against Rocky Mountain Spotted
fever by their private physician
or at the Health Department.
Many families have overlook
ed the necessity for protection
against this disease that is
carried by ticks. People working
out-of-doors and children who
play out-of-doors in areas where
there are wood, grass and weeds,
should have the protection given
by the vaccine. ;
Dr. Garvin pointed out that
many people will visit tick in
fested areas for picnics and on
vacations. Any individuals or
families planning outings should
have the protective vaccine.
The vaccine is injected under
the skin in the upper arm. Three
injections are given, one each
week for three weeks.

given on the petition drive, plus
a report on the checking of the

boards.
Emphasizes
Summer School
80 per cent of the students in
secondary schools are learning
English, and in England a paral
lel situation exists. He said it is
important that the United States
create a similar situation here.
France, he said, "is the key
stone because it is geographically
the center of it. It is the keystone
because it is historically the epi
time of it. It is the keystone of
it because its spiritual destiny
seems ... to permit its diverse
fundamental traits to be assimi
lated with one another, as well
as to try to organize this inor
ganic or disrupted Europe."
But, he added, that France is
also an entity of its own, with a
"particular genius for clarity"
and a quality of restlessness
which "has always kept it from
being satisfied with ready made
formulas." .
Prof. Hugo Giduz, director of
the French House since its for
mation in 1945, presided at the
banquet which had as its invited
guests Chancellor ansE Mrs. Rob
ert B. House, W. M. Dey, head
of the Romance Language Department.
