Vol. 12. No. 36. THIS STATE GOES AGAINST REPEAL BY A BIG MARGIN Majority May Reach 175,000 by the Time All Precincts Have Made Reports DECREASE IN TOTAL VOTE North Carolina went against the repeal of the 18th Amend ment, in the election Tuesday, by a. majority that the final count will probably show to be around 175.000. At the pres ent writing only eight tenths of the 1,831 precincts have report ed, and the majority stands at 150,000. The total vote cast in North Carolina in the Roosevelt-Hoov er election last year was 706,- 000. The vote last Tuesday in the precincts so far reported was 369,000. Perhaps this will be brought up to around 450,- 000 in the final report, it ap pears, then, that the vote on re peal was about 65 per cent, or a little less' than two thirds, of the.vote cast a year ago. Some of the repeal leaders are citing the relatively small vote as an explanation of the great anti-repeal majority. They say that the drys put out their full strength while the wets, over confident, and apathetic because they knew that the question of repeal was already settled in the nation, stayed away irorn the polls in great numbers. One hundred and four anti repeal delegates and 16 repeal delegates were elected to the convention that was turned down by the voters and will nev er be held. Os the more populous coun ties, only New Hanover and Durham went for repeal. In view of the dry landslide, the result in Durham was a great surprise, for it had been thought that anti-repeal sentiment was much stronger there than in (Continued on page two) Village for Repeal But Adverse Vote in Rest of County More Than Offsets Majority Mere Chapel Hill went for repeal in the election Tuesday, and it was the only precinct in Orange county that did. There were 438 votes for “Convention” and 277 for “No Convention.” (.'oi lier Cobb, repeal delegate, re ceived 428 votes against 280 cast for J. J. Ward, anti-repeal, delegate. The majority for repeal here was not nearly as great as the advocates of the cause had ex pected, and the result was tak en, and correctly, as a portent of defeat in the state. “If the margin is no larger than that,” said a repealist when Paul Rob ertson announced the final count, “there’s no hope for re * peal.” A telephone call to Carr boro brought the news that there the vote was 236 against a convention to 60 for, and 243 for Ward io 47 for Cobb. Thus, Chapel Hill and Carrboro to gether went 613 to 498 against repeal, and 523 for Ward to 475 for Cobb. Orange county voted against repeal by 1,169 to 807. Lewis to Make Address Here Ivey F. member of the University of Virginia faculty, will be here to deliver an ad dress before the Elisha Mitchell Scientific Society next Tuesday evening. The Chapel Hill Weekly LOUIS GRAVES Editor Chapel Hill Chaff Mr. Godbold, the Methodist pastor, came into the office Wed nesday and presented me three giant golden chrysanthemums. Maybe they were a consolation offering apropos of the defeat of repeal. They were splendid consolation, for they were as gorgeous blooms as ever I saw. It occurred to me that it would be only fair for me to offer Mr. Godbold a toddy in return. But I didn’t, for two reasons: first, he wouldn’t have accepted it, not being an addict; second, I didn’t have a toddy—at the moment. ♦ * * Oscar Hamilton is the only man I know who has been a witness of two football games at the same time. Not an eye-wit ness but an ear-witness. He at tended them by radio. He was eager to listen in on the Tulane-Colgate game last Saturday, and he was also keen ly interested in the Fordham- St. Mary’s game. Which should he choose? He answered the question by choosing both. A little portable radio which he had recently acquired was set up in the room with the regular family instrument; for an aer ial, it had a wire which was trailed along a curtain pole. Mr. Hamilton worked the but tons. When time was taken out in the Tulane-('olgate game, he would turn on the Fordham-St. (Continued on page four) Shu re Recital Nov. 15 Famous Composer and Organist Will Perform in Mill Music Hall Ralph Deane Shure, . noted American composer and organ ist, will play a recital in the Hill Music hall, at 8:30 next Wednesday evening, November 15. The concert is sponsored by Phi Mu Alpha, music fraternity, for the benefit of the Universi ty Glee Club. A small admis sion fee will be charged. Shore’s program ’ represents new and interesting music. It is entitled “Through Palestine” and is based on scenes in the Holy Land with Biblical ([notations as a guide to the listener’s ear. The music is modern in structure and impressionistic in its emo tional essence. This program was broadcast, over an international hook-up from Palestine last Easter on the occasion of a famous cere mony there. As a result of this, Shure will got to Palestine next Abgust to play it himself, fill ing a number of European en gagements on the same tour. In bringing Shure here Phi Mu Alpha is beginning a new venture that the fraternity hopes to make permanent. For the last two years they have brought an international artist, he re and expect to do so again this winter. But in addition to this single presentation, the group now proposes to bring in one or two well-known and thoroughly proven American musicians every season. The music department hopes that the reception accorded to Shure will justify a continuation of this plan. Tickets are on sale at the department office.

C„ FRIDAY NOVEMBER, 10, 1933 Guinea Glides Away Fowl, Dropped from Plane, Volplanes to Safety, Disappointing Boys One of the prizes at the air plane show recently, a free ride over Chapel Hill and the sur rounding country, was to go to the boy who caught the guinea that I. M. Tull was to drop out of an airplane. A great crowd of boys went out to the airport, every one of them hopeful that he would 'cajiture the guinea. When Mr. and Mrs. Tull were up about 500 feet, above the middle of the field, Mrs. Tull cast out the guinea, a eock of mature age. The sight of it, a dot against the sky, set the boys to cheering. They ran in the direction it seemed to be taking, expecting it to come to earth quickly. But the guinea-cock—perhaps instinct told him where liberty lay—had no idea of coming to earth perpendicularly. He glid ed, or volplaned, eastward; far, far away from the airport. From their plane the 'Fulls saw him disappear into the woods be yond the old Hillsboro road. But one of the boys, Loren McKinney, got a free ride, any way, by drawing a lucky num ber out of a hat. Green Play Presented Three Performances of “The House of Connelly” Are Given Here Paul Green’s “The House of Connelly,” was presented last week in the Haymakers Theatre. Every one of the three perform ances drew a large crowd. r Fhe play had not been seen in Chapel Hill before. It won a great success two years ago in New York, and this success was repeated here. Elmer Oettinger and Charles Lloyd distinguished themselves by their acting in the roles of Robert Connelly, the uncle, and William Byrd Connelly, and Patsy McMullen gave a convinc ing interpretation of Patsy 'Fate. Others in the east were Chris tine Maynard, Nannie Crowder, El Rita Brown, Kathleen Kra henbuhl, Beale Fletcher, Lottie Lane Joyner, and Flo Wilson. The effective settings were de signed by Samuel Selden and ex ecuted under the supervision of Harry Davis. The music was by the String fieid Trio Thursday and Satur day and by the Carolina Salon Ensemble Friday. A Joint Celebration M rs. John M. Booker's birth day, W. C. Coker’s birthday, and the Mangum’ wedding anniver sary come at about the same time, and the three families are accustomed, every year, to have a joint celebration; first at one home and then at the other. A shadow hovered over the pre parations for the party at Mr. Coker’s last Sunday evening be cause it was feared that Mr. Booker, who had gone to Wash ington with R. P. McClamroch, would not get back in time. But a plate was set for him. Just as the supper was about to be served a shaft of light from the McClamroch car headlights swept through the dining room window; the car came to a halt before the door; and Mr. Booker made a triumphant entrance to the accompaniment of cheers. The Carolina Playmakers ap peared in “The House of Con nelly” at the North Carolina College in Greensboro Wednes day evening. The Pay of Servants A Suggestion Is Made by the Cen tral Welfare Committee The Central Welfare Commit tee requests through George H. Lawrence, secretary, the puoli cation of the following state ment ; “It has been brought to the attention of the Committee that in certain instances in Chapel Hill Negro servants are being paid pitifully low wages for long hours of service. Although it is not the intention of the Committee to set a standard scale of pay for house servants at this time, the Committee recommends to the Chapel Hill public that due consideration be given to >llls situation. It is suggested that if families em ploying servants can pay only a portion of she wages paid two or three years ago they should expect only the same proportion in hours of work. For instance if $6.00 per week was paid two years ago and the employing family can now pay only $3.00, that family should require only half-time work rather than full time. “Also, it has been reported that occasionally a servant quits work or refuses to work be cause she can get a living through the relief organization and doesn’t, have to work. It is recommended in this connection that all such instances he re ferred to the relief office, phone 6811. “The fact that a member of a family is at work does not neces sarily mean that the family should not be on the relief list. In tin* event the income is in sufficient to meet the minimum needs of the family, supplemen tary relief may be provided.” Mrs. Fussler’s Recital She Will Appear in Church Audi torium Next Thursday Evening Mrs. Irene Fussier will give a dramatic recital at 8 o’clock next Thursday evening, the 16th, in the Sunday school audi torium of the Methodist church.
