When they reach the Duke campus they will be met by officers of the univer sity and escorted over the grounds and through the build ings.

They will go to the Carolina Inn for luncheon, and will receive a welcome from cither President Graham or Dean House on behalf of the University. D. D.

A. Nathan said that no case of in fantile paralysis had been dis covered in Chapel Hill, or else where in Orange county. Reports of the appearance of »the disease in various parts of the state had naturally caused some uneasi ness among parents. ‘‘Although this disease has appeared in some communities in North Carolina,” said Dr. Nathan, “I do not think there is any cause for people in Chapel Hill to be alarmed. It is a puz zling disease, and of course it may crop up anywhere, but the chances of its attacking any household are very small.” Infantile paralysis is what physicians call “slightly infec tious.” The chief precaution they advise is: keep your children away from localities where it is known to exist. Dr. J. C. Knox, state epidemi Mrs. Roosevelt to Make Address Here President’s Wife Accepts Invitation to Speak at Commencement Mrs. Anna Elinor Roosevelt, wife of the President of the United States, will deliver the Commencement address at the University. The final exercises at which she is to speak will be held Tuesday evening, June 11, in the Kenan stadium. This is the first time in the history of the institution that a woman has been selected as the Commencement speaker. 1716 invitation was delivered to Mrs. Roosevelt in Washing ton recently by Ambassador Josephus Daniels, a trustee of the University. Mr. Daniels will be here at Commencement and will return to Mexico City soon afterward. Commencement wfill began Sunday, June 9, with the bacca laureate sermon. The Chapel Hill Choral Society will sing an oratorio that evening. Monday the 12th will be Alumni Day. An assembly of the reunion classes in Gerrard hall will be followed by a luncheon in Swain hall. The Alumni Re ception and Ball will take place in the evening. Tuesday events will be the class day exercises, the contests for the Bingham and Mangum medals, and the final graduation exercises in the stadium.

C„ FRIDAY, MAY 24, 1935 ologist, said in Raleigh that the flare-up of infantile paralysis gave no sign of reaching an epi demic stage, only twelve cases having been reported, and those from widely scattered sections. The first death (of Hugh Lowe, Jr., 7 years old) occurred in Wilmington day before yester day. \ Clinics for vaccination against diphtheria and typhoid will be held in this county, beginning at the end of next week. There is no charge for the service. The physicians of the county admin ister the treatment, and the serum is provided by the state. For diphtheria, only children under 10 years old who have not yet been immunized need to be vaccinated. For typhoid, persons of all ages, whose previous im munization has had time to “wear off,” should be vaccinated. The clinics will be held in school houses. Baity Will Continue As Chief of P.W.A. To Keep Office Here While He Direct* Improvements in State Herman G. Baity, who is on leave of absence from the Uni versity’s engineering school, will continue to be the chief of the Public Works Administration in North Carolina. The rumor pub lished Wednesday that he will move his headquarters to Ral eigh is not correct. He will keep his office in Chapel Hill. The new set-up decreed in Washington provides for a greater degree of decentraliza tion than has hitherto prevailed, and this means that heavier re sponsibilities will fall upon Mr. Baity as a state chief. Several legal and engineering experts from Washington are to be add ed to his staff. The men who have been in charge of the P.W.A. legal and financial divisions for this state will retain their posts. Charles N. Malone of Asheville will di rect the legal work, and H. Berg strom will head the financial division. Senator Bailey has announced that he will undertake to get the Government to establish a na tional park between Manteo and Hatteras. Leroy Martin, secre tary of the State School Commis sion, says he hopes to obtain a federal grant ifor the construc tion of school buildings. Andrews Boy Dies of Burns Homer Andrews, Jr., 13 years old, died yesterday in Burling ton from burns received Wednes day night in his father’s drug store. The burns were caused by an alcohol explosion that oc curred when the boy sought to refill a small heating apparatus that, unknown to him, had not cooled. Jack Andrews, Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Hill, and Miss Nell Andrews went to Burling ton when they were notified of the accident. W. 8. Roberson Is Better W. S. Roberson was taken to 1 Watts hospital, seriously ill, Sunday. After he had received a blood transfusion he was much better, and yesterday he was < able to read a newspaper ana talk i to a visitor. • The Firemen’s Barbecue t The Chapel Hill firemen had a barbecue Tuesday evening at thair cabin in-the Morgan Crude I valley near the Pittsboro road. 1 Chapel Hill Chaff From the announcements that have come from the Playmakers about the orchestra, the songs, and the dances, one might get the impression that Mr. Koch was turning “Hamlet” into a musical show. Do not misunder stand me. They are not promis ing anything on the order of Ai Jolson or Paul Whiteman or an Earl Carroll ballet. It is all going to be dignified and stately, to fit in properly with the solemn dia logue and the poisonings and stabbings that go on in Elsinore Castle. Still, there is going to be a lot of music, and to my mind any music, no matter how mel ancholy, will have the effect of jazzing Hamlet down somewhat nearer to the level of the taste of the ordinary wayfarer. So, I give my hearty approval to the mus ical preparations. The winning Miss Patsy Mc- Mullan, as Ophelia, will sing a group of songs composed by Brahms. She can make them sound as sad as she pleases, but, as I look and listen, they won’t be sad to me. The University Symphony Orchestra will play the tunes composed by Sir George Henschel for the play. And the combined men’s and women’s Glee Clubs of the Uni versity will sing the funeral and other chants. Mast of these sing ers will be off-stage, but a few will be visible. It was for the celebrated act ress, Olga Precheisen, that (Continued on latt page) U.N.C. Wins Track Meet 11 r Comes Out First in Southern Confer ence Tournament at Duke Scoring. 58 points in the track meet last Saturday at Duke, the University of North Carolina succeeded in retaining the South ern Conference title. Maryland made 49 3-4 points, Duke 47 1-2, Clemson 20 1-4, Virginia 19 1-4, Washington and Lee 10, V.M.1., 8, V.P.I. 6 3-4, N. C. State 5, and South Carolina 1-2. One of the results that sur prised and grieved the spectators from Chapel Hill was the defeat of Harry Williamson by Moth ershead of V.P.I. in the mile run; but a little while later they were cheered by seeing William son overtake Headley of Mary land in the last lap and win the half-mile. Frank Abernethy, leading the field all the way, won the 120- yard high hurdles. He set a conference record with 14.8 seconds. Carolina’s third vic tory came in the shot put, when Tom Evins made a heave of 47 feet, 1-2 inch. Early Widmyer of Maryland won both the 100-yard and the 220-yard dashes. Maryland won the one-mile relay. Band to Give Outdoor Concert The University Band will play its second lawn concert at 5 o’clock Sunday afternoon under the Davie Poplar. Everybody is invited. This will be the last per formance of the band befors Commencement week. Singing at the School Today The music classes of the Chapel Hill school will give a song recital at 2 o’clock today (Friday) to the school auditori um. The public is invited.

Projects for Which Town Will Seek Government Aid Call for Expenditure of Abont $85,000 To Study Parking Aldermen and Merchant* Co-operate in Effort to Solve Problem The aldermen have appointed a committee to confer with a committee of the Merchants’ Association on the subject of parking, on the main street of the village. The town govern ment is represented by Clyde Eubanks, P. L. Burch, Mayor Foushee, and Town Manager Caldwell, the association by L. J: Phipps, Robert Fowler and E. C. Smith. The main question is: What can be done to make the park ing space available to a greater number of people, especially those who patronize the stores? As it is now, many of the merchants and their Employees park their cars on the business block early in the morning and leave them there during the greater part of the day. It seems that to end this unsatisfactory condition, the aldermen may have to place a limit on the time that a car may remain in one place. Durham Disposed to Absorb This Village Looks as if City Is Going to Turn Chapel Hill into a Suburb Is Chapel Hill going to be ab sorbed by Durham as a suburb? There seems to be a movement in that direction. A few years ago I chronicled in these columns the marketing in Durham of a souvenir post card bearing a photograph of the campus here and the caption, “University of North Carolina, Durham, N. C.” And now I see in the Durham Herald, a des patch from Northampton, Mass., telling of the election of Chapel Hill’s Miss Afarianna Taylor to the vice-presidency of her class in Smith College, and the head line over the despatch is: “Smith College Honors Durham Girl." If Durham is determined to take in Chapel Hill, it had better bestir itself, first, to merge Duf ham and Orange counties/ It is not legal in North Carolina for one town to be in two counties. Grumman on Cruise to Bermuda R. M. Grumman left Wednes day for New York to visit his mother before sailing tomorrow (Saturday) on a nine-day cruise to Bermuda. T ■ ■ Thirty-eight students have been admitted to the first-year class in the University medical school for the year 1986-36. “Hamlet” in the Forest Theatre This Evening 1 “Hamlet” will be presented by the Carolina Playmakers at 8:30 this (Friday) evening in the Forest Theatre on the edge of Battle Park, and again at 8:30 tomorrow evening. If bad weath er prevents the performances this week they will be given Monday and Tuesday evenings. Holders of Playmaker season tickets do not have to pay an ad mission fee.

SesCsff’ Program Embraces toriaerator, More Street Surfacing, and Work at Disposal Plant a ALSO A NEW TOWN HALL How much will Chape) HID get, from the Government’s new five-bill ion-dollar relief fund, for public improvements? Os course, nobody knows. But this is known: that the town which has its application all pre pared, with blue prints and specifications and other detailed information, when the Govern ment machinery gets ready to move, has a far better chance • for a share of the fund than the town which is not able to tell promptly what it wants and why. So, the Chapel Hill aider men have laid out a program and made estimates of costs, and they are on the alert to step up to the counter at the sound of the gong. That the C.W.A. gave a sym pathetic ear to the requests of the University and Chapel Hill winter before last, and launched valuable projects here so rapidly was due largely to the fact that, when it was about to begin oper ations, the University and Chap el Hill authorities were ready to submit definite proposals to proper form. The projects included in the town’s program call for an esti mated expenditure of about $85,000. Naturally, the carrying out of the program will depend upon how much money the Gov ernment decides to grant, and upon the terms of the grant. It (Continued on laet page) Garden Club Meeting The May meeting of the Chap el Hill Garden Club will be held at 4 o’clock Monday afternoon in the Sunday school room of the Presbyterian church. R. J.
