*V*L 13. No. 13 Dr. Knox Writes Health Officer About Paralysis •Going to Camp Not Forbidden, but There Is Risk in All Children’s Gatherings UlO CASE YET IN ORANGE A letter about infantile par alysis, received by Health Of ficer Nathan from Dr. J. C. Knox of the State Board of Health, indicates that there will be no restrictions, either com pulsory or advisory, upon the at tendance at summer camps of boys and girls living in Chapel Hill. It is not regarded as prudent for young people to go to camp from localities where the dis ease has been prevalent. No case of infantile paralysis has yet occurred in this county. ‘X}amps in western North Carolina have much money in vested in equipment,” writes Dr. Knox, ‘‘and they are rather re luctant to close their camps, but would like to restrict their mem bership to campers who come from sections in which poliomy elitis (infantile paralysis) is not prevalent. This is possibly all right, yet there is potential danger in any gathering at the present time, especially of youngsters of the susceptible ages throughout the state. ‘‘There is an unusual preval ence of poliomyelitis through out the state; however most of it is in eastern North Carolina. Our knowledge of. this disease leads us to believe that there is a possibility of there being a greater number of cases during the months of June and July, probably the peak of incidence being reached in the first two weeks of August. If this disease should follow the expected course we are due to have cases in numbers sufficient to com prise an epidemic. “Since these cases have begun to increase, the State Board of (Continued on loot page) Creech Sails on Normandie Walter Creech sailed on the French liner Normandie, the new Queen of the Seas, last Fri day. Because his passport had not arrived he thought he could not make the connection in New York. But as he was walking up the street Thursday he met the postman, and the postman said: “Here’s a registered let ter for you from Washington." It was the passport, and Mr. Creech caught a train from Greensboro that night. Dr. Hooker Injured In Fall Dr. Hooker's hip was injured when he had a fall in his home one day this week. He is in Watte hospital. The Engineering School to Move to Raleigh The University trustees voted 58 to 11, at their meeting here Tuesday, to accept President Graham's recommendation that the engineering schools in Chap el. Hill and Raleigh be consoli dated into one school at the State College in Raleigh. It will take three years to complete the con solidation. There will be no new registration in the school hare, but students who began xheir course m freshmen last fall will complete It in Chapel Hill. The seven principal points ip President Graham’s report on llniversity consolidation are.* » The Chapel Hill Weekly iQU^-gRAVES Dr. Mangum Tells ©f Health Service Proposed lor Three-County District At the request of the editor Dr. Mangum has written this ar ticle about the public health ser vice proposed for a district made up of Orange, Person, and Cas well counties. The offer of the Government to bear a large share of the cost of the enter prise presents a remarkable op portunity for the three counties to obtain, for a small expendi ture on their part, a service con ducted by highly trained experts in accord with the latest ap proved ideas in the science of preventive medicine. By Dr. Charles S. Mangum During the fall quarter of 1934 the school of public ad ministration of the University, in cooperation with the school of medicine, the school of engineer ing and the staff of the North Carolina State Board of Health, conducted a twelve-weeks course in the field of public health ad ministration.

This initial effort to render assistance in this impor tant field succeeded far beyond expectations and won the ap proval and the support of not on ly the North Carolina Board of Health but the United States Public Health Service as well. Because of the demand for such a course it was decided to repeat it during the winter quar ter, during which term the work was taken, not only by North Carolina physicians, but by others who were directed here by the public health depart ments of other states. The United States Public Health Service was desirous of having the course given the third time, during the spring quarter, but since the length of the course would necessitate its being con tinued beyond the scholastic year of the University, and be cause of our inability to ar range for certain instruction (Continued on page three) work, the housing program, and views of mountains and forests and rivers and farms and cities.

It was my old friend, Dr. Eben Alexander, now of Knoxville, Tennessee, with his wife and Eben, Jr. They took me aboard and we rode around the village for a few minutes. “Are you drinking any high ’balls these days?” I asked the doctor, knowing hiip to be an ardent teetotaler. “No," he replied firmly, “and I wish I could persuade you never to drink another one.” I made some allusion to the fact that in his youth he had been a rollicking blade, but he evinced no keen desire to remi nisce about that. “What are you now, an elder or a deacon?” I asked. “Now, if I told you, you wouldn’t* know the difference be tween ’em,” so he' didn’t tell me. “How are the cock-fights get ting along?” I asked. His solemn mien was suddenly abandoned. He smiled broadly, and in his eyes was a glitter such as you see when you mention ice cream to a child. “I’ve got three game chickens that are the pink of the cock fighting aristocracy of Tennes see,” he said. “I have had a lot more, but I’ve given away about twenty-five this year.” “Whenever I hear a broken down, rickety old Ford rattling into the yard,” put in Mrs. Alex ander, “I know it is some farmer coming with another gamecock.” , I inquired which wjnj jpore seemly in a deacon (or elder), drinking highballs qr cock-fight ing, but we never did settle that. (Continued on loot page) $65 Prize Tonight Holder of Lucky Number to Get Accu mulation of Other Weeks The cash prize this (Friday) evening at the Carolina theatre will be 365. It has mounted to this figure because in the last three weeks the holder of the lucky number was notC at the theatre when the drawing was made. Hitherto the weekly prize has been sls, but now it has been raised to S2O. So, for this eve ning S2O is added to the accu mulated and unclaimed $45. The old registration has been canceled, and a new registra tion is now in progress. Any body may get a number by ask ing for it at the theatre. Mrs. R. H. Sherrill was the person who lost $45 by not be ing present when her number was announced last week. The drawing takes place at about 9 o'clock every Friday evening. To get the money the holder of the lucky number must have bought that day a theatre ticket (which, however, may be used on any later day) and must be, if not in the theatre, within sound of a call from the door. Francis Speight’s Exhibit Francis Speight will have 20 paintings on exhibit in the Hill Music hall from June 25 to July 15. Mr. Speight is conducting a class in landscape and portrait painting during the first term of the summer session.

Sommer Session Hawnrn Begin Today, with Large Enrollment Chapel Hillians Who Are Going to Europe Miss Mary Tliornton and Mrs. A. W. Hobbs set out yesterday for Norfolk and will sail from there today on the City of Ham burg. During most of their time in Europe they will be in Grenoble, France. They found out day before yesterday that the Holbrooks and Miss Johnsie Bason were to be on the same boat. Miss Johnsie is helping take care of the Holbrook baby. She will visit the home of her mother’s ancestors near Strassburg. Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Coker and John Couch are to sail toward the end of August, to attend the International Botany Congress in Amsterdam. They will re turn in time for the opening of the University in mid-Septem ber. Mr. Coker and Mr. Couch are the Southern scientists who have been asked to read papers at the Congress. The Bus Line Argument It Is at Last in Progress In Raleigh after Many Postponements The lawyers’ argument before the State Utilities Commission in Raleigh, on the Greyhound Lines’ application for a fran chise to operate busses between Greensboro and Raleigh byway of Chapel Hill, is at last in prog ress. It began yesterday and will continue today. The interest of the people here, in the proposal, seems to have been largely dissipated by the repeated postponements of the hearing. The Carolina Coach Company, which operates the bus line be tween here and Durham, is bit terly opposing the Greyhound application. It says that the new service is not seriously needed and that the Carolina* Company would be ruined by the competition. Civic bodies in Durham are also in opposition because they do not want to see traffic taken away from that city. Unusual Student House To Bo Erected This Sommer on the West Edg# of the Campos A house different from any structure that Chapel Hill has ever known is about to rise on a lot on the west edge of the Uni versity campus hack of Swain hall and just across the way from the Graduate Club. It is to be a dormitory, or, rather, a sort of club, in which only five students are to be quartered: a freshman and a sophomore, a Wines Are Being Sold in Chapel Hill Wines are being sold openly, and in considerable quantity, at the Carolina Coffee Shop in Chapel Hill. Bottles bearing the trademarks of well-known brands—French, Italian, Hun garian, and domestic—are dis played in the windows., “We have nearly exhausted our supply," said George Lives, the proprietor yesterday, “but we will have another shipment coming in soon." Asked if any objection to the sale had been made by the authorities, Mr. Uvas said no. The last legislature legalized the sale of wine made in North Carolina but retained the pro hibition against wipe brought from other state*. It has beenj sl-50 a Year la Advance. Sea Cepjr Director Knight Will Include As Many Regular Session Features As Possible TERM WILL END JULY 24 With enrollment increased by 20 per cent over last year, classes in the first term of the summer session will begin at 8 o’clock this (Friday) morning. In a conservative estimate based on advance room reservations and other factors, Edgar W. Knight, director, said yesterday that he expected last summer’s registra tion of 943 to be exceeded by about 300 or 400 students. Indications are that enroll ment at Raleigh and Greens boro will also be larger thaw last year. As many regular session fea tures as possible will be includ ed in the two summer terms, al though many extra-curricular activities cannot be maintained. Student government will be or ganized under the leadership of Francis Fairley. The Playmak ers will present one perform ance either indoors <or in the Forest Theatre. The combined Y. W.-Y. M. C.

There are a lounge, a reception room, a big sleeping porch; and five little rooms that are called loges. Each of these is for one of the five students.
