VaL IS. No. It Health Officer Advises Parents About Paralysis Children Should Be Kept from Crowded Places Where They Might Receive Infection NO CASE IN ORANGE YET “People should not be alarmed about infantile paralysis, but they should be cautious,” said Dr. S. A. Nathan, the municipal health officer, yesterday. “No case of the disease has yet been reported in Orange county, and the chances of its occurring here will be greatly reduced if parents will carry out the recommenda tions of the United States Pub lic Health Service and the North Carolina Board of Health.” Dr. Nathan and Dr. Reece Berryhill, University physician, held a conference about infan tile paralysis this week, and later Dr. Nathan consulted Clyde Eubanks, chairman of the board of aldermen’s health committee about the precautionary mea sures to be taken. At the three swimming pools near the village Sparrow’s, Hogan’s, and the one at the Uni versity lake, have been posted signs (supplied by Mr. Eubanks) requesting that no children un der 15 years old be allowed In the pools. Parents are request «t not to let small children at tend the movies and other amusements. Sunday school classes for small children have been discontinued. “We are asking that teachers and students Hi-tto summer (Continued on hut page) Came, Got $65, Went Miss Marianne Nelson of Ran dolph-Maoon College in Lynch burg came to Chapel Hill Sun day before last to visit Mrs. Os car Hamilton. She had been here only a day when she was smitten by a stroke of hard luck. Her eye be came infected. She couldn't go around the campus and the vil lage, she couldn’t take in the Commencement festivities, she couldn’t do anything but stay in the house and have her eye treated. By Friday she was well again, and she and her hostess decided to go to the movies that evening. At the suggestion of Mrs. Ham ilton, before she entered the the atre she registered in the book at the box-office and received a card with a number on it. The movies were interrupted for a few minutes, at about 9 o’clock, for the weekly drawing. A card was drawn from a box, and the number on it was an nounced. The number was Miss Nelson’s. She got $65 and four cartons of Lucky Strikes. McGure Has Set Out on Another Tour Spec McClure of the Orange Printshop staff has set out on another of his summer adven tures. His companion on past tours, Bob Moore, will stay in Chapel Hill to operate a linotype machine, and McClure will be ac companied by E. J. Withrow, who was graduated from the University last week. Both the young men come from Forest •City in Rutherford county. They sailed from New.

It-is, in fact, a great part of the time, an extremely noisy place. As sweet Auburn is cele brated as Loveliest Village'of the Plain, so, sometimes, I think that Chapel Hill should be known as the Village of* Abominable Noises. The University has the dis tinction of being the chief noise maker. The ceaseless throbbing of its power-house engine is heard, hours on end, all over the campus and the village. The power-house being just across the way from the Carolina Inn, visitors in Chapel Hill get the full impact of the curse. Rufus L. Patterson, who re ceived an honorary degree at this last Commencement, was here on a visit four or five years ago. He told me how he had en joyed going about and seeing the old buildings he had known in his student days, the Arboretum, SUMMER SESSION BULLETIN FRIDAY, JUNE 21 10 A. M.—F. L.

"Our plan is to go from Spain along the Riviera to Italy,” said McClure when he left Chapel Hill last week. “Then well go to Austria and Germany. We want to get as close a view as we can of the countries and the people.” On his tour with Moore last summer, stopping at farms and wayside inns and along the road sides, McClure became acquaint ed with a great many young men in Germany, and this made him keenly interested in "the youth movement" * CHAPEL HILL, N.

There was just one fly in the ointment. “Why can’t they stop the noise of that power-house?” he asked in a rather plaintive tone. “Couldn’t they put on a muffler?” Another alumnus who has talked to me about thte particular noise is Judge Robert W. Winston, who lives at the Inn several weeks every year; and *He has sent a protesting letter to the Univer sity authorities. Money. Everywhere you turn, you come across some urgent need that cannot be met because money is lacking. When every available, cent, and more, is needed for books for the Library, for laboratory supplies and equipment, and for building re pairs, when salaries are still be low a reasonable level, naturally the University finds it impossible to make expenditures for any thing not absolutely essential.

Chapel Hill Chaff Poetic sentiments may not commonly be considered an es sential quality in a highway en gineer, but I wish that all road designers and constructors were endowed with the tastes and ten der loyalties of Will C. Kancy, who recently supervised the widening operation beyond the Carolina Inn. If they were, our own and other states would have more beautiful highways. I wrote to Highway Commissioner Capus Waynick beseeching him not ,to let the big oak near the railway underpass be cut down. He was sympathetic and lost no time in passing my prayer on to the resident engineer. Pres ently I received from Mr. Kancy a letter containing this passage: “Twenty-one years ago I first stood under the shade of , this stately oak. Today I look upon her and observe the ravages of time. Some of her once leafy arms have become withered and decayed, and robins have ceased to build nests in her hair. Time is slowly but surely taking its toll; the once majestic tree is fighting a losing battle and too soon, perhaps, will this old oak lie down upon the bosom of Mother Earth from whence she sprang, there to rest forever more. But disturb her now, we will not. With the approval of the entire Highway Commission, and of myself as resident engi neer in charge of this project, the oak will not become a victim of the woodman’s axe.” • * • Through the college year John M, Booker occupies a kma emi nence as Chapel Hill’s only con sumer of Richmond Straight Cuts, the ancient and honorable (Continued on loot page) Registration Low Here The final total registration in the summer session at Chapel Hill is 891, and in the Greater University is approximately 1,800. The enrollment here is far be low expectations, but the total of the three institutions is high er than last year. Neighboring schools, like Wake Forest, and higher educational institutions in geperal, have shown a great er proportionate increase than the University. Director Knight points out that the registration at Chapel Hill for the first term this year would be in excess of the 943 students in the first session last year if 77 public administrators here then, whose tuition was paid by the federal Government, were subtracted. Some persons think the low registration may be due to con solidation and the trustees’ lat est rulings with regard to that subject. The validity of this ex planation will be partially ascer tained when analyses of regis tration by departments have been prepared. These will show, for example, whether the Wo man’s College received most of the elementary education stu dents who proposed to register at Chapel Hill. Salaries will not be affected by registration, because, for the first time in summer session his tory, they are guaranteed by contracts. Jack Andrews’ Ribs Broken Jack Andrews broke two ribs Monday while catching min nows for a fishing trip. He went fishing anyway and has been able to stay up afid attend to his grocery business, Change in Flans for Spending Work Relief Fond Will Throw Useful Projects into Discard Year’s Longest Day Today, the 21st of June, is the longest day of the year. The almanac shows that in this latitude the sun rises at 4:34 and sets at 7:29—14 hours and 55 minutes of daylight, not counting the fainter but yet con siderable light before sunrise and after sunset. Most people think of June 1 as the first day of the sum mer season, but by astronomi cal calculations June 21, which marks the summer solstice, is the beginning of summer. That is, in the temperate zone, north of the equator. In the south temperate zone, the seasons are reversed and summer begins December 21. It is because the earth’s axis is tilted away froma perpendicu lar to the orbit around the sun that there are seasonal changes. Only in March and September is the axis at right angles to the direction of the sun. In those months occur the equinoxes, when day and night are equal the world over. The Dormitories Some Campus Buildings Allocated to Women Students, Others to Men Spencer hall and Old West, Old East, Steele, and possibly Grimes and Manly dormitories will be operated for women students during the summer session. The Graduate Club and Carr, Battle, Vance, and Pettigrew dormitories will be available for men. Married couples will oc cupy Graham. The hostesses in the women’s dormitories are: Spencer, Mrs. Irene Lee, the regular hostess there; Old West, Miss Lucille Hunt and Miss Mary Kapp; Old East, Mrs. J. S. Hunter and Miss Cleva Godwin; Steele, Miss Olivia Harmon and Miss Louisa Hatch; Grimes, Miss Hester Struthers and Miss Willie Ruth Blackburn; Manly, Mrs. R. J. Sledge and Miss Meta Liles, Ex cept for Miss Hatch and Miss Liles, all these ladies have serv ed as summer session hostesses before. Mrs. Pearl Holt, who has been hostess in Graham this year, will retain that position during the summer. All the dormitories have been screened reconditioned. Children’s Camping Canceled Because of the prevalence of infantile paralysis, the Episco palians have decided not to hold camps for children this summer at Vade Mecum. One of the Pleasantest Drives Hereabouts Most people in Chapel Hill, when they go out for automobile drives, go along the paved roads. To my mind, this is a mistake. The main-traveled highways are crowded with traffic, and on them you get no relief from noise and bustle. Furthermore, since you are so familiar with them, they get to be monoto nous, ———— — r The unfrequented roads around the village are the best for pleasure-driving. At places they are a trifle rough, but what of that? Modern shock-absorbers, if you don’t go too fast, nullify most of the roughness. I commend highly this drive: out to the west end of Cameron avenue, beyond the laundry; turn $1.50 a Year ia Advance. 5c a Copy So Much Money Allotted to La bor That Requirements for Materials Can’t Be Met A REVERSAL IS HOPED FOR The change of policy by the Roosevelt Administration, with respect to spending the 5-billion dollar fund recently appropriated by Congress, seems likely to throw into discard many of the public improvement projects about to be launched by the P.W.A. under the plan previous ly approved and announced. It appears that about the only hope for these projects lies in another reversal of policy in Washington; that is, in a return to the original plan. There are some observers who think that such a reversal, either complete or nearly so, is inevitable if the drive for recovery through pub lic works is to be successful. Here in Chapel Hill, the Uni versity and the town have con sidered applying for Government aid, under the P.W.A. partici pating {dan, in construction run ning to several hundred thou sand dollars. Under the new scheme the financing of the pro posed work will be impossible for the reason that such a great proportion of all the money must be expended on labor that not nearly enough will be left for the necessary materials. Municipal and school officials all over North Carolina fear that, unless the change an nounced from Washington with in the last week is reconsidered, construction projects, many of which have almost reached the point of final approval under the previous P.W.A. plan schools, (Continued on loot page) The Garden Gub The Chapel Hill Garden Club will meet at 5 o’clock Monday afternoon at the home of Mrs. N.
