N* tt, Comity Provides Free Inoculation Against Typhoid First Clinic in Hillsboro To morrow; One Is Scheduled Here Next Wednesday PROCLAMATION SENT OUT Free inoculation against ty phoid for everybody in Orange county who needs it—which means everybody who has not received the treatment in the last three years—is announced by Dr. G. H. Sumner of the 'United States Health Service, who is now Acting Health Of ficer for the county. The first clinic will be held to morrow (Saturday) in Hills boro; for white people from 9 to 12:30 in the courthouse in the imorning, for Negroes from 1:30 to 2:30 at the school in the af ternoon. The first clinic in Chapel Hill is scheduled for next Wednesday, the 10th, at the white school from 9:30 to 1, at :the Negro school from 2 to 4. The proclamation of the cam paign against typhoid has been printed on placards which are being posted all over the county. “Inoculation with typhoid fever vaccine,*' says this proc lamation, signed by Dr. Sum ner, “has been one of the major factors in the number of deaths and cases in our state. Take it—your neighbor may be •careless. Three treatments of typhoid fever vaccine are neces sary. It is harmless—-practical ly a certain preventive and al jnost painkaa. Remember your (twmKtud m tad papsjr Three Students Killed And a Fourth Injured, in an Auto mobile Accident on Durham Road Three students in the Univer sity summer session were killed and a fourth was seriously in jured late Wednesday afternoon when the light coach in which they were riding at high speed got out of control near the Glen ridge filling station about six miles from Chapel Hill on the Durham road. T. A. Fulghum, Jr., of Dan ville, Va., Miss Frances Dancy McGraw of Fitzgferaid, Ga., and Sam S. Hermon of West Ches ter, Pa., were killed. Miss Grayce Peele of Rich Square, N. C., had her collar-bones and several ribs .broken and was badly lacerated. Now in a hospital in Durham, she is expected to recover. Fulghum had a deformed right arm and was driving with his left arm. The automobile, coming to ward Chapel Hill, apparently got out of control about 115 yards oast of the filling station, and -aft£r going about 80 yards on its wheels began to roll over and over. Miss McGraw died in a few minutes, Fulghum on the way to the hospital, and Hermon -about half past eight o’clock in the hospital. Mrs. Felix Riggsbee, an at tendant at the filling station, and a passerby put the four stu dents into an automobile and .took them to the hospital. The McCor kies’ Recital Mr. and Mrs. T. Smith McCor- Ttle will give a violin and piano redial at 8:30 Sunday evening In the Hfll Music hall, their only performance in Chapel Hill this summer. There will be no ad-, mission charge, and the public is cordially invited. Mr. and Mrs. McCorkle returned recently from a year’s leave of absence. The Chapel HOI Weekly LOUIS GRAVES Editor Josepkus Daniels above the Clouds When I read that the floods had prevented Ambassador Jose phus Daniels from . completing his trip to Mexico City by train, and that he had taken a plane at the border, I wrote and asked him to write me a letter about the flight. This is his re ply.—L.G. You ask me to write you about my flight to Mexico City. You say that “no matter how much I hear and read about aviation it never ceases to be a romance to me.” You express my feel ing exactly. Though I have been flying now and then since May 1913, I never go up in a plane without a thrill or read about aviators making new records without a feeling that there is something akin to the miraculous about a man invading what was once the undisputed realm of the bird.

Mrs. Harvey Bennett was in Dunn with relatives this* week. 'ifc • " , CHAPEL HILL, N. C„ FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1935 flight at an altitude of 15,000 feet to reach Jrtexico City, let me relate the feeling among my associates when I flew, over the Severn river in May 1913. I had not planned a flight, but when I was in Annapolis it was suggested that I visit the small aviation base at that Navy cen tre. Upon my arrival Com mander Towers, one of the first and best of navy aviators, sug gested that he would like to be my pilot in a flight over the Naval Academy. I had seen it from land and sea. Why not in-' spect it from the air? It was a warm day, 'but it was. neces sary to borrow an overcoat, for the simple planes of that day had no protection from the coolness of the upper air. We went up something over 1,000 feet and came down safely on the waters of the Severn river. “Look, look in the sky,” said (Continued on page two) Conference Speakers Higher Education Conference guest lecturers during the past week includ ed Dean Paul C. Packer of the State University of lowa and President James L. Meader of Russell Sage Coi? lege, Troy, N. Y.

Mary on Saun ders, secretary of the General Alum ni Association, and Felix A. Grisette, director of the Alumni Loyalty Fund. gammer Coal Prices The University Consolidated Ser vice Plants has announced its schedule of reduced coal prices for the summer. Chapel Hill Chaff Chapel Hill is a heaven for rabbits. Not only because of the great area of yards and gar dens and vacant lots, and the excellent hiding places in under brush and shrubbery, but also because of the indulgence of the population. Often I reflect upon the change that has come about in the feeling toward animals, specially birds and rabbits, since I was a boy here. It was the usual thing then for boys to go out and rob birds’ nests, and a collection of bird eggs was to be found in almost every home; and a rabbit was something to be shot at whenever it came into view. In these days children are brought up to be friendly to wild life, and grown people of the more civilized sort have been educated out of the savagery that was once part of their na ture —at least to the degree that they do not kill wantonly. Nor dics and Latins and Slavs are still more brutal to dumb crea tures than Hindus, but they are less brutal than they used to be. Hardly ever do I go out of the house that I do not see a rabbit scampering across the yard or along the stone wall, and they are frequently seen in the middle of the street. Automobilists slow' down to let them get out of the way. Now and then a boy or girl is thrilled by the discov ery of a nest of baby rabbits, under a bush or in a thicket. Not long ago my young neighbor, Dan Hamilton, came upon one of these infants in the open. If had evidently been lost, and Dan took it home and cared for it. When I saw it, it was sucking milk through a nipple. Our Scotch terrier passes a (Continued on latt page) Fishing Ends Tomorrow After two weeks of what vil lage fishing enthusiasts are un animous in describing as fine sport, the preliminary fishing season in the yniversity lake will close tomorrow (Saturday) night. Mrs. Jo Sparrow and Judge C. P. Hinshaw landed the largest fish of the week, bass weighing 3% and 3% pounds, and T. E. Best caught the bag limit twice. It is estimated that over 100 fishermen have tried their luck during the fwo-weeks period. The largest catches have been made in the shallow water at the mouths of the tributary creeks. J. S. Bennett, head of the University Consolidated Service Plants, says that more bass, crappie, and perch from federal and state hatcheries will be put in the lake this month or next. It has not yet been sufficiently stocked to be opened permanent ly for fishing, but it will be ready either this fall or in June of next year.

Bost. About a month ago the draw ing of Mr. Boat’s ticket from the box entitled him to $45. His name was called first inside the theatre and then on the side walk at the entrance. The rule is that unless the holder of the lucky number is present to ans wer the call he gets nothing, and the week’s prize is added to the next week’s. Mr. Bost was in Eubanks’ drugstore, close by yet far enough away to be out of hearing. Last Friday Mrs. Boat’s num ber was drawn. If she had been there she would have got $40 — but she wasn’t there. The S4O is held over, and tonight the person who is lucky enough to hold the number drawn from the box, if also lucky enoiigh to be present, will receive S6O. Applications to P.W.A.

The plans for the white school show the present building re tained as the east wing, for the high school. A duplicate of it will ibe the west wing, for the elementary school. The central unit, with a colonnaded facade in the Grecian style, set back from the front line of the wings, will be the auditorium. This unit will be connected with the wings by covered corridors which form, architecturally and for practical purposes, integral parts of the whole structure. The west wing and the great er part of the auditorium will stand on the lot where the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity house (the formgr Hume house) now stands. A rear addition to the pres ent building, new floors, and an addition to the gymnasium are embraced in the plans.
