Page Six School Plans Outlined Bmrycmtt sad Gay B. Pfcffiipi Talk «T PtifnH at P.TJL Meeting About 125 parents attended the P. T. A- meeting at the high school last week and heard Sup erintendent A. W. Honeycutt outline his school program for the year. Mr. Honeycutt announced that a revised individual report card, similar to the one used for the first three grades last year, would be used this year for the entire elementary school. The card contains a personality and proficiency analysis and is ex pected to encourage the pupil to compete with himself against his own record. One of the school’s chief ob jects this year will be to reduce the number of failures. Mr. Honeycutt looks forward to the time when such activities as band, glee club, sports, hobby clubs, and health work, all of which are now considered extra curricular. will be a part of the regular school program. Guy B Phillips, chairman of the program committee, said that in November, January, March, and April the organiza tion would conduct two pro grams on the third Tuesday of the month, one for the elemen tary' school, to be held in the af ternoon, and one for the high school to be held at night. There will be general meetings in Feb ruary and May. At the November meetings Miss Ruth Hunter, principal of the elementary school, will tell of extra-curricular activities in grades below the seventh, and W. H. Shaw, principal of the Needham Broughton high school in Raleigh, will discuss extra curricular activities in the high school. Among the other speakers who will address the P. T. A. this year are Miss Ruth Fitzger ald of the Woman’s College in Greensboro (topic, character training); Key L. Barclay, also of the Woman’s College (emo tional and social problems of the adolescent)Roben J. Maaske of the University (guidance in the elementary school) ; W. D. Perry of the University (com mon sense in guidance); Mrs. Fred Fletcher, recreational di rector (a recreational program for Chapel Hill children); and Miss Mary Coleman of the Wo man's College (common sense in recreation). Potts leaves University Ramsay Potts, campus leader and crack tennis player, resigned from the University this week and has gone to Greenville where he has a job with the Blount- Harvey Company. Potts said he vtes leaving the University be cause, when he had been asked: "Do you receive any financial aid ih attending this institution from any other person than the one upon whom you are naturally dependent?", he had answered: "No.” In resigning this week he said that at the time he answered the question he was receiving his tuition from an unrevealed source. . School Children See Films Two films, "Living Places of Animals" and "Flowers at Work,** were shown to the ele mentary school children at the chapel period yesterday. Mrs. P. H. Quinlan had charge of the meeting. i*rs. Totten gave an introductory talk. The OM-CMhae Be—d Up The Community Club and Xing’s Daughters wish to thank the people of Chapel Hill for their generous response to the? Old Clothe® Bound-Up. Anyone who was overlooked and would like to a donation should e*ti Sira, H. D. Crockford. Dinner for Mrs. Page (Contimud from first pegs) to maintain that Sirs. Lawson had much to do with Estelle’s success, for Mrs. Lawson is known as an excellent swimmer and a beautiful dancer, and she is no ordinary golfer. Archibald Henderson recalled 800 Lawson as “the best college baseball pitcher I have ever seen,” and he got the evening’s longest and loudest round of ap plause when he continued: "A year or so ago Mrs. Lawson was voted the most valuable citizen of Chapel Hill. I have always contributed to the causes she sponsored, not only because I knew them to be good causes but because I was scared not to." Dc&tid Ross, world famous builder of golf courses, told about Mrs. Page’s visits to Pine hurst. “The championships she won there were just as impor tant, as to the class of players she met, as the national cham pionship,” said Mr. Ross. "We all know what a splendid player Mrs. Page is, but I want to say a word to you about her sports manship and her general be havior on the links. She is al ways generous to her opponents, courteous to the caddies, and thoughtful of the people who conduct the tournaments. I have often said that if you can play two rounds of golf with a man or a woman, you can learn pretty well what their quality is. Mrs. Page has stood the test; ahe has proved herself a perfect lady in every' respect." On behalf of Durham, Mayor William F. Carr offered congrat ulations to the champion and to Chapel Hill. Victor. Bryant spoke for the Hope Valley Club, John Heller for the Sedgefield Club of Greensboro, and William B. Umstead for the Congress of the United States. The first speaker introduced by Mr. House was Mayor John M. Foushee. He told the com pany how proud Chapel Hill was of Mrs. Page and how happy the community was to make known its high esteem for her. Governor, Hoey, introduced by Mrs. Henderson, began his talk by confessing his total ignorance of golf. But, whether the field of action was the golf links or some other place, he* delight ed to honor the man or the woman who could do anything better than anybody else, and therefore he took pleasure in presenting the trophy cup to Mrs. Page on behalf of the peo ple of Chapel Hill. The cup, of bronze and standing two and a half feet high, had been placed before the Governor while he was speaking, and as he ended he took it up and placed it be fore the champion. In a few graceful words Mrs. Page thanked for their gift and for their expressions of friendship. As the party broke up Mayor Foushee, Y. Z. Cannon, and Clar ence Pickard were complimented from all sides for their success in arranging and managing the dinner. Community Club Meets Nov. 5 The regular monthly meeting of the Community Club will be held at 8:80 next Friday, No vember 6, in the parish house. The program will be in charge of the education department. The department’s work this year is centered in "The Youth Con servation Movement.” Miss Ruth Current, state home demonstra tion agent, will discuss "Some Phases of the 4-H Club.” .■— * ■ Rhodes Scholarship Applicants The following students here been named by a faculty com mittee to represent the Univer sity in the state competition for a Rhodes scholarship: John B.

Young Negro Is Killed (Continued from first pane) cars, reached the north sidewalk, and walked eastward to where Turrentine was standing, with a group of friends in front of the restaurant next door to the bar ber shop. Woods had his right hand in his trousers pocket. When he came within a few feet of Tur rentine he pulled out a pistol, pointed it, and fired. The bullet tore through Turrentine’s breast. As be was shot he was moving forward, apparently in the effort to grab the pistol in his assail ant’s hand. After a few mo ments’ struggle Turrentine drop ped to the ground, dead. Woods dropped his pistol and fled. That night he gave himself up to the police. He told them that he has 19 years old and came from Greenville, S. C. His fingerprints were sent to the Bu reau of Federal Investigation in Washington, and Chief Sloan awaits information as to wheth er he has a criminal record. As was expected, Woods said that he would plead self-defense. The eye-witnesses, one of whom was questioned by the editor of this newspaper, says that there was no occasion for self-defense; that Turrentine made no attack on Woods or any hostile move against him before the Shooting. The witnesses of the tragedy and other negroes with whom the editor talked could see no shadow # of justification for Woods’s deed. They all spoke of Turrentine as a man of good character who was not contenti ous and behaved himself well. In his year or more of service he had won the affection of the members of the printshop force, i He used to go out and bring trays of drinks to them from the drugstores, and sandwiches from the restaurants, and he was ever 1 - ■ m\ v ■1 -a lot of smokers have found that Chester- JHMMW fields have a taste they like.

During lulls in the w ork the printers would talk to him about football and other topics. He came to have a place like that of the traditional “old family retainer," and news of his death cast a pall over the shop. “I am going to charge Woods with first degree murder,” said Prosecuting Attorney Roy Mc- Ginnis yesterday. "He went home and got his pistol, ami came back and killetj Turren tine. As I see it, the element of deliberation and intent to kill is plainly present in this case." Ike Lynches on Visit Here Mr. and Mrs. Peter Lynch of New York were here Sunday and Monday with President and Mrs. Frank Graham. They strolled about the campus and explored buildings old and new—the Li brary, the Playmakers Theatre, Person Hall, the Graham Memo rial, the Gymnasium. While Mr. j Lynch stopped in the South building to see old friends, Mrs. Lynch anc Mrs. Graham went jto Whitehall to see antique fur- I niture, shining pewter, old glass, and! |ine linens. Mrs. Lynch writes under the name of Mil dred Harrington. She has writ ten many articles for the Ameri ; can and dither magazines and jfor several years has been on the staff of the American.

Football Fever Is High (Continued from page one) can’t see the Tar Heels win ning.” Os course the Carolina adher ents do not look upon the affair with the cold eye of reason. Os course their emotions color their opinions. But it is not unnatural in them to say: "Well, the proph ets got badly fooled twice—may be they’U get fooled again.” Any way, going to and fro in Chapel Hill, you hear many persons not given to loose talk say they think Carolina has a good chance to win. A cold-blooded gambler, with no loyalties to cloud his judg ment, would almost surely pre fer, if he had to lay an even bet, to risk his money on Fordham. And he might give some odds— but they would be narrow odds. Both teams are expected to be at their top strength tomorrow. Art Ditt, the Carolina fullback, who was hurt in the N. Y. U. game, is ready for the fray again.
