Vd. IS, N». 46 Hundreds Reply To Questions on Unemployment Cards Filled out by Jobless Received by Post Office; Will Be Tabulated Here THEN GO TO WASHINGTON Hundreds of the national un employment census cards, which were put in all post office boxes and delivered at all homes in and around Chapel Hill, have been filled out and returned to the post office during the last two days. Postmaster Eubanks said yesterday that he would probably receive a lot more of the cards before the deadline at 12 o’clock tomorrow night. As they come in, the cards are being inspected for mistakes by the post office force here. When they have all been tabulated they will be sent to the National Un employment Census in Washing ton. There they will be used, along with those returned from all other post offices in the United States, in a study of un employment throughout the country. Mr. Eubanks -says that he hopes all unempL,,«d or par tially employed persons in this community will have returned the cards by tomorrow night. Cards are still available at the post office for those who have not received them, and the post master and his assistants will be glad to help anybody to fill them out. This census, to determine the number of unemployed and par tially unemployed persons by voluntary registra tion, is to include those at work on emergency work projects of the government. Full-time col lege or high school students are not generally included, but those who receive N. Y. A. student aid should fill out and return the cards. The following groups of per sons should not fill out and re turn unemployment report \cards: \ (1) Persons who are working full time for wages or commis sions, or persons who devote full time to their own business. (2) Persons who are working (Continued on laet page) High SchoohFootball State Championships Will Be Decided by Games Here Next Week Both the Class B and the Class A state high school foot ball championships will be de-J cided here in the Kenan stadium one week from tomorrow, on Friday, November 26. The first match will begin at I o’clock, the top-flight match at 8 P. M. In the Class B contest Eden ton or Hamlet (whichever wins when they meet today) will rep resent the east, and Reidsville is expected to represent the west. If either beats or ties the South high school in the game in Winston-Salem today, it will get the western title. If it should lose, which is unlikely, Mt. Airy would have a chance to represent the west. Rocky Mount is now leading in the east in Class A. It plays Raleigh today, and if it either wins or ties that game it will be in the finals. Charlotte is lead ing in the west. It plays Win ston-Salem tomorrow (Satur day). A victory or a tie in that game will give it the western title. If it loses to Winston- Salem it will be in a tie with Greensboro, and which of the two * those two will play in the, finals will be decided by the toss of a ’ coin. The Chapel Hill Weekly LOUIS GRAVES Editor Chapel HW. Chaff When Kenneth Dunston, son of Chapel Hill’s celebrated bar ber, Tom Dunston, and now him self a barber in Portsmouth, Va., came by here two years ago, he was wailing and gnashing his teeth over the defeat of Caro lina by Duke. After boasting all the fall, up and down the streets of Portsmouth, about the string of touchdowns Carolina was go ing to make, he* was inexpress ibly humiliated by the result of the game. Two years passed, and last Saturday night I got this telegram from Kenneth: “Pub lish the glad tidings North Caro lina 14 Duke 6, boss this is what I call a sensation.’’ • • • An acquaintance of mine who used to live in Colorado tells me of a letter the president of a col lege out there, a man known for his solemnity and for his whole some precepts, wrote to a prom ising young high school grad uate. There was an intense ath letic rivalry between this college and another one in the state. It so happened that the high school graduate was an exceptionally good football player; so good, in fact, that he was famous all over the Rocky Mountain region. Both the first college and *the second college were eager to welcome him as a student. The first col lege got him, and later on the youth showed the president’s letter to him, which ran as fol lows: “I find that we are able to offer you a scholarship to the value" of SSOO. I want you to know, however, that this offer has no relation to your athletic ability but is offered* to you be cause of your splendid Christian 'JjaraoUr-.” * * * The surprise and disappoint ment of people who come from the North expecting to find here a winter-time of balm and flow ers, with perhaps enough bite in (Continued on last page) A Tie with Roxboro Sloan and Ferrell Make Long Runs for Chapel Hill’s Touchdowns The Chapel Hill and Roxboro high school football teams played to a tie Monday in the most thrilling game ever seen in Rox bojro. The score was 12-12; four touchdowns, and no successful' kicks afterward. Roxboro scored first in the second quarter by power plays through the visitors’ line, Stew art going over for the touch down. Chapel Hill’s revenge for this came on the second play in the third quarter when Sloan went over tackle for 60 yards to score. This made it 6-all. Chapel Hill went into the lead in the final period, Ferrell cross ing the line after going, through the line and running 70 yards. With only a minute left to play Roxboro scored with a forward pass, Stewart to Bradsher. This made It 12-all. On the Way Home from Russia Payson D. Carter, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Carter, is on his way home from Russia, where for several years he has been superintending the construction of telephone lines for the Soviet government. Now in mid-ocean on the Normandie, he will land in New York Monday and will come on to Chapel Hill a few dAys later. | “The Firefly” “The Firefly,** a musical play with the opera stars, Jeannette MacDonald and Allan Jones, in the leading roles, will be at the Carolina theatre Sunday and Monday. CHAPEL HILL, N. C„ FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1937 * . * V * Aldermen Legalize Sunday Movies At their meeting last week the boaad of aldermen definitely legalized Sunday movies. The pictures may be presented be tween 1 and 7 P. M. and after 8:30 P. M.; they are banned be tween 7 and 8:30 so that they will not tempt people away from church services. For the last few years movies have been given on Sunday in Chapel Hill under a sort of un official sanction what one might call a “gentlemen’s agree ment.” The reason they were not interfered with by the town government is that through the Chapel Hill movie guild a part of the proceeds from Sunday shows was contributed to char itable and civic This contribution took,the place of a budget outlay for relief, and nat urally the aldermen liked that. For a long time there has been on the books an ordinance permitting the operation of cer tain businesses on Sunday. Res taurants, drugstores, filling sta tions, and news - stands are among the beneficiaries of this measure. One provision is that the sale of soft drinks and other commodities is prohibited dur- Home Town Movies Smith Prepare* to Pilan Activities on Campus and in Village Chapel Hill people will soon have an opportunity to see them selves in the moving pictures. Beginning early next month, a 12-minute reel of pictures taken on the University campus and in the streets of the village will be shown weekly at the Caro lina theatre. The pictures will be shown on two days every week. They will deal with athletic, social, and other on the campus. The President of the University, the deans, members of the fac ulty, students, and town officials and other citizens will appear on the screen in various activities. Special attention will be given to football games. E. C. Smith, manager of the theatre, said yesterday that the pictures would be taken by an experienced Eastman photog rapher using an excellent 35- millimeter camera. The films will be developed in Atlanta, and pictures taken here on Saturday will be shown on the following Tuesday. The films will be preserved and will eventually form a pic torial history of the University and the village. From time to time*, as the years roll by, some of the old pictures will be re shown. , Negroes to Hear Band Concert The Chapel Hill high school band will give a concert at 11:30 this morning at the Orange County Training School. Hiram W. Evans, Klan Chief, Entertains Big Crowd Here Making expert use of slang, colloquialisms, and hyperbole to amuse his audience, and de pleting the. Klan as a benign, unprejudiced organization which abhors violence and lawlessness and fosters the truJ spirit of Americanism, Hiram W. Evans, national head of the Ku Klux Klan, spoke for more than two hours Wednesday evening in Memorial hall About 1,000 were present The Klan chief came here un der the auspices of the Carolina Political Union, a student organ ization which haa brought many prominent men to the University campus. (The Union’s next ing church hours. Everybody knows that little or no attention had been paid to this provision; anybody who wants to may buy a coca cola, a box of candy, or a cake of soap, may buy it after 11 A. M. as easily as before. The question arose: why per mit other enterprises on Sunday and forbid one that was certain ly approved by public senti ment ? *■ The Chapel Hill Movie Guild might have gone on giving its shows on Sunday, though they were illegal, but the directors, including E. C. Smith, manager of the theatre, and some citi zens not connected with the Guild, have expressed the opin ion many times that they would prefer the pictures to be pre sented in compliance with the law. Recently the board of aider men appointed a committee, R.. H. Wettach and R. J. M. Hobbs, to make a study of the subject. The committee’s report, which the aldermen have embodied in an ordinance, is as follows: “Your committee met with Mr. E. C. Smith, manager of the (Continued on pay* two) The Virginia Game South’* Oldest Football Rivalry to Be Renewed Here Next Week The football teams of the Uni versity of Virginia and the Uni versity of North Carolina will meet next Thursday, Thanks giving Day, in the Kenan sta dium. The kickoff will be at 2 o’clock. The performances of the two teams this season point to a vic tory for Carolina. But the spir ited fighting that the Virginians have done against powerful op ponents, notably the Navy, shows that they are capable of rising to great heights—“play ing above themselves,” as the saying goes. For three quarters they played the Navy on almost even terms. The 1937 record is as follows: Virginia has won from Hamp den-Sydney and William and Mary and has lost to Princeton, Navy, Maryland, V. M. 1., Wash ington and Lee, and V. P. I. Carolina has tied South Caro lina, has won from State, N. Y. U., Wake Forest, Tulane, David son, and Duke, and has lost to Fordham. Next week’s will be the 42nd game between the two Univer sities —the oldest football rival ry in the South and one of the oldest in the nation. Virginia holds the distinction of having won by the largest margin, 66 to 0 in 1912. Carolina came near to equaling this with 61 to 0 in 1935. Last year Carolina won 69 to 14. Frank Murray, formerly of Marquette, is the Virginia coach. speaker will be Earl Browder, head of the Communistic party in this country.) Mr. Evans prescribed for the nation a universal dose of the KlAn and said that ff there were a Klan in Chapel Hill Browder probably would not be heard here. He condemned the World Court, all foreign the C. 1.0., sit-down strikes, mis cegenation, Communism, Fas cism, the modern lack of mor als, and the extension of credit to foreign countries. “The Klan believes in religious freedom for all,” Mr. Evans said, “but it doesn’t enroll Cath olics or Jews because it is a Protestant organization.” Me Playmakers Travel The Carolina Playmakers, traveling in their Show Bus, will start on a Virginia-Maryland- North Carolina tour next Wed nesday.

Pete Ivey’s Amateur Show ■ Everybody is invited to at tend Pete Ivey’s amateur show and community sing at 8 o’clock Sunday evening in tha Hill Mu sic hall said that the Klan now had about 4,000,000 members and that Justice Hugo Black was not the first Klansman to sit on a Supreme Court bench. During his address Mr. Evans was well-received, the audience laughing and applauding by turns. When the meeting was opened for questions he was fiercely attacked by hecklers, and they too were generously applauded. dost of the crowd seemed to take the whole affair as a big joke. Two faculty members, E. E, Erfcson and L. O. Katsoff, were among the Klansmau’a most elo quent hecklemp JUO a Year in Advance. Sc a Copy Citizens Approve Issue of Bonds; Yes, 273; No, 5 Street Improvement Cost Will Be Returned to Town through Assessments Laid on Owners 30 DAYS FOR CHALLENGERS At the special election held Tuesday, on the question of the issuance of $16,000 street im provement bonds, approval of the issue was registered by a vote of 273 to 5. This overwhelming majority was the result of the public’s having been thoroughly inform ed, by the aldermen and other citizens familiar with the situa tion, as to the purpose of the issue. The proceeds from the sale of the bonds will be used to pay for curb-and-gutter laid recently on several streets. -The outlay for the improvement (ex cept the minor portion of it at street intersections) comes back to the town in the form of as sessments on the property own ers, the owners having signed a petition asking the town to build the curb-and-gutter and to finance it by the assessment method. If the cost were not met from the sale of bonds it would have to be put in the bud get next year, and that would mean a heavy increase in the tax rate. The mayor and the aldermen held a meeting night before last to canvass the returns. Then they signed a document certify ing to the vote of 273 to 5 in favor of the bonds. The certifi cate appears elsewhere in this paper. A periul of- 36 days must elapse to permit anybody who so desires to challenge the election. At the end of that period, if no challenge has been offered, the proposal for the bonds will be submitted to the State Local Government Commission, and that body will offer them for sale at competitive bidding. 2 Cases of diphtheria Not Alarming, Say* Dr. Richardson, But Shows Need of immunisation Two cases of diphtheria have been reported in Orange county within the last week, it is learned from Dr. William P. Richardson, district health of ficer. One was a child in the Carrboro school, a girl, and all the children who were most in timately exposed to her have been given the Schick test or have had cultures made for the diphtheria bacillus. The other was a child two years old. ’This incidence of the disease is not alarming,” says Dr. Rich ardson, “but it does emphasize the importance of having every child protected by immuniza tion, as well as the importance of consulting a physician imme diately upon the occurrence of any suspicious symptoms. H A committee has been ap pointed tpy the County Parent- Teacher Association, headed by Mrs. Ira Mann of Carrboro, to devise plana for securing a more wide-spread practice of immu nization during the early years of life when diphtheria is most dangerous. This committee has had one meeting, and is laying plans for a campaign to bagin shortly after Christmas.” Mrs. Moxley Injured by Fall Mrs. Moxley, Mrs, Bradshaw's mother, had a fall Wednesday when she was walking at dusk. The doctor found that she had broken a bone, and she dries tak en to Watts hospital. She will have to stay there a' week or so.
