To vote a straight ticket make a cross-mark in the circle under the name of the party of your choice. If you want to split the ticket, you can do so in two ways: (1) make no mark in any circle but make a cross-mark in the square opposite the name of every candidate for whom you want to vote, or. (2) make a cross-mark in the circle kinder the name of the party for some of whose candidates you want to vote, and mark in the square opposite the name of any candidate of any other party for whom you want to vote. Official County Ballot The same directions apply as for the official State ballot, except that each party has under its name a square, instead of a circle, for the mark of a person wanting to vote a stiaight ticket.

Piccadilly Quartet Having Big Time in New York Mrs. W. W. Pierson, Mrs. Roy Homewood, Mrs. J. Burt Linker, and Mrs. V. A. Hill are having a big time in New York. They left Raleigh at 12:30 A.M. day before yesterday (“We’re riding on a day coach so we’ll have more money to spend when we’re in New York," said one of them), arrived in the city about noon, taxied from the Pennsyl vania Railroad station up Seventh , avenue to Times Square, and quar tered themselves at the Piccadilly kb^L are well situated for thatr purposes, for the Piccadilly is close to the theatres, the shops, all the res taurants any visitor would want to go to, and several art museums. This hotel is not only a fine place to start | out from. It has a high retreat«and j repose value because it is so easy to I get back to when your feet get tired. Riding in taxis gives only a small ' measure of relief to the feet in New York. You can’t taxi up and down the corridors of department stores, or across the lobby and along the aisles in the Radio Music Hall, or in the subterranean arcades that abound in the metropolis; and even on the streets, when you are going only a few blocks, traveling in a taxi takes Collection of Church Plays “Fourteen Plays for the Church,” edited by Kai Jurgensen and Robert Schenkkan and published by the Rut gers University Press, has recently been distributed to book stores throughout the country. The plays were translated, adapted, and ar ranged from middle German, French, English, and Latin plays of the 10th and 15th centuries. Mr. Jurgensen and Mr. Schenkkan were aided in the translations by Francis Bliss. Instruc tions are given by the editors for pro ducing the plays. The five pieces of original mood music included were composed by Wilton Mason. The cos tume plates were the work of Lynn Gault. The plays are arranged in three sections, for performances at Christmas, Easter, and other sea sonal occasions. Stray Dogs Will Be Picked Up Beginning the first of next week, ail stray dogs in the village will be picked up and put in the town dog pound.

I.eGetU Blythe at Bull's Head LeGette Blythe will talk about his recently-published novel, “Bold Gali lean," at the Bull’s Head Bookshop tea at 4 o’clock Wednesday afternoon in the staff room on the ground floor of the Library. CHAPEL HILL, X. C-, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1248 jmore time and is more trouble than I traveling on foot.

Mrs. Sutton and Mr. Warren Injured in Accidents I Near closing time Tuesday night Mrs. J. L.

The blow dislocated two of her ribs and fractured a vertebra. She is in a cast at Watts hospital. It is expected she will have to remain in the hospital for at least two months. Rent Control Reminder Landlords and tenants are remind ed by the rent control office here that they have only until December 31 to 'sign leases for a 15 percent increase |in rent.

Faculty Club to Hear about Escheats Kemp S. Gate, the University es cheats officer, will be the speaker at the Faculty Club luncheon at 1 o’clock Tuesday at the Carolina Inn. He will tell of the nature of his work and of some adventures he has had in ob taining unclaimed estates, unclaimed bank deposits, and other ownerless property that belongs to the Univer sity under the State Constitution and laws. Philological Club Meeting The Philological Club will meet at 7:30 Tuesday evening in the Graham Manorial. Preston H. Epps, professor of Greek in the University, will read a paper entitled “Greek Tragedy Mere Tragedy of Fate 7” Graham Joins ia Supporting Truman and Censuring Wallace’s Party * Frank P. Graham, President of the University, joined 35 of the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s associates and advisers in Washington this week in a statement in support of Truman for President. The state ment said that Truman was a candidate “on the most liberal platform ever adopted by a major party" and characterized Wallace's Progressive Party as “the most serious pttempt in the history of our nation by a totalitarian group to capture and destroy American Liberalism.” Chapel Hill Chaff Arthur C. Nash, the Univer sity’s consul ting architect, came from Washington at the end to confer with the faculty committee on buildings and grounds. I met him in the lobby of the Carolina Inn and we talked about this and that. When Mr. Nash lived in New York as a young man, forty-odd years ago, he had an apartment on 59th street. It was not far from the Central Park Zoo, and often at night, when the city noises had died down, he could hear the lions roar. If he had been on a safari in Africa, sleep ing in a tent, the presence of lions so close by might have been alarming. But here the lions were behind stout steel bars. Not only that, but there were pla toons of police, well armed, to come upon the scene in case of a zoo-break. So, the roaring of the lions was just a lullaby to the rising young architect. He moved away from New York. He traveled about the world. He was a teacher of ar chitecture at Cornell University in Ithaca. He lived here in Chapel Hill in the 1920’s and early 1930’5. Several years ago he settled in Washington. Re cently he moved to an apartment near Rock Creek Park. It hap pens to be near the part of the park where the zoo is. Thus his wanderings have brought him to the completion of a curious cycle: from one gang of lions to another. Again the sound of roaring comes through the night, and he finds that it disturbs him no more in Washington than it did in New York. It still serves as a lullaby. , J. A. Warren, treasurer of the Uni versity, was stiuck by an automobile Tuesday and is in Watts hospital with a compound fracture of the left el bow. The accident occurred at the cor ner of Franklin and Raleigh streets. Mr. Warren, walking homo for the midday meal, was starting to cross Franklin street when he was struck by the side of a car driven by a mar ried student who lives in Victory Vil lage. The word from' the hospital just before this paper went to press yes terday afternoon was that he was getting along well. Mr. Habel Is New Baptist Minister Rev. Samuel T. Habel, Jr., will come here next week as minister of the Chapel Hill Baptist church. Mr. Habel is a graduate of the University of Richmond, the Southern Baptist Theological seminary in Ixmisville, and of the University of Edinburgh. His forme: pastorates include the First Baptist Church, Nashville, N. C., the First Baptist Church of Enfield, and the West End Baptist Church of Suffolk, Va. Mr. and Mrs. Habel and their three children are expected to move into their new home at 212 W. Rosemary next Thursday. County Pigs Score Prises Dr. George Chriaman of the health department told the Rotary club at its meeting Wednesday night that each one of the 18 pigs sent to tho State Fair in Raleigh by the Spotted- Poland China association here won a ribbon and altogether garnered SIOO in prize money. The association ia one of three Orange county pig-breeding clubs sponsored by the Rotary. E. P. Barnes, assistant county agent, handled the pigs at the fair. Another feature of the program was the showing by O. K. Cornwell of movies of the Carolina-Georgia foot ball game.

It was the main subject of dis cussion at a gathering, Wednes day afternoon at Mrs. Russell Grumman’s, of department chairman and other leaders in Red Cross work in Chapel Hill and Carrboro. In brief the plan is this: to find out where help is needed, and at what times, by various community agencies (such as, for example, the anti-polio com mittee, the anti-cancer commit tee, and the home-nursing serv ice) ; to inform the public about the needs; to enroll volunteersm and to attend to the distribution of the volunteers among the agencies. The first step will be a com munity survey.,. Many citizens, specially wom en, eager to devote some of their time to helping people in* dis tress, ask: “What can 1 do?” The Red Cross plans to give them the answer. The suggestion for this enter prise came from a Chapel Kill ian, Gordon Blackwell, head of the social work division of the University* TKp tf] pHt of it was immediately recognized by the general Red Cross organization. The plan was the main topic of the talk by a guest speaker at Wednesday's gathering, Miss Ruth Kernodle, assistant direc tor of volunteer services for the Southeastern Area of the Red Cross. Another guest speaker was Miss Janet Cox of Rocky Mount, the Red Cross’s field rep resentative in this part of North Carolina. The Collections Fall Short of Chest Quota The Community Chest campaign drive is $4,200 short of reaching the i $ 12,000 quota set for this year. At • the latest count, $7,806.45 had been ! collected. Consequently, the drive will | continue. Roy Armstrong, drive chairman, urges all Chapel Hill people who have not contributed to do so immediately. “Although the hundreds of volunteer workers did a superb job in canvass ing the tqwn,’’ he said, “there still are many townspeople they did not reach. Every perspn who has not yet had a chance to donate can mail the contribution to Mr. H. C. McAllister, Howell Hall, Chapel Hill, or leave it With Paul Eubanks at Eubanks drug store.” Mr. Armstrong says that 400 peo ple in town, by sending in just $lO each, could put the drive over the top. He wishes to remind the towns people that in contributing to the drive, they are giving to eight differ ent organizations for the whole year. Mrs. Cranford Resigns Mrs. H. C. Cranford resigned as secretary-treasurer of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Merchants association at a meeting of the board last Mon day night. She will continue her work as secretary to F. O. Bowman, only now on a full-time basis. A successor to Ail the association job has not been appointed; Request from tin P.TA. The safety committee of the Par- > ent-Teachers' Association issued a re quest this week that drivers «t cars t let pupils on and off on the west side 1 of the elementary school steps and not in front of the school, so as to avoid congestion.
