Radio Listeners Hear Baptist Preacher When Expecting to Hear Kimsey King Mr. and Mrs A. K. King sat by their radio Sunday morning to hear WCHL’s broadcast of the regular II p’clock sermon of their son, the Rev. Kimsey King, pastor of the Aldersgate Method ist Church. At the appointed hour they heard the announcer say that the Rev. Kimsey King’s sermon would now he heard.: What foljo'wed was a sermon hut. it was not Mr. King’s sermon. Os course Mr. and Mrs. King kru-w immediately that it wasn’t their son speaking, but they didn’t know who it was and they couldn’t figure out what had happened. The speaker sounded to them like an old-time funda mentalist preaching hell fire and damnation. They called the radio station and were told that there had been some sort of mix-up and that the sermon was coming trom the Oberlin Road Baptist Church in Raleigh. It was too late to break in on the sermon and shift over to Mr. King, who was preaching an unusually fine sermon to his congregation and (he had no reason to doubt) to radio lis teners all over town. Some of these listeners, acquaintances of Mr. King, knew they were hear-1 ing some bod/ else. Others 5 Cents a Copy This will be Chancellor House’s final time of being master of ceremonies at a University Day; he retires at the end of this school year. The pageantry will be colorful, including student choruses, band, ROTC uniformed units, and the costumed representatives of Dav ie and the others. Davie is the “Father of the University of North Caroiina,” and in his day he was a dashing and spectacular figure in the state. Born in England, he came to North Carolina, lived in Hali fax County, was graduated from Princeton University, and returned to active life in this state. He was, according to peo ple who knew him, “tall, elegant in person, graceful, and affable in manner.” By his eloquence and nis in fluence he got the Legislature j to authorize the University and to appropriate funds. He person ally selected the site, and an nounced his choice under a huge tree, now called the Davie Pop lar. His interest continued. He helped to select the first facul ty. He helped establish the courses to be taught. And in the years that followed he sometimes i dropped into Chapel Hill and asked questions of the students i to determine what and how much they were learning. He was Ire quently a “one-man visiting committee.” Following the ceremonies next Friday morning the Annual Alumni Luncheon will be held at Lenoir Hall. Classes will be dis * missed at 11 o’clock and will re sume again after 12. turn will arrange for hearings, if necessary and be ready to pre* i sent the budget to the HI A meeting on November H. The Board unanimously agreed that the programs of the PTA for the year should he limited to activities and discussions about the work of the children, their problems, their needs as seen b.yj the parents and the teachers, and possible remedies. The first meeting of the P’l A will he held at H p in. Thursday,! October 11, in the auditorium of | the school. After a brief lufsi-j I ness'meeting the parents will go' Ito then children’s respective j rooms to meet the teachers and become acquainted with their ; children’s work. Help Is Needed l>y [Negro Congregation i ’I In following appeal for help !is from Neville’s Chapel: “Neville’s Chapel is a small Negro church five miles west of Chapel Hill and five miles away from any other church. The members owe sls on a $65 heater, and they want to have their piano tuned and finish painting the church. They will appreciate any amount you may give to help and thank you for same. Send your offering to E. W. Neville, 425 A Catrieron Ave | nue, Chapel Hill, and he will i receipt you for your amount.” thought they were hearing Mr. King. When questioned yesterday, the I radio station management was embarrassed about the mix-up hut obligingly explained it, as [follows: The control hoard had not [been cleared from the football [pick-up from Ruleigh station! jWRAL on Saturday. Therefore,) the church service being broad-j cast by WRAL for pick-up by other stations was still feeding into WCHL here. At the same time the local! telephone company was feeding the Aldersgate service to the station, hut the feeder line had not replaced the Raleigh patch in the control hoard. When 11 a.m. arrived, the engineer on duty . at WUHL switched to the circuit he was instructed, to, heard a [church service coming in, and figured everything was perfect. When a listener phoned thej : station and told the engineer : i what was happening he phoned > Pokey Alexander of the station’s * management staff. It was decided ' not to attempt to make a change ’ in mid-sermon but to explain the -J mix-up later to the radio aud i, tract.

The Saturday night contest was sponsored by the Chapel Hill; Music Club, which is affiliated, with the state and national Fed-, •‘rations of Music Clubs, sponsors' [of contests on the state and na-j tional levels for high school musicians. Mrs. Louise Jefferson, presi-: [dent of the Chapel Hill club, said that tlie contest Saturday night whs the first in a series of an nual contests to be sponsored by the organization. Organized only last January, the club has grown to . membership of 122 and as its chief goal the promotion of musical activities for Chapel Hill young people. There are in Chapel Hill nura-, erous musical activities for [adults, Mrs. Jefferson said, but f the Chapel Hill Music Club seeks to stimulate the growth of music in the interests of the high school age group, an area in which opportunities for musical ex pres [ sioii have been lacking.
