C., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2,195 b Community Chest Drive Opens Today Today, Friday, is Community! Chest Day in Chapel Hill and more than TOO volunteer workers will "go all-out" to collect as much of the $27,937.57 goal as they possibly can, Walt Baucom, chairman of the fund raising /campaign, said'. "Give once for all," he added, "But give enough." The funds collected during the concentrated Community Chest Day drive will be used by ten agencies in the Community, Mr. Baucom said. Kach of them serves a worthy purpose, but they need help of the people of Chapel Hill to continue their high standard of service. The ten agencies are the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts, the Y- Teens, the Recreation Center, the Community Center, the Holmes Day Nursery, the Humane Socie ty. the Chapel Hill High School Library, the Peter Garvin Lib rary at the Glenwood Elemen tary School, and the Mary Bay- I Icy Pratt Library at the Chapel Hi 1 Elementary School. All of these agencies, except the Chapel Hill High School Library, were participants in the drive last year. Ihe mole than 700 workers participating in the Community ( best Day drive are believed to he the largest group of Volun teer solicitors ever organized in ( Impel Hill, Mr. Baucom said. Ihe workers will he divided into six divisions, each of which is headed by a chairman. The divisions and their chairman are: special gifts, W. J Ogburn Jr.; residential, Sarah Cinstead; Ne gro, Mr. and Mrs. Bynum Weav er; campus, 0. V. Cook; health affairs, Mac Norwood; and busi ness, Harvey Bennett. The citizens in the community will be asked to contribute only onfc, Mr. Baucom said. During the weeks preceding Community Chest Day members of the Y leena and the Recreation Center have done a complete cross matching of all pledge cards, and have eliminated 1,580 duplic: , tiona, he added. Because of this advance work, Mr. Baucom continued, people will be solicited at only one place. If a person is asked to contribute at his place of employment, he will not be asked to contribute again at home. Give once for all, hut "please” give enough, he said. * Mr. Baucom said that he ex pects more than 5u per cent of the goal to he collected during Community Chest Day. Some peo pie will he out of town Friday, and some workers will nut he able to get around to see all the people they are supposed to on one day, he said. “What we don’t get Friday, we II round up as soon as pos slide,” he added I be purpose of the Community * best Day in Chapel Hill is to combine into one drive the rais-j ing of funds for community or-!

Chapel Mill Cha(( By Louis Graves Such a serious infraction of etiquette, by the nation’s leading authority on eti quette as eating, without invitation, the butter of a | person sitting next to her at a luncheon party—this cer tainly makes a story that deserves to be toll! correctly. I regret to have to confess that 1 balled it up recently in this column. It was given ito me by J. I’. Harland. ’ He had got it from George I>. Gotten. Whether l quoted Mr. Harland wrong or he quoted Mr. Gutten wrong, 1 don’t know. Anyway, l have inow learned from Mr. Gut ten that he heard the story in the first place from Wal ter I’. Eaton and when he re peated it to Mr. Harland he I was not recounting his own experience, as I had him 'doing in my version, but was quoting the words which had been spoken to Mr. Eaton by George l’urmly Day, for many years treas urer of Yale University and ft’r. Cutten’s classmate at Yale. “George was one of the Day brothers depicted in ‘Life with Father’,” Mr. Eat on writes me. "It must have been a dozen years ago that he attended a luncheon par ty in New York, sitting next to a Mrs. Post. Half way through the meal he asked her if by any chance she was Mrs. Emily Post. She admitted that she was. and l_ said, ‘Mrs. Post, d.» yon know you have eaten my butter .” Now, did she eat George Day’s butter, or did she eat Dr. Cutten’s butter? Or did she commit this social error twice? Or did she eat the butter of a third man, whose name we don’t know, and are George Day and Dr. Gutten both trying to mus cle in on his joke?” (Continued on Page 3) Doctor* Prepare Paper Dr. John Dewey Domett of the Department of Medicine of the University School of Medicine presented u paper this week be fore the Annual Scientific Ses ; lions of the American Heart Asso jriution meeting in Cincinnati.

He built the School of Joornalism, and his influence as a teacher and dean was very significant and far-reaching.” Chancellor It. B. House said: “He was one of the ablest and most beloved teachers who was ever associated with the Univer sity. He was my life-long friend and we had enjoyed an intimate usaociation in a 'professional and personal manner.” The Charlotte Observer said: ”...

As spectators at football games and other events will testify, Chapel Hillians love dogs. Leas obtrusively per haps, the cat is an extremely popular pet, too. In Cha|*-t Hill there are probably more cats than dogs because of the ten dency of cat devotees to own more than one cat. Indeed, there are local families which have as many as six or seven cats in one household. For the public at large, however, the feline remains u mysterious animal, seemingly difficult to understand and possessed of bewildering ways. Once a year, the observance of National Cut Week serves to remind people of the value of these tame little tigers.

Contrary to widely held be lief, the cat cannot shift for himself. At best, mousing is extra-curricular and mice, even in sufficient quantity, do not provide a diet sufficient to sus tain a cat. The worst crime against a eat that can be com mitted is simply to move away and let the creature fend for himself. Few domesticated ani mals, cat or dog, can do this and exist more than a few days. One who cannot take his cat along when he moves out of town should leave him at the pound, where an attempt will be niade to find him a home. It is estimated that more than a million kittens are born every day of the*year, obvious ly far more than the U. S. pop ulation rail support. If one is going to keep a cat as a pet, it should be spayed or neutered.

If met half way -sometimes much more than halfway—the cat will re pay your kindness, gentleness and good care. If one thinks he is being rather too patient, remember that the eat, too, may be straining his patience. Don't expect a cat to be like a dog und do not continually compare feline habits with those of the canine. Given better care and under standing, your appreciation will grow of the cat as a fas tidiously clean companion, a philosopher who never misses a trick then comes to his own conclusions, a rational aggre gation of whiskers, built-in antenna, gyroscope and ra dar as well as a furry, per suasive quadruped who posses es and cries, as humans do, for large measures of love and at tention. | riA ■ i ttwi t-»V 'o a/** *‘i- « !
