Chapel Hill, Sept. 12—Robert B. House, acting secretary of the state historical commission, was the principal speaker at national defense day exercises, which were observed here in a patriotic manner.
A crowd estimated at 100 persons gathered at the post office at noon. The local Boy Scouts band struck up patriotic airs and there were short addresses by Mr. House and by Francis F. Bradshaw, dean of students in the University, and Carl Durham, commander of the Chapel Hill post of the American Legion, who arranged the program. E.R. Rankin of the University faculty presided over the exercises. Rev. A.S. Lawrence of the Episcopal Church conducted the devotional services.
