REJEa SUNDAY PICTURE MONEY Charlotte, N. March I, Sunday films are back In North' Carolina after several wieeks of sleeping. Elizabeth City plunged Into th« Sunday, picture group, when two theatres there offered three shows each. W. T. Culpepper and HollanA Webster, managers of the tw» houses, announced that none of tha proceeds would go to charity, tha usual manner of starting Sunday showings In this state. At Beaufort, Mrs. Charles Totson« head of the local relief organization, declined to accept proceeds from charity Sunday Alms. At nearby Morehead City, officials refused to l&T undernourished children hava milk 'because It -was purchased with charity money taken In on Sunday at picture theatres.' Mrs. Tolson said th at to accept woitey~?5bta"liiesrfrom aunaay shows, for distribution among needy cases of relief, amounted to the sacrlflca of a principle. The first check for- warded her by a theatre was re-. turned. At Charlotte, Sam Goldfeln an- nounced himself candidate for elec- tion to the city council, running on a platform that calls for a wide open Sunday. Spartanburg, S. C, March . 6.
