The victory, which Kavt* Klon on even split for a two-j?ame in- vaHion of the C'arolina hill country, moved the Christians to a 6-2 record in Conference competition and a‘.ured them of third place in the HtandTnK as the North Stat- learns swung into the final half of the regular seas()n play.

The North State rivals played 't close throughout most of the game with Klun holding a bare 37-3:i margin at the internussion The Christians were leading by a scant 76-75 count as the final minute began, bringing the final rally that sewed up the victory. l*np^r(itn Ity Miss \4‘lms Miss Klizabeth Nelms, member of the Klon f’olle.e music facul ty. was presented In a radio pro- rram over Burlinjcton’K Station W'BIIB at 11:45 o‘clo‘k last Sat urday morning, appearing in a procrani of sonrs that were of fered under the sponsi>rship of the Rurlinfton Music Club.

That is tht eason why 1 compare my owi high school as corre.sponding to Elon. ■American's Many Cars Now I want to turn away from 'Chool to other aspects of daily life. One of the most spectacular lifferences is the number of car& ^ou fii:d on the American roads A'e do not have nearly as many cars at home. Usually, German cars are smaller, most of them can seal five persons at best, whereas I often see seven per- ons in an American car. I have )een told that the average Amer ican car costs around $2,300, but lie mo.st popular CJerman car, the Volkswagen, " i-a n k s arouna $1,200. This large number of cars in Ihe United States may account for ^mother difference — most .Amen 1‘ans hale to walk. I know many students at Klon who even dread Ihe short way down to the post office. They regarded me as un- I atural when they found out that I .like to take a walk or run over Ihe countryside, whereas they, a they said, would not be able to run half a mile. This is quite home.

On fme Sundays the whole famih. with Jad and dog, spend the afternoon vjutside in this way. Though there are not too many, cars, most Germans like to travel The favorite vehicles are motor-1 The.se cycles and bicycles. There are uch large numbers of them on the German highways that they have become a nuisance and a danger for traffic I myself prefer a ride I.TK iBi 2 South Dorm 2 East Penn 2 North Dorm 0 Fa.st Dorm o Vets' Club 0 KKAIKK.NITV I.KAOrK \v.

Most people prefer a silent, un- ■ouched place — enjoyed by a ^mall group of classmates or a eligious group — to the well- (nown sights, where you might rind rich people with their noisy cars. Prices Are Different Prices, of course, are different. Watches rank between $10 and $30. Food is much cheaper at home. During my Christmas vaca tion, I used to eat a meal in thi.' country for about eighty cents, .■onsisting of a cup of soup and -wo hamburgers. (It seems funny to me that you give a German name to what we call with the Knglish name of "steak. ") 1 al ways left hungry, thinking of the ompletely satisfying dinner I Aould have got at home for the same amount. The reason for the compara tively low prices in Germany are the low earnings. 1 think fifty cei;ts an hour are the average German wages. When 1 shall have „'ompleted my studies. 1 shall not get more money as a German leacher than I got working as an jnskilled laborer In an American varehouse during Christmas vaca tion. Radio programs are different. No advertising merchants pay for the programs, but the radio own ers have to pay a certain tax on their radio .sets. MosI of the radio stations are owned by the states The programs consist of classical music, dancing music and educa tional broadcasting iSchulfunk). news, political and cultural dis cussions and dramas. There are, however, some exceptional radio stations in the former Amer zone in Germany, which pond exactly to those Girls Start Cage Pla V This Week The Women's Recreation Associ ation, which sponsors physical edu cation activities for girls on the campus, will inaugurate its 1955 campus basketball season Thurs- oay night, according to Miss Louise -Moseley, director of girls physical education. Five teams, including three freshman and two uppercla.ss com binations, will participate in the .‘■eries of games to determine the championship.

Shir ley Phillips and Jennie Keck UBRARY NOTES A packet of old letters held ■ gether by a faded yellow ribbon search for rare old stamps. ^ a rainy evening with nothing pre^ ing to be done . . . such were i ingredients that went into th! making of ‘My Dear Brother, fascinating and nostalgic book th. is among the recent additions' the Elon College library. The book, which is from the of Catherine Thom Bartlett, is his tory first-hand, as tcld in lettj, from an early settler in Vir-ini', a settler who came from Scotli, to Virginia after the days of Bon nie Prince Charlie in a flight ths culminated in the building of" new home in the Virginia Pied mont, where the raising of tobaci by hosts of slaves became thi center of family economic inter est. The letters, which were writt(^- by this settler and his dc.icendant to "My dear brother."' with a fei to "My dear .sister." present panorama of history from thi hectic days in Scotland to the evei more hectic days in America, as was torn by a great Civil Wai between the North and the South They are also the story of an ama! ing family and of social customs u the time, with their descriptinn- of marriages, cake baking, court ing, schooling, riding, travelins sight-seeing and plantation life. The letters reach a height interest in the turbulence of the Civil War days, with their stories of propaganda and the scenes that shift from Richmond to New Or leans, from Baltimore to Mobile, and from military prisons across the Atlantic to Paris. Altogether, they paint a wonderful picture times long gone.
