Member of North Carolina Collegiate Press Association EDITORIAL Literary Work for Thrift Almost weekly, men and women of note are informing us on the is sues of the day and pointing out the big part that college-trained in dividuals are playing and must play in the life of the nation. Statistics prove that college men are pushing to the front. But even though this is true, we fear that there is a tendency here at Guilford to disregard the importance of thrift. Unless that is learned one might almost say that a college education is a failure. Probably it is neces sary for most students to be thrifty where finances are considered, but often the same people are most un thrifty with their time. The best way to overcome this waste of time is to use the library. Three hours of careful reading out side of required class work each week would open a new world to some students. The new scientific discoveries and investigations, the re cent and every changing political situations, or the field of literature all offer valuable information. Don't ask someone else what you should read, but develop your own initiative by making your own selections. * * * How About Thanksgiving Three hundred years ago the third annual Thanksgiving was celebrated in New England. At that time our forefathers gathered to pray and return thanks to God for the harvest which their small plantations yield ed. Thursday of next week has been set aside by the President of the United States for the same purpose. This proclamation applies to over one hundred-million people, but just how does it affect us as a group of college students? It's being rumored around that a big time is expected on that day. Surely v° do not want to say anything against that, but with the opportunities and advantages for educational development presenting themselves on all sides, it behooves us above all things to observe Thanksgiving with a spirit of re verence. The students of Europe and of practically all the world are in need of the very essentials of life. Their determination and sacrifices show that they are thankful even for what they have. We are in the nrdsc of plenty and have every good reas on for celebrating Thanksgiving in the same spirit as did those early New England planters. OPEN FORUM Article for this issue has been Censored Take time to think. Memory systems would be all right if you could only remember to use them. A deep sense of economy is al most as effective as the "still small voice." George Washington never told a lie but lots of lies have been told about him. Bell boys and coat room girls know when a salesman is paying his own expenses. A novice always likes to play i.: a minor key because he thinks it's more "artistic." By the time some men have learn ed to behave themselves they're too old to do any thing else. How the women do applaud the ne'er-do-well stage hero who gives his wife a carnation instead of a pay envelope! Did you ever try it? Only the rich have time to walk these days—the rest of us have to hustle around in our automobiles to make enough moneey to buy tires and gasoline. 1 admire the man who raises a family, pays his bills, and minds his own business. Unfortunately, most people rea'.l to get away from themselves and not to find themselves; much of our reading therefore is comparable to day-dreaming. A slo A' death is an expensive luxury. Considering our stupidities the amazing fact is that we get along as well as we do. How Do You Think Of Your Father, Question Of Movie How do you think of your father? Is it as "father" or as a "good pro vider"? According to the movie "The Good Provider" shown at Me morial Hall, Saturday night, the young folks of to-day think of fath er as a "good provider" until some thing serious happens to bring them to the realization that he is father. THE GUILFORDIAN Alumni Committee Meets (Continued from page 1.) High Point is in the final stage of her solicitation. About $45,000 has been subscribed in that city and the prospects are bright for a gaining of the remaining $15,000 allotted. Winston-Salem, which was allotted $20,000 will be canvassed during the last week in November. W. A. Blair of that city has the campaign in charge. Philadelphia, which was to launch a campaign this fall has decided for various reasons to postpone it until the first of January. Up to the present mom ent about $275,000 of the $375,000 has been subscribed, with yet SIOO, 000 to be secured.
