Member of North Carolina Collegiate Press Association. Cheap Extravagance The past week has seen the stu dent body continue the practice of giving its business patronage to firms that do not pretend to back the college or its publications by either subscribing to the endow ment or advertising in the Guil fordian or Quaker. The fact is this. A contract for rings expired and negotiations for a new contract, with a firm that has never backed the college or its activities, were opened for another five year contract. In Greensboro there are at least three jewelry stores through which the same quality and design of ring could be bought at practically the same price. A few weeks ago a somewhat similar incident occured when one of the athletic managers had a quantity of schedules and placards printed by a firm that is recog nized as doing the cheapest type of work in a nearby town, and which does not back the College in any way. We admit that the work was done cheaper than could be done elsewhere, but the quality is appar ent in the number of mistakes in a 3 by 5 card schedule. We should give more considera tion to those firms that give us patronage in advertising. Even though the immediate cost is a lit tle above the cheap firm, we con tend that the college as a whole is losing money by trading with the cheap firm or with the foreign firm when the same and better quality of goods could be bought from the friends of the college. The Guilfordian is having a hard financial pull for this very reason. The business manager was unable to sell enough ads mainly because of this unreciprocating tendency of the student body. It would be better to spend a fraction of a cent more and get quality and keep the friendship of those upon whom.the future of Guilford publications and endowment drives is depen dent. Think it over. If you were ad vertising in the Guilfordian and never saw any results from your money invested, would you renew the ad when you were solicited next Fall ? When you go to town, pick out the stores that you see advertised in the and Tell them Hint you are from Guil ford.. Beside a discount that most stores give to students you will help our managers get ads for next year. The College administration is not immune from this unapprecia tive attitude. We suggest that they should give consideration to the above. We have often heard that if you get something cheap, you pay double for it eventually. BE SURE WE ARE RIGHT SUNDAY MORNING TOPIC When one reads the fifth chapter of the First Epistle of John, the 20th verse these words are particularly striking. "We know that we know." Rev. Joseph Peele chose them for his text Sunday morning. "All men follow him who knows his own mind. Christ prepared his disciples for leadership. He sent them forth into the world to lay a foundation for a kingdom on facts. They were not sent out with a guess, a hazy surmise, but knowing the truth; they had sure foun dations under them." lii the boyhood life of Henry Ward Beecher there is a story related where he along with a number in his Biology class were asked to explain a theorem which had been put on the board. The teacher stopped each student at a cer tain place. One student refused to stop but finished his explanation. For this he was complimented by the teacher. Turning to the others the teacher re marked, "There is not so much in know ing a thing, but you must know that you know it." ELEPHANTS The elephant is man's most intelligent helper. But —consider this interesting comparison: An elephant is much larger than the electric motor of a "yarder" or logging machine. The "yarder" has the power of twenty elephants; it handles clusters of logs; it works dependably, twenty-four hours at a stretch, if necessary. Twenty elephants would eat daily 10,000 pounds #of green food, which a corps of attendants must gather. A motor "eats" nothing but electricity, supplied at the throw of a switch. Two million elephants could Power used in the modern industrial world is cone by General Electric applied through electric motors —tireless "iron to be done, whether it needs elephants" that are relegating antiquated ma tS P fo™l r of a"man'^archines to museums, along with such oldtime motor that will do it faith- household articles as wash-tubs and ordinary of'a y few celltfLn hour acost irons—and stuffed elephants. 201-65DH GENERAL ELECTRIC GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY, SCHENECTADY. NEW YORK THE GUILFORDIAN "The Christian Church," continued Rev. Peele, "was established on facts. It has seen centuries of hardships, but its foundation has not been blasted. His disciples knew that he knew. The question comes to mankind: 'Are we go ing back upon its foundation?' We can not afford to give Jesus Christ a passing recognition; lie needs our best.
