THE SALBMITE
yucR
On Friday night, January 13, Miss
Clara Walton, of R. J. Reynolds to
bacco factory, came to Salem, through
a request by the Y. W. C. A. cabinet,
to give to Salem girls an insight into
the operation of the huge plant which
she represented, both from an indus
trial point of view and for a considera
tion of the opportunities which it
offers for Y. W. C. A. service.
Miss Walton has represented the in
dustrial girls of Winston-Salem in
several Y. W. C. A. industrial confer
ences; and last summer she was a
delegate to Blue Ridge. Her talk was
i)ot only instinctive but extremely in
spiring. She told of the hundreds of
girls at the factory who are interested
in studying, in learning to cook, sew,
play the piano and other musical in
struments, but who are handicapped
on account of lack of equipment and
scarcity of teachers.
Miss Walton’s approaching visit
had been announced in chapel, and the
Academy, as well as the college girls
and members of the faculty, had been
invited to attend the meeting. Not
since the beginning of the year had
there gathered a larger audience t&
hear any speaker, and never has
Salem had a more enthusiastic meet
ing!
From that night plans began to be
made by individuals and by groups of
girls to lend their time and talents in
supporting girls to relieve present
conditions.
Immediately many prospective
teachers and members of the faculty
began to make arrangements for
scheduling classes. The Athletic
Association began to rehearse
“Daddy”, the delight three-act comedy
which was presented to Salem girls on
the night of January^ 7th, in order to
present it a second time.
girl private instructions until more
systematic arrangements could be
made.
The fo'llowing temporary plans were
made: The place of meeting should be
the City Y. W. C. A. Meetings should
be held twice a week—on Tuesday and
Thursday evenings, beginning at seven
o’clock. On Tuesday evening, also,
instructions in cooking should be
given by the B. S. Seniors of the col
lege under the direction of Miss Left-
wich.
Aside from these plans arrange
ments were made for girls desiring to
receive lessons in music.
As soon as the news of the super-
lluity of teachers has had time to cir
culate, there will probably appear
more and more girls who are inter
ested in definite study.
This undertaking open.s a ccmpara-
tively new field for service and a new
line of thought for Salem girls. But,
however, much help along the line of
“book knowledge”, the college girl
will be able to offer the industrial girl,
still the college girl will be the real
gainer; for there are many more
things in life besides later verbs and
important historical dates.
On Friday afternoon, January 27tH,
Miss Lyon, industrial secretary of the
City Y. W. C. A., met a number of
college girls and faculty members at
Mrs. Rondthaler’s home in order to
suggest ways and means by which the
college might get in touch with the in
dustrial girls.
After Miss Lyon had given a gen
eral estimate of the number of girls
who were ready to begin immediate
study, she realized that there were a
sufficient number of volunteered
teachers from the college to give each
Friday night, February 3rd, after a
brief lapse in the regular formal meet
ings of the Y. W. C. A., due to the
general interruptions of examination
week. Dr. Kinard, pastor of the Luth
eran Church of Winston-Salem, por
trayed to us in a renewed sense the
spirit of Y. W. C. A. He brought to
our attention again the opportunities
of college life and the many joys which
they afford. His message was appro
priate and suggestive of the beginning
of the second semester of the school
year.
Miss Martha Hassell sang beauti
fully “Come Unto Me Ye Weary,”
from the “Messiah.”
In looking over the calendar of the
year’s events of Y. W. C. A. happen
ings, it seemed an awfully long time
since Miss Lumpkin, student secretary
for the South Atlantic Field, had paid
a visit to Salem. However, she arriv
ed on Wednesday morning, February
8th, and stayed with us until early
Saturday morning, the eleventh.
Her visits always mean much to the
progress of our association. She sees
wherein we are weak and helps us to
catch up the stray threads that have

visit. This time, the main purpose ol
her visit was to offer suggestions and
help make plans in preparation for the
Cabinet I'raining Council, which is to
be held this year at Salem, March
31st to April 2nd. She also further
informed the cabinet on important
topics which will be discussed at the
National Convention in Hot Springs

Friday morning, Febmary 11th,
Miss Lumpkin made a brief talk in
Chapel, and on Friday night she lead
the Y. W. C. A. services in the library.
At the latter time she usfd as the sub
ject of her talk “Conditions which Je

a plain, common sense, applicable-to-
our-daily-living talk, but it was won

After a delicious three course din

On Wednesday evening, February
