ANOTHER ARGUMENT FOR
TUCKER SITE.
Red Cross Roll Call and the Week
of Prayer. How appropriate that
these two should come together; the
one for world fellowship through ser
vice and sympathy, and the other for
world fellowship through understand
ing. On all hands we see increasing
evidences of the broader outlook and
interest of the average citizen, and of
the student, and when these two fac
tors combine their wills and influence,
things are very likely to go their way.
For years the average citizen and the
student have supported the Red Cross
as a worthy cause; let us now conceive
of it as an important factor in bring
ing about world peace. It is one of
the very few world organizations, and
it speaks a world language—that of
mercy and of love. The great student
body and public of this nation are,
doubtless, in favor of world peace, but,
seeming far from danger, they do not
realize the necessity of the vigorous
expression of this sentiment and of im
mediate action in attaining its end.
Let us support the Red Cross organ
ization, and respond to the Week of
Prayer as the tasks in hand for the
furtherance of this great cause.
Mr. Johnson Endorses Action Taken
by Meredith Trustees.
The agitation for the removal of
Meredith College has broken out in a
new place. Dr. Paschal in an article
in last week’s Biblical Recorder
strongly advocates the rsmval of
Meredith to Wake Forest. 150 acres
of land is offered free as an induce
ment, and the advantages of having
the two institutions in the same com
munity are presented with the skill
for which Dr. Paschal is famous.—

What is your idea of class-room
honor? That is an important ques
tion, not only because it shapes yourl
own destiny but because of the in
fluence it has on others. Your senti
ments on the subject plus those of
your fellows equal public opinion, and
public opinion in turn makes that of
those who always follow its dictates.
Thes responsibility is greater than you
realize. In the classroom, on tests or
examinations, or daily recitations your
axtions manifest your conception of
honesty. It’s tip to you.
“SAY IT WITH FLOWERS.”
N. P. Lindberg, originator of the
slogan, “Say it with flowers,” was
killed in an auto accident in North
Dakota. As you suspected, he was a
florist.
His famous four-word slogan has
sold more flowers than any 10,000
florists that ever lived. And the
slogan was not carefully thought out.
Lindberg coined it off-hand, almost
absentmindedly, in conversation at a
national florists’ convention.
That is what a gambler calls chance.
It is chance, the sudden appearance of
the unexpected, that shapes our des
tinies and makes life interesting.
Never get discouraged. Chance prob
ably has something better in store.
FROM RANDOLPH MACON.
A key to the literature of the world
will Be found in the Institute Interna
tional de Bibliographic in Brassels
when the indexing of the chief literary
works of all the nations is completed.
Twelve million entries have been made
to date.
The University of Oregon has been
presented a front page of the New
York Herald for April 11, 1865, con
taining the account of the assassina
tion of Abraham Lincoln. The page is
framed and will be hung in the main
offices of the School of Journalism.—

RED CROSS—BIG FEATURE OF
WEDNESDAY CHAPEL SERVICE.
(Continued from page one)
membership is its back bone, thus
shov.'ing us what a privilege it is to
become a member.
Succeeding Miss Blanton, Mr. Rights
stated that America was taking the
lead of the forty-two organizations
throughout the world. He went a little
more into detail about the work both
at home and abroad, stating that in
the Eear East relief the Red Cross had
had to pay $50,000 for medical sup
plies alone. The roll call, he added,
IS to be taken in Winston-Salem the
] 8th, 20th and 21st of the month. The
period of time for all chapters extends
from Armistice Day until Thanksgiv
ing. The membership fee is $1.00, 50c
of which goes to the national organiza
tion. In bringing his short talk to a
close, Mr. Rights quoted General
Pershing who said, “The war could
not have been won as it was won with
out the Red Cross and the Red Cross
could not have been carried on as it
was carried on withut the women and
girls of America.”
Mr. Heath, in taking up the matter
of how this roll call should be taken
up by the school, asked for sugges
tions from the student body. The
motions were made, seconded and car
ried unanimously that it be taken up
by the classes of the Academy and
College and that committees be ap
pointed by the presidents to canvass
the student body. In the Academy the
class presidents, together with their
respective class teachers, will make up
this committee. Dean Shirley will can
vass the faculty. With this effective
organization within the school we
cherish hopes for a large membership.
THE COUNTY FAIR.
(Continued from page i.ne)
iion of trying to solve the mystery, our
guests were regaled with sandwiches,
tea, ice-cream and cakes.
But the end was not yet, for another
crier called attention to a very ex
citing performance called “Lam ter
Luve”, which proved instructive as
well. Of course the free exhibits of
freaks were visited by all present. We
hope that all our guests emptied their
pocket-books and went home satisfied
with their visit. We do know that
there were no requests for a refund of
the admission price.
Did you go to the county fair?
Well, you missed lots of fnd by not
being there.
