College Publishers Representative 420 Madison ave. New York, N. Y. CHtcAco • BOSTON ■ Lo« Aii«eLes - San F«ANct$co THANKSGIVING WEEK-END Students wlio wei'e here at Salem last year i-eiuembei‘ the talk on eut.s that Miss Covington gave in chapel,,and the choice that she put up to the student body — that we each agree to take no cuts over Thanksgiving week-end, and have as our holi day from Wednesday afternoon to Monday morning; or that we have only Thanksgiving Day as holiday with the usual cuts regvdatioiis and permissions. The student body, you remember, voted .unanimously to have the entire week-end, and we each j)romised that we would not ask for cuts at that time. This yi-ar the new students have been told of the agree ment, and know that the same conditions govern them. None of us have the slightest excuse to ask for cuts over the Thanksgiv ing holidays. And certainly when we stop to think of the fac ulty co-opei"ition that this arrangement represents, we cannot dare to ask for a single cut — or shall we let the faculty outdo us in co-operation? —L. R. PREFEEENCES Browsing iii a, librai'y is fun,’and it is tremendously im- IM)rtant too. This fact was realized by the people who planned and built our library — and who added the Browsing Room to make the buildng and the atmosphere complete. Now we have a place a friendly, comfortable place — where we can read and play at reading just for the fun of it. Nothing is demanded of us there but relaxation. So far the Brow.sing Room is still iu the process of devel opment — the shelves are not yet half full. This means an op portunity for you. What sort of books would you like to see on those shelves — poetry, modern novels, biography? The li brarians are eager to know your interests and youi' literary fav orites, so that as the shelves are filled up, they can be filled with books that will appeal to you. —II. M. A. AT IPANID0M WINTER A widow bii'd sate mourning for her love Upon a wintry bough; The frozen wind crept on above, The freezing stream below. There was no leaf upon the forest bare, No flower upon the ground, And little motion in the air Except the mill-w'heel’s sound —Percy Bysshe Shelley. LXXXI, FROM DAWN TO NOON As the child knows not if his mother’s face Be fair; nor of his elders yet can deem What each most is; but as of hill or stream At dawn, all glimmering life suri'ounds his place; AVho yet, tow’rd noon of his half-weary race. Pausing awhile beneath the high sun-beam And gazing steadily back, — as through a dream. In things long past new features now can trace:— Even so the thought that is a length full-grown Turns back to note the sun-smit paths, all grey And marvellous once, where first it walked alone; And haply doid)ts, amid the unblenching day. Which most or last impelled its onward way, — Those \uiknown things or these, things overknowm. —D. G. Rossetti. BIRTHDAYS (Nov. 19 to Dec. 2) November 21 — Mary Worth Walker November 23 — Kenneth Bryant November 24 — Marguerite McGuire November 26 — Peggy Jones November 27 — Mildred Irene Hines NOTED IRISH POET VISITS SALEM (Continued From Page One) contemporary poets, however, in Mr. Colum’s opinion. Mr. Colum read from four modern poets whom he admires and considers important. These were T. S.Eliot, Archibald Mc- Leish, Gerard Manning Hopkins, and greatest of all, William Butler Yeats. Perhaps most intere.sting of all, was Mr. Colum’s “saying” of sev eral of his own poems. He intro duced each by sketching a back ground of its metrical and content characteristics. Mr. Colum’s first poems concerned the Irish country side and the Irish country people. Many of his early poems were writ ten in the rhythm of the folk songs, and are even now sung at Irish fire sides by people who have perha])s never heard of Mr. Colum. Among the jwems which Mr. Col um road were: “The Old Woman of The Road.s,” “A Cradle Song,” “The Plower,” “The Tin Wliistle,” “The Honey-Seller,” “The Hum ming Bird,” and “The Condor.” HOME EC. CLUB ELECTS DELEGATES At a meeting lield Tuesday, Eliza beth Norfleet and Agnes Lee Car michael were elected as delegates from tlie Katherine ,1.

The first meeting was held last year at Catawba College. NEW BOOKS • FOR COLLEGE GIRLS DISCUSSED (Continued From Page One) modern writers who violate all rules of form, of good literature, and even of good punctuation must be handled with care,” Miss Singletary advised. Reaching the ‘go’ section, Hiss Singletary included her favorites among the recent books. These she described as idealogical. Among these were “North to the Orient,” “Listen to tlie Wind,” Waljwle’s “Fortitude,” “The Philosophy of Living,” Bronifield’s “The Raised Cain,” Private Worlds,” and Vir ginia Wolf’s “And The Years,” “An American Doctor’s Odyssey” by Dr. Victor Heiser, she de.scribed as the best of recent works publish ed by medical men. Following other road side markers. Miss Singletary included several books in “Slow' — side road.” “These are the books which one discovers for one’s self,” she said. “Among the most delightful ones I have found are “Tish,” “Ferdi nand the Bull,” The Swiss Family pobinson,” “God of My Fathers,” and ‘ ‘ With Malice Toward Some. ’ ’ These books, while not considered the best of literature are charming.” “Don’t driv-e drunk! ’’ she warned her listeners. “1 mean by this, don’t go on a spree of one author’s work until you are saturated with it.” Slow down, obey the speed law, ’ ’ covered that nefarious habit of skim ming. ‘ ‘ There is danger of this iii reading sucli books as “Gone With the Wind,” “Anthony Adverse,” and “Of Time and The River.” One is likely to become so engrossed -in the action that beautiful passages of description are overlooked.” “Danger — detour,” she applied to many modern books which liave jumped the barriers of good taste, “The handling of the subject matter in this category makes the distinc tion.” Under “Road under repair” she placed certain recent works of Ern est Hemingway, Theodore Dreiser, John Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men,” and Sherwood Anderson. Against the authors whose later works have not equalled their first or who hav^ growntoo prolific, she Music News I RADIO PEOGKAM Saturday, 10:00 i>. m., WJZ. Toscanini and the NBC Sym'pUony.

Many girls know Mr. Jenkins in connection with his work at the church, and all those that don’t know him will enjoy hear ing him and meeting him. The time is C:30 and the place, the Old Ch:ipel. Everybody come. At the weekly meeting of the “Y” Council, W'ednesday, the Thanksgiv ing plans for the Community Service Committee were announced.
