McEwen Raises Vegetables Psychologically
“A-tis-kit, a-tas-kit have you
seen my little basket t” is the new
refrain which is already well-known
to Salem faculty and which is work
ing its way well into town. Who
wrote it? None other than Dr. Noble
R. MeEwen, Professor of Psychology
at Salem. Dr. McEwen’s latest ex
periment is how to raise vegetables
the psychological way.
In time, little plants suck their
garden spot behind Twin Castles
Apartments, residence of the Mc-
Ewens. There* beside a gurgling little
brook, Dr. McEwen, forgetting his
curves of distribution, planted his
vegetable garden in mathematically
perfect straight rows.
In time, little? plants struck their
pale green noses out of the ground,
and Dr. McEwen had a new problem
on his hands—^to study the indi
vidual nature of each little squash
or bean sprout and help it to de
velop to its greatest capacity. In
ferior and superior plants receivfed
special care at the hands of Dr. Me
Ewen, and the end of the season
brought amazing results. There
wasn’t a singlcf maladjusted vege
table in the whole garden!
The McEwen achievement was re
cognized by the Winston-Salem club
of Little Gardeners; Dr. MeEwen
was invited to exhibit a basket of
his prize vegetables at the Forsyth
County Fair held here last week—
(The basket is shown under the
gourd in the picture above.)
Dr. McEwen is modestly proud of
his vegetable venture. That’s why
he stops his car to pick up passengers
and tells them about his vegetables.

Library Receives
New Dictionary
A new addition to the library is
the recently completed Dictionary of
American English. This dictionary
is in four volumes and was edited
by Sir William A. Craigie, co-editor
of the Oxford English Dictionary,
and James E. Hulbe^t, professor of
English at the University of Chica
go-
This new dictionary includes words
and phrases of American origin,
and every word denotes something
which has a real connection with the
development of the country and the
history of its people.
The editors selected the end of
the nineteenth century as a fitting
point at which to terminate the ad
mission of new words. They also
restricted the inclusion of slang and
dialect words to those which are
of early date or special prominencf.
Stamp and Bond Sale
Is Not Up to Par
The total sale of War Bonds and
Stamps during last week’s drive
amounted to only $64.50. This in
cluded two bonds bought by the
faculty.
“We must remember ‘the war isn’t
won yet’ ”, reminds Dodie Bayley,
who is in ehfirge of sales. Students
may' purchase bonds and stamps in
the dining room at lunch or dinner
time on Thursdays, and excess
stamps will be sold in the dormi
tories at 10 o’clock on Thursday
nights.
In Clewell, “Wink” Wall has
charge of sales on the first iloor;
Dee” Little, second floor; Peggy
Davis, third floor; in Society and
Lehman, Teau Council; and in
Sisters’, Strong, and Bitting, Dodie
Bayley.
Sales this year have not met last
year’s standards when purchases
were made by a smaller student
body.
