“He that denies that theaters
Should be—
He may as well deny a
World to me.”
The Raleigh Little Theatre
has been at work for some time
on the production, “The Man
Who Came to Dinner,” which
will open March 6. Of special in
terest to Meredith students is
that Miss Janet Anderson of the
Music department is in the play.
The six choir boys who have a
part in the production are from
the boys’ choir of the Holy Trin
ity Church. This boys’ choir is
under the direction of Miss
Anderson. Bill Alspaugh will
play the title role.
It will be interesting to see
the stunts on March 8. I never
cease to be amazed at the talent
displayed on stunt night. People
you’ve seen every day in the
year turn up on the stage and
do a bang-up job. There are
always laughs and exciting mo
ments to be experienced as the
four classes present their stunts.
PALIO CELEBRATION

numerals. Areas of added com
petition are the bicycle race and
the original song contest. Each
class has its banner and chooses
a judge. Skits add to the
pageantry.
The winner is awarded a ban
ner by Dr. Helen Price who be
gan the tradition in 1942. The
numerals of the winning class
are placed upon it each year.
Palio is combined with Stunt
Night which has been a part of
Meredith since 1913. Originally
both were held in the fall. Last
year Stunt Night was moved
into the spring. This year Palio
has alsobeen transferred, making
both take place in the spring
for the first time.
Under the chairmanship of
the class vice-presidents, Ruth
Ann Simmons, Elizabeth Ham
rick, Carolyn Little, and Becky
Calloway, each girl takes part
in the marching parade and in
the various committees.
Chairman of the committees
And who knows—maybe your
class will win!
The Meredith College Little
Theatre, at the end of February,
was still undecided about its
choice for the spring production
and about dates for try-outs.
Keep an eye on the Johnson Hall
bulletin board. There’ll be a no
tice as soon as things are definite.
I know that all of you do a lot
of listening to the radio, but the
question is, “Do you listen to the
good programs?” The radio of
fers many opportunities along
the theatre line. Be sure and hear
these programs. And just so
you’ll be able to take sides on
the question of the value of TV,
why don’t you see what you can
on the set in the Bee Hive. Then
you can decide which is better—
TV or radio.

How “big” should
government be ?
Lincoln was President at a time when the federal goverm
ment had to take away from its citizens more rights and
responsibilities than ever before.
But he didn’t like it. He believed, with the writers of the
Constitution and the Declaration, that our government should
protect people’s independence, not push people around.
“In all that the people can individually do as well for
themselves, government ought not to interfere, Lincoln
once said.
Lincoln never let Americans forget that. He kept remind
ing the nation that the government’s vast wartime powers
must be only temporary.
He made powerful enemies. For there are always those
who want to see government run things — and run people —
permanently.
We have them today. They think up all kinds of reasons
why the federal government should take over this or that
business, industry or service. They never say they want
socialism. Maybe they don t even realize it. But that s
actually what they propose.
Most Americans don’t want socialism any more than you
do. The job is to recognize it - and halt it - no matter what
disguise it wears.
• • •
The people who plan and work for a socialistic U.S.A. know
that permanent control of a few key industries and services
will give government the power to take over just about every
thing. One of the key industries that they’re trying to take
over is electric light and power. That’s why we bring this
warning to you.
