Miss Wilhurta Horn spoke to the ‘ ^ ^ . i-i-- o:^ :^iwanis Club luncheon at the Sir Malter Hotel, April 5, 19,40. The subject of Miss Horn’s talk was the ^tuation in France, England, and Germany at the approach of the present war. Miss Horn gave another talk for ‘fie benefit of the Raleigh Book Club ut the home of Mrs. Althouse on March 18. Miss Horn, in native fiyrolian peasant costume, spoke on fie position of women in Europe. pupils of Miss Haig, Miss Scott, Miss Horn, and Mr. Bird gave their leint recital in the school auditorium .Pril 2 at five o’clock.

She gets so dis gusted with people who try a thing once and then say, “Oh, it wont work; throw it out.” Real student government takes years and needs persistence. We wonder whether Miss Scott will take that well-earned rest this summer, or find a new enthusiasm. . . . And indeed she is well up on her music, and has an amazing num ber of famous acquaintances. The poor music history students, since they have found that she even knows the man who wrote their textbook, have been afraid to say anything about anyone who hasn’t been dead a hundred years or so, for- ten to one the person in question is a per sonal friend of Miss Scott s.

It is quite an honor for Adelaide Curtis to be the Secretary of the Federation. Teeny Montgomery, 1938-39 student body president, was last year’s secretary to the associa tion, so the fact that Saint Mary’s has a student as a federation officer again, so soon, doubles the honor. When asked how she felt when she became the new secretary, Ade laide said in an excited voice, ^ Oh, I was so happy; I was so thrilled, really.” Adelaide told us that she gained some grand ideas from the Federa tion meeting, ideas which she intends to use next year.

He was a pillar saint who was reputed to have lived for thirty years on top of a sixty-foot column, from whence he exhorted his disci ples. He was the first of the colum nists, and the editor of The Belles is responsible for my being one of the last. It is tragic that so large a part of the income of the Government must now be expended for military pre paredness, but in the contemporary world of friction and conflict it is necessary national insurance against disaster. A strong program of national de fense in the United States is de signed for the preservation of peace. Those who fear that preparedness will lead to militarism which will in turn lead to war, should reflect that for a peace-loving nation like ours to be fully prepared for eventualities does not create the danger of war. War is not the logical, inevitable se quence of preparation, any more than peace is the logical, inevitable se quence of unpreparedness. And if war must come a well prepared na tion may defeat the adversary, while one with inadequate defense faces unspeakable calamity. Home—Chapel Hill.

She has the enviable record of being one of the first to know all the new girls. Maybe it’s her loud voice, or her sportsmanship, or the fact that she belongs to ’bout every organization in school; anyway, everybody knows Booker, too. Her originality is about as famous as her “alarm clock,” and all in all. Saint Mary’s would be pretty dull without her. For twelve years or more civil aviation in the United States has been growing steadily with ever in creasing safety. Almost two million passengers annually fly the domestic air lines of this country. This ex ceeds the total number of people transported by the combined lines of all Europe in normal times. There are probably students at Saint Mary’s who can remember when people used to say, “Well, I’d only fly if Lindbergh was the pilot.” It can now he said that travel by air is one of the safest methods of trans port. No country in the world can remotely approach the safety record of our air lines. Indeed the air transport system of the United States now equals the safety achievement of any other common carrier. For the year ending June 30, 1939, the scheduled air lines increased their safety record 50 per cent; they flew 21,654,000 airplane miles per fatal accident. On Tuesday, March 26, 1940, the air lines of the United States established a remarkable rec ord—one Avhole year of operation without a single fatality or serious injury. This historic achievement is attributed to better planes, better personnel, better airports and radio facilities, the Civil Aeronautics Au thority, and good luck. The first official census of any na tion was made by King David of Israel in 1017 B.C. The taking of this census was followed by three days of pestilence which cost the lives of 70,000 citizens.
