The Belles of Saint Mary’s October 28, Mr. Wingfield Returns To SMS To Give Seeond Interesting Assembly Program Russian Situation Aired by Raleigh Speaker Alvin Wingfield, official of the Royal Typewriter Company, spoke in assembly on October 20. Mr. Wingfield, who spoke last year at Saint Mary’s, returned at the request of the student body to discuss the Russian situation. lie began his talk by showing sev eral elementary textbooks and an issue of the official Soviet newspaper, Pravda. The consequences of Russia’s pos sessing the atomic bomb was dis cussed by Mr. Wingfield. lie com pared poisonous gas with the atomic bomb; Mr. Wingfield stated that the atomic bomb was unlike gas because the atomic bomb could be used to' wipe out an industrial area and thus disable a country, whereas gas would injure only a few soldiers. The coun try which uses the bomb first will therefore paralyze the other nation’s industrial centers and facilities for recrimination. The possibility of a break-up in the Bolshevik Party -upon the death of Stalin was pointed out by Mr. Wingfield. With the Russians fight ing among themselves, the threat of a "World War would be diverted for a short time. Mr. Wingfield said that he did not think that war was inevitable, for if he did, he would not waste his efforts in trying to educate Americans about Russia.

Students have given several suggestions for various improvements which they, as readers, -would like to witness in the future issues of the BELLES. It is hoped that ideas will prove beneficial to the staff in helping to make the BELLES a more interesting publication. Virginia McFarland: I think “Saint Sallies” should be more than a mere list of names. It Former SMS Belle Wed In Burlington Frances Elder: 1 think more jokes would be a helpful addition to the BELLES. Aurelia Fulton: T think Saint Sallies could be more personal. Also the record column could be left out of the issues, and in its place more feature stories con cerning girls or happenings in school. Sandra Sims: 1 think there could be an improvement in the way in w’hich elections are writ ten up. Martha McGnirk: 1 would like to see student polls on various questions or fads. Rosalie Huske: I think it would be of interest to the students if the BELLES could occasionally have an article about the activi ties of Saint Mary’s graduates. Alice Wilson: A serious love lorn column for sincere love prob lems -\vould be Avelcomed. (How ever, 1 am not speaking from a personal point of view!) Betty Bowles: I think the BELLES conld be -wittier. Sara Anne Proctor: I think the BELLES could change the way of writing up the personalities. Betty Bro-^vn Lewis: 1 -would like to see the impossible—funny papers in the BELLES. Olivia Lynch: 1 would like to see more of a variety of students in the article, Saint Sallies. I think people from every hall should be equally written up in each issue.
