Page Six HIGH LIFE FLOOD CONTROL OF MISSISSIPPI VALLEY IS TOPIC OF DEBATE Henry Biggs Describes Condi tion of Flooded Area and Work of Red Cross DISCUSS ALUMNI PICNIC Members of Club Decide That the En tertainment Will Be Held on Saturday, November 12 ‘ •Ttesolved, That tlie Federal goveni- iiiont should t;dve over flood control ot the Mississipui valley," was the query argued in a bill for discaission at the meeting of the Creensboro High School Debating Club Friday, October 28th. Henry Biggs made the majority re- {»ort. He described vividly the condi tion in the flooded area, the tremendous loss of life and property, and the suf fering of the refugees. 'Phe Red Cross, he stated, did all within its power to alleviate the disaster, yet the task was too great, re(]uiring rather a force such as the Federal government. In its ca- {)acity of protector of the people it is the duty of this government to take over control of the district in prepara tion for a similar disaster. Ed Kuykendall, reporting for the minority, maintained that such meas ures were unnecessary, and that is they were needed that staffs government, rather than the Federal, was the fac tor to a])peal to. lie pointed out that the floods of a series nature had oc curred over a hundred years ai)art in the past. .T. I). McXairy maintained that pre vention was the matter of prime im portance. and that the sum necessary to (‘arr.v out such i)roject was far too giavit to be raised by one or a group of states. Kuykendall stated that he would gladly (;ontribute to an,v fund the Federal government sought to raise if those favoring such a step would onlj^ show how the floods were to l)e pre vented. Harold Cone and Ta)uis Brooks also spoke on the bill. .T. I). McXairy moved that the discussion I)e continiied at a future meeting. The chairman of the social committee reimrted on the matter of an alumni ])icnic, the club voting to set the date as Saturday, No vember 12th. THE SLIDING STEPS The Slow. Slippery Sement Sliding Boards dote on leather. As you skate slowly down them they see into shriek, “Leather, Leather!" Many poor lit tle boys and girls have had their soles worn down by prefering this sort of amusement to some other kind. The Slow, Slippery Sement Sliding- Boards create friction. This is what our science teachers tell us, and maybe they are right. The Slow, Slippery Sement Sliding Boards are annoying. Their screech is blood-curdling, and sounds someAvhat like the grating of a shovel on the side walk. and someone snoring. And what ar(' these sliding boards? 'Fhey are simply the stone curbings of the stejis that lead down to the cafe teria. !Mrs. Foltrane was having a .Journalism class, Suddenly a tr.iin (‘ame blowing past, Mrs. Foltrane had to stop her chiss And let that blowing train go past.

They had had a hard time trying to parler Fran ca is, especially when ordering meals. Oiui day the.v entered a petit cafe. The pere said, “Bringes-nous some flshe. It hot king aver-vous?" "Monsieur," disait le garcon, “je iie vous comprend." “Fishe, flshe," said the pere and mere. "Je ne wante pas flshe," said Billie. “Je wante bbns-bons." “Bons-bons?" said the waiter, and his fa-e lighted Tip as he hurried away. Tout de suite he returned with a box of candy. “Non, non," said the pere. “Nous wantons flshe." The waiter took the bons-bons away and came baiL. “One voulez-vous? Nous avons du bons poissons." “Non, non," said the mere. “Nous wantons flshe." Then petit Billie said, “Briugez-uous flshe," and he pointed to a large bowl of gold-fish. The waiter smiled as if he under stood and hurried away. Billie's par ents sighed with relief and compli mented their petit son. The waiter came back and proudly si't three glasses of water before their astonished eyes. “Oh, non, non," said the pere. “Fishe —trois fishe," and he arose and ])ointed directly to a gold-fish. Le garcon seemed surprised but he hurried away only to return avec three l)etits boxes of sardines. Ex:!sperat('d. they did not know what to do. Finally, Billie suggested that they try wliat the waiter had spoken of—“pois sons.'’ ITu-.v pleased, the waiter went once more to the chef. When he returned, bearing fish, the three were dumbfoundetl. “Now, regardez votre petit tils,'’ said Billie proudly. Dis, grand mere, i)our(iuoi tu ne fais [las couper les cheveux? •le ne peux pas, mou enfant—ils ne Koiii ])as a moi. A student of G. H. S., accompany ing a member of the fairer sex down the street the other day, was seen to tip his h;it rather unexpectedly when the girl reached the entritnce of Farke's.

SENIOR PROOFS “Did you ever see such a profile V’ “loook at that expression on her face; it is ahnost angelic. Rajdiael should have had that face to copy for one of his Aladonnas." “He must have been inspired by something funny." “Her hair is perfectly beautiful, and look at those eyes—aren't they heaven ly?'’ “Isn't she solemn?
