Plans for the FTA Christmas
party Jo be held December 17 were
discussed at the December 3 meet
ing of ACC’s Cly.de A. Erwin Chap
ter. A committee was apiKiinted to
plan for this occasion, with Annie
Morris Joyner as chairman.
Speaking at the December 3rd
meeting was the Rev. Robert
Bradshaw, Pastor of the First
Methodist Church of Wil.son. Mr.
Bradshaw talked of his years of
teaching at the .Methodist Orphan
age In Win.ston-Salem and told
many interesting stories. He told
an inspiring story of a small orph
an girl who spent her last nickel to
buy a Christmas pre.sent for him.
She bought him a wooden horse,
which he showed to the group. He
said that it was his most treasured
possession, for it was the only
thing he owned that had cost
everything a person owned.
After Mr. Bradshaw’s talk a con
test was held to select a motto
for the chapter. All the members
wrote mott<«?s which were Judged
by the sponsors, Mrs. Virginia
House and Mr. L. L. Murray. Rich
ard Swain won the contest for the
winning motto to be adopted by
the chapter, ’The motto was: "We
learn today for practice tomor
row.”
In recognition of the great in
crease in the local FTA member
ship for the current academic year,
the Clyde A. Erwin Chapter has
been selected as a Victory Honor
Roll Chapter.
Soloists Announced
For ACC Cantata
! "The annual this year is going
' to be absolutely different from any
other ever produced at ACC. ’
.states Felix Labaki. editor of THE
PINE KNOT. ’The main change is
I a change of style. Every year un-
I til this one the annual has l>een
j more or less formal. This .vcar the
i pictures are more or less informal
I with the pictures of the different f
1 organizations being Indicative of
that organization.
Another great change in the an-
. nual will 1)6 the type of printing
' used. TTic annual I* usually en-
graved: this year it will be lltho-
; graphed, a new process which is
' (htaper than engraving.
The deadline is December 19, the
day before Christmas holidays. If
the annual is ready for the press
at this time it'wiil be back much
s<xmer than it usually is.
Credit is due to Hay Tissot, stu
dent photographer, for his contribu
tion to the Pine Knot. H ehas done
all of the photography except the
class photographs, which were
done by Raines and Cox. There
will ^ilso be illustrations from the
ACC art department.
'I'his is a student t)ook with the
greatest part of the work t>eing
done by a staff of students. Mr
Arnold and Dr. Hartsock are the
faculty co-sponsors. "Mickey Ray
nor Is the business manager, and
she is doing an efficient job at the'
j financial post,” commented Felix.
I "I couldn’t ask for better co-opera-
I tion from the staff.”

During Holidays
Evening School began its
year at ACC this fall.
Dr. C. H. Hamlin began an ex
tension Course in Septeml)er of 1931
in which education was the chief
subject. Twenty-one students open
ed the first class in room seven of
Kinsey Hall. Their classes met
afternoon and evenings one night
The present system'of Evening
School was begun in 1930, branch
ing out to include such courses as
English, Commercial Law, Art.
Business and News Writing and
Journalism. These classes meet
now as in 1931 one night a week ]
for two hours or more beginning |
at seven o'clock. '
In the depression year of 1931.
tuition was two and a half dollars I
per semester hour; high prices of
the postwar years has brought the
fee per hour to eight dollars. ,
’Two drivers participated in a
road test on a 295-mlle stretch of
highway in Kansas. Their per
formance figures, under typical
driving Conditions, arc enlighten
ing:
Driver "A”: Top speed reached
Im.p.h.l, 65; average speed, 46;
No. cars passed, 126; elapsed driv
ing time, 6 hrs., 28 min.
Driver "B”: ’Top speed reached
(m.p.h.l, SO; average speed, 43;
No. cars passed, 62. Elapsed time,
6 hrs., SO min.
Driver "A” saved only 25 min
utes in nearly 300 miles; he past
ed twice as many cars (each pass
ing being a potential accident),
u»«J 11 per cent more gasoline,
and 50 per cent more oil.
Was it worth It?
Last year 9,000 pedestrians were
killed In automobile accidents —
5,600 of them in urban areas and
3,400 in rural areas.
You may be the world's best
driver - but what about the other
fellow?
Drivers under 25 yeart of age
are involved in 28 per cent of the
nation's fatal traffic accidents.
All traffic signs mean caution.
Caution pays near holidays.
Slow up and grow up.
