Russia rejected the West’s proposal for this confer ence thereby indicating her atti tude toward East-West agree ment. The results of the national elections was a victory for .the Democrats in New Jersey where the gubernatiorial race was won by a Democrat for the first time in 10 years. In Virginia Democrat Thomas B. ^tanly was elected governor. In Wicconsin, which is always Republican, a Democrat was elected national representa tive. In New York’s mayoral con test, Democrat Robert F. Wagner, Jr. was victorious with a land slide.

Judge Addresses Students & Grads At Homecoming Attorney General Brownell has charged loimer President Tru man with keeping Harry Dexter White in the government and even promoting him with full knowledge~of his spying activi ties.

JUDGE SUSIE SHARP King Ibn Saud of "Saudi Arabia died November 9. The 73-year- old king will be succeeded by his son. Prince Saud, 50 years old, who has been proclaimed king. Ibn Saud, during World War II, played a key role by helping keep open allied communications be tween the Easi and West. He was one of the world’s richest men as a result of the vast sup ply of oil in his kingdom. The eyes of many are turned toward the Caribbean. This sea is crossed by American ships every day enabling them to bring their cargoes to the States days sooner, than if they came by Pacific Ocean on up to the Cal ifornia ports. But the Communist activity is becoming stronger in parts of the Caribbean. Russian submarines could plug up the Panama Canal and stop ship movements across the Caribbean if the Communist get control' of these Caribbean lands. Serious trouble could result even if the Communist come close to making tl\e Caribbean a “Soviet Lake.” 0 BAPTIST PRAYER MEET Saturday, November 7, brought many smiling faces to FMC. Th^- old girls had come home. At eleven o’clock a program and business meeting were held in the auditorium. Highlights of the program were two selections “The 43rd Psalm” and “My Bon nie Lass, She Smiles,” by a por tion of the choral club under the direction of Professor James Cobb; a piano solo, “Chopin’s Schezro in C Snarp Minor,” play ed by Professor John Sinclair; last but not least an address by Miss Susie Sharp of Reidsville, North Carolina, first woman judge of the Superior Court. The topic of her address was “The Obligation of the Educated Woman to Democracy.” Empha sis was placed on the importance of women workmg as citizens, regardless of the job, helping to build character in the next gene ration, and of upholding moral and Christian standards for the benefit of all. Her solution for peace was based on the strength ening of the power of'the United Nations, having leaders in which we have confidence, co-operation, and the realization that other people have thp. right to their opinion. But most important of all, everyone must be alert, in terested, and informed about world affairs. Her closing re mark, “We must be up and a'- bout our Master’s business, be cause it’s only five minutes till midnight,” is worthy of much thought and should be remem bered. --0- In spiritual preparation for the revival which tegan at the local Baptist Church on November 15, the campus Baptist students held prayer services each night last week. It is hoped that many of the students will attend the re vival meetings.

Martha Ann Morrison was elected President. Alice Brantley, secretary and treasure, and Shirley Kearns, as sistant secretary and treasurer. The Methodists students were fortunate to have the local church send two delegates to a district conference at ECC in Greenville. These delegates were Sue Little- wood and Alive Br'antley. This group planned for the fall retreat which would plan the State con ference and they also planned and talked about the national Quadrenial Conference to be held in Lawrence, Kansas. Our girls are hoping to have at least one delegate to this conference. Hatcher: “My uncle can play the piano by ear”. Harlow: “That’s nothing. My uncle fiddles with his whiskers.” Diner: “Have you any wild duck?” Waiter: “No, sir, but we can take a tame one and irritate it for you.” The Baptist girls of Flora Mac donald enjoyed a most inspiring week end at the Baptist Student Union Convention in Winston- Salem, November 6, 7, 8. Those attending were Naomi Lee, Lois Tedder, Annie Byrd, Mildrer Butler, Juanita Buffkin, Clara Lyle, Shirley K'ger, Shirley Bul lard and Joan Hester. The theme of the convention was “Work and Worship”. Inspir ing messages on these subjects were heard. Among the speakers were Dr. N. A.
