Congratulat ions
To Faculty Sires
New Cars Bask In Sun
Congratulations are in order to
many member*! of the college fa
culty. Apparently this has been
a very proeperous year for the
propctunders of knowledge, for
over balf of this number ihiave had
new additions to their families.
Among the group to be con
gratulated are Dean and Mrs. Mes-
ftfck, Dr. and Mrs. Collijn«, Prof.
and Mrs. Howell, Mr. and Mrs. A.
T. West, and even (please sir)
Dr. Clark. Now who would have
thought it of Dr. Clark? And a
new Packard lat that! Yes sir
he’e a oar owner of the highest
rank. Profs. Dickinsion and Stew
art are .sport; ng neiw Dodge
coupes, while Prof. Moore inolls
around in a new Hudson 112. Re-
trember Miss Howard’s little
“Ohevy”? This yeiar ahe changed
her mind aoid became the proud
owner of a Plymouth.
Wonders of wanderls, Mrs. Jo'hn-
80ini, who won’t let anyone get
lahaad of her, is planning to trade
in “Old Lronsides” 'C'n some new
model. Tihere is much specula
tion in the air as to which is the
best looking car salesman that
Mrs. Jwhmeon has been seen rid
ing with. That Oldsmo'bile man,
especially when riding in that
“gkrious” new convertible icoupe,
hai his points. However, the
stately gentleman who brought the
Packard sedian out as hiard to beat.
This "event” is being anticipated
with a great deal O'f interest, so
may the best man (car?) win!
Textile Industry
List’nin’
Tlhe .change of time on the big
broadcasting sysvtems have the ma
jority of us somewhat befoiddled
as to (when our favonitJe pirogram
comee on the air, but we have a
few general datee that big or
chestras will be playing in the im
mediate future.
Piaul Whiteman will be playing
Bt Duke Universdty on May 13 and
14. Tliree performances daily . . .
Gene Krupa opens with his hand
at Atlantic City this month and,
it ifi rumored, iB getting $250 ad
vance royalty on each wax plate
he makes for Brun.*wnick . . . Fred
dy Martin debuts lat the Cocoamut
Grove in Los Angeles this month
. . . Leo Reisman is at the W’al-
dnrf again for the summer . . .
Paul W’hiteman will also play for
the “Ball of Tomorrow” at the
World’s Fair in ’39 . . . Ouir vote
for sweet music goes to Tommy
Dorsey aad W'ayne King . . . Some
swing fanatics may call “The
Waltz King” ‘corney’* or ‘on the
cob’ but we still insist it ii migh
ty sweet music . . . Seems a pity
that Jan Garber, Glen Gray, and
Ted Weems, as well as Wayne
King, aren’t getting the following
they are entitled to.
Journalism
(Continued from page 3)
thing goes. Oif courae most of
them are on the “up and up”, but
being in isome cases directly con-
ntL'ted with politics and the under
world, crookedness is sure to ex
ist.
The would-be journalist must
r.iot get the idea that his life will
be spent watching firee ball games,
enjoying the company of society
“deb?” at swell iparties, or merely
hanging around a police ‘tourt.
There is another side to his day’s
W'ork back at the desk.
There is no ro m far the shift
less fortune seeker, or the illi
terate. Only the man or wjman
who enjoys the hum of a busy of
fice, the gatherin'g of the daily
doings of people, the sensation of
being the first to get there, and
thrill of reading a i^heet of print
ed matter that comes from his
tv.vn pen.il, and it must be pn.li-
if'ic, should even consuder joining
the thrjngs, who call themselves
hewspdpermen aad journalists.
Although there is no set stand
ard, employers flavor college men
and women for textile work. This
w;.rk as (primarily routine, but in
telligence is required to operate
the machinery efficiently.
In this section of the country
full-fashioned hosiery and cctton
textiles head productiiom lists.
Half hose, rayon^ and other tex
tiles have very important indus
tries, all o. Of tJieae, full-fashion
ed hofliery offers the greatest op-
p>ortunity for the college gradu
ate. Avenage knitters and top
pers working 40 hours per week
average from $35 to $45 weekly.
The mechanics in most plants earn
$60 per week and (foremen about
$100. The me;-.hanics and foremen
are usually selected from the
workmen in the plamt and given
special tiraining by the employers.
Women working as loopers and
toppers earn from $18 to $30
weekly for 30 hours of work.
Jobs in other departments of
hosiery mills range lower than in
full-faehioned, but ioi very few
casies aire lower than $18 weekly
for men and $12 for women.
In the textile mills the wage
range is comparable to those re
ceived an hosiery mills, and in the
case of exceiptional weavers, range
from $60 to $100 weekly.
However, the textile miarket fluc
tuates more frequently than the
hosiery market, anid the possibility
for steady work is not as definite.
Another determining factor in this
field is the type of machinery
used. One woiuld be wise to
choose the newer types of machin-
enyi and plants.
Engineering
Due to the large development
that is being made in science to
day, good engineers are needed in
m>os.t fields, although the field of
civil engineering ii3 at present
overcrowded. Electrical engineer
ing has been greatly stimulated
by the large expansion in rural
electrification. In the mechanical
engineering field the Diesel mo
tor is being perfected. It is re-
plac'ng the gas motor very rapid
ly, because of its cost of op-
' eration. There should be many
I openings in this ifiield for young
j engineers. Television is the next
I thing in radio, and just as soon
I as the sale of radici? begir.s to
decrelase television will be put on
; the market. Diesel engineering,
I television, and air conditioining
S'.-e the three fields thiat are open,
and in which much progress will
be made in the next few years.
In theipast, air conditioning has
been installed largely because it
pays. The future will see the de
velopment of the application for
personal comfort, health, and sus
tained effocnency in private of
fices and particularly in homes.
W’hile theaters and stores first
introdiuoed air oonditioning favcT-
able to the publi^:, the standardi-
I zation of air conditioning on rail
I roads has been even m . -e impres
sive as a meanis of producing pub
lic acceptance. When persons ride
on air-conditioned trains, work in
air-conditioned stores, eat in air-
conditioned restaurants, and re
lax in air-conditioned theaters,
they are naturally not going to be
satisfied until they hiave aar-con-
ditioned homes.
Golembek Again Takes
Golden Gloves Match
Joe Golembek entered another
Golden Gloves Tourniament last
week sponsored by the High
Point Y. M. C. A. And, needless
to' say, he came through with the
usual belt awarded the cham
pions. Joe took with him one of
his sparring partners, Itney Chad
wick, who is a Hghtweigiht. Chad
wick punched hiG way through the
contest in the Gio^lembeck style, and
won himself a belt also.
Joe fougiht twice. He won the
first fight by a technical knock
out shortly after the second round
got underway, and the second
fight was awarded him on a de
cision. Joe says he knocked New
man (who comes fi'-m Catawba)
down no less than an evtn dozen
times. Anyone who doubts this
fewijuid see Joe. Observers !of the
fight say that the Indian wais
very bloody, and was under the
care of a doctor the rest of the
nigiht.
Chadwick didn’t get a knockout,
but he gained dtioisions over both
of the men he fought. The names
of all the men the Elon fighters
met were not available. Coad-
w'j;k, who hails from Beaufort,
“the high tide” country, is a foot
ball man, and should see action
next year on the gridiron as well
as in the ring.
James Rumley, a day student,
and Frank Hayes from the high
school, aiijo entered the tourna
ment. Rumley lost in the first
fight, and Hayes came through to
dhe semi-finals.
Commercial Club Has
Interesting Trip
April 19 found half of the Elon
CommeTcial Club sitarting spryly
cut fcir Greensboro at 8:15 a. m.
on an inspection tour of the Rem
ington Rand Co. and the Pilot Life
Insurance Co. Five-thirty found
that half coming biack to Elon—
not as spryly lais th'ey had started
out, but all wearing a happy and
contented amile. The other half
of the Club, but not the better
half, took the same trip April 25.
Of course getting out of classes
a day makes lany student hci;py;
but besides this attraction a most
interesting day lay ahead of tine
Elonites. The Remington Rand
Company t«ok much time to ex
plain in detail the different
styles of filing and showed the
various tjipes of files. During
luincheon, a social ihour was en
joyed, and the group entertained
Mrs. H'owell, sponsor of the group,
with many jokes and bits of non
sense.
The next stop in the itinerary
was the Pilot Life Insurance Com
pany, between Greensboiro and
HigTn Point. A tour of this com
pany proved most valuable and
interesting. One of the largest
offices operating, it has much to
offer ito the business student in
the way of every modern con
venience and machines. It gave
the students an idea of the busi
ness world and what to expect.
The company extended mamy
co'urtesies, and made the inspec
tion tour a most enjoyable one.
The tour was part of the
Spring program of the Commer
cial Club.
Ministers On
Annual Outing
Tihe Elon Ministerial group
closed their year’s activity vv’ith
a fish-fry at the home of Emersor*
J. Sanderson near Brown Summit
on Monday of this week. The
group m'otored to the home of Mr.
Sandersion and spent the after
noon fishing (no fish caugflit—
store fiish used), and indulging
in iministerial gossip. Those in
cluded in the party were Dr.
French, Dr. Bowden, President
MurcCiison, Moody, Hedgebeth,
Bowers, Sanderson, Dollar, Coop
er, McDade, Elmcre, Vore, Sears,
and Hackney. The fish, com,
bread, and coffee “were the best
ever made, becauise of the iculinary
experience of the two married
cooks, Sanderson and Vore.
All atpparently enjoyed the gath
ering, ar.id after President Murchi-
B'O'n and Dollar washed the dishes,
the group (returned, feeling a bit
fisihy around the gills.
