GUILFORDIAN
GOVERNMENT AND
CITIZENSHIP ARE
UMSTEAD'S TOPICS
Democratic Candidate for Con
gress Gives Non-Partisan
Talk on Politics.
CITIZENSHIP GREAT DUTY
Every Nation Depends Materially On
Agriculture, Industry and
Commerce.
William H. I'mstead of Durham,
Democratic candidate for Congress
from the newly created sixth district,
was with us for chapel Friday, Octo
ber T, and gave an excellent talk on
matters of importance in this "open
season" in the political field.
Mr. I'mstead said the ballot is the
sovereign right of every American citi
zen. unless that citizen destroys his
own right, and it is bis privilege to
select those candidates which iie thinks
most nearly meet the requirements of
the hour.
In this way a party is given the ma
chinery of government for 11 definite
number of years. Then that party must
justify its tenure of office before the
people. The citizen is requiring more
this year, for the successful pirty must
convince the public that in its policy
and program it has a solution to the
present-day problems.
Citizenship is the greatest duty of
every American, and it' we accept the
blessings of liberty we must accept its
obligations. Mr. I'msiead pointed out
that every nation depends materially
on three things: agriculture, industry.
iiikl commerce, anil one cannot be
touched anywhere without tlieni nil
being touched everywhere. The prob
lem confronting Amerieii today is to
restore these in this proper balance.
INTERESTING PROGRAM
IN JOINT Y MEETING
Getting a Kick Out of Life Is Discussed
From Three Viewpoints by
Three Speakers.
TRIO PLAYS HANDEL'S "LARGO'
"Getting a Kick Out of Life." was
the subject of discussion in the joint
V meeting September 20. 10M2. in Me
morial llall. The subject was enlarged
upon in three ways by three speakers.
Sarah lavis explained just what en
joyment or "kick" could be received
from entering into the social life, espe
daily of Guilford College. The idea
of her discussion was that entering
fully into social life helped prepare
one for the hard knocks t> come later
in life.
Frankie Allen spoke on the value
of a sense of humor, lie said that the
more one laughs at things the easier
it is not to worry or be pessimistic:
that the person with a sense of humor
is tlie one who feels superior.
Gertrude Meal's brought out the idea
of religion in the full enjoyment of
life. She gave a list of Beatitudes
for the student and told just how re
ligion must intertwine itself with all
their activities, and not only be a
"Sunday religion."
Following the opening exercises
which were led by Jessie Rowen and
Mamie Rose McGinnis, an instrumen
tal trio, composed of Claire Wisner,
pianist; Naomi Rinford. violinist: and
Frances Alexander, cellist, played
"Largo." by Handel.
Mary Richardson presided over the
meeting. Closing prayer was given by
Ktliel Swaini, president of the Y.W.I '.A.

Y Sponsors Annual Battleground Hike
Greatly Enjoyed by Guilford Students
"How do you feel this morning?"
queries one hiker of another. The
answer, "My legs hurt!" is of
course not universal and does not
pertain to those hikers who rode
to and from the Battleground. But
for those who walked eight miles
with 11 smile there should be a
rousing clieer or at least some en
couragement.
The large group was broken Into
smaller ones, stretching across the
road, singing and laughing as they
went. '"Tramp, tramp, tramp"
seemed to be the theme song of
every group.
The old iron pump looked ex
tremely inviting to those walking j
students upon their arrival at the
Battleground. They did not seen)
to mind the taste of the iron wa

the benches before which I)r.

COMMISSIONER SHAW
TALKS ON FARMING
County Commissioner Urges
Students to Consider
It As Vocation.
FARM GOOD INVESTMENT
"I wish that every one could spend
.•it least two years nn a farm, for that
experience develops in man what no
other profession can," stated Mr. It.
Flake Shaw ill Thursday's chapel.
('onfronting the problem of choosing
a profession, lie asserted that fanning
is worthy of serious consideration, oe
eause a farm is quite a good invest
ment, incurring 110 very destructive
>
tiucttuitions. 'l'lie farm offers good citi
zenship to anyone who will abide by
its laws of healthy living and outdoor
exercise. Nowhere else is Mi'- allowed
as much freedom to develop one's own
thought as iu rural life.
He assured us that fanning was by
no means only for the ignorant class of
people, because George Washington, a
doscendent of a highly cultured family,
was a farmer. It was lie who dis
covered tiie principle of crop rotation.
Iu conclusion he urged the student
body to study seriously the advantages
of farming, even if some other profes
sion were finally chosen.
CLASS IN STAR-GAZING
PROVING VERY POPULAR
On several different evenings of late
Dr. l'erislio has been conducting the
astronomy section of the Geology 5
cl-iss. The group has usually started
from Memorial hall about s o'clock
and has spent an hour in listening to
I>r. l'erislio about the stars and point
out tlie various planets and constella
tions. This work supplements the regu
lar lectures of Geology 5 and is prov
ing to be au interesting and well-at
tended class.
American and English soldiers
were buried side by side, and many
other interesting tilings.
After the speech, people were to
be seen wandering through the
woods seeking sticks. The boys
seemed to be either Tarscans or apes
as they climbed the trees; but suc
cess was on their side. 'iTiey did
get sticks, and they did not fall.
They proceeded from the woods to
the lire and soon were at work
burning marshmallows, and many
were the marshmallows and apples
eaten.
After a brief look around at the
monuments and other things of
interest, it was time to start the
homeward march. Strange, how
often one person would wonder how
far it was to the campus, then an
other. The bills seemed higher
(maybe they really were) and the
road longer.
After a while the faces became
grim with determination, and great
was the joy on perceiving the cam
pus quite close. My. liow their faces
brightened: But some were a sorry
sight to behold as they limped into
supper.
TABOR, MASTER OF
GRANGE, IS HEARD
Address Centers Around Agri
culture in Relation to
Economics.
PARADOX OF THE AGES
I.ouis .1. Taber. of Columbus, Ohio,
.Master of the National Grange, spoke
Thursday in chapel.
The National Grange is made up of
small rural organizations linked to
gether to form county, state, and a na
tional Grange, and there is an Interna
tional Grange formed of sixty Na
tional granges.
"We are facing a paradox of the
ages." Mr. Taber said. "There are fields
of unused wheat in the western states,
and warehouses are overflowing with
cotton, wool, and other raw materials,
while thousands have insuflicient cloth
ing and face starvation in the winter."
"Civilization lias gone forward
breaking down barriers, but civilization
bus crumpled and become powerless;
and everywhere there is a vast over
pr iduction."
Tiie answer to this challenge of
abundance is that the statesmen of the
future must be also economists. The
problem can not be solved by sliift
lessness, ignorance, or old-fashioned
methods.
Organization is needed, an organized
marketing system and collective bar
saining will enable the producers and
especially the farmer to consume more
of the dollar.
The cost of government must be re
duced. The cost of legislation and ad
ministration has increased tremen
dously, and is still increasing. Taxes
must be cut and only by electing the
right candidates can this he done.
A sound policy is of great im
portance. Legislation would be effec
tive in conserving the soil of our coun
try.
