WEDNESDAY 5 P. M. ADDRE
PRESENTATION OF
Sweaters I’resented to Jordan, Whit
aker, Zaciiary, by Coach Jackson.
In spite of the heavy cover of snow
on the ground, the Wednesday morn
ing chapel sei’vice breathed of the
spirit of athletics. On this occasion
the beautiful Welfare trophy was pre
sented by Dr. Rondthaler to the Senior
team, which was represented by its
captain, Mabel Chinnis. The cup is
indeed a beautiful one and much ap
preciation to its donor, Mr. Sam E.
Welfare, has been expressed by the
college girls. The interest in athletics
by so public spirited a citizen is one
of never failing gratification to the
Salem girls.
Next Miss Jackson, head of the De
partment of Physical Education, an
nounced that three girls had won the
prescribed number of points necessary
for the winning of a sweater. These
sweaters are white Spalding slip-overs
wearing the yellow “S” in a circle in
the front. Before winning one of
these, a member of the Athletic Asso
ciation must win seven points for
three years, making a total of twenty-
one points. If more than seven points
are won in the year, only seven count
toward the final total. It is inter
esting to know that each of the three
winners had far surpassed the pres
cribed number of points each year.
Upon Miss Jackson’s request the
sweaters were presented by Dr. Rond
thaler to Misses Rachel Jordan, Mar
garet Whitaker and Elizabeth
Zachary.
The remainder of the chapel service
was devoted to a talk by Mrs. Hagen-
Smith, of the Southern Presbyterian
church, on the subject of Vocational
(Juidance. Her speech was full of in
spiration for both the present and the
future, and every one who heard
should be better able to meet her daily
tasks. She emphasized the impor
tance of living in the present as well
as in the future. Mrs. Hazen-Smith
will be at Salem for two more days.
Her time will be devoted to confer
ences with the students upon the sub
ject of their life work.
WRITES HISTORY OF MORAVIANS
Miss Adelaide Fries Author of Inter
esting Historical Volume.
“Records of the Moravians in North
Carolina” is the title of a new book
just published by the North Carolina
Historical Commission, of which Miss
Adelaide Fries, of this city, is the
author. This book is the first of a
series and gives the history of the
Moravians in North Carolina from
1752 to 1771.
The volume is handsomely bound in
red cloth and presents a most attrac
tive appearance. The frontispiece is
a reproduction of the tile page of the
first church register of Wachovia.
The book is dedicated by Miss Fries
to her father with the wording, “My
comrade in the silent places of his
torical research.”
The preface is by Bishop Edward
Rondthaler, of this city, in which he
says in part:
“The Moravians were acute and
watchful annalists. They recorded
not only the doings of their own re
ligious body, but made note of the
state of the weather, incidents of

travel, prevailing fashions, features
of topography. They mentioned the
many distinguished men of the state
who visited them, and whose descen
dants are a valuable element in our
population this day. ♦ *
“Of all this material Miss Fries has
made caieful and accurate use. The
charm and chief value of her work lies
in the fact trat she allows the Colonial
Fathers to speak for themselves. We
seem to live in their age of the world,
and not in ours. * * *
“With skilful hand the author
draws the picture of those sturdy,
self-sacrificing and devout men and
women, as they strive to form settle
ments in which their pious ideals
shall prevail with regard to what they
think and society should be.” * * *
The book is most interesting
throughout and Miss Fries is to be
complime,nted on the spljendid 'ar
rangement of these historical facts
she has assembled. The book reads
almost like fiction and is not only en
tertaining and instructive, but highly
fascinating from cover to cover.

The many good wishes Miss Arthur

more expressions of regret at the

February the third means “Salem
Day” to all Salem alumnae every
where, and it is always the occa.sion
of the annual meeting of the Winston-
Salem chapter of the Alumnae Asso
ciation. On Saturday afternoon there
was an unusually large crowd present
at the meeting, which was held in the
living room of Alice Clewell Building

interest and enjoyment.

Marion Follin, Mrs. J. Kenneth Pfohl

three, readings of poems by Miss Ler-
man. They were “Now”, "A Marriage

Miss Lou Shaffner, another beloved
teacher, who has been confined to her
bed for a year or more, remembered
th girls with greetings which were
read by Miss Emily Vaughn.
No alumnae gathering at Salem
would seem cornplete without one or
two piano selections by Miss Amy Van

DR. GRENFELL IS HEARD
BY LARGE AUDIENCE
His Absorbing Address on Labrador
Was Illustrated With Personally
Produced Films.
In spite of the inclement weather,
a large and appreciative audience
assembled in Memorial Hall, Salem
College Tuesday afternoon at 4:30
o’clock to hear Dr. Wilfred T. Gren
fell, famous medical missionary to
Labrador, lecture on his experiences
in that country. He came to the city
under the auspices of the Rotary Club
and Salem College.
Dr. Grenfell left late yesterday
afternoon for High Point, where he
delivered a lecture last night.
In his lecture yesterday afternoon
tlie speaker gave an interesting in
sight into conditions in the frozen
territory in which he labored for
thirty years as a medical missioary.
His description of the life of the deep
sea fishermen on this peninsula was
received with an unusual amount of
interest by the audience.
Dr. Grenfell illustrated his lecture
with motion pictures and slides. The
results of thirty years’ work were
plainly portrayed by the pictures,
which were photographed under the
personal direction of tlie missionary.
Through the pictures the audience
gained a clearer insight into the work
than could have been given in any
other work.
The speaker stated that one of the
most interesting features of his work
was the quick response by the natives
to all efforts put forth in their behalf.
He outlined the work ho has been
doing as follows, stating that there
has always been four distinct aims:
The buildmg of hospitals and teaching
tlie people to be healthy; the estab
lishment of schools; the promotion of
agriculture; and the teaching of the
gospel of Jesus Christ.
I' ishing was described as one of the
most thriving industries of the coun
try, due to the fact that great schools
of fish abound in the waters off the
coast. Agriculture in the inland sec
tion is fast becoming an important in
dustry, it was stated.
Referring to the wild animals, Dr.
Grenfell stated that great herds of
reindeer abound in Labrador, and that
a hardy type of goat has been intro
duced for the purpose of furnishing
milk for the children, tho majority of
whom are undernourished.
Dr. Grenfell paid a high compli
ment to the work of the Moravian
missionaries in Labrador. He referred
to the great work done by the mission
stations of this church during the past
years.
An interesting description was
given of the work done in land hos
pitals and on hospital ships. One
picture showed the deck of a hospital
ship crowded with people seeking
medical aid and examinations.
A splendid work is being done in
the schools of the country, it was
stated. Pictures of school children
were shown to illustrate tiie respon
siveness of the younger generation in
the matter of an education.
The speaker stated that one of the
greatest obstacles that he had en
countered in his work was the saloon.
He referred to the wonderful accom
plishment of the United States in
abolishing the rum traffic and pre
dicted the spread of prohibition to all
parts of the world.
