SPRING ELECTIONS WINSTON-SALEM, N. C, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1931. Helen Fowler Gives Graduating Recital Brilliant Recital Given by Miss Fowler, Assisted by George Dickieson, Violinist The second in a series of graduat ing recitals to be presented by the School of Music of Salem College took place Monday night in Memor ial Hall with Miss Helen Elizabeth Fowler, pianist. Miss J'owler is the daughter of Mrs. J. M. Fowler, of this city. While a student at Salem College she has been a pupil of Miss Laurie Jones and Dean Charles G. Vardell Jr. Her program included numbers which ranged from the classics to the more modern school, and showed a careful study of the various types of composition. The Brahms “Rhapsody in G Min or,” with which the program opened, was given a virile interpretation of its breadth of style and a musieianly feeling for its contrasting moods. In Chopin’s “Berceuse,” perhaps the finest cradle song ever written for piano, there was an almost ethereal delicacy of tone and nuance. The well-known and difficult “Valse Bril- lante,” which followed, revealed a marked sense of rhythm' and poetic insight combined with the technical demands of this composition. Miss Fowler was assisted by George Dickieson, violinist, also of Winston-Salem, who is a student of Miss Hazel Horton Read of the school of music. His first group gave evidence of a command of tone and style. Of his second group the plaintive melody of “The Romance, by Weineawski, was especially lovely for its warmth and depth of tone while the “Humoresque,” by Tchaik- owsky-Kreisler, was played with fine spirit. Miss Ruth Marsden accom panied at the piano, giving sympa thetic support throughout.

Convention Additional Feature There were two very interesting features in Y. P. M, on Wednesday morning. Miss Dorothy Knox, of the faculty of Salem Academy, made a report on the convention of the American Association of Uni vers Women which recently convened Boston, and at which she was a dele gate from Salem College. She that the idea is prevalent within the Association that college gradjiates have a definite duty to society. The Association has a two-fold purpose: to stress education, and to create in ternational goodwill; it is striv ing to attain these two aims. In closing. Miss Knox declared that Salem should be very proud of the great honor which has recently been bestowed on her, of becoming a her of the A. A. U. W. The second feature of the morning IS a splendid debate given by the debating teams of Richard J. Rey nolds High School, who are entering debating contest at Chapel Hill. The subject of debate was: ‘Resolved that the United States should grant immediate independ- to the Philippines with the idea implete independence at the end of ten years, that is, in 1940.” The first speaker on the affirm ative was Helen Davis, who argued that the Philippine Islands have been promised independence ir past and that the United States throw away the ideals and principals of her forefathers and assume iperialistic policy 'which is c trary to her theory of government. Since the Philippines have already established a stable government, the solemn duty and obligation of the United States to grant them mediate independence. Brooks Bynum Jr., the first speak- of the negative, declared that the United States promised independent government to the Phiillippines when a stable government had been estab lished but that, thus far, the latter has not been done. At present, the population consists of a heterogene- group, made up of many tribes and dialects, who could not possibly fulfill international obligations. As yet, the Phillippines are incapable of electing and supporting a stable gov ernment. L. C. Bruce Jr., the next speaker >n the affirmative, showed that each .^ear the United States unnecessarily ipends much money in the Phillip pines. These Islands have made much progress under the guidance of the United States, but they could prosper now without her control. She is bordering on an imperialistic policy in refusing to grant them in dependence. Slade Hardee, the last speaker on the negative, declared that people ’t live on idealism—that govern ment is a practical business-like (Continued on Page Three) Pierrette Plays to Be Presented Tonight Performance Sponsored by McDowell Club Breathes Breath of Spring The feeling of fresh beauty and loveliness which spring has made Salem feel in so many suprising lit tle ways has achieved expression last.

Review of Senior Play Is Given One Breathless Night to be Presented by Seniors Next Saturday It has been with great difficulty that a review of the coming Senior play has been secured for this paper. The foresaid class has been unem- barassedly reluctant to have anything go to press which would give away their secrets—rather they prefer to spring them on their audience all in le breathless night. However, after much persistance I the part of reporters, one of the distinguished directors of the play (Continued on Page Three) Salem Accepted As Member A.A.U.W.

W. C. A. of North Carolina, the speaker at the meeting of the Students Industrial Commission held at Salem College on Thursday rening, April 10. Having been in- ■oduced by Miss Beulah Parrish, nc of the Winston-Salem industrial leaders, she began her talk “Women in North Carolina Legislature” by reading an excerpt of a letter from Mrs. Robert Spear, chairman of na tional Board of Directors of Y. W. C. A. In showing prevailing con ditions and their remedies, Mrs. Spear pointed out that modern prog- does not provide the proper measure of security necessary for a firm basis of civilization; that it lacks social responsibility, practical wis dom and spiritual power. She fur ther stated that the life of the world, countrj^ and community needs to be 'ifted to new levels which can come only by communion with God and of the powers and resources He has given us. Tlie letter contained also a com parison of individual responsibility improving prevalent conditions with the water supply of New York City. Today the reservoir Miere reads eleven inches of water, but en gineers are helpless.Relief can come only through tiny raindrops sent by God. The moral life of the coun try is like the New York water sup ply, dirty and low where it once was pure. Everyone has a definite re sponsibility and should be a rain drop in the large system. People think and learn to pray with others, for prayer is the most diffi cult of sciences and the highest of Leading toward Christ, the per fect answer to world problems, are the Y. W. C. A. activities which are channels of water going into the Another office held by Miss Cox is State Chairman on the Committee of Public Affairs. While serving in this position, she comes in direct contact with international, national itate legislation. In order to pre conditions in the world today, the speaker exposed three great of mankind, an attempt at the downfall of which is the duty of all Christians. The first is war, well illustrated by the World War, the effects of wliich are still felt all over the world, and which east the lives of forty million people and the value of property worth one hundred and eighty-six billion dollars. The ner- physical wrecks at Oteen are examples of the horrors of war. Miss Cox recommended the motion picture “All Quiet on the Western Front” to show the actual war terrors. The second enemy of good will is race prejudice. Economies exploitation or industrial injustice is the last out standing enemy, which is due to the ipitalistie system. Miss Cox discussed the task of disarmament, and the World Court. The passing of two bills which keep the unemployment situation shows advance in human welfare measures, according to the speaker. The women of the State have done much toward humanizing the welfare measure. They have had a measure of success in the passing of two bills, ne providing for the fifty-five hour 'eek for women except those em ployed in restaurants and the other prohibiting night work of girls un der eighteen. Another improvement which the speaker discussed was the plan to build a new penitentiary in place of the existing fire-trap and to put convicts under State Control. By encouraging small counties to go to gether to build a district jail, the legislature has further shown its pro gressive attitude in the penal system. North Carolina is slowly making progress.
