And Original Toasts Add
to Occasion
After a series of hard fought co
tests among the four classes, lasting
over a period of two weeks, the 1931
hockey season was brought to a close
on Saturday, November 31. Within
those fourteen days eight games
played, all of them resulting in either
tied scores or narrow victories. The
Seniors and the Sophomores elimi
nated the other two classes and played
the championship game.
On Saturday afternoon a crowd of
interested spectators sat in the tem
porary stadium to watch the con
solation and the championship games.
The whistle blew for the bully at
two forty-five, with Walker (Jun
ior) and Preston (Freshman) at cen
ter. According to Coach Atkinson,
the fast playing of these iwo teams
made this one of the best of the inter
class games. The score w'as a zero
The beginning of the championship
game found the colorful red jerseys
of the Seniors lined in opposition to
the bright purple of the Sophomores,
with A. Preston and Holleman at
center. There was good hockey play
ed by both teams, especially by the
backfields, who held the score 2-1, in
favor of the Seniors.

When the time came for an after
dinner speech, Dr. Rondthaler made
a clever talk, and presented the trophy

were class songs and Salem songs, and,
last of all, the Alma Mater, which
was sung with right lusty voices by the
students.
Dr. Rondthaler Reads
Comments On Smoking
Greater Number of Editorials
And Letters Are Favor
able to Privilege
At Wednesday expanded Chapel,
November 18, Dr. Rondthaler read to
the student body a number of edi
torials and letters concerning the
new privilege of smoking. The talk
was not Dr. Rondthaler’s opinion on
the subject, but merely an insight
into the problem which faced the
trustees of Salem during past months.
Dr. Rondthaler stated before
reading any examples that as he
wished to be fair to both sides of the
question, he would read letters of
both approval and disapproval,
urged the students to deliberate both
sides, and to make their own indi
vidual decisions only after careful
thought.
He commenced by reading the
olution of the board concerning
smoking, which stressed the fact
that the board wished to discouragt
loking as well as deceitfulness by
bringing the matter out in the open
where it would be dealt with accord-
igly-
Although some of the letters read
ere expressions of disapproval, the
majority of them were in favor of
the forward step. Most of these, al
though disapproving of the actual
habit of smoking, heartily endorsed
the idea of bringing the matter
the open and providing a special
place. Most also gave their permis
sion for their daughters to smoke.
Those who expressed their disapprov
al gave as their chief objections: in
jury to health, youth of girls, forma
tion of habit, and the contradiction of
morals of the home.
The majority of the newspaper
editorials also were in favor of look
ing the issue in the face. However,
the writers believed that personal
honor and co-operation were neces-

Salem Anchor Day on Thurs

Hurrying footsteps, wondering

plexed frowns, jovial smiles and
laughter on all sides, and business-like
airs—signs of Anchor Day. On De
cember 3 this store was under the
management of Salem College with
students as superintendents and clerks
throughout the day.
The spirit of this occasion wa

another substantial addition to May

while in one of the show windows

was manifested by a scene centered
around an old fashioned fireplace.
Within the store were displayed
large varieties of Christmas goods
much of which bore prices made es
pecially low for this one day. Their
value was appreciated by an enthus
iastic buying public who came in
spite of steady rain and cold in the
afternoon to shop for everyday ne
cessities and the Christmas Season.

Mr. Roy Palmer Gives Splen
did Demonstrated Talk
At the expanded chapel before
Thanksgiving, Mr. Roy Palmer, of
the Southern Public Utilities Co.
of Charlotte, gave a demonstrated
lecture on “The Future of Light.”
Palmer succeeded in gaining ev-
ane’s interest and in holding it
ighout the unusual, attractive
demonstration.
He stated that it is rather hard for
the people of today to realize that
electric lights have been in use only
of recent years. It was in 1879 that
Edison invented the incandescent
light. It is evident how much the
electric light has developed since
that time, and undoubtedly it will
continue to develop in the coming
Palmer asserted that man’s
work is made easier and more effi-
because of good lighting. By
showing letters on a cylinder, first
without good light, and then with it,
he ably proved_this fact.
He further stated that though
by nature an out-of-door person,
under the present conditions of living
man stays indoors most of the time.
The sun gives out ultra-violet rays,
there are electric lights which
give out ultra-violet rays. These
lights, the sunshine for indoors, will

Although the cast was formed from

exceptionally able in managing their
roles. Edmund Forde as Monsieur

who sought the most eligible of the

among the remainder of the cast was
Alice Keating Cheney who played
the role of “Marquise Dorimene.’

remain unseen. Mr. Palmer’s teeth
and eyeballs shone clearly under the
light. Certain beads and flowers
shone out brightly under the light,
though sometimes their color was dif
ferent from the one seen under ordi
nary light.
According to Mr. Palmer, lights
are used not only for efficiency and
health, but also for decorative pur
poses. The future will surely bring
forth many developments in the deco
rative use of light. A few outstand
ing hotels are already using lights for
interior decoration. A wall may

France is Heading Toward
Rapid Decline
Wednesday, November 4, at the
expanded Chapel period. Dr. Francis
Anscombe, Head of the History Ds*
partment, spoke authoritatively con
cerning the economic situation of
France in comparison with the status
of other countries since the World
War.
Within the last decade France has
risen to enviable heights. England,
once the center of world trade, and
Germany, formerly unbelievably pro
in science, education and
acquisition of colonies, have fallen in
the background ; today France rates
second only to the United States
among the great countries of the
world.
There are many evident causes for
such prosperity. Most of the fighting
was done in France; thus, as a result,
the country was devastated and the
whole industrial system was para
lyzed. One million men were killed
while one half of the adult males
were injured. France has a land
owning system that is much more
advantageous than that of England.
As an outcome of the French revo
lution the lands were seized by the
peasants; and so, today, instead of
large estates as in England, the
French soil is distributed among and
owned by individuals who, although
they are not rich, make a living and
by their thriftiness manage to keep
something hidden away. England
has a very unevenly scattered popula
tion due to the large country estates
and the numerous densely populated
cities. From such a situation it is
readily seen that unemployment is
a more serious problem in England.
The birth rate and population of
France is lower than that of Germany
or England. From 1700 to 1921,
England’s population increased from
six million to thirty-seven million
while that of France increased from
nineteen million to thirty-nine mil
lion. Today France has 40,000,000
people, while Germany has 60,000,-
000. The French people realize that
the birthrate is declining. Many peo
ple say that France has had her day.
The explanation of the decreasing
population is that the French, a
proverbially thrifty people, refuse to
have large families unless they are
able to support them; they practice
birth control openly and . without
shame.
How has France been able to re
cover? In the first place the govern
ment receives 52 per cent of all the

Christmas Selections From
Various Countries Were
Ably Played
Sunday evening Vespers consisted
of an organ recital by Dean Vardell
which was given in Memorial Hall.
Among his selections were Conso

An Old French Christ?nas Carol by
Alexander Dumas, a variation of
Hark, the Flerald Angels Sing, and
a selection from a Pastorale by Bach. ■
His interesting and enjoyable pro
gram was interrupted before its com
pletion, much to everyone’s regret, by
the chimes in the Salem Church.
