Mgr Mary Ruth Elhot A LOOK AT THE NEWSPAPERS We hear a great deal of eriticism of newspapers today. The newsi)aper has helped bring about universal education (but there are some who disapprove of this). Many peoi>le who do not have a chance to do otlier reading, read a newspaper every day. Besides facts about the latest new.s, there are iquotations and references that bring the reader in contact with greater literature. I admit that there are grammati cal errors found in newspapers. Some (if these. I think, can be laid to the haste in which the newspapers are published, complying with our demands for the latest news. We should remember ,that eveirything between the covcrs of books is not perfectly correct. Of course,'a per son cannot became “cultured”, if he confines his reading to news papers, but I hardly think that they have a disastrous effect on his mind, as some j)eople would have u.s be lieve. If the public mind is affected so mucji by what it reads then per haps we should destroy some of our so-called “groat” books. Perhaps that is another criticism of news papers—the stories are not vrritten by people who have made a name for themselves, and thus can write anything without fear of criticism. Newspapers are great public serv ants. Would you critics be willing to do away with your newspaper! ROMANTIC RUN-’ROUNDS Extra! Extra, all about the en gagement of Miss Beverly (Tee) Little to a young, attractive lawyer in her home town. Well Tee, you will settle the problem for us, be cause we have been wondering w^ho would be the third bride this year— best luck and happiness. Be.ssie Lou Bray and Madeline Smith went down to the announce ment dinner Saturday night, and they say Tee was all thrilled and excited. .To Whitehead spent the week end at home and she says that the East ern part of the state (Rocky Mount) is getting springy too. Margaret Calder’s mother, sister Susan, and Aunt were here for the week-end. Jane Crow spent Sunday at home in lirocksville. Frances S*!?*-*!f-’s mother was here for Sunday. Frankie Medow.s got to Greens boro for Sunday, aren’t we glad? Now do you feel better Frankie? Bonnie Jean Shore went home for the week-end. Corinne Pate’s mother and sister spent Sunday with her. Off to Rocky Mount went Sutter for Saturday and iSunday. Did she see ?-“ !!*, you ask her. Jo Klutz spent Saturday and Sun- dav at home. The other three diome goers I have are Little Delle (Leaksville), Virginia Thompson (Statesville), and Mary Frances Hayworth (High J. Russell Smith said New Britain was so industrious that one could sleep On New Britain bed, put on clothes which had New Britain but- ton.s, drink coffee from a New Brit ain percolator, get your mail from a New Britain letter-box, slit the envelope with a New Britain pen knife, etc. When, applied to Win- ston-Salom, we might say: One sleeps under Chatham blankets and sheets, on a Chatham bed; gets up and puts on Hanes underwear and Hane’s hose; reaches for a Camel to get a lift, and that’s as far as we get. Dependence* Yes, that’s it. A certain Senior is still in doubt as to whether Jane really did crochet that shirt she is 'exhibiting. Wheu did she do it? That certain Senior will give a sundae to anyone who can exhibit proof (of course Jane you’re not included in this bet— only your skirt is). Sara Johnston could hardly wait to go to Davidson and knowing the reason wo don’t blame her either. Of course we know that Pat Pad- rick can draw but, why on earth, has she changed her model. Any reflec tion on what you intend to do this summer, Pat? FADS AND FASHIONS Shoes are coming in for lots of attention this spring. Blue seems to be the top color, with brown a close second. Without being garish or extreme the new footw'ear is ex tremely colorful—white and blue, and w'hite and brown combinations will go right through the summer. Beach and resort foot-wear goes in for color and prints in a big way. One linen, toeless shoes had flying fish embroidered on it. Plaids in bright colored one-straps or T-straps are likely to cause a sensation. Woven cord beach shoes, sandals of brightly colored canvas, burlap, braided raffia, or fishnet, with cork, wooden, or rope soles will make news on the sands. Most of the leathers, this spring, are smooth, but yon’11 like the fab- ric-and-leather blends and the tweed- finished leathers. The Oxford is top in popularity, but the T-strap was with it for day time acceptance. Many pumps are cut high; others suggest Oxfords with eyelet-ties over a gore. The March 1st issue of “Vogue” our supreme authority, stunned us with the surprising designs taken from Paris openings. Here are some: Draped Hindu evening dresses. Turkish skirt with elastic under- bloused hems. Wired evening hems swirling and undulating around the feet. Pre-war pleated skirts—some are THE TATTLER Visibility: Poor. • Audibility: None. Activity: Very little. Result: General depression on social activity, scanty column. SNOOPING ’MIDST SENIORS Despite Emma D’s. efforts to re mind Fanny Hill that undertakers get the highest annual income in New Jersey and that North Caro lina nets them the lowest returns “Buttercup’s” attention is diverted to Waynesville. EXCHANGE COLUMN Rollins college is believed to have the youngest trustee member in the U. S., T. W. Miller, Jr., 24 years, old, a member of 1933 class, and who is with a bank in Cleveland now', is the honored young man. BELLS!! Dot Moore says she went home to see the family—but we just laughed and laughed cause we knew that was only half of the excuse. Ask Fran ces Adams if it wasn’t! Three of the Seniors have sudden ly taken a keen interest in the re modeling of a certain house on Main Street—but due to a ‘ ‘certain under standing” their names will not ap pear in this column until a later date—and I bet they are glad, too! Now that Mary Woodruff has stolen Pat’s place in Buddy’s heart —Pat is getting ev'cn by spending much of her time at the Woodruff home and her second is Babbie Way. Betty Tuttle went home to Leaks ville, Grace Carpenter to States ville, Ann Taylor to Morganton and Cokey Preston ivith Margaret McLean to Lumberton, Julia Lee Little went home for her sister’s big event. The Seniors Class is proud to be kin to that young “Dia mond-Little” of the Sophomore. Florence McCanless is surely get ting “doctored” up with good din ners, etc., etc. Many of us would like to be in her place—but we doubt if she would let us — even for a day. WEDDINGS AND engagements In last Sunday’s paj>er. Dr. and Mrs. Harris announced the engage ment of their daughter Beverly Little to Mr. Tom Rose. The wed ding is to be in June. The marriage of Miss Virginia Gaddy of Durham and Mr. Howell Bagby of Winston-Salem w^as re cently announced. The couple are at home in Winston-Salem.

Nicknames do more harm than good. The American Ortopsychiatric Association watched the affect of nicknames on 2.3.5 boys and 75 girls. It found that over 95% of the nick names ]>roduced ill-feeling, resent ment and fighting. 39 per cent boy.s’ nicknames from perjonality defects. 32 per cent from physical defects. 7 per cent affection for individual. 32 per cent Girl’s nicknames were the result of affection instead of de fects. ^ A woman 73 years old who has been a student for the last 10 years at the University of Southern Cali fornia fell last month and broke her hip. She Tvept on her way to the ho.spital because she would have to stop studying at college now. 30 nationalities are represented in the University of Chicago (111.) dormitory which houses 100 foreign students. Zona Gale, famed authoress, will present a series of lectures at the University of Hawaii (Honolulu, T. H.), this semester. Great things are happening. You know how nature is. Bells! Bells! Our lives are adjust ed and fashioned to the clanging of the bells. The moments of our day are stripped and whittled down to fit the intricate pattern of bells. in the early morning we are jerked back to con.sciousness by the gasping shriek of the alarm. We snatch on the essentials of clothing, rake-thru our trailing tresses and with a lip stick poised in one hand, we dash to breakfa.'^t at the ringing of a bell. On gulping down the fifth mouthful of toast, the chapel bell announces compulsory attendance. Too bad about that butter and jam but there is the bell. Chapel over and there goes the first class bell. Oh, why don’t they hurry and move on—they must not realize I have a 9 o’clock class— just as the second bell is ringing— oh. I’m in—Present. Oh, dear a fire! There go the fire belLs—I wonder where— “All right, girls, let’s get busy or we won’t fini.sh this discus sion before the bell rings.” Um, I’m postively famished — M^onder if I’ll have time to run acro.ss the street and grab a sand wich between now and the bell. If that fellow on the bicycle doesn’t stop buzzing his bell and get out of my way—When'! last class—Mary, what time is it?—Ah, time for the bell. Um, I’m positively famished — makes you so sleepy. I’ll just flop for a minute and ten seconds—How heavenly es, .lane. I’m in here. What? the telephone? Yep, I heard it ringing. ISow that I’m up, I’ll run next door and type a letter to Jim Well I should have written more but that tingle at the end of every line is driving me nuts. —Why could n’t they pxit a whistle on a type writer instead of a bell? The afternoon gone and time for dinner I must slip into another dress before the bell—there it goes! Well I must get to work—of all the English—and it must be rather late for I just heard the prayer meeting bell. How could anyone absorb all of this junk in one night—I’m disgust ed. And that’s the 10:30 bell. Come in! Oh hello kid— sure I’d love to hear that orchestra on your radio— yep. I’m coming.—Oh, how dy everybody—Gee, Jane, I’m glad you have this radio—yea nothing .so soothing to a tortured brain as music What did he say the next song was? — What? “I Wanta Ring Bells!” N. C.
