The subject of Rev. Spaugh’s ser

his text was from Hebrews 12:27:
“Whose voice then shook the earth:

social poise. Social poise is not
merely on the surface; it must go
deeper to be of any value. In con

Our library has now attained that
peculiar distinction which an “Open
All Night ’ ’ sign gives to a. store or a
restaurant. “Open All Night”
seems to imply, “We are ready to
give service at any time; we don’t
close when business is bad, but we
aro on the alert to help you at any
unearthly hour.” Up until this sum-
her the library has closed in June
each year until school opened again
in the fall — but beginning with
this year tlie library is to be ready
to give service to the community all
the year round. This is quite a step
forward.
This summer the library was open
every morning from 9:00 to 1:00.
It was used by students, faculty, and
Winston-Salem people. Between one
hundred and one hundred and fifty
people registered, and nearly a thous
and books were circulated.
It is interesting to note that cir
culation was not limited to “popular
reading” — fiction and biography.
Books on philosophy, religion,
sociology, useful arts, the fine arts,
science and history were not neglect
ed, and some people even found gov
ernment documents interesting.
Although annotfncements were
made in school and in the local i>a-
pers, at the end of the summer many
people said they would have liked
to use the library if they had known
that it was open. From now on it
will be open all year round, and local
people, not connected with Salem,
aro welcome to use it at any time.

Head of the History I>epart-
ment Gives Interesting
Talk on Italian-Ethi-
opian Situation
In an address on “The ItaJian-
Ethiopian Situation” at expanded
chapel at Salem College, Wednesday
morning, Dr. Francis Anscombe,
head of the history department at
Salem College, declared that the im
pending crisis between Italy and
Ethiopia would be “ a life and death
sturggle for Great Britain, a life and
death struggle for Italy, and simply
!\ death struggle for Ethiopia.”
THE ITAUAN SITXJATION
As a background for his discus
sion, Dr. Anscombe related salient
facts concerning the rise and fall of
the ancient Roman empire, and also
explained the rise of modern Italy
from what Xletternich called “a
mere geographical expression” into
a first rate world power.
In order to retain her position
as a world power,” said Dr. An-
sconibe, “Italy must have more ter
ritory. Italy must now import most
of her food and her export trade has
been greatly lessened by the high
tariff barriers of the United States.
Italy has no mineral resources, con
sequently, she is forced to imi>ort
those things which are usually found
within a country. Italy’s huge popu
lation needs more room, so Italy
must have more territory, or else
sink to the place of a third or fourth
rate power.”
The speaker stated that Italy’s en
trance into the World War was the
result of n promise made by other
ations that Italy might be granted
compensation in the way of a land

Miss Katherine Davis comes to
Salem for the first time this year to
be instructor in art. A graduate of
Meredith College in the class of ’34,
she studied last year at the National
Acodemy of Fine Arts and Design,
in New York City. After returning
homo la.st June, she is now a member
of the faculty of Salem College.
For the past week there has been
an exhibit of Miss Davis’ work in
tho recreation room of Louisa Wilson
Bitting Building. There are in the
exhibit examples of still life in both
charcoal and oil as well as portraits
painted of various members of her
family. There is a jwrtrait of her
father, painted in 1932 and one of
her grandfather, completed last year.
At the present Miss Davis states
that she wishes to develop and en
large tho art department at Salem.
There are now eight or moro stu
dents taking the course under Miss
Davis, who states that it may bo be
gun anytime during the fall. The
course consists of instruction in
charcoal drawing and oil painting
of stilJ life. Miss Davis also hopes
to have one life class a week with
living models. Her studio is on the
third floor of the day student build
ing, and may bo reached by tho
stairs in Main Hall. Visitors are
welcome at any time to examine the
work being carried on there.
