Friday, September 27, 1935. THE SALEMITE Page Three. IP € E ir 1C y AUTUMN SONG Oneo more the crimson rumor Fills the forest and the town; And the green fires of summer Are burning — burning down. O the green fires of summer Are burning down onee more; And my heart is In the ashes On the forest floor. —William Griffith. AUTUMN CHANT Now the autumn shudders In the rose’s root, Far and wide the ladders Lean among the fruit. Now the autumn clambers Up the trellised frame And the rose remembers The dust from which it came. Brighter than the blossom On the rose’s bough Sits the wizened orange Bitter berry now. DEFIANCE I know that he will come again one day “When kine graze slowly in the heat And sickness lie beside the wheat Silver and burning in the sun’s last ray.” Silent of heart, cruel of tongue, who say: “He comes not,” pity me and sigh. When Summer yet is in the sky And leaves are fresh and moist as brookside clay. What if a frail leaf has blown awayf The wind is rough this year, and see How blue the sky above that What if a thin burnt leaf has tree, fallen today? —Frances Friseke. Beauty never slumbers; All is in her name But the rose remembers The dust from which it came. —Edna St. Vincent Millay.

(CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) grant if she would lend her aid. That promise was not kept, and the few Italian colonies of today consist largely of desert countries situated in Africa. ETHIOPIAN SITUATION Because of its geographical loca tion, Ethiopia is an especially de sirous country for any nation plan ning to colonize. Its size is three times that of Italy, and in the west ern part of Ethiopia may be found table lands, suitable for the raising of cotton, tobacco, sugar and other profitable crops. There are also vast resources of minerals to be found, some of which liave only been recent ly discovered. Ethiopia is known as a great hunting country, and the ex port of hides and furs is an import ant trade. In regard to the kinds of people wlio inhabitate Ethiopia, Dr. An scombe said that although the weal thy, ruling class of Ethiopia are of Semetie origin and probably closely akin to the Hebrew race, the major ity of Ethiopians are of African origin, and are illiterate and bar baric. The religion of the country is professed to be Christianity. SITUATION OF GBEAT BRITAIN Dr. Anscombe explained that Great Britain’s interest in the Itlal- ian-Ethiopian situation is because of certain possessions she has near Ethiopia, probably the most impor tant being Tana Lake, which is one of the main tributaries of the Nile. Great Britain knows that Italy could sieze Tana Lake, and by blasting and setting up an irrigation system, Italy could make the Tana provide water for Ethiopia. Great Britain knows that the 150,000 soldiers now stationed in Libya are not needed in order to subdue little Ethiopia. She fears that Italy may attack Egypt. As a member of the League of Nations, Great Britain is willing to abide by the decision of that group. Ethiopia, also a League member, is willing to abide by that decision, but Italy has, thus far, declined the con cession offered her, and has contin ued to prepare for war. “France’s fear of Germany makes her concerned about the Italian- Etliiopian crisis,” said Dr. Anscom be. “If Italy is defeated in the event of war, Germany will likely approach Italy. ’ ’ SARAH THOMPSON CHOSEN QUEEN OF FOREST FESTIVAL Salem College Girl Honored At Elkins, West Virginia Elkins, W. Va., September 1 — A charming young woman from the southern-most city of West Virginia will rule over the sixth annual Moun tain State Forest Festival at Elkins, West Virginia, on October 3, 4, and 5 She is Miss Sarah Katheryn Thompson, of Bluofield, who has been appointed to the role of Queen Silvia VI, by A.

From the time of her coronation she will be the principal figure in a continuous progranj of pageantry and social functions which will include the Jueen’a Ball held in her honor. SEPTEMBER By Helen Welchimer When Summer plucks her roaes and picks the daffodiUs And starts another pigrimage across the fading hills; When the things that made us love her have been gathered in her pack, She pauses at an outpost for a final looking-back. She is jealous of September and her shining treasure heap. For she knows it is her handiwork the autumn month will reap. September, when all nature takes a gladsome holiday. And revels for a moment in the best of her array. When trees put on their crimson gowns or deck themselves with gold, As though they would forget awhile that they are growing old. When bird songs echo through the air, tuned sweeter for they know The Southern rice fields waith them and the time has come to go. September, with lier bonfires and her gorgeous autumn moons. With golden-rod and gentians and her warmth-compelling noons; With lazy brooks that loiter through a dreaming, sparkling land, Where painted leaves are drifting like a mystic, fairy band. The purple of her vineyards, the per fumed scented breeze. The tang of salt winds blowing, and the blueness of the seas. September, when the harvest’s past and nature stops to play, To hold a merry carnival and make a holiday. September, when the corn is shocked and autumn moons hang low, And winding lanes are calling you to take your pack and go. The joy of work completed and the aftermath it yields, The time of scarlet berries, golden flowers, and yellow fields. The joyous time of plenty when the rested world is gay. Forgetting down the distant trail that winter’s on the way September, when the katydids and crickets start to call, The wi.stful, lonesome, haunting notes that only come in fall. The honk of wild geese sailing high, ([uick pas.sage of the days, And all around the sky-line hangs a veil of purple haze. When the dusk is made of velvet and the lights of homes are bright, And flaming stars are precious jewels cauglit in the hair of night. Wlion wo come to our September down the pathway of the years, When we’ve finished with out laugh ter and have packed away our tears, When the visions of our spring-time and the long, long summer dream, Are dying with the autumn, shall wo catch September’s gleamt When Summer’s plucked our roses shall the crimson and the gold Crown the ending of the harvest when the time comes to grow oldt -\nd will our hearts bo happy at the ending of the wayt As joyful in the present, as within the yesterday f O may we gaily smile the whilo wo take the autumn path, wait tho aftermath.
