ADVCRTISINO BY National Advertising Service, Inc. Collett PubUsbers KePr*ttnUUive 420 MADI80N AVK. NewYork, N. Y. CNICACO ‘ BOSTON * L0« ANOILIf - SAN FRANCISCO STOP, PLEASE! After hearing Dr. Rondthaler’s comment Tuesday morn ing in Chapel on the obserbation of traffic rules, I think we should all realize how very negligent and dangerous our dis regard of regulations in the past has been. Since the police dpartment in Win.ston-Saleni has been kind enough to work out laws for our benefit, we should show them that we appreciate their thoughtfulness, and that we are capable of proving our selves worthy of their laws. The crossing from Salem square to the drug store and the post office is a dangerous intersection — coming down the hill, cars obeying traffic signals don’t ex pect to see girls heedlessly crossing the street when the stop light is green. So it isn’t the driver’s fault when some un fortunate accident happens. After all, most of us girls should be old enough by the time we are in college to know, right from wrong. And we should be good enough citizens to co-operate with the town authorities in their efforts to make Winston-Salem a safer place in which to live. So let’s all try to wait for that light to change next time, it will take but a few seconds — and that letter can wait if ,! r i —K. K. you can! WELL, DO YOU? 'Don’t you hate people who talk during a movie? Es pecially at the moment Errol Flynn is crushing “you,” to his breast and murmuring, “My own —” “For crap’s sake, why don’t they invent a new tech nique? The same thing’s in every movie! Oh, l)y the way, did I tell you aibout the evening dress mother sent me? Well, it’s .... ” From the seat in front of you comes this loud-' pedaled whisper to bring cruel reality crashing around your head. ' pon’t yo\i feel like gagging that intruder — to put it mildly ? Do you ever talk in the movies t Of course not! ... But, don’t you! —E. P. HEITHE& THE TIME NOR THE PLAGE And as for the inattention in chapel — it would seem that Salem students purposely set aside chapel time to do any last minute copying of school work, and letter writing, to say Librarian Announces Books By Padraic Colum In Our Library Because of the. la-st minute rush to get Bertita Harding’s books be fore she came, the librarians are an nouncing in advance the books which our library has that were written by Padraic (Paidriz), Colum who is the second of the lecturers to ap pear on the College Lecture Series. Mr. Colum is a famous Irish poet, antiquarian, and publicist, who lias won for himself a high place in English letters. Mr. Colum will ap pear at Salem, November 17. “The Road Round Ireland” is a book on the Ireland of farmers, poets, artists, and vagabonds, writ ten as a travel narrative with all the feeling and inimitable art of this Irish poet, fact, legend, and some criticism are mingled in this de lightful and understanding inter pretation of contemporary Irish life. The illustrations are from distinguished paintings and etch ings. “Three Plays” contains, as the name implies, three plays written for the National Theatre Society, each and expression of Irish National characteristics. Two of them deal with the land problem. The plays are: “The Fiddler’s House,” “The Land,” and “Thomas Muskerry.” “Orpheus: Myths of the World” .shows the combined force of Mr. Colum’s powers as scholar, poet, and story-teller. The illustration and gen eral form are in keeping with the distinction of the book. Padraic Colum has written several books of poetry. “The Story of Lowery Maen” is a long, narrative poem dealing with the old Irish he roes in the period when Ireland was turning-from the Bronze age to the Iron age, about 300 B. C. “Wild Eartli and Other Poems” contains the quaint and blithely sung songs and ballads of the Irish peas antry. Throughout the book one feels the sincerity of the author. “Poems” is a group of poems se lected from “Dramatic Legend.s,” “W'ild Earth,” “Creatures,” and “Old Pastures.” Padraic Colum is also firmly estab lished as one of the best writers for children of our times. His chil dren’s books in our library are: “The Boy Who Knew What the Birds Saidf” “The Peep-Show Man;” “The Arabian Nights: tales of wonder and magnificence, selected and edited by Padraic Colum;” and “The Adventures of Odysseus and the Talc of Troy.” Our speaker for Vespers Sunday night will be Mr. Hutton, the new pastor from the Reynolda Presby terian Church. Let’s all come and help welcome Mr. Hutton to Win ston and to Salem College! The ser vice will be at 6:30 in the old chapel. AT CANDO/H LITTLE BROTHER’S SECRET When my birthday was coming Little Brother had a secret: He kept it for days and days And just hummed a little tune when 1 asked him. But one night it rained And I woke up and heard him crying: Then he told me. ‘I planted two lumps of sugar in your garden Because you love it so frightfully. I thought there would be a whole sugar tree for your birthday, And now it will all be melted.” 0 the darling! —From “Poems” by Katherine Mansfield. MIDNIGHT OIL Cut if you will, with Sleep’s dull knife, Each day to half its length, my friend, — The years that Time takes off my life, He’ll take from off the other end! —Edna St. Vincent Millay From '^‘A Few Figs From' Thistles” AUTUMN DAYBREAK Cold wind of autumn, blowing loud At dawn, a fortnight overdue, Jostling the doors, and tearing through My bedroom to rejoin the cloud. I know — for I can hear the hiss And scrape of leaves along the floor — How many boughs, lashed bare by this, Will rake the cluttered sky once more. I Tardy, and somewhat south of east, The sun will rise at length, made known More by meagre light increased Than by a disk in splendour shown; When, having but to turn my head. Through the stripped maple I shall see. Bleak and rememberd, patched with red, The hill all summer hid from me. —Edna St. Vincent Millay Prom “Wine From These Grapes” Music News The Mozart opera “Bastion et Bastienne ’ ’ which was given by stu dents of the Salem music depart ment at the Asheville Mozart festi val last August and was repeated at Salem in September, will be present ed again at Davidson College, Octo ber 31. This performance will be accompanied by the Davidson sym phony orchestra, directed by James Christian Pfohl. The characters are played by Kathryn Swain, Harriette Taylor, and Ted Bodenheimer. Two interesting symphony pro grams will be broadcast this week end. The first is the N. B. C. Sym phony concert Saturday evening nothing of covering sheets in plain ole notes, not on the lecture, but items of “personal interest” addressed to one’s neighbor. It must be awfully disconcerting to the speaker to look down from the platform, a fine vantage-piont incidentally, and see a good percentage of his supposedly attentive audience busy with pen and paper. It is hard enough under the best circumstances for the average speaker to do his best before an auditorium full of restless college girls, but without the security found in the knowledge that the girls are interested enough, or at least polite enough to pay attention, it is impossible. He or she feels that his, as well as his audience’s time, has been wasted, and needless to say leaves the platform and the college with a definitely un favorable impression. Since the speakers and lecturers are kind enough to give us their time, since they are the guests of the college, and’since chapel is planned solely for our benefit, let’s not hurt ourselves, as well as the reputation of Salem by being inattentive. Leave your writing mateHals outside, and give chapel a chance. —L. a. from 10-11:30 P. M., under the di rection of Arturo Toscanini. The program is as follows: Cenerentola Overture Bossini Don Quixote Strauss Fifth Symphony Beethoven The other is the New York Phil harmonic Symphony directed by John Barbirolli which will play the following numbers Sunday afternoon, October 23, over the WABC network at three o’clock. Overture to “Der Freischitz” Weber The Swan of Tuanela Sibelius The Return of Lemminkainin Sibelius Fire Bird Suite — Stravinsky Adagio ank Fugue for Strings Mozart Fifth Symphony Beethoven HERE AND THERE Imagine the chagrin of a certain sophomore psychology class who pa tiently waied fifteen minutes for Mr. McEwen to appear in class. And when he didn’t come, they gathered up their books gleefully and left — only to be told later by various up perclassmen that they were supposed to wait twenty minutes for the head of a department. So they trekked back to Room 17 and found — Mr. McEwen patiently waiting for them! ' 1 Upon interviewing freshmen upon courses which they would like to have, but which are not offered at Salem at present, it was found that many asked for a course which would train them in the art of aleeping on class with their eyes open,
