LET US
GIVE THANES
What have we to be thankful for? To some it may seem
a strained time to be giving thanks with the European con
flict and the possibility of the world becoming involved. The
future holds nothing, some may say.
For the present — and, if we are sufficiently self-dis
ciplined, for the future—thei'e are many solid and worth-while
things for which we can give heart-felt thanks.
For the manifold freedoms we enjoy, of person and travel
and speech and worship and assembly, and against violence and
seizure we can give thanks. We realize with gratitude that our
press is free. We are still a nation free of control or enfran
chisement. We are still free to think. For freedom from chaos
and confusion abroad, for our peace, we qan be grateful.
For all these things, let us give thanks.
—M. L. R.
TWO SINOEEE
APPEALS
Do you realize how fortunate we are, Salemites, in hav
ing our Library? The Freshmen and Sophomores can’t appre
ciate the “new” Library as can the juniors and seniors, who
knew the old one (now the Old Chapel), but I know we all
realize that we do have an exceptional Library.
Then why do we abuse this privilege by our noisy con
duct in the Library? Although noise is usually a minor point,
it serves the purpose in this case of making concentration im
possible. Let’s consider some of the most popular of these
irritants. Christmas is not quite here, but jingle bells are. Some
girls come prowling into the Library jangling bracelets and
necklaces which are very much in vogue, but not very pleasing
to a studyer’s ear. Another annoyance was disclosed in an
editorial in last week’s Salemite — that of the person who
interrupts a brainstorm with “How mwh have you read?” or
“When will you be thro.ugh with that book?” It would be
much easier for everyone concerned, if, when you find that
someone is using a reserve book you need, you would reserve
it at the desk for a certain time. And another thing — shoes!
Isn’t it irritating to hear a series of squeaks or staccato heels
echo down the length of the reading room? Then there are
the people who hold “Old Home Week” in the stacks and the
Browsing room. We're supposed to be more lax in the Brows
ing room, but too loud voices carry through the building, be
sides disturbing people who are reading in those special places.

Les enfants sont dans leurs llts,
Ses yeux sont bien fermfis;

Et ils voient p^re No51 au moi de

Quittons maintenant los enfants,
Ha sont trop contents.
Le soleil brille dans I’est,
Et de travaillcr c’est le temps.

Mrs. Rondthaler spoke to us last
Thursday night in Evening Watch.
It was a very interesting talk and
held our interest every single min
ute.
Next Sunday night at Vespers we
will have a Thanksgiving program
with one of the students in charge.
Becky Nifong will sing. You had
better come, girls, and get a little
of that Thanksgiving spirit. It
won’t be long now.
Be on the watch for important
news in this column from now on.
Each chairman of committees of the
“Y” will try to explain the pur
pose and aim of her committee dur
ing the following week. For those
of you who wish to know more about
the function of the “Y” this will
be very beneficial.
There will be a series of round-ta-
ble di.scussions for the freshmen
“ Y” Commission and all those who
vTOuld like to come beginning next
Tuesday evening from 6:45 to 7:30.
•These discussions will .be led by Mrs.
Holt Haywood of Winston-Salem.

when the second section of the Scot-

the first at Bletchley Station, 45
miles north of here, in “blackout”

Rescuers worked in the rain,
smoke and steam, aided only by dim
blue lights, until authorities lifted
the blackout restrictions in the vic-

P. D. B. MAY GET NOBEL PBIZE
Oslo. — Usually reliable sources
-,ay a movement is on foot to award
the Nobel Peace Prize to President
Roosevelt.
While some uncertainty exists
whether the prize will be awarded
this year, informed quarters say that
Mr. Roosevelt is the only candidate
at present under consideration.
Members of the Nobel Committee
decline comment.
There’s also that little item of chewing gum. Name three things
more maddening than the sound of someone popping gum! Need.
We say moret
If such noises continue, a solution would be to have a
Library staflf member on duty in the Reading room, but doesn’t
that seem rather juvenile for college students! And a request
from the staff: will you leave all raincoats and umbrellas in the
closet at the right of the main entrance to keep from damaging
the chairs and tables and upholstered, furniture f Please.
All that really is needed is a little thoughtfulness to
make the Library a more comfortable place to ooncentrate and
study.

GRID SQUIBS FROM
HERE AND YON
Lawton, Okla.—“Undies,” as foot
ball uniforms, are the real thing, es
pecially in the rain, Coach Jess
Thompson, of the Cameron College
football team reported.
Rain had been falling for four
days, the field was soaked and the
mud deep when Thompson and higi
team arrived in Wilburton, Okla., for
their game with Eastern Oklahoma,
“I didn’t want to get the boys’
clean uniforms all dirty,” Thomp-
son related, “so when they had on
their shoulder pads, long under
wear and shoes, I just told them to
trot on out without the suits.”
The half-clad boys won 2V0. Tlio
“undies” stuck close to the skin and
the boys were nerer weighted
down, Thompson said.
