He was defeated by Representative George Smathers. Representative Smathers put an end to Pepper’s fourteen years as Flo rida Senator. Republican spokesmen have stated that they feel that this election shows a new trend in politics. Smathers is opposed to several of President Truman’s domestic poli cies, and Pepper was a strong New Dealer. Some feel that this elec tion is an open rebuke to the Pre sident. However, Democratic of ficials denied this trend. Senator Howard Taft stated that Smathers’ election showed support for the Taft-Hartley Labor Act. Smathers supported the Act, and Pepper opposed it. Pension Rates This week the Senate Finance Committee approved a raise for re tired workers. Those now drawing an average of $26 will get $49 a month. This new proposal is due to go before Congress in the near future. The Senate committee, which has been studying for weeks proposed changes in the social security laws, have decided upon larger increases in benefits than have been approved by the House. The House bill called for a 1(X) per cent increase in present benefits over the next ten years. It Is expected that total benefits for the next decade will be about 110 per cent higher than now. Refugees in China Several hundred refugees, includ ing 196 Americans, arrived in Hong Kong last Tuesday night. Among these refugees was General W. H. Gordon.

Seniors Plan to Marry,Teach Or Study After Graduation By Lola Dawson The Freshmen hope to be Sopho mores next year, the Sophomores hope to be Juniors, the Juniors hope to be Seniors—Where does that leave the Seniors of 1950 ? It looks as if our class of ’50 will be doing one of five things. Some are planning to teach school, some plan to marry, some are going to Europe, others are planning to take post graduate course and still others are going to work for their fathers, Lyn Marshall head of the Senior Class said: “I am indefinite, but I plan to stay here in the South for awhile. I may get my teacher’s certificate next year.” She ended with a most profound statement— “Who knows”! Other girls planning to teach are Bunnie Pierce, Betty MacBrayer, Helen Creamer and Eula Cain. Eula said: “Come September I’ll be teaching my best subject—Singing Just an old maid school teacher.” Those seniors that will hear wed ding bells are: Louise Stacy, Jane Hurt, Mary Ann Spillman, Sara Hamrick, and Betty Belle Sheppe. Stacy is planning to live in Kings port, Tennessee, Shaney will move to Chicago, Mary Ann is planning to live in Wilmington, and Sara and Dave are moving to Hartsville, South Carolina. Betty Belle made an interesting comment on her fu ture wedded life. She said: “I’m getting married in June. Tommy is going to State in Raleigh and I’m supporting us for two years, teaching—or something.” There are two lucky Seniors going to Europe this summer, Lila Fretwell and Jean Starr. Lila and Jean are going on the tour with Miss Samson. Frances Horne is going to Vene- zula for the summer and Liz Le- land is going to New England. Liz When in Winston-Salem Park or Store Your Car At Downtown Garage Next to Reynolds Building on North Main L said: “Going on a grand tour of New England this summer. Come fall I’ll settle down and find a job.” Two Seniors like school so much that they are going to continue their academic education. Carter Read wants to go to Radcliff for a publishing course. Then she wants a job selling Revlon or work ing on the Winston-Salem paper. C a c k y Reid said : “I’m going ^ to Bowman Gray to take a Med Tech course—If I graduate.” Lucy Brewer and Ruth Lenkoski are going to work as soon as they graduate. Ruth seems to be very sure of what she will be doing. She said: “Am going to work, but don’t know where or what I’ll be doing.” A lot of Salemites who are day students are planning to continue their work here. Logan Vaught is planning to teach art in the Wins ton-Salem County Schools. Ruth Van Hoy will do social work. Her brother. Bill, said: “I’m not sure, but I want to stay in Winston- Salem and work for an Insurance Company.” Robert Gray is also planning to begin a job soon after he graduates. He is working with the North Western Railroad. The three men music majors are planning to go on with their music. Wesley Snyder is going to gradu ate school., Robert Sawyer is going to teach, and Kenneth Pansier is going to work for the Brodt-Se- park Music Company. Kenneth already has a church choir in Wins ton-Salem. And so we see that the class of ’50 is going to teach, get married, go to Europe, go to graduate school, and work. Patience goes to those who teach, congratulations to those who are getting married, admira tion to those going to graduate school, sympathy to those going to work, envy to those who are un decided, and Dramamine pills to those going to Europe.
