have brown eyes, but blue, is using
her artistic talent to its best adr
vantage. At the present, Ruthie
is helping decorate a basement
play-room for a local family.
Nearly every Saturday afternoon
finds Ruthie going out to “work
on her project”. She is making
square-dancing children and all
kinds of cutout figures to put on
the walls.
Ruthie, at one time, preferred
painting in oils, but now she is
completely undecided, since Mr.
Shewmake is training her in pen
and ink drawings and egg tempera!
When asked ’ what her plans
were for the future, Ruthie re
moved the paint brush from be
tween her teeth and excitedly told
me that in one of her “mad mo
ments” she had applied for a
teaching job in Managua, Nicara
gua. She is waiting anxiously to
hear from the “Senora Profes-
sora”!
Ruthie is also considering doing
the illustrations for a children’s
book, which will be written soon.
If she decides to do this, she says
her only free hours will be from
3 ;00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.!
Joan Elrick is acting as a chap
erone to an academy girl twice a
week. It seems that Joan’s job is
to accompany the girl every Tues
day and Friday afternoon to the
doctor.
There are, of course, quite a few
girls on campus who have acquired
the reputation of being fine baby
sitters. Just, ask the Peterson’s or
the Spencer’s and they can give
you a number of references.
These working girls at Salem
have inspired a short poem, en
titled, “We Wish We Could” or,
with apologies to Rudyard Kipling,
“If”:
If you haven’t learned your
ABCs
Let Peggy teach you how to
please;
If you’d rather walk than learn,
Joan will tell you the brand to
burn!
Let Ruthie teach you how to
paint;
Don’t say you can — when you
know you can’t I
And if your teeth just ache and
pain,
CiO with Allison—you’ll feel good
again.
Joan E. offers her able services
If you need to visit doctors, or
even nurses!
Or if you need some one to baby
sit.
Inquire at Salem—don’t forget it.
We take our hats off to these
few;
We wish we could study and do
other work, too!
Slides To Be Shown
Vespers will be held this week
in the Friendship Room of Strong
at 6:30. Rev. Ray R. Fisher of
the Lutheran Church will show
slides on his trip to the Holy Land.
A brief coffee hour will precede
the program.
Sen. Paul Douglas chats with two Academy students
Prospects For World Peace
Discussed By Senator Douglas
By Jean Calhoun
“You cannot have your senator
and eat him too,” said Senator
Paul Douglas of Illinois in his lec
ture Monday night. He was refer
ring to a French senator of cana-
balistic Africa. He said the bones
of the senator were found because
the senator’s “colleagues” found
him disagreeable.
Senator Douglas, the fourth of
the lecture series speakers, spoke
in a calm easy voice that drew the
attention of Salem students for an
hour-long lecture.
It was a serious problem he of
fered to his audience—that of our
prospects for peace. He remarked
that though the prospects sound
somewhat depressing, “I am not
depressed.”
Freedom, a more important com
modity than party differences, must
be struggled for, he said. His
main idea of how to obtain this
freedom was by resisting aggres
sion in the East.
The “turning of the other cheek”
idea is a truth applicable for in
dividuals, he believes. He ques
tions, though, “Is it possible for a
nation to do this ?”
Raising his voice to the most em
phatic tone used thoughout his
lecture, he answered his question
with, “A police state has to be re
sisted by war.”
The white-haired scholar-politi
cian suggested manners of resis
tance. We, the free world, should
bind ourselves together. The neut
ral world we should try to win to
our side.
Though Douglas admittedly dis
agreed with some of Truman’s
policies, he lauded the action of
resisting Communism in Korea.
Had Korea fallen to the Commun
ists, he reasoned, so would have
the whole Far East and more and
more territory, until two-thirds of
the world’s population would have
become Communist dominated.
“The situation in Korea prevented
this avalanche”, he said.
Pie admitted that he favors a
partial blockade of the Chinese
coast.
Not a strong hope, but a hope,
for peace, Douglas stated, would

All Men Are Brothers
By Hadwig Stolwitrer
When you roll out of bed in the
morning, do you ever stop for a
second and wonder how many more
people in the world feel the same
regrets as you when leaving their
comfortable bed? Or better still
do you ever wonder what kind ot
bed they have to roll themselves
out of? .,
If they cover themselves with
blankets or eiderdowns, if they
tuck their sheets in or if perhaps
they do not have the kind of sheets
you are used to at all? Wouldn’t
it be thrilling to find out? To eat
all the funny meals, to do the new
sports, to see the new landscapes.
I remember how I used to won
der va,guely about all that. What
it would feel like to be in an un
known town, hearing other people
talk a strange language.
1 Found Out
I have found out now. It first it
was like a dream. When the slup
approached New York and I saw
the Statue of Liberty rising in a
cloudlessly blue sky, I wanted to
pinch my nose to make sure I was
awake. Once on land when I heard
everybody talk English it seemed
to me this was nothing but a
queer play enacted to baffle me.
It would have to come to an end
soon and then everybody would
talk the same old German as I.
For the people and the streets
looked different for sure, but not
so different at that had they have
changed their language, dresses
and manners.
They might have passed for Aus
trians or some kind of Europeans.
Yet there seemed to be a barrier
between them and me. Something
invisible- and indefinable set me
apart from them.
Then the Experiment in Inter
national Living, in Putney, V«.
mont, sent me to a family,
not only me. It sends all the
Americans as well as the foreigners
into families abroad, if they really
wish to get to know, to under,
stand and to love a country.
And you can only get to kno»
a foreign people by living with It
not by traveling through in the
fast train and staying in hotels
You have to follow its customs
and conform to them even if they
may seem strange to you.
Thus you make the most sur
prising discoveries. You find out
that Spain isn’t all bull fight, Paris
is more than just love and that the
American cowboy in his picture,
sque clothes is more or less a
thing of the past.
What surprised me most was to
find out that people all over world
really were alike. Everyone, after
all, goes to church on Sundays in
Europe as well as in America, i(
they go in winter coats and skiing
trousers because it is so cold or in
high heels and . American parly
dresses. Everywhere there art
jokes to laugh at, children who
are naughty and dates on Saturday
evening.
Experiment Teaches
I learned all this in the family
to which the Experiment had sent
me. Before I had felt completely
lost and confused by all the strange
ways of America. And the Experi
ment tries to help everybody to
find this out for himself. That in
spite of many outwardly differ
ences all men are alike. Only in
this way shall we come to love and
understand foreign countries. Foi
it is like the Bible says, that all
men are brothers. If only the
world would realize that, we could
all live more happily.
