Pa£:e Four THE TWIG May 4, 1940 Scandinavian Correspondent Speaks Tuesday Mr. A. W. S. Kean on Tour of Southern Schools, Tells of Con ditions in Scandina via Now Un Tuesday. April 23, Mr. Arnold \V. S. Kenn spoke In cliapel con ceniing generiil Scnndlnavlnn con- ditiona. Mr. Kean is an Bngllali- man Crom Mnncliester who bad a twoyear fcllowsbip to Harvard, 'was profceaor ot law at Cnnibrldge tor some years, and has been a corre spondent in ScandiDavta tor a New York newspaper. He la now making a tour ot Southern scliools and col leges. When Mr, Kean and his Scandl* oavlan bride sailed trom. Bergen In December, everything was peace ful in the most highly developed democracies ot the -world. Nobody suspected Hitler ot niovlng into Scandinavia witb such spontaneity. Scandinavia, according to Mr. Kean. Is very small and easily ac cessible to the EngUaii trom the sea. Denmark Is about one*tbIrd tbe size ot North Carolina, and its population is about equal to that ot Chicago. Denmark could have raised an army ot only about 160,- 000 men. To turther prove the smallness ot Scandinavia. Mr. Kean remarked that there were more Norwegians living in the United States than In Norway, Norway, In spite ot lier talrly small population, has a merchant marine hnU the size of that ot the United States. The civilization ot Scandinavia Is of a very high type. Directs May Day MRS. GERTRUDE R. SORRELL Compliments of BILL VANDEN DRIES and His Orchestra Wake Forest, N. C.

Mr. Kean listed the advantages ot Scandinavians as being at least three in number. 1. Tiiere Is little racial trouble, but tow Germans living In Den- mork. 2. They hove tow or no church revolutions because 97 per cent ot the Danes and Norwegians are Lutherans. 3. Scandinavia has spent her money on schools and hospitals and not on building up an empire or huge armament programs. As tor education, Mr. Kean said that everyone went to school until he was about 14 years at age. Then he dropped out to leurn iiow to make his own living. After several years, he would go to a folk high school where he would take up whatever subjects he chose. There were no diplomas granted or exam inations to be taken in these folk high schools, one aimply went to clnaa for what he could get out ot it. The co-operative movement ia sti-ong in Scandinavia, There arc tew chain stores In thoae countries, as the people have found that co operatives are the best means ot trading In the best products at tiic most economical prices. Scandinavia has had old-age pen slons since 1890, which goes to prove that she was early to intrO' duco social legislation to the world. Workers are all given a two-weeks paid vacation each year, and legla- lation to take care ot medical in surance has gone info pttect. Mr, Kean noted that when King Corol paased one city in Scandinavia, he liiid 101 guns fired In salute to the king's palace—he thought—but which turned out to be the home tor the old people. No one knows oxacUy what ia going nil In Scandinavia today, Mr. Kean remarked. Her solo purpose In tills w;ir was to stay out, and ovf-n In tlientors her people were urged not to e.tprcss opinions fa- vnvlni: I'lthcr the Allies or the Ger- niiinx.

Incorporated "Wo (frow ilio flowoi'S wo soil" ADDIB DAVIS An impression la something that one consciously or unconsciously receives upon llrst meeting with something or someone. In the case ot a person, her personality, char* acterlstics and mannerisms have deHnltely formed an Impression In the minds ot those with whom she comes in contact. I think one of the most lasting impressions I have ever received ot any one person, one which has been strengthened and verilled as time has passed, is 0^ Addle Davis, present president ot the Sophomore Class. One can hardly be around Addle or talk with her witlfout sensing the strength ot her personality, her capabilities, her qualities ot lead ership and dependability. She is a Virginian, being the daughter of Mr, and Mrs. J, L, Davla of Covington, Va,, and la a member ot the Virginia Girls Club. Sports hold much Interest for her, ns is evidenced by her part In them during her two years at Meredith, During her freshman year, she was a member ot her class and varsity tennis teams, Claes hockey, basketball and soccer teams. In recognition ot her inter est and participation she was elect ed to serve on the A.A, Board as freshman representative.

She takes an active part In religious organizations on the c.'impus, and ia an honorary member ot the B,S,U. Council this year. Her chosen field of service after ciollege Is some phase ot re ligious work. In iippreciation and recognition of the untiring and faithful -way ahe hiis served them as sophomore president, her class has re-elected JUANITA STAINBACK Wa-a! Wa-a! What could have been making all ot that noise? Yes, It was nothing other than the alarm made by Juanita Stalnback trying to let the world know ot her presence. This event took place in Henderson on May 22, 1920, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Stalnback. Today she uses a differ ent method ot making herself known.

She is president ot her class, vice president of tbe Ath letic Association and a member ot the B.S.U, Council this year. She was secretary ot the A.A, Board and class cheer leader her sopho more year. She was In her Fresh man Class play and in the Astro Society play. She has been a mem ber of the Olee Club all three years. We have seen her past, but let’s look to tbe future. Yes, ahe is going to be president ot the Athletic As sociation next year. This is a high honor as this, association is one of the three main organizations on the campus. She is well worthy ot this as she has been a participant in most of the college sports. Her favorite sports are tennis and bas ketball, She has been on her class basketball team for three years. Hockey and golt are other sports of Interest to her. Yes, Juanita really tells ot her lover. She likes him a lot. He helpa her plan plota and she re turns the good deeds, Listen and I'll tell you who he Is, Now don’t get excited. It Is her little brother, Bobby. JuanHa is not sure ot what she plans to do when she leaves Mere dith, but she thinks that she might enter Carolina whei'e she will take a librarian’s course. her to lead them as Junior Class president for the coming year. A warmer or truer friend, or a better all-round glrJ in every re spect than Addle Davis would be Indeed hord to find. J, McKimmon Visits Chapel What Are You Worth?

As guest clmpel speaker on April 17, Mr, Fred Weaver, assistant dean at the University ot North Caro- llnu, spoke on "Good Form In So cial Relationships," Mr. Weaver cmphaaliied the fact that the baais of good form, manner and social behavior is love. Thus the basia ot good character Is the basis of good form. Along with love as a basis, go honesty, affection and Integrity. Mr, Weaver also pointed out that the Impression one makes shows his personality, and in colleges to day youth has a good chance to develop his personality because ot the many extracurricular activities which are on the campus. Partici pation in these activities will, he said, give one a more reliable form and will help create a more im pressionable porsonallty, In closing, Mr. Weaver inontloned the universality of good form and said that good form Is tho samo everywhere. Thus, good form Is the sam> lit Meredith as It is at the University ot North Carolina, and blncn it Is this way overyoue should incorporiito good form in every thing, wherever one may he.
