Raleigh has shown a tremen dous artistic growth In the past few years since the organization of the local Civic Music Associa tion, and one cannot escape the conchision that much credit Is due to the leaders ot this organization for the progress made. T. S. John son, president ot the Association, greeted the membership briefly and called attention to the policy ot the Association that there be no reserved seats. The 1940-41 aeries ot the Ra leigh Civic Music Association got under way on the n^ght of Novem ber 12 In the Memorial Audi torium with a recltol presented by Artur Rubinstein of Poland, one of the world’s foremost concert pianists. Rubinstein, master in ex pressing moods and giving to the piano a very beautiful singing tone, made his Initial appearance in Raleigh on this occasion and played to a capacity audience of nt-arly four thousand, even though it was a rainy night. The opening number 'by the Polish pianist was an arrangement by Busoni of Bach’s Prelude, adagio and fugne in C major tor organ. A great hymn of passion, Bee thoven’s Sonata, the Appassionata, completed the first part ot the program, after which nn encore. Impromptu, opus 90 number 4 by Shubert was played. Opening the second part of the program the artist played a group ot numbers by Chopin. Thoso In cluded were; Barcarolle, opus 60, Valse In a flat. Mazurka In C minor, and Scherzo In C sharp minor. Closing the program Rubinstein played three Spanish numbers by Albenln; Navarra, Bvocaclon and "I riana. At the end ot his last group thu pianist played two more encores, Mebestraum by Liszt and the Fire Dance by De Falla. Pianists In general seem In clined lo build Iheir programs with an eye not only to the psy chologic Qftect ot the sequence of numbers, but also to the suitabil ity of mixing various types of mu sic. Rubinstein's program was both unusual and Intcrosllng In that it was niiide up of halt'classic—Bach and Boothovoii—and the rest en tirely ot romantic and modern Polish and Spanish music—Cho pin, Albenlz and Do Falla. The second concert presented by the Civic Association will be a song recital by Jan Kiopura, tenor, on Friday, December 30. Mr. S* Riley Is L R. C' Speaker Stress on Lack and Need of Understanding Between U. S. and South America The International Relations Club held its regular meeting on Thursday evening, November 16, 1940, in th^Rotunda. Mary Bllza- beth Foster of Blkln, the vice- president ot the organization, pre sided at a brief business meeting, after which ahe Introduced Mr. Samuel Gayle Riley of the Mere dith College History Department. Mr. Riley spoke on the relations between the United States and her South American neighbors, stress ing the lack ot understanding be tween the countries which he said has been due to a large extent to the dlHerences in culture be tween them. The Latin American countries are of old Spanish cul ture, while the United States Is ot Anglo-Saxon origin. In the post i.hu policy of the United States has not been such as to breed' very deep-seated friendships be tween the Americas. Our policy of being “Good Neighbors" Is fair ly recent. The speaker emphasized Iho present need tor understand ing and cooperation between the nations ot this hemisphere. The Rome-Berlln axis has made con stant attempts to gain footholds In South America, because It is rfch in resources and sparsely pop ulated. The Nazis have done great deal of propagandizing in South America, with much fuc- cess. but the United States has to a great extent neglected her A- e r y excellent opportunity of forming valuable friendships and alliances with these countries. In recent years there has been better Pan-American feeling, and all the nations are now pledged to the support of the new Monroe Doc trine. It Is imperative that well Informed citizens of this country become more interested au4 more friendly with the nations of their sister continent. / 1 Women Jiiit hve these furry, warm slippers! WINE!

Then the president ot the club intro duced the speaker ot the evening. Miss Mary W. Abernathy ot the Nortli Carolina Employment Serv ice. who spoke on Vocations. The club Is making a special study of vocations this year, and all of their programs are planned with this In view. General Metts Speaks Here In chapel on Tuesday, November 12, Adjutant-Genei'al J. Vann Metts, commander of the North Carolina National Guard, was guest speaker. His speech was based on Armistice Day. Throughout his spccch, ho brought out the tact that only through strength can we demand justice. He, also, ompha- sizod the Idea ot patriotism, which was the love ot one's home and country and living one’s life in these in a way so that one may be sti’ong enough in any eventual ity to defend It as opposed to that Idea ot great emotion, ot bands playing and Joining the army wllh- out much thought and feeling be hind It. Mrs.Morgan Qives Talk Lectures on “Growing Up” in the Morgan Manner; Five Ways to Grow Listed On November 9, Mrs. Mildred Morgan from Iowa, who was in Raleigh giving lectures on love, courtship and marriage at State College, talked in chapel.. She used as her theme tor the morning, “Needing to Grow Up in the World.” She pointed out the (act that some don’t grow up (if they can get a man without it), but that as one grows older he is much more Cun to live with and to know It he continues to grow all his life. In that way he never grows up. Other hints and steps that she gave In the growlng-up process are; 1. Grow up to be selt-dlrectlng. Be sure to cooperate with others but do not lean ou your friends and parents too much. 2. Learn to accept yourselves— that doesn't mean to stop working lo try to Improve yourself, but to accept yourself with what you have and strive to develop what you haVe and make from it the best that you can; develop your personalities and make tlie most ot youi'selves. 3. Have as an attitude toward work that ot learning to do things rather than trying to get out ot doing what you have to do. 4. Work together and think to gether with men more lhan you do—not think ot them as being altogether such dllterent human beings from you. 5. And last, look tor long-time values rather than present values In life. You should work tor the things that you should like to have happen to you. This takes day-by- day work and plenty ot It. In other words, you should make the most ot yot^r opportunities.
