IJJSrrTED WAE FUND DEIVE Great patriotic posters similar to tlie one in Saint Mary’s covered way have adorned the newajjapers, stores, and public buildings all over the country this past week. 'I'lie direct idea, “Give To The United War Fund,” was painted there with the confident assurance that it would not go unheeded. Well, the drive is over, and we have taken advantage of our oppor tunity. Even if the amount that we pledged wasn’t tremendous, it was a symbol of the spirit of co-operation on the home front. It was not only our duty hut our privilege to share in hastening an Allied victory and helping the home front by pledging the most that we possibly could af ford, if we did that. When we think of it, the small amount of money we are able to contribute seems pitiful in contrast to the sacrifices and needs of others—their youth—their fami lies—their lives. Willingly have Saint Mary’s fac ulty and students given their sup port to the United War Fund, again surpassing the quota set. The sen iors did a good job of putting the drive over. The Belles believes we’ll sleep a little better for all this. LADY IS AS LADY DOES Collegians like to be modern in their reading, their dressing, and their thinking. Their reading con sists of modern books rather than books written before 1800; their clothes are of the latest fashions, and arc sometimes amazing; their thinking is definitely and consistent ly progressive. And yet they seem to love to chew gum—a habit which, though modern, does not make the “big difference.” Persons are mis taken who believe it has its place at dances, concerts, or any other public gathering. Chewing gum has its place nowhere in public. It is all too obvious from the comments of both males and females of various ages that gum can reduce even the prettiest face and figure to a mass of common protopla.sm. We don’t say this is a universal point of view. We don’t even claim that the majority of people agree, but we do claim that the most exclu sive few in this country who have been reared, and not raised or jerked up, and who are educated in more than just book sense, know more about good tastes, good form, and good breeding than the average guy or gal who chews gum. It’s not a matter of morals; it’s not a matter of principles; it’s just plain good breeding. Chewing gum anywhere else than in our own rooms shows lack of consideration for those who don’t like it, and that’s ill-mannered. Chewing gum is just plain com mon.

Bruce Poole, of Ealeigh, who is now somewhere in England, re ceived one of the cartons of Camel cigarettes sent overseas -by Saint Mary’s Granddaughters’ Club. Mrs. Cfuikshank received the following letter from him: Somewhere in England September 9, 1943 I’resident, Saint Mary’s Junior College, Ealeigh, North Carolina Dear Sir: Just a few lines to let you know that upon arrival in the European Theatre of Operations I was lucky enough to receive from the American Eed Cross, a carton of Camel cigar ettes marked with the enclosed stamp. Sir, I would like you to know that I have sincerely enjoyed the cigarettes and was very proud to receive that specific carton due to the fact that I am a Ealeigh boy and it just makes a fellow away from home feel 100% better to know that he has gotten something from his neighbors, and it really made me feel so very much better when I opened the carton and found that they were from you. Again let me say that I have enjoyed every smoke and I shall never forget the generosity of the American Eed Cross as well as that of the student body of Saint Mary’s. My sincere regards to all of you and I know we are all hoping that it will only be a short time before all of the boys from Ealeigh will be home. Again thanks a million times.
