The Belles of Saint Mary’s February 6, 1953 Contribute to Annual March of Dimes Drive The March of Dimes has begun again at Saint Mary’s, and this year it is more important than ever. Fighting polio on a national scale requires a great deal of money. The N'ational Foundation of Infan tile Paralysis must maintain scien tific research and buy expensive services and equipment. This year the foundation is at a crucial point in its research. Scientists now be lieve they can develop a safe and sure way to prevent paralytic polio in human beings. The Foundation must have more money to complete its research. The March of Dimes at Saint Mary’s is completely voluntary. The school has no quota to make! Money is not solicited on the halls as it is for other drives. The suc cess of the March of Dimes de pends entirely upon the voluntary donations of each student. Most students, have probably con tributed or will contribute to the March of Dimes. The following facts will probably interest contrib utors. Polio strikes an average of 30,000 people a year in the United States. Both adults and children are stricken, and an increasing number of adults have had the disease in recent years. Any one at Saint Mary’s could have polio. Every one is familiar with the highway caution slogan “Drive carefully. The life you save may be your own.” Anyone might think of a similar slogan when he hesitates to put an extra dime into the little iron lung at the post office. Give generously. The life you save may he your own. Jerome Hines Sings At Local Auditorium Kaleigh Civic Music Association presented Jerome Hines, basso, of the Metropolitan Opera Company in a concert at Memorial Auditorium January 30. Alexander Alexay accompanied Mr. Hines at the piano. Mr. Hines’ program included “Fu Dio Che dise” from Guiseppe Apol- loni’s L’Ehreo. “Serenade” from Berlioz’s La Davinaiion de Faust. Faure’s “Automne” and “Le Tam bour-major” from Ambroise Thom as’ Ae Caul. The final section of the program was composed of “You Can’t Take It With You,” “Into the Wight,” and “Mistaken Iden tity.” Mr. Hines’ gestures, especially his voice delighted the audience. Fireside Companions Understand Friendship Eain. Cold penetrating rain, that chills the blood, is falling swiftly, delicately outside. And I am warm. I am closed within four walls, pro tected, and safe from the drenching wet. Who is not ? How many, peo ple feel the water run through their clothes? How many people wish that they were dry? How many American men, somewhere far from home, long to be standing by a red fire ? How many of these men would give a year of their lives to see the drizzle through a windowpane while watching welcome flames lick the side of an often-used fireplace? I know not how many; yet one I do know. Shall I use him as a sym bol of all the rest 2 I think I will tell you what he feels. He is homesick. The cold, the rain, they are almost oblivious. He wants the fireplace. That is what he misses. His friends are like him. He knows how they feel. The rain makes them close. As you and I have the fire in common; they have the rain. It makes them as one. We are not one as they are. Why? Be cause we are not as thankful for what we have as they would be for what they do not have. Bodily we are warm. We are warm to our own selves. They are warm to each other. We are taking for granted that which they have once known. You and I are not even enjoying our comfort. We are not even aware of it. They are more at ease in their dreams; we are at ease in waking moments. But, my companion of the fire side, if you are cold in mind for those who are cold in body, if you will allow yourself to realize our luxury, and their dreamed of luxury, then we, too, may he one. And if you can succeed in your attempt to understand their longing, then come, and walk with me in this falling ocean. Ice Capades Schedule Production in Raleigh in Havel’s “Chanson A Boire,” and There are two ways of being happy: we may either diminish our wants or augment our means— either will do—the result is the same; and it is for each man to decide for himself, and do that which happens to be the easiest.— Franklin. There are two ways of treating gossip about other people, and they’re both good ways. One is not to listen to it, and the other is not to repeat it.—George Horace Lo- RIMER.
