THE HILLTOP, MARS HILL COLLEGE, MARS HILL, NORTH CAROLINA
State Groups Plan Library Service In
Madison County With “Bookmobile’
The people of North Carolina
are becoming increasingly in
terested in public libraries. Since
our state is largely rural, the de
velopment of county library serv
ice is an important part of build
ing adequate library facilities for
the people of our state. Equaliiz-
ing support for rural and urban
libraries is one of the chief pur
poses of the North Carolina
Library Association, the Citizens’
Library, and the North Carolina
Library Commission. These or
ganizations have arranged for six
meetings to be held throughout
the state to discuss state aid for
public libraries. Anyone interest
ed in better public libraries should
attend the meeting closest to him.
The- meetings at Morganton, Oc
tober 6, and at Murphy, October
18, are those nearest our campus.
The most recent assistance
given to those in our state who
have no access to a library is the
bookmobile. These bookmobiles
are trucks that have the capacity
for about four hundred books
which are distributed to rural
sections regularly. The following
seven counties of our state have
recently purchased permanent
■book trucks: Alamance, Davidson,
Durham, Gaston, Granville, Ire
dell, and Rockingham.
The selection of books for these
bookmobiles has been made to
cover almost all subjects: current,
social, economic, international and
government problems.
Our college librarians. Miss
Johnson and Miss Church, have
obtained the use of one of these
trucks belonging to the state and
will sponsor the demonstration
service for Madison county. Miss
Johnson wil visit two high schools
each day, one in the morning and
one in the afternoon, beginning
Monday, October 3, and extending
through Friday, October 29.
Any students on the campus
who are interested in library work
may accompany Miss Johnson for
one day if he asks permission.
Surely, by individual effort, the
sixty-two percent of our state
population who have no library
service will learn to know and
love books.
While Henry and Jack knock
tackles for spins.
The
guards, “Joe Blow” and
“Fitz”, are right on the spot.
Forget “Booger”, the center, he
isn’t so hot;
Hats off to the reserves, as im
portant as all.
They are always there ready,
when a regular does fall.
Three cheers for the cheer lead
ers, whose cheers drive us on.
The students would back us
from now till doom’s dawn;
The managers, Huskins and
“Thig,” are a couple of nuts.
But everyone says we have
plenty of ????? (intestines).
We take the field in our gold and
blue.
With one determination, M. H.
C. we fight for you;
Our coaches, Roberts and Dicker-
son, lead us to fame.
Fighting for the one school,
with a might grand name.
—^Neil S. “Bogger” Whitaker.
SO IT SEEMS
By PAUL EARLY
The “Hoot” And
His Men
As
‘The
the fall comes around the
bend.
We see approaching us
Hoot” and his men;
We see no players who curse and
swear.
Only bdys who live up to the
gold and blue they wear.
We see them sweating hard at
work.
They hit their men hard and
up with a jerk;
Around the old track, they go on
the run.
Never once looking up at the
setting sun.
Now for a ramble through some
of the names.
Of the boys who play football
and never think of the
“dames;”
We start with the backfield,
Quincy, Chick, Bobby, and
“Bear,”
When they take that old foot
ball, they do pretty fair.
The line is there also to do their
little bit.
When an opponent comes
through, he wil probably be
hit;
Jimmy and Puett take care of the
ends.
An attempt at column writing
is under way. There have been
many columns in The Hilltop, so
bear with another.
By the way, did you see the
editorial on cooperation which
was published in the last Hilltop?
However needed it may be ’round
Mars Hill campus, we noticed it
was reprinted in The Twig of
Merdith College this week. Thanks
to The Twig staff for reading the
paper and our wish is that it may
do some good on our sister col
lege there.
•A blue and gold lily to our
cheer leaders for their excellent
work in manufacturing the old
school spirit or perhaps I should
say for leading our energetic C-1
class as they take a large part of
our team backing on themselves.
“Come on, you Lions, let’s hear
you roar; hit that line with all
your might, lots of pep, that’s
the rep, make the other fellow
step; for it’s rah, rah, rah, for
old Blue and Gold, and call out
her name loud and strong, M.H.C.
I Bring us fame, fame, fame, and
always play the game; keep the
pigskin a-roiling along! How about
it?
Who hasn’t met Miss Velma
Preslar on the campus this week?
Her slogan goes with a familiar
tune something like this, “On to
Memphis, fight right through til
then; B.S.U. fellowship, true and
loyal; Memphis sure this time!
Rah, rah, rah! and don’t we all
agree? About twenty off Mars
Hill campus will be hitting Ashe
ville and the special coach Wed
nesday night, October 26th for a
wonderful time—5 days of it.
Let’s all go to Memphis—^register
today with W. R. Wagoner. By
the way, it’s a Southwide B.S.U.
Conference with all the trim
mings, including three thousand
college students.
How could we include a timely
note on the situation in Europe?
So many things happen all the
time that “one never knows, does
one?” If the war comes in spite
of the efforts of Chamberlain and
others, what is to happen to the
United States? The youth of
America might be called upon to
resist an invasion from a German
base fortified in Canada, if that
country followed her announce
ment that she would fight for
Czechoslovakia. Would we be rea
dy? Should we make ready? Will
the situation be settled peaceful
ly; is Hitler a bluff; can Germany
lick the world; does she still want
to? Who can answer these ques
tions? Prayer can answer any
problem; so may Europe’s and our
problems be settled soon and
peacefully. ,
