Page Four THE HILLTOP, MARS HILL COLLEGE, MARS HILL, NORTH CAROLINA Sebren, New Prof., Develops Good Band (Continued from page 1) tended summer school at Berea for two years. He expressed his desire that all members of the band should re ceive uniforms before the end of the year. Arrangements have been made by Mr. Sebren for the band to go to two games away from Mars Hill, the Lee.s-McRae game at Spruce Pine and the Brevard game at Brevard. A very successful year for the Mars Hill band is anticipated un der the capable leadership of Mr. Sebren. ^‘Bazaar Of India” Presented By Willett (Continued from page 1) Hindu city. But the party soon had to leave Bombay for the jun gle territory. The temperature was 135 degrees in the first sum mer. Near the ceiling of most of the huts were mattings which, when pulled by a rope on the outside of the house, stirred the air and caused a slight cooling ef fect. Hindu boys worked all day at this task. Some stood up; some bent over; and some worked ly ing on their backs with their toes twisted around the rope. Mr. Willett shared with all the party experiences with animals of the Indian jungles. The elephant, the largest in size and the strong est in physical strength, is con sidered very graceful. If a Hindu wished to pass a compliment on a maid he would say, “She walks like an elephant.” The water-buf falo and his habits were revealed. The manner in which the hyena and jackal disturb human beings in the jungle is quite interesting. The hyena laughs all night while the jackal cries at the same time. The ants of India cause more damage than any of the larger animals. They clear the jungle of all vegetation. When a river ob structs their advance, the ants tunnel under it. The real king of the jungle is not the lion, but the tiger. The markings of his body make him practically invis ible to the human eye. His cun ningness and ability to slip through the jungle unnoticed by all make him the most feared animal. One of the most feared snakes is the Vipera Rus»elli. His poison ous venom will kill within sev en minutes. However, the most dreaded reptile of all is the cobra. He strikes from a crawling posi tion. Before a person realizes that he is nearby, he can be close. By a swaying motion of his head he can bite anything in his vicin ity. His bite brings death within four minutes. Mr. Willett related experiences with both the viper and the cobra as well as with the tiger. He displayed two knives of the type which are used in bat tling a tiger from a tree house. Six years in the jungle region of India were spent in sixty min utes. Hindu costumes, both for men and for women, were shown. A sacred knife of the Tibetan monks was displayed for the audi ence. A pair of trousers twenty feet in the waist was spread out for amused spectators to view. Various types of Hindu art and handicraft were placed on public display for a short time after the lecture. After journeying to India for Herbert Sebren a brief stay, one realizes more than ever before that Kipling was speaking truly when he wrote: “East is East, and West is West, and never the two shall meet. Till Earth and Sky stand pres ently at God’s Great Judg ment Seat.” Dramateers Meet, Elect New Officers waiting for a flank move by the Germans and declare that they are fully prepared for any such move. Belgium and Holland may be the countries to pay the price, but you may be sure that Prance will not wait for German troops to enter France before fighting. France now has nearly six million men under arms and with expect ed millions to come from England feels herself equal to any attempt by the Germans to enter France. The French are carefully wooing the Italians but remind them that it will be much easier for French troops to enter Italy than Italians to enter France. There are also rumors of a French-Spanish trea ty which would keep Spain neu tral. The Germans will not at tempt to break the Maginot Line, and we think it unlikely that the French can and will break the Westwall. (Continued from page 1) Anne Lewis; as Melisande, Emily Patrick; as Jane Bagot, Virginia Lisk; as Bobby Coote, Ralph Jinette; as Gervase Mallory, C. C. Hope; as Erxn, Mac Kennickell; as Gentleman Susan, Paul Myers; and as Alice, Geraldine Shields. Regarding the chief character, the author says: “A word about Melisande. Many critics say that nobody behaves like that now- days. So, very humbly, I say, when Melisande talks and behaves in a certain way, I do not mean that a particular girl exists (Miss Jones, of 999 Bedford Park) who talks and behaves like this, but I do mean that there is a type of girl who, in her heart, secretly thinks like this. If you tell me there is no such type, then I shall only smile.” International Summary (Continued from page 2) dominions are of great value to the mother country because they furnish potential manpower as well as food and raw materials. The British empire can muster nine million men and can count on a limitless supply of raw ma terials. Her main defect is that she possesses only a small num ber of trained men and officers, Should England again give in to Hitler, we can prepare for the end of the British empire. Should England lose the present war, we must prepare for a quick collapse of the British empire. Can France Break the Westwall? The world’s best army is not foolishly destroying itself on the Westwall defenses. We do not think that they will even attempt an attack on the main lines. France is content to occupy Ger man soil and force Hitler to fight here for a while. The French are $17.50 ^Complete Line of Young Men'sJ Furnishings STERLING CLOTHIERS 5 W.

But Poland, victim of aggression for centuries, has fal len. The Corridor is once again German, and the Poles are once again the oppressed. Germany and Russia have decided to divide Poland. Germany gets the smaller but richest part of Poland, and Russia gets the rest. There has been some talk of a buffer state between the two countries, but this seems unlikely for Germany would hardly desire the Polish nationalist spirit to live on. Ger many has won the first round in this war for she has accomplished all that she set out to do. (Continued from page 2) “Should Public Schools Teach the Facts of Life?” Das Deutsche Echo, a magazine published in German, should be entertaining as well as beneficial to students of German.

While the Germans celebrate their victory in Poland and the new friendship of Russia, we question if this move of Russia on Poland was not meant to be a move by Stalin to block Hitler. Hitler does not dare advance further into the Balkans or the Baltic, and he sees his dream of the Ukraine shattered by recent events. The Allies would like to think that this is true, and there is a chance that it is so. Events change so .swiftly in the east that it is hard to say for sure just what Stalin wants and just what Hitler will let him have. Some claim that Russia has forced Hit ler to swallow much of his pride.
