"W h y College Students D i e Young”.one Shorty Milner, Student at U.N.C. decided a piece of hair dropped too far down over his forehead and cut it off. Through a miscalculation the re sult of a bad spot. Shorty decided to do a thorough job, and had all his hair shaved off .... next day he received a letter from the local photographer saying his pictures for the “Annual” hadn’t come out right, and for him to come im mediately to have some more made. (The Daily Tar Heel tells all about it in the column Small Fry.) ■—o— WHERE THERE’S LIFE THERE’S HOPE At long, long last I visualize A baby clean and neat: For once you ate your cereal And none got on your feet; A baby clean and dainty At last I visualize: For once you ate your cereal And none got in your eyes. —o— This appeared in Charles (Mike) Houston’s column, Richmond Side show in the Richmond News Lead er: POOR OLD TARHEELIA WAR STORY: It seems that when Mr. Roosevelt asked Mr. Hitler to be good, Mr. Hitler replied (according to the story) that if Mr. Roosevelt would give him just one of his forty-eight states he would behave . . . After much conference it was decided that this would be a State well spent for peace . . and then they worked on the map and wired Mr. Hitler they’d give him North Carolina . . . and Hit ler’s reported reply: “If that’s the best you can do, then I’ll go ahead with my original plans” ... (Mr. Houston knows a great deal about Mr. Hitler, apparently . . . and Mr. Houston has a moustache . . . ) AND NOW PLEASE NOTE 1. Mr. Hitler’s newspapers car ried articles about the terrible con ditions in Austria. i?. Mr. Hitler decided he would like to own Austria. 3. Mr. Hitler’s papers carried ar ticles about impossible conditions in Czechoslovakia. 4. Mr. Hitler decided he would like to own Czechoslovakia. 5. Mr. Hitler’s papers said Poland was an awful, a lawless, country. 6. Mr. Hitler decided he would like to own Poland. AND NOW 1. Mr. Houston’s column is cast ing aspersions on North Carolina. 2. We had better watch out. —o— Little Izzy is a funny And eccentric sort of waif; Swallowed all his sister’s money He was only playing safe. • • . Exchange. Married - - - By Whom? Where? By C. T. ROGERS, Pastor Rosemary Methodist Church Who officiated at your marriage; that is, who performed the sacred rites of matrimony for you? “Well, what difference does it make just so I am married?” And that is about what many think of this very sacred ceremony. Both parties of this life time (supposedly) business ought to be very thoughtful and careful to make the marriage cere mony as impressive as possible, es pecially so, should the woman see to this important fact, for perhaps upon her will fall first, the blow of any mistake of a thoughtless or careless marriage. Marriage is the most solemn and sacred rite entered into by human beings; therefore, “it is not to be taken in hand unadvisedly, but reverently,, discreetly, advisedly, and in the fear of God.” So to you women who plan to marry or to you who may have something to do with others marrying, stress the fact that it is a serious, solemn af fair and should be so thought of. There are too many broken homes in Roanoke Rapids, proving that this obligation should not be enter ed into hastily or carelessly. Selecting the proper person to perform the ceremony certainly ought to be considered. It ought to rrtake a difference. Matrimony was instituted of God, and Christ, we are told, “adorned and beauti fied with His presence” such a ceremony at Cana of Galiliee. So it should be a religious act, blessed by God. Naturally then the one to pronounce the vows should be a minister of the Gospel. I cannot conceive of anyone else being pre pared for such a holy service. What think you? It would be hard to believe, if we did not have facts to the contrary, that a member of the Church would have anyone but a minister, and that minister would be the pastor of the Church, the lady having the privilege to invite her pastor or both pastors, if the couple are of a different denomi nation. I have never known a people who turn aside from the State, County, Town and pastors as the folks of Halifax County—it ought not to be! Added to all I have said, every one ought to take pride in saying I was married in North Carolina, in my own town or com munity and by my own pastor. Why marry in Emporia, Virginia? Think on these things, young peo ple. Henry Clay Robbins of Fort Monroe, Va., spent the week-end with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. 'B. Robbins.
