Two QUEENS BLUES November 20, 1931 QUEENS BLUES Member North Carolina Collegiate Press Association necessary for an auundant life—but activities add more fulness to the long course of the student. The tastes of anyone may be developed in college. In the first place one has the opportunity to specialize in her favorite subjects; in the second place, she has the opportunity to take an interest in athletics, journalism, Christian work, or other phases of activity which she prefers. Our college days are overflowing with advantages. It is our responsibility to get what we can from the store of happiness.

Co-operation is such a big word and means such a great deal, but it’s just the word needed for the purpose in which it is used in this issue. The staff wants you to use that word to the greatest degree of your ability. Why? Well, here’s why. This paper of yours that tells what you do here around the school is gotten out solely for you. It tells of your activities and achievements, and many goals set that go to make your campus life. Getting out this paper takes a great amount of work on the part of the staff. It would surprise a great many students, if they became familiar with the inner workings, and all these pages of print require. Don’t you think we deserve a little retribution ? This is what we want you to do: This paper is given to you at a nominal cost per year and that takes care of it without any worry on your part—the worry is left to the staff. This money is not half enough for us to run a paper the entire year, this means that many, many inches of advertising- must be secured to pay for the succeeding issues. Now! How do you usually feel when you ask someone for something that is very important to you, and “NO” is shouted in your ears. You feel just a little mad, don’t you? Well, that’s the way the members of the staff feel? After walking many weary miles searching for ads to pay for your paper ; then to have people tell them that they can’t advertise—you can imagine how dis heartened^ they become—to say nothing of our poor bank account. This is why we want you to trade with those who are adver tising with us. It is not fair for you to give your money to stores that do not believe in reciprocity. Besides, you should keep faith with those who are up-to-date enough as to advertise and keep them encouraged to continue advertising. And! Day Students! Show your school spirit! Lend the use of at least one car a week to save tired feet a few weary miles. The staff would appreciate all of those offers of those girls who would help us in this. We are leaving this up to you! Do you want your school to have a paper ? Or do you want to see the standard of your school lowered because school spirit and student co-operation were lacking? Think this over and then act—for the school’s welfare. Once again the day that our National President has set aside as the people’s day of Thanksgiving is approaching. This day has always been one of glorious praise to God and his goodness. This year, many people are contending that the lack of finances ought to reduce this day to just a general day, not one of thanksgiving. Was there ever a time in history so bad that it couldn’t be worse? Why should we cease giving thanks in the face of a depression in our economic life ? This bitter cynical spirit that is being circulated among the populous will dry up the source of gratitude if it is not stopped. Even though things do not look so bright, we should be thankful that we are alive and our land is free from famine and pestilence. Sup pose we were in China’s shape? We wouldn’t have much to be thankful for—think of how bad a condition our country would be in if it was flooded, or was at war? Why shouldn’t we be thankful ? We must remember the origin of Thanksgiving — our fore fathers, way back in days of constant peril and no conveniences or protections, established this day in gratitude to God for his goodness. Why should we in a day of every convenience and protec tion do away with this because of financial depression—our Pilgrim Fathers were more poverty-stricken than we ever thought of; so be grateful for Thanksgiving. We have refined and cultured homes, honest and kind friends and most of all we have God’s given privilege, that of sharing our love. When we look down deep in our hearts, we know that loving is living and when we spend our life giving loving service, we find happiness. VT should be thankful for the opportunities given to us. We are here at college to train the talent or talents that are given us and if -vve don’t take advantage of this opportunity we’ll lose it. This is not the only time in history that the world has seen depression. There was an editorial printed in Harper’s Weekly, October 10, 1857, that might well be speaking of today. We recall how prosperous days returned and the world came up out of the depths. Surely prosperous days are well on their way now. It seems thoug'h that until this question of World Peace is settled in Geneva in February, the de]n-ession will continue to be with'us. Let us hope to see this settled for the best then—the best being for all, it seems—our world at Peace. Student Vespers Prove Successful ACTIVITIES A great part of college life is spent in devoting time to ex- curricula activities. The great joy of college days is experience in such devotion. An adequate knowledge of textbooks is certainly The Ves])er Services this week were very interesting indeed. A student program was given under the leadership of Margueri Brown. The aim of the Student Christian Association in having these special programs is to make Christ more real on our campus through: (1) Faith, (2) love, (3) reverence, (4) loyalty, (5) gratitude and, (6) service. The theme for the evening was the second of a series of programs under Faith — “God’s Faith in Man,” This topic was divided into three sub-topics which were explained and discussed by the following girls: God’s Faith in Man”—Frances Johanson’. “Man’s Faith in Man” — Ruth Van der Martin. “Qualities which Invite Faith” —Hannah Bay Ian. Each of these talks was very inspiring and helped to remind us that God does have confidence in us and that we must live up to this Faith toward Him and to ward our fellow-men in order to lie worthy of His love. Some Thoughts PEACE By Frances Johanson Peace 1 Does the world want peace? Or does it want to try its many ingenius methods for ex terminating man in the twinkling of an eye and indulge in that jross evil, war? Is the possession >f gold and territory all the worth in life ? And must we fight for that ? Where is the faith of man in man ? Must he ever be on guard lest his fellow brings him harm merely to satisfy petty jealousies and a desire for ma terial gain ? Does the world want peace ? Leagues, conferences, congress cry “Peace, peace!” When there is no peace. The nations are pre pared not for peace, but for war. But we want peace. The youth in all lands want peace. Hot- blooded, fiery youth craves peace to slack its thirst, inherited from warring forefathers. Peace, where is thine abode? In the heart of a trusting man? One’s confidence in another, nation trusting nation, brings Peace. World, give us Peace! tl S. d( cl ai Pi b\ C( H FI ki te ot Tc de SC an or; pr Ov Ch pe: en1 £!u dre
