This, That and
the Other
By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS
In a daily paper last week a con
tributor bemoaned the fact that
our young men who are leaving
for Army camps do not seem to
get any thrills out of going. In
my opinion they deserve more
credit for departing that way than
if they were elated over the idea.
Doubtless, they are beginning
something which will be hard for
many to do; they are leaving work
or positions which may not be
theirs when they return; they are
going because their government
needs their services and not on a
picnic. Why should they shout
and yell? To give up one’s own
plans and preferences is no laugh
ing matter.
On the other hand, those who
go from a sense of duty will, all
their lives, have a possession that
nothing can take from them, and
in the days to come there will be
many without such satisfaction.
Right now everything is so mud
dled and confused it is hard to see
and think clearly; but we must
believe in the eternal principles
and, to some extent at least, base
our lives upon them. Surely life
can not be purposeless!
You may not see much of
anything in the quotation that fol
lows; my husband does not care
for it; but to me, it expresses a
thought or a prayer that is com
forting. It is from a poem pub
lished in Harper’s Magazine.
“For if you go to war and come
back whole,
There must be meaning in some
gate you open.
And if you go to war and come
not home,
There must be meaning in some
gate you open.”
The Bible says of this season,
“The time of the singing of birds
has come.” It might be added that
the time of their fighting is here
also. Last Thursday when we
went to dinner three brown
thrashers in our yard were so busy
they paid scant attention to us,
though we went within a few feet
of them.
Two birds were fighting, tooth
•—or beak—and toenail. The third
fluttered about and occasionally
flew between the fighters or dart
ed just above them. Whether she
wanted to stop the battle or meant
to incite them to greater fury I
could not state positively. Selma
said they had been carrying on
like that a great part of the morn
ing.
When, after a.i hour or more, we
started b; k to work those two
birds were right down in the
. driveway, clinched like wrestlers,
the female still '".itching and twit
tering. They scuffed into the hol
ly hedge and we left them.
When we went to supper only
two birds were to be seen and
they had 1 egun to build a nos* ”
“The course of true love—.”
Last week I read proof on a
quotation from a state law. It
said: “No person shall allow his
dog over six months old to run at
large in the night time unaccom
panied by the owner or by some
member of the owner’s family, or
by some other person by the own
er’s permission.” The law asserts
that the owner is liable for dam
ages done in such case.

Hears Ed Chow
. Chinese Student at
W ake Forest Tells
of War
Members of the woman’s club
and a number of visitors heard
with deep interest a discussion of
China’s position and part in the
present war as presented by Ed
ward Chow of China and Wake
Forest College on Tuesday after
noon.
The speaker described the years
lof struggle through which his
country has already passed, de
claring that China has fought with
; determination; with the heart,
| striving not to hate the Japanese,
but only their miliaristic ambi
tions; with all they have in
j strength and property.
He believes that after the war
, China will strive for greater de
velopment in democracy, to be
self-sustaining, arid to be more
nearly a Christian nation.
Seldom has the club had an op
portunity of hearing a native of
another country speak with such
1 understanding of vital problems
■of the day and Mr. Chow’s talk
was sincerely appreciated.

Luther Massey spoke five min

ther said possibly each one will
be contacted once a month to buy
the bonds. He did not think we
would be compelled to buy at the
time being.
Prof. Moser had the program,
his subject being “Value of an Ed
ucation.” He gave many reasons
why one should strive for an edu
cation. It does not always help
to make money unless to take a
professional course.
Irby Gill and Ferd Davis were
