Le Cercle Francais Enjoys
Trip to Village of Valdese
By Nora Lee Cook
The Barker, Burlin gton High School
(Winning Feature)
A French-speaking community in North Carolina? Well, so it is-on the second
Sunday of eacn montn m vaiaese. az xms xime us citizens, aiucuouw,
immigrants and descendants from their homelands in Southern France and
Northern Italy, turn Valdese into a French-speaking and French-worshipping
community. They cling to the religious traditions which were their fore
fathers' and cherished now as their
of their native tongue in the ministry
Thus ventured the Burlington high
school French club, accompanied by
their sponsor, Mrs. J. A. Hunter, to the
small, quaint, but constantly growing
Waldensian town, taking advantage of
its educational opportunities.
On your way to participate in the
unique second Sunday service, you
note this sign in front of the trim,
sturdy, compact Waldensian church:
"The Waldensians are a religious body i
dating from the Middle Ages. ... A
group from the Cottian-Alps (North
ern Italy and Southern France) that
founded Valdese in 1893."
Quite surprising is the entrance of
the church. You do not enter where it
faces the highway, but you go around
to what we would term its rear. In
side are seated around 50 members.
Only men and women in their middle
and late twenties and the more mature
persons of the colony turn out to wor
ship on this particular occasion.
Music from the piano was played,
and then the announcement of a hymn
in French. The congregation arose,
each with a small book before him or
her, and began to sing in the French
tongue. This was followed by a preyer,
more hymns, offertory, and the ser
mon. Then one more song in French,
another short prayer, in the same lan
guage, and the service was closed.
The Waldensians who left their home
in 1893 to search for new homes and
. m mm a al
new opportunities Drought to this
country their expert knowledge of bak
ing. Today this industry has 30 routes,
serving patrons at a distance of ap
proximately 85 miles. Sunday is the
only day the French bread is made.
' As the club members turned back to
get a last glimpse of quaint Valdese,
with its attractive houses, friendly
people, and beautiful scenery, the word
u revoir" (good by) could not be
said. They hated to leave the homey
atmosphere, and so only the word
meaning "see you soon" flowed from
their lips "a bientot!"

Writes of Visit
To Chapel Hill
By Clayton Vandiver
"YOU, JOHN SMITH, you and all
the other John Smiths in this country
will be needed to win this war and the
peace that follows, to keep your pillar
of wisdom untarnished by shellacking
it with the knowledge abundantly sup
plied to your people, and to keep the
trust that your forefathers placed in
a hand that can grasp or loosen its
hold."
With these words, with this narration
aptly put and concise dramatizations
following, I realized that Chapel Hill
was no longer a peaceful, age-old col
lege, but one of the many colleges at
war. -Not in actual combat, not even
near the firing line, but still giving
her part in the war effort of a nation
which once fondled her, and now, one
which asks its assistance.
The pupils passing in review on the
campus each day still appear the same.
They still laugh and cry, they still joke
and play, but as beauty is only skin
deep, so is this penciled make-up of
gaudy, self assurance, a front put on
for the benefit of the next fellow. This
is still the same old carefree crowd, but
with some of the ruffles and frills re
moved by the conception that man is
fighting to kill man, to put him in a
cage that he might be used as the slave
of demogogic ideas and ideals.
As a nation bright with the light of
freedom and liberty, and a college il
lumined with the flare of wisdom and
sages leave the peace of a Utopian and
angelic sphere, likewise do their chicks,
loyally following the mother as she
clears the way for her next genera
tion. -FOR VICTORY BUY BONDS
