National sditoriai SSOCIATION I Carolina i lAUOUi THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1945 BEYOND LIMIT We see where Representative Doughton has introduced a bill to increase the debt limit of the United States to $300,000,000, 000. Now the American citizens may be able to meet this debt and pay it off if given. t,ime, but one thing will be certain, while the average citizen will do his part in footing th,e bills, he will never be able to understand or comprehend that much money. . , The present dbt of $234,000,000,000 looks impossible, but if our North Caro linian up in Washington feels that it will have to be increased, we will have" to pay the price, for after all, there are other ways that to many far out weigh the ma terial sacrifices we are being called ppon to make. The staggering amount of the proposed debt should make Americans stop and realize that while the big wages of the present will not last indefinitely, the pay ment of that enormous debt will give us the feeling of and forever" be fore it is paid ogf&f this country. j.,. FREE EXPRESSION The editorial by Marilyn Kaemmerle, Ktudent at William and Mary College, . which appeared in the college paper must iiave aroused a lot of feeling in Virginia I not only among the students and faculty ; pembers but throughout the state. j At this distance we can see both sides, regardless of how shocked we might be ! over the sentiments expressed by the girl who Evidently knew little about the prob- lems of which she wrote. We know enough I about youth to realize that airing out Iheir ideas is one of the symptoms of i growing pains. Often older people have to take such things with the tolerance that the youth will learn later in life. I We don't envy the faculty in their posi j lion "for they want to encourage and de . velop student initiative, but under the cir j cumstances they had to take things in their ' own hand, for the editor of the paper wrote on a subject that must be handled j with tact. Such outbursts do not help race relations, but are much more apt to j muddy the waters of understanding. j HISTORY '. We have wondered if the current war has not made us more conscious of the j lack of teaching history in our schools. We : hear it from all sections of the country that the students in our elementary and high -schools do not know even the most familiar historical events. ! We see where this deficiency is being .agitated in schools both in the South and in the North. Recently the University-of Maryland has adopted a curriculum to give' tnore" time to American history than tiny other subject. f We approve this plan in that to have the proper appreciation of one's country it is necessary to be informed of its histori cal background. It will be increasingly vital :f or Vthe . rising generation to know these facts to make thera hold to the American principles upon which this coun t. as: founded, and for which the men iinWorld War II have made such sacri- ? I It is strange how hard it is to read his 3tt)ryJater in life. Like so many things we mu'st'geV ascertain amount of this type (Of ! information at an early period, otherwise Jin rnajofity.of cases, it is lost to us. yNonfe Carolina uJt SrjttAWCIAn) . PROTECTION OF -.PEACE With the hoped for approach of the col lapse of the German people, there comes the question that has been agitated since the opening of the war What will the Allied nations do with Germany? In a charitable spirit we honestly believe that there must be some decent ideas yet left in the country. We doubt if all the Germans have agreed fully with the ideals Of Hitler's military regime, yet in harbor ing such thoughts we find we are on dan gerous ground. We realize that we can not allow ourselves t let down the bars of sympathy for if we ao the safeguards of peace will be left off. The demand for "unconditional surren der" must continue to be the keynote of the treatment of these people who have wrought so much suffering and unhappi ness in the world. They must not be al lowed to "get by", in the common accept ance of the expression. This problem is of paramount import ance to the world, a"nd personally we are glad that we do not actually have to write the terms, which will have to be drastic and start at the bottom of the ladder, even with the very young, who will have to be taught a new outlook of life. The princi ples on which Hitler has brought the pres ent havoc in Germany mu,st be crushed out of the lives of the people. It will not be an easy task. It will take time to mold new ideals of decency after the people have been dragged down into the depths of barbarism. MOUTH ORGAN ON THE RHINE The 18,000 plastic harmonicas which the thoughtful War Department has announc ed will arrive overseas by Feb. 15 are cer tain, we think, to fulfill their we'll meant and obvious purpose of furnishing a form of portable orchestration likely to cheer snow-bucking boys on the western front. The mouth organ for one prefers this more exact name has always been pop ular with melodic amateurs, offering as it does the most music in the smallest space, the widest scope to the least talent, of all devices common to music-making man. The miniature labial calliope, when set in motion by the fervent inhalations and exhalations of an expert, has a nos talgic tonal quality capable of recalling the back porch of a farm on a summer night and thus making many a boy find "My Old Kentucky Home" that much nearer Berlin. It is interesting to remember that the harmonica, which for so many years ap peared in this country under German label, s will now be plastically returning to the home of its ancestors in the uniform pockets of boys who never expected to be playing "Swanee River" in the vicinity of the Rhine and in two feet of February's Teutonic snow. Our guess is that this first shipment of mouth organs will be so well received that an encore of at least 180,000 might fitly follow. It is not too much to predict that the brisk measures of many typical Yankee tunes will yet echo along the Wilhelmstrasse the victorious prod ucts of the almost breathless enthusiasm of G. I. mouth organs New York Herald Tribune. NO CHANCELLOR, PLEASE Louis Graves, native of Chapel Hill, who has lived close to the University, is much opposed to changing the title of the con solidated University. In an editorial in his paper, "The Chapel Hill Weekly", he recently wrote the following: "A bill t change the title of the consolidated Uni versity head from president to chancellor and to change the administrative deans to presidents has been introduced in the legislature. What the officers of the Uni versity are called is no proper concern of the Legislature's. "It is a matter that should be left to the decision of the trustees. Moreover, this is a foolish proposal. I have been waiting in vain to read or hear of any sound rea son, or even plausible pretext, for the in troduction of such a measure. "Innovations of demonstrated merit should be welcome, no matter where they come from, but I must say I have a good deal of sympathy with the member of the Legislature who said: 'Chancellor doesn't sound like North Carolina'. In this part of the country we are used to the head man being called president, or sometimes chairman, and why should we import a title with such an alien flavor? "I like to have chancellors visit North Carolina for example the former Chapel Hillian, Harry W. Chase, chancellor of New York University, and the Lord High Chancellor in Gilbert and Sullivan's 'Iolan the' but I am against turningany of our .presidents and chairmen into chancellors." TRIP TO TOKYO . watch tmmmtM t:- 'your lr?&lfef '. - ee SI HERE and THERE By HILDA WAY GWYN JANET ABEL MARION ELLIS MOST DISTINCTIVE Mai'jorie McMunus Buchanan, homo economies teacher in the Waynesville Township hitch school, is doing an excellent job. In case you were present last Thursday niorninjr for the annual Fashion Show staged by her department in the school auditorium you have had ample evidence of the fact. The show also included the annual DAK Cotton Dress Contest, spon sored by the local Dorcas I veil Love Chapter. Seventy-five home economics students took part, all wearing clothes of their own fash ioning. There was every type of girl, tall and short, slim and pleas ingly plump, dark hair, blown eyes, blondes, blue eyes. It was thrilling to watch them as they modeled. DAR WINNER why they had been the job. One thing that impressed us about the show was the fact that the dresses were practical and wearable. One might have ex pected to find some dress that would not be worn much, but the girls chose well. Now start with us and we will carry you thr'frugh the show. Scene I . . . "A College Girl's Bedroom". Here 18 girls ready for bed, deep in lessons in a typical girl's room at school. Some of them had their hair rolled up for the night busy popping corn. They wore pajamas of every color with house coats in pastels. The girl looked so natural an they modeled that they gave one the feeling of reality rather than that of watching- an exhibition. In this scene were: Elsie Sutton, Mary Lou Messer, Mary Ianning, Jackelyn McCracken, Ruth Rath bone, Betty Leatherwood, Jean Ann Bradley, Jenny Mae Harts well, Thomasine Franklin, Dare Howell. Doris Bolin. Dolores Un derwood, Mary Parton, Margaret Nelson, Fannie Kate Browning, Eula D. Dunhan, Katherine Sparks and Jackelyn Moody. As they left their places in the picture and walked across the stage each in her turn of modeling to the tune of "School Days, Dear Old Golden Rule Days", it gave us a nostalgia to be a "teen ager'' once again. The show was well planned from the clever introduction given in rhyme by Nancy Jones, Jean Ann Bradley, Peggy Ingle, Jane Wyche, Theresa Alley and Joyce Moody, in pinafores of their own making, to the closing scene . . . "Across the ('of ton Patch'' . . . The music by the high school or chestra added a festive air with appropriate tunes . . . The stage setting complimented each presen tation with just the right back ground. As the girls modeled their own handiwork, our imagi nation stalled down the avenue of Time. Not being a prophet, we couldn't be sure, but among those 75 models, we felt that there must be A potential Hattie Carnegie or a Clare Potter, of the future making her initial showing in that parade of dresses on Thursday, who may someday recall with a smile her "first showing''. Even if no one in the group ever reaps the fruits of fame, they are learning something that will tie a joy to them forever and in case they marry will make them a jov to their husbands. Scene II "School Goes On A Vacation'' . . . There were skirts, and blouses, pinafores, tailored dresses, airy summer flocks, and bright plaids, with the following f FIRST SIGN OF A Before .we get into the show let's take a look at the Home Kc department. There are 146 girls taking the work, which includes a three-year course, and each girl has a class of one hour each day. The class of 194") is the largest ever enrolled. Now you may judge for yourself whether or not the Home Ec teacher has her hands full. In addition to sew ing the girls are given instruc tion in: Child care and training; family life: home furnishings; nutrition; consumers education; health and general appearance. USE 66 TABLETS.

We heard Mrs. Boyd suggest to the others, "Let's just go home before the show is over, howtcan we judge?" We con gratulated ourselves that we had only to "cover" them as a whole ffnd not , say who was the best. However, we might add that they were swell pickers, and after they made their decisions we realized Voice OF THE People Do you think we can hare per manent peace without an interna tional police force?
