FARMVILLE STUDENT WRITING STORIES A recent issue of The Woodberry Quarterly carried a splendid article by a Farmville student, Bill Pollard, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. 0. Pollard, who as a sophomore there, is reported as doing fine work. The article, written prior to our entry into the World struggle, and in the form of a short, short story entitled "It Was A Peaceful Night," is dedicated "to the British, a brave brave and we hope, a victorious people .. . "and reveals the author's ability to live in the character he so vividly portrays. • The story points a word picture of an English countryside in a peaceful section of the Isle, which had not felt the fury of German bombs until that night. A shepherd, wending his way homeward as the moon rose, was lost in meditation on the war and thoughts his older sons, who were defending their country in His Majesty's service. Then his thoughts came back to his immediate surroundings and he reflected on the peaceful night as he neared his thatched roof cottage. He could almost see his wife and children as they busied themselves about the supper table and listened j for his footsteps. Conscious of the buzz of what he thought at first to be insects, he was startled to find the sound changing j into the loud hum of "death birds" j overhead. Then he saw the tiny j gleam of lanterns, which meant that Mary and the children were scurrying to the crude bomb shelter he had j built. As the first bomb fell the father began running towards his home and^praying. The second one j stunned him, and, as he regained consciousness, he saw the ruins of his cottage and the unharmed raid shelter, which his doomed family never reached; all destroyed in an instant. With a keen sense of understanding the author depicts a human being bereft of all he holds dear apd with only one hope left, "that some day England will overcome that beast who destroyed all good." We are glad to have had this opportunity of seeing evidence of the talent, which we understand Bill possesses in goodly measure.

BIRD CLUB Following the Bird Pledge, repeated by all the members at the Bird Club meeting-, Saturday, Julian Boyse read a poem by Mabel Oswood Wright, "The Brown Thrasher," and Paschall Barrett read an article describing his coloring and habits. Paschall found that he is a large bird, more than eleven inches long, with a very long tail, which is rounded at the end. He is rusty brown above and has a creamy speckled breast. He likes to perch in a very high tree to deliver his melodious song. The Brown Thrasher consumes a large amount of insect food, including grasshoppers, caterpillars, cut worms, crickets, spiders and beetles. He is also a planter, being responsible for many of our wild seedlings. A songster, forester and insect fighter, a garden in considered fortunate indeed that is host to a Brown Thrasher.
