(hfcMStnt *ZuQuniih The Village There are many who will tell you that the Village is no more. They will tell you that the Village they knew in years gone by is mostly a memory. The Village to them was not a section of New York like the Bronx but an idea, perhaps even a movement. Greenwich Village in the days when your reporter was fresh from college was a sanctuary of artists, writers, liberals those who strove for success in the world of art and intellect; and those who had a new idea to give to the world. There our very best rebels de fied the most choice conventions of the post war age and promul gated new plans to enhance civil ization. There, new and differ ent art and literature —modern- istic, cubist, impressionistic were conceived and sometimes hatched. Originally the first embryo stu dents and artists who came to the Village were atracted by the low rents in the section. Gradually it became known as a haven for the intellectuals. Men with long hair, Windsor ties and corduroy jackets, women in smocks and short hair (which was very dar ing in those days) frequented cellar speakeasies and fired with cheap Italian red wine, argued in cessantly into the night. The Village had its share of the lunatic fringe. Many of these lived on the tourist who was then starting to come to the Vil lage to see the "goin's on."

The Duke Ambassadors furnished music. Membership in Scabbard and Blade is one of the highest honors that a senior in military can attain. Only 20 senior cadets are added to its rolls each year. Sponsors for the dance (pictured here) and their escorts are: Miss Hilda Gae Renegar of Elkin (top left) with Cadet Major J. R. Kurcham of Elkin; Miss Mary Ellen Harrison of Asheville (top center) with Cadet Captain E. P. Fleming, Jr., of Asheville; Miss Mary Lilly Cromartie of Raleigh (top right) with Cadet Lieutenant Colonel C. S. Jones of Belhaven; Miss Jane Womble of Raleigh (lower left) with Cadet Leiutenant Colonel J. A. Worrell of Rich Square; and Miss Mary Yorke Neal of Raleigh with Cadet J. L Murray of Newton. The ball is one of the most colorful events on the crowded social calendar at State College. a rope and others equally unique who added color and atmosphere. There is no doubt that the Vil lage today Is changed in many THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA aspects. Parts of the section have gone commercial—but there are still little hideaways that the tourists have not found and where remnants of the cogno scenti gather. Aside from the physical aspect, there are many that will contend the spirit that was—or is—Green wich Village continues. They will argue that the idea that was Greenwich Village continues partly on the same stamping grounds—partly in the portion of Hollywood that the intellectuals now occupy—and partly in the minds of the liberals all over the world, whether they be on the battlefields of Spain or back in a Kansas school house after 'Man hattan turned a cold shoulder on their art. Idol Chatter Stories about film stars getting married, insists Ben Bernie, should end with commas. CHATTER: Observed Max i e Rosenbloom, the fighting motion picture actor, coming out of Radio City ... He kept walking right into a driving rain without either coat or hat . . . Maybe he thought he was still in Holly wood . . . They say the French for "Jitterbug" is "Insecte de jazz" ... In the recent Czecho slovakian crisis, European Corre spondent Edward Murrow was greeted on his return to his Lon don home by his maid who said, "The meats were delivered, Mr. Murrow, the tailor brought your suit back and—oh, yes, here's your gas mask" . . . And while we're on the subject of Europe, your correspondent begs to in dulge in a bit of back-patting by reminding you that it was in this column that you read that there would be no general European war—at least not yet . . . But you can paste this on your wall — Wall Streeters confidently expect another world holocaust within 18 months, or just about long enough for England to get armed. Needed Invention "I've an invention at last that will mean a fortune!" "What is it this time?" "Why, it's an extra key for a typewriter. When you don't know how to spell a word, you hit that key and it makes a blur that might be an 'e' an 'a,' or most anything else." LET - ill For the Holidays!
