The nation’s smaller towns are acquiring a big-city appearance by brightening up their main thoroughfares witn new street lights. Representatives of The Nation al Street and Traffic Safety Lighting Bureau, traveling the country’s highways, report a 25 per cent increase in night activi ties in towns with newly-lighted main streets. More people are shopping at night and evening attendance at churches, club meetings, theaters and sports events is at a new high. Many towns report their stores open every evening and many out-of-towners taking advantage of evening recreational and other facilities. More tourists are reported stopping overnight. Officials of these “new look" towns say they relighted their main streets to curb night acci dents and crime and have been greatly surprised at the in creased evening business, civic pride and community activities which have followed the relight ing.

Sharp, Chairman, Creative Writing Group l’ER ASPERA I call to mind the child I used to be And smile as I remember how she thought Earth’s lovely things, like Venus from the sea, Spring full-bloom into being, beauty-fraught. This sculptured gem let fall her cloak of rlay; This music’s perfect notes stood al ways so; That painting flowed from brusi as warmth from day, This petal-fingered baby flew be low On angel-wings . . . Life pays not thus her debt! Perfection is distilled from pain and tears As gold through fire. And better so. But yet A sense of disenchantment perse veres, As if, half-burning at the sound of wings, I saw but Daedalus with wax and strings. Irena Williams. (Mrs. John Payne Williams) This poem appeared some time ago in the New York Times. Mrs. Williams commented, “The theme is that no matter how effortless great accomplishments seem to be, in their simplicity and perfection, such a result is never achieved without tremendous work some where—or everywhere—along the line. “The title is the first half of the ancient adage: ‘Through difficul ties to the stars.’ (‘Per aspera ad astea’) which is the first Latin phrase any child who studied at the now-extinct Montreat public school learned before he was ten years old—and it is inscribed in the wrought—iron work of the old dou-, ble desks.” This is one of the poems that we should memorize. We should have our children memorize it. In this period of airplanes, our chil dren should be told about Daedalus and his attempts to fly, and of his son, Icarus. Re-read the Mytholo gy of Greece. We are, indeed, grateful to you, Mr. Williams, for this encourage ment, poetically rendered, for your vivid word-pictures, and for your reference to Grecian mythology. We learned “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again,’’ and later “As astra per aspera.” Now, we shall learn your exquisite poem. Anne Kendrick Sharp, Chr. Poet’s Corner, Creative Writing Club.

Vicars Corner The Rev. W. Scott Root. Sunday night it was my pleasure to rub elbows, figuratively and lit erally with the Methodists. Fig uratively in that I spoke to the young people about parental auth ority and attended a party with the young adults; and literally in that 1 bobbed apples from the same tub with the Rev. Thad MccDonald. We both got our hair wet—what little hair he has left! The young adults were antici pating Halloween by six days (1 won a necktie for placing the most dried beans in a pan oh my head with a knife—in this I also bested Thad; his pan kept slipping off— what will I do with a necktie?). 1 he anticipation of Halloween brings me to my point. Since the earliest observance of Feast Days in ancient Israel, it has always been the custom in the church to start the observance on the eve be fore the Feast. Thus the church appoints certain lessons from the Bible to be read at Evening Pray er the night before Christmas, or Easter, or Pentecost. Halloween is the eve before All Saints day, the day on which the Church honors her saints, known and unknown. The saints are those of whom our Lord spoke in the Sermon on the Mount when He taught the Beati tudes. And the saints are spoken of in the seventh chapter of Rev elation: “These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.” The known saints, those recognized by the Church, are the Apostles, Evangelists, and Martyrs of the Early Church. But on All Saints day we are reminded that we are all call«d to be saints. Every Christian is a potential saint by the grace that is given us through Jesus Christ. Let our prayer on All Saints day be this: “O Almighty God, who hast knit togeth*- thine elect in one com MRS. ALESHIRE LEADS STUDY FOR CIRCLE I Tuesday morning, Oct. 20, circle no. 1 of the Methodist church met at the home of Mrs. Stanley Gar land for its regular monthly meet ing.

Wright, Mrs. Gor don Greenwood, and the new mem bers, Mrs. Charles Fortune, Mrs. W. B. Pollard, Mrs. J. W. Berg thold, and Mrs. John E. Benedict. I ‘ munion and fellowship, in the mys tical body of thy Son Christ our Lord; Grant us grace so to follow thy blessed Saints in all virtuous and godly living, that we may come to those unspeakable Joys which thou hast prepared for those who unfeignedly love thee; through the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord.” REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF Sivannanoa Batik & Trust Co.
