Instead of red berries on boughs of holly, those abroad will be greeted by splotches of crimson from the wound of a soldier fallen in the battle. Instead of beautiful Christmas carols, the nerve-racking roar of cannon fire pounds against their ear drums. Instead of fervent prayers to God, they must worship a maniac disguised as a human being who calls himself Adolph Hitler. Instead of spend- ing Christmas together, mother and child must hover in a bomb shelter while father stubbornly resists the onslaught of the enemy on the field of battle or in the air. Ring out sweet bells of Christmas. You are music to people of the United States. Intoxication On The Floor At Dances The fact that some of the boy friends of girls at East Caro- lina Teachers College saturated their tonsils with intoxicating beverages has been in evidence at the last two dances. who did this did not get out of control to the extent they had to be ushered from the dance floor and saved themselves and their girl friends some embarassment. compelled to take action unless the condition is eradicated. Irre- spective of the love element that may be involved, a girl should not invite a boy to a dance if he is going to need whiskey to stimu- late his dancing muscles before going on the floor. Any boy who no more respect for a girl than to drink before going to a col- > dance, where all practices of a gentleman should prevail, likely will cause her both embarrassment and regret later in life. If you have such a boy friend, girls, the most logical procedure is to ditch him. If this is none of our business, then let him con- tinue drinking and subject both of you to embarrassment in the future.

The colonies they formed were found- upon the pattern of life revealed in the scriptures. For de- the chief interests of our colonial fathers was to build a on upon the word of God. All but one of the ten colleges , founded before the Revolution that have survived this day— vard, William and Mary, Yale, Princeton, Washington and Columt Brown, Rutgers, and Dartmouth, began with -s of theologians whose m purpose was to give ade- ning to ministers of the Gospel. Behind this emphasis in the new nation lay a century of the all but universal employ- ment of The New yland Primer in the elementary schools Maine to Georg Almost wholly a paraphrase of the , ibs ed as the basis for the study of spelling, reading, writing, as well as religion. Somebody has said that morally we are still running on the momentum of those old Biblezconscious days, but the movement is rapidly running down. Sponsored by the American Bible Society, which is about to celebrate its 125th anniversary, the churches of the nation will celebrate Universal Bible Sunday again on December 8. The occasion offers the best chance in many years to step up the momentum of interest in the Bible. Wel} heartily join in, for we believe that more of the Ten Command- ments and the Sermon on the Mount, as well as some of the solemn warnings of the prophets, without which our nation would have crumbled long ago, are badly needed now. How long has it been since you have read your Bible seriously? Get it down on De- cember 8 and help make our beloved land a Bible-reading nation again. We're Not Cloaking Anything Some comment has arisen about letters in the Student Opin- ion column being signed with an anonimous name and leaving the reader in doubt as to the author. The editorial department of the Teco Echo knows the author of each article that appears in the Student Opinion column and you are at liberty to avail your- self to his or her identity. Frankly, we don’t see that it makes much difference whether or not letters to the editor bear the signature of the writer when they appear in the paper, except that the identity of the author helps one to evaluate what is said in the letter. There are many persons who have good ideas, but are modest about expressing them. Naturally when this per- son has a letter appearing in the Student Opinion column he is going to be reluctant to have his name attached when it appears in the paper, even though the name accompanied the article. There are others who say what they think and don’t mind telling the world about it. We want students to use the column. And when you submit a letter sign your name and specify whether the name will appear with it in print. This will help us in pleasing those who are more interested in “who said what” than “what is said.” The boys | Members of the council will be | Watching The World William Harris (Ve Ce CeCe em teem aemtineetieetie tee ay The purpose for which the British Navy was built is being achieved as the recently reinforced Mediterranean fleet steadily tightens its blockade of Italy’s outlying possessions and seriously menaces Fascist supply lines to Africa. | It has been pointed out in naval circles that the Italian force recently engaged by British Warships and planes off the coast of |Sardinia was protecting the vital communication route to North | Africa with the hope of keeping beyond the range of British naval | units, and in failing to do that the effectiveness of the Italian fleet |was reduced until it has only one battleship and possibly only two heavy cruisers to protect oversea lines of supply.
