Mrs. Bernice Kelly Harris, Sea-
board, Eastern Carolina's novelist
and playwright who has received
much recognition during the past
year, last week delighted an audience
of Greenville club women by her sim-
ple discussion of her use of raw ma-
terials in her writing. Mrs. Harris
spoke at the Woman's Club under
the auspices of the Greenville Branch
of the American Association of Uni-
versity Women.
Mrs. Harris was introduced by
Miss Mamie E. Jenkins of the Eng-
lish faculty of East Carolina Teach-
ers College, who had been presented
by Miss Louise Williams of the col-
lege mathematics faculty, also presi-
dent of the local A.A.U.W.
Mrs. Harris said, "I feel that uni-
versity women groups and book clubs
are friends, not just audiences
Then addressing herself to the peo-
ple before her with just a general
college background, and no specific
training in craftsmanship, but a de-
sire to write, she told them to go
ahead with their attempt. "Folk
Plays of Eastern North Carolina"
and "Purslane" were written by a
clubwoman with just such a back-
ground and training. "For the writer
there is in North Carolina a wealth
of material said the speaker.
Wherever the sky bends over people,
the writer can find material. Mrs.
Harris obtained many of her ideas
from the life in her own community
for a number of her plays.
Mrs. Harris was the guest of Miss
Louise Williams, A.A.U.W. presi-
dent, Miss Emma Hooper, and Miss
Louis Grigsby at dinner in their
apartment on Summit Street.

H hat Does the Future Hold for You?
With summer ahead many students arc looking forward to relaxa-
tion and others are laying plans for continued study. Summer is
an ideal time for hothjmt instead of finding time for cither, many
members of the student body, particularly the boys, arc liable to
find themselves shouldering guns in the inevitable showdown for
supremacy of the Democracies over the dictatorial nations.
Recent European developments have eliminated the question:
"Will the United States enter the war?" and raised another, "How
bug will she be able to remain out of the war?" It is true that a
S,0O0 mile pond separates the Tnited States from the prevailing
turmoil on foreign shores, but the fight is nearer home than one is
inclined to realize. Foreign trade between this country and others
is at stake. Curbing foreign trade would cause the United States to
face a grave economic situation. If the country guided by mob
psychology under a crazy, territory-loving maniac, who calls him-
self Adolph Hitler, is victorious there is going to be a serious shake-
up in the world.

After having erushed the valiant defense of Holland, the powerful
German flank attack north of the Maginot line is steadily and success-
fully pounding its way westward to complete the conquest of Belgium,
while farther south it is sweeping down the Meuse Valley towards Paris
and the vital system of railways connecting Paris with the channel ports.
Allied counter attacks have repeatedly heen dispersed and thrown hack by
this unwielding German salient of tanks, armored ears, and mechanized
siege artillery. It seems that Hitler's Blitzkrieg strategy cannot he halted
by the present apparently outmoded strategy and loosely organized defense
of the Allies.
Of the many departures from old methods and ideas brought about by
tliis war. one concept of modern war has already been definitely established.
That is that the offensive carries the advantage, whereas, heretofore, the

and women bearing its darkened burdens. Only time will tell what
the future holds for anv of us!
Today's Seniors Tomorrow's Teachers
When this year's seniors undertake the task of handling boys
and girls in classrooms throughout the state, they will find them-
selve confronted with many problems. In view of the fact that
development ol schools varies with views of taxpayers in supporting
schools, some of the seniors will find school plants they enter ideal,
while others will be undesirable. Making the best of the situation at
hand is a challenge for all seniors who follow the teaching field after
graduation. How well they do despite obstacles will determine to a
great extent their success.
Teachers of today are underpaid for their efforts in developing
the intellect and making better citizens of young boys and girls,
but previous sessions of General Assembly appear not to have
realized this. A well balanced state is a fine thing, but education
should not be neglected in balancing the scales. Teachers, like
anyone else, are confronted with the problem of making a living.
Their job is just as important as that of anyone else on a state pay
roll. What they are paid for their services is important, too.
The North Carolina Education Association is offering a fine
legislative program for teacher progress. As long as the teachers
of North Carolina stand on the sidelines and do not support those
things which will improve their financial status, then nothing is
going to be done about low salaries for teachers. Any senior will do
wise to affiliate thimself with the organization of state teachers and
assist in fostering its objectives. Everything worthwhile that is
accomplished today is done with a fight. The fight is yours, seniors.
And the severity of this battle will determine whether you are aided
in overcoming financial setbacks.
Something About Polieies for 1940-41
This Teco Echo will in 15)40-41 strive to go forward and pro
mote any transition that will tend to give impetus to the projrressiyc-
uess of both the newspaper and the school. No thinker gives a hurried
answer when a problem arises that deserves consideration. That's
why we are not undertaking to say we favor this and disapprove
that before the problems arise. If we knew all the problems we arc
going to face in the coming year perhaps we could offer something
more definite. After all. something that might look favorable on the
surface could be deemed unfavorable when investigated. When
school problems arise thev will be given careful consideration. We
are a progressive newspaper in a progressive educational institu-
tion. We shall strive to promote all things that will foster progres-
siveness among members of the student body and fire a volley against
those things which tend to hinder instead of help the development

of coal from which chemists have heen able to turn out considerable
quantities of aviation gasoline and other oil products. She is also rich in
cellulose, another vital substance in the waging of modern war.
The Allies mav be able to revamp their strategy and deliver unre-
lenting counter strokes at the enemy, but if the retreat is to continue,
the only hope for stabilization of the Western front lies with the ability
of aircraft to attack the enemy in the rear, thereby disrupting com-
munications and disorganizing their reserve and services of supplies.
This can be accomplished against German aerial supremacy only by the
cleverest of tactics. Then there is the constant threat that Germany will
launch aerial operations against the British isles from her newly ac-
quired bases in Holland. This would undoubtedly materialize with stabili-
zation of the Western front.
The possibility of aid by Italy in a second flank attack through Switz-
erland and southern France increases the writer's already pessimistic
view on the ability of the Allies to win unaided by the world's greatest
democracy. . . .

Mow Staff Assumes its Responsibilities
In a newspaper office, as in any other profession, there are those
who rise from the ranks and assume the responsibilities of their pred-
ecessors. Even though the new editors and business managers will
handle more advanced duties during the ensuing school year by
virtue of having risen from the ranks, they will not be experiencing
an era of drastic changes, but will merely carry on where others
have left off.
Since most of this year's staff are being lost through graduation,
and others have been elevated to positions of executive leadership
on other campus publications, The Teco Echo in 1940-41 will
be edited by much new material. The staff will not be new in a sense
of experience, but in the sense of working on the staff of a college
publication. Each member of the staff is eager to lend a helping
hand in producing a good- student newspaper, and his colleagues in
the editorial department have accepted this offer.
While retracing this year's activities we cannot overlook the
diligent efforts of those whom we have succeeded. Their endeavors
will be a star for the new staff to shoot at. The new year will provide
an outlet for new members to learn new things in the matter of
editing a newspaper, and they will be able to echo their learning
through the quality of the work they produce.

They aren't really twins, but they
have been chums as inseparable as
twins practically all their lives.
The first pair of these bosom pals
is Marian Allen and Alice Bragg,
who have roomed together in Room
133, Jarvis Hall, since they first en-
tered ECTC as freshmen in the fall
of 1936. The two found each other
when they were in the fifth grade
and have been separated for only a
few short intervals since that time.
They graduated together from Wil-
ton High School in Granville County
in the spring of 1936. The follow-
ing fall both enrolled as grammar
grade majors at ECTC. From the
first registration they insisted upon
identical class schedules. Sometimes
they wire placed in different sec-
tions, and were obliged to use a lit-
tle diplomacy with the teachers in
order to get together, but somehow
jthey have always managed.
Both girls became members of the
Emerson Literary Society. They
also served in the Methodist Stu-
dent Cabinet. They did their prac-
tice teaching at the same time, but in
different grades.
