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. 1936 Freshmen Being Graduated With Fine Record Britton Headed Class All Four Years ?n in been occasion.

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. IimiiiiniiimniiiiimwmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmimmummHmmmmmmmmmmm?iiiiniiiiiimini?mrmHM? 1 Watching The World niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiimiimiiii by William Harris (IIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'III1"111 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.

Entering the war will result in young men 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 East Carolina Teachers College. merely resisting and retiring in order to hum out the German machine by the time it reaches a strongly organized line of defense. But against the striking power of the German attack this probahly will prove to he as outmoded as their poliey of ehoking and waiting for an economic victory that has heen almost completely disrupted hy Hitler's seemingly des- perate hid for quick victory in the field. The known lack of oil in Ger- many is generally agreed to be the cause of this desperate assault, hut even without oil Germany can fight a commendable war. She has plenty 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. . . . cienee and home economics ma ? r, .burdens of college activity to interfere withi her en "newly starched" look than dresses Iigioas Meals .She was this year s president o3 thelSd in cotton polka dot.

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.
