There are thirty-two young people of col- lege age in this musical organiza- tion Physical fitness is a rigid requirement, being obtained through intense exercise. Highest professional training is given Westminster Choir by its brilliant conductor. Dr. John Pinley Will- iamson. He has created an or- chestra of human voices and to- day is rated internationally as one of the foremost authorities on choral singing.
Many of the mils at this college are acquainted with members of chorus are lcjking forward with keen interest to welcoming them as well as their associates to the campus for so outstanding a mu- sical event. This community is represented in the chorus person- nel by George Walker, son of the present Dean Walker of Hamp- den-Sydney.
Among the selections included on the program are "Ave Maria". •Tear". "Old Black Joe". Water Boy", a negro spiritual, and Je- rome Kern's "Old Man River."

Local Pi (Jamma Mu Chapter Wins National Honor
Virginia Gamma Chapter of Pi Gamma Mu. National social science society at Farmville has been notified that its series of programs for 1936-37 was the best from among all the under grad- uate chapters of the organization in the United States.
Chapters of Pi Gamma Mu are divided into graduate and under- graduate groups. For Farmville's chapter to receive such a high rating among all of the under- graduate schools is indeed an hon- or. The chapter receiving equal mention was that of the Univer- sity of Toledo, which was singled out for its excellence among the chapters of the graduate groups.
The winning programs were built around topics of current, general .and social interest. Vir- ginia Gamma presented the rep- resentation of a national arma- ment conference.
Different girls represented the varoius countries and attempted to answer the vital facts before the nations today.
Pi Gamma Mu. which was es- tablished to recognize those stu- dents who have shown outstand- ing ability and interest in Social Science, and tries to instill in their minds a scientific attitude toward all social questions, is one of the two active chapters that continue their work throughout all 19 months of the year.
Virginia Acworth, who grad- uated last June, was program chairman of the winning project.

Miller Brand's Novel "Outward Room" Is Rated Among Best
Reading rood books is one of the most inexpensive and yet one of the most pleasurable pastimes that we have today. In our library- there are many books that would be well worth our while to read
One of the most unusual books of the season is Miller Brand's Outward Room." The story tells
of Harriet Demuth's struggle to escape the haunting despair of her own making and to find happi- ness. Opening in a hospital for the insane, the plot develops quickly and smoothly. Harriet, believing that she can find happiness in the outside world, runs away and goes to New York. Here she gets work and makes many friends. Her love for John Kohler finally Hits lit"' out of despair and brings her that most desired of all things—happi- ness.
Miller Brand is a new author and he Is young. This, his first book, is receiving many favorable comments from critics every- where. The New York Times gave it a write up that would be the envy of more experienced authors.
"The most peculiar book I ever read. Definitely! But it held me to the end." said one of our ,;tu- dents.
"The strangest book I've read of the local group. And they are in a long itme. but most fascin- the local groups composing the ating, was the comment made by
Y.W.C.A. Explains Its Purpose And Seeks Cooperation
When we become members of the Young Women's Christian As- soication, we promise certain things to ourselves and to those about us. It is in declaring our purpose that we set ourselves for- ward as volunteers to make the world more livable for others. "We. the members of the Young Wo- men's Christian Association of the State Teachers College, Farm- ville, Virginia, unite in the desire to realize full and creative life through p. growing knowledge of God. and to have a part in mak- ing this life possible for all peo- ple. In this task we seek to un- derstand Jesus and follow Him."
Every day the question is asked all around us. "What is the pur- pose of the Y. W.?" To all ap- pearances, people seek to find the answer to be material, whereas, its true spiritual meaning and depth explain themselves in the form of the oath which we take. In a national association like the Y. W. C. A., which has set its ideals and aims so high, it is the individual's very thoughts and ac-
national association which repre- sent a great part of the youth of the world today. We are shoulder- ing a large responsibility. Much of the future depends upon the way in which we interpret our purpose—the way we carry it out. Let each of us. then, accept eag- erly the responsibility of helping our Y. W. C. A. realize Its aim.
The deed forgotten, the wrong tions wnich determine the success undone.
Lo, in the Past, where the dark is risen.
Shines the rim of the rising sun.
Healing is here! O brother, sing it!
Laugh, O heart, that has grieved so long.
Love will gather your woe and fling It
Over the world in wanes of song.
Hearken, mothers, and hear them coming—
Heralds crying the day at hand Faint and far as the sound of
drumming, Hear their summons across the
land. Look. O fathers! Your eyes were
holden— Armies throng where the dead
have lain. Fiery steeds and chariots golden-
Gone is the dream of soldiers slain.
Sing. O sing of a new world wak- ing,
Sing of creating just begun. Glad is the earth when morn is
breaking— Man is facing the rising sun!

GLEANINGS By
Virginia L. Agee
How long lias it been since the first strain of "Balancing the Budget" tickled our ear drums? Everyone must admit that the tune has begun to be somewhat frayed around the edges. However, in spite of its apparent wearing, the budget is no nearer the white line which means balanced than the earth on which we live is to the moon, the sun, or any other heanvenly body.
When the Roosevelt Administration be- gan its ove--si/ed task six years ago—the budget, although not as properly balanced as it should have been, was in comparative- ly good shape (that is. in good shape com- pared to the state it is in now). And then came the spending regime, when huge sums were appropriated lor different projects bearing various sundry letters of the al- phabet that money has continued to flow f'-om the hands of the tax payers, through the hands aof the government, and into the Kinds of those who are being aided by the Alhpabetic Administration.
Upon re-election to the supreme office first speech—began the ditty we have heard so often, balance the budget. It has been to small task, we must admit that, but the

In speaking of the Alphabet Adminis- tration, do not think we are knocking it in all ways, but like everything else, it has its good and bad points. Several of the pro- jects are wonderful and uplifting—such as the CCC and some phases of the PWA.
The lives of many young men were lit- rally saved when the CCC came into ex- istence. It means a new start to some who 'tad given up all hope in the face of utt r cleat. Not only that, but it was the build-
ing up of the cry of "save the natural re- sources. The CCC has done much in beau- tifying our country and in the saving and CUlturing the timber growth.
As for the PWA it has aided in the building of bridges, many beautiful build- ings, schools and roads. In some parts of the country it has worked miracles. In oth- er sections it is the laughing stock and also

In China the shameful, bloody war still rages. Japan announces that if this war continues she will be in dire need of men and funds; China, too, needs money but we know she has the men—we hope that will be her winning point.
While each country is intent on bombing each other from the air—raiding, pillaging, plundering—wrecking Chinese territory completely, those innocents from the en- tire area are wandering around—lost from relatives, cold, hungry, terrified.
For this reason the China Travel Serv- I.. set ii)) a "human lost and found depart- ment" to help countless thousands of ref- ugees find the relatives from whom they have been separated by the war. Thousands of Chinese have registered their names and addresses and the names and last known addresses of then* missing relatives. Long lines of these iinl'.ntunates await patient- ly day and night outside the branches of the agency for the hope of news.
It is this side of wars that we do not think of very often—this is the truly hu- man side—the side not advertised nor glor- ified!

The biggest sports news of the past week was the Braddock- Farr fight. British Tommy Fair sirms to have an evil Genius or a jinx. In both the match with Braddock and the previous one with Louis. Farr lost by a close decision. Those who listened to the Farr-Louis match was sure Farr had won. In the Braddock- Farr bout the decision was so close that the judges were divided. Braddock is a natural favorite because of the fact that he was down and out. made a stratling comeback, was ousted and seems i since his decision over Tommy Farr > to be well on the way to the top again. Public sympathy always goes to a game fighter. There has been talk of a return Braddock-Farr bout and Brad- dock has also been offered anoth- er fight with Maxie Baer from whom he won the championship in 1935. Braddock has put off giv- ing his answer until he can con- sult his wife. Whether Braddock fights Baer or Farr it is most prob- able that if he wins he will be given another crack at the Brown Bomber.

Unlike baseball, ice hockey is one of the lowest scoring games there is. When the Montreal Ma- roons beat the Montreal Canad- ians, last week, eleven to seven, hockey experts rustled back through the record books, discov- ered that the total score of eigh- teen points was the major leag- ue's highest. Previous high was an eight to eight tie.
High scores for the current ma- jor league professional hockey season are the Boston Bruins with a total of thirty-two points in twenty-three games. Low scorers are the world champion Detroit Red Wings, with a total of thir- teen points in twenty-five games— an average of a little over a point a week.

The mode of pay—to stimu- late competition and quell sus- picion of collusion after they fin- ished all even last year—is a bo- nus for each victory iin addition to salary and a bonus for the greatest number of victories at the end of the seventy-five match season. To the victor goes a pos- sible thirty thousand dollar tour with Donald Budge next year if Mr. Budge turns professional.

Freshman basketball opened its season last Thursday in the Col- lege gymnasium with a crushing victory of 36-2 over Rice High School. The visitors played hard in spite of the handicap of a light team.
Freshmen displayed skill and precision as they sank goal after goal. The guards were successful in holding Rice to one field goal which was made in the last quar- ter.
The substitutes entering the last half played an exceptional game, continuing to pile up the score to sweep the team on to victory.
No one girl was accountable for the large score, although there were several brilliant performan- ces during the game. The Fresh- men played with perfect team- work which had been built up in the grinding practices day after day through the fall.
Again on Monday, the oppon- ents, Farmville High School, suf- fered at the hands of the Fresh- men who were victorious with a score of 48-12. The passwork of the winning team was particular- ly outstanding.
Freshman basketeers who play- ed in the two games are: N. Hub- bard >Capt.), E. Hillsman, V. Crute, R. Courter, M. Grainger. J. Smith. M. Edmondson. L. Ewell, and A. Altomare.

Twenty-seven Amelia High Sehool Girls Organize Club
This year the librarian of the Amelia High School library has been visiting throughout the coun- ty with the endeavor to extend library service into the various praded schools. Since the new teaching methods based on the use of varied materials have supplant- ed the old type of teaching, in- volving the use of only a few text- books, circulation of material is the most necessary in the schools.
Through these visits the libra- rian has found that in every in- stance there is at least the begin- ning of a good library collection. Some schools have been more for- tunate than others in securing funds with which to purchase new books. However, every teacher has adopted as one of her aims for this year that of adding to her li- brary a group of worthwhile books that will enable her teaching to be more vital and more appealing to her pupils.
The book collections, so far, have been prepared for circulation by putting into effect the same system that is used in the Amelia library. Since the teaching duties of the one-room teacher are in many casse so heavy, a pupil li- bra has been appointed to take charge of this work. Also, the teachers throughout the county are bringing their worn copies to the Amelia library for repair and mending.
Future Teachers Organize Twenty-seven pupils at the
Amelia High school who expect to become tMOlMMi recently got together and organized a club. They named this club the Stu- dent Teachers' Club

Geoffrey Household's The Third Hour offers a particularly enticing combination: vivid characters.1
striking situations, and unusual ideas. In this international novel, the author has attempted through his characters, drawn from seve- ral nationalities, to show that men and women everywhere are fun- damentally the same. Mr. House- hold has kept before him the rea- lization that human nature is lit- tle affected by country. Whatever happens in the story happens to a living personality.
But Mr. Household hasn't once attempted to "preach". Perhaps that is one of the most charming its hospitality to collect- stu- things about his book. It offers a i , . . basic idea, the solution of which ("'1"''- the reader himself may decide. The style of writing which the ,. , .. . ... author uses is excellent, and those X alentine candy on display who appreciate good fiction will undoubtedly like It.
The Moon Is Making is a story of deefct. The principle charac- ters, with one exception, are ava- ricious and domineering. Miss Jameson's use of the omniscient point of view is perhaps overdone. She tells too much about her characters, instead of letting us see for ourselves.
Other new books well worth your reading are Farson's Trans- gressor in The Tropics, Lewis' Prodigal Parents. Martellis' Italy Against the World, and Jarrett's The Silver String.
