in. He was seated at the desk, be-

notebook in his hands. AS well as
though I had been with them, I
knew what they were doing. Scott
was giving an accurate report of the
search of Hill House.
Lancy greeted me with a cordial
glance and rallying smile.
Have you remembered some
thing else this early in the morn

I shook my head and smiled back
at him.
"Not for you. I left my rings on
the table last night and came tc
get them"
"All right. Go ahead, Scott"
Without a breath Of hesitation,
Scott picked up the thread Of the
report where he had dropped it, at

There was no need; his audience

team gave all comers, Carolina in

they should be even better as Juniors
In fact, Wake Forest is rated by
many as one of the strongest teams

Jim Woodson, Chuck Slagle, and
Leroy Abernathy, Jr, guards; George
StrinWeiss and Jim Lalanne, quar-

Several shifts are probable in the
line, due to the off-season loss of
Dan Desich, Walter Palanske, and
Jim Leaning, three leading guard
and tackle prospects, but none had

With the return of Kline, Mallory,

should be we'll fortified, at least for

faces a real problem replacing six

girls who were awarded a weeks
stay at the State Wildlife Camp at
Hoffman as the results of their
records and participation in the
Wildlife contest These girls are
Annie Mae Dickerson Of Bobbitt and
Lucille Gupton Of Townsville. The
encampment was held in a new
State-owned camp which was COM
pleted this spring. The buildings are
made of logs and are very attrac-
tive in appearance as we'll as sub,
stantial. The main building, con-
tanning the kitchen dnd cold stor-.
age room, has a tremendous mess
hall that is also used for a recrea-
ton hall. There is work shop
building devoted to handicrafts.
The sleeping quarters are composed
of six cottages for girls and six for
boys, each group being arranged in
a semi-circle around their bath
houses. Each cottage has comfort
able sleeping capacity for twelve
persons.
The program for the week in
cluded tours and instruction on
birds. soil conservation, fish, game
and forestry; handicrafts in leather,
copper, and bird boxes; swimming
in the morning and afternoon and
other recreational programs.
On the return trip from camp the
two Vance county girls, and three
Wake county club members stopped
leigh and broadcasted reports OF
the weeks encamDment.
The coming of September marks
the resuming of our monthly All
Club and Home Demonstration Club
meetings. All club members seem
to be looking forward with anticipa-
ton to these meetings of instruc-

has added an Assistant Home Agent
to its force of workers, we hope to
have two meetings instead of one
each month with each club. One of
these will be joint meeting of
boys and girls with well planned
programs including interesting and
educational team demonstrations
which the boys and girls themselves
will be trained to put on. The
other meeting will be devoted en-

The sun is a colossal storehouse
of energy. From every square foot
of its 585 billion square miles of
surface it sends out 1880 horse
power. A considerable amount of
this power is lost on its, journey
through space, but even so on a
clear day at noon the earth re-
ceives about 5000 horse power per
acre of radiant energy. Every "a

power that could be produced by

1t would be impossible to convert
all this solar energy for our use;
but even small part would be more
than sufficient to do all the work
we shall ever need. There is no
doubt that within the next ten
years motors and engines run by
means of solar radiation will be
sufficiently practicable for house
and factory use.

Biologists Are Puzzled
By Earth Slide In Idaho

PRESTON, IDAHO. - Biologists
were puzzled over the gigantic
earth slide that moved 1000, 900 tons
of earth and shifted 25-acre farm
pasture so feet into the Bear river.
A large icy-covered pond on the plot
of ground affected by the slide was
not disturbed. Not even a crack in
the ice showed Cattle grazing on
the sliding terrain scrambled to
safety as their pasture began to
move.

Founded Quaker Sect

George Fox was 10 when he felt
the call to preach which resulted in
his arrest for disturbing the peace
and his establishment of the Society
of Friends (Quakers). Priests,
lawyers and soldiers were all OBJ
noxious to him." says a biographer.
Consequently, every type of perse-
cution was practiced on the sect in
England and the American col
onies; for long time it was
worse crime to be a Quaker than
a thief. William Penn was jailed
because he was Quaker; this in
duced him to come to America.
Numbers of Quaker men were put
to death in Massachusetts; in New
Hampshire Quaker women were
stripped and whipped from one
town to another, for Quakers were
the first to acknowledge the equality
of men and women in religion and
allow women to preach.

Movies Supply Materials
For Real World Language

The patriot may object to calling
the American language English, and
not without justice; yet the diver
gence Of these two descendants of
a common ancestor, which has been
going on ever since this country
was settled, seems to be slowing
down. Not that our language is be-
coming Anglicized, but that the lam
guage of England is becoming
Americanized. To be sure the agen-
cy of that Americanization is the
movies, so perhaps the English are
not taking on the best of Ameri-
can vocabulary and diction, but of
the fact there can be no doubt, not
only in England but on the Cont
nent. In some of the smaller coun-
tries of Europe, as late as Is years
ago, most people who spoke Eng
lish Except returned immigrants,
of course) spoke it with something
approximating the accent of OK
ford; now they are more likely to
employ the accent, and the lam
guage, of Hollywood. Which means
that here for the first time, we
have the materials for a real world
language, which people in every
country can hear spoken, every
night, by those to whom it is the
native tongue.-New York Times.
