Radiant Living
EXTENDED
HORIZON
By Rev. C. M. Griffeth
Pastor Ridgely M. E. Church
Ridgely, Md.

In his lecture on Nature, En-
erson says: THE tradesman, the
attorney comes out of the din and
chaft of the street and sees the sky
and the woods, and is man again
In their eternal calm, he finds him
self. The health of the eye seems
to demand a horizon. We are new
er tired, so long as we can see far
enough"
Since the health Of the eye seems
to demand horizon, distant
enough to exercise its long dis
tance focusing, does not the health
of the soul also demand a far dis
tant horizon toward which to look
in confident faith and glorious ex-
pectation?
That life is indeed cramped
which is bounded by the narrowing
horizon of materialism, whose vi
sion is DETECTED to the selfish gain
ing of money, or the enjoyment of
sensuous pleasure.
In such a life the eye does not
find room extensive enough to ex-
ercise itself in all its powers. And
in being unused, becomes weak, and
loses its power of sustained distant
vision.
1t is the Christ, however, by His
unself1sh life and by His vision CIV
ing ministry who has extended
mans horizon beyond materialistic
selfishness so that it takes in the
needs and the rights of ones fellow
man
The Christ extended horizon
takes in more than this life even.
Christ has pushed mans horizon
back far enough to bring into that
long distant view the glories of a
life that shall have no end.
Are you growing tired of the
humdrum of life? Does life seem
to be loosing all the joy which it
once had for you? If so, the
trouble lies in a cramped vision.
1t is because you can not see far
enough.
Get out where you can stretch
your vision to that Christ extended
horizon and catch vision of those
spiritual realities that make life
RADIANT

A Scholarship Fund Instead of a
Trip to Washington

It has oeen suggested by several
Juniors that the money raised each
year for a trip to Washington be
put into scholarship fund for de-
serving students. This money
would finance the student the first
year at the University Of Della
ware.
Each year the Seniors spend be-
tween $3.50 and $3.50 in taking
their trip. This is seemingly an
unnecessary expenditure because
Washington will always be there
and it is only a hundred miles
away. Of course the Seniors would
probably have more fun and would
be more willing to raise the neces-
sary funds if they went together.
For many of the Seniors it is more
than they can afford. They must
buy clothes and other things for
the trip and they also must pro-
vide at least five or ten dollars for
spending money.
If this money were placed in a
scholarship fund, much more could
be accomplished. 1t costs at least
$398.50 to send a boy to the Uni
versity of Delaware for one year
This includes the matriculation fee,
which is paid upon entrance only;
the cheapest rooms in Harter Hall;
library, gymnasium, and general
University fee; athletic fee; contin-
gent deposit; board, mail box, and
rent; and students activities fees.
Additional expenses include books,
military equipment, and Physical
Education equipm ent which
amounts to fifty or sixty dollars
more.
To send a girl to the University
of Delaware for one year the cost
is at least SS421.50 plus her books
and laboratory fees which amount
to about $50.
A competitive examination has
been suggested for students wish
ing to try for this scholarship. This
examination could be drawn up by
members of the faculty and the stu
dent receiving the highest mark
would get the scholarship. Another
suggestion for this is that only stu
dents intending to go to college
should be allowed to take the test.
If this scholarship fund were ex-
tablished and awarded every year,
at the end of four years four stu
dents, Senior, a Junior, a Sopho-
more, and a Freshman would be
getting a college education. In this
manner much more would be ac-

What Is Your Choice?

On January 10, q queSIlOnndlre
concerning interests for an activ-
ity program was given to the stu
dents. Each student was to indi-
cate his first and second choice of
the following activities:
Physical activities, dramatics
and radio, musical activities, Ian
guage, science and mathematics,
homemaking, popular mechanics,
business club, public speaking and
debating, hobbies, travel, photog-
raphy.
Each pupil must belong to a club
and the faculty will do its best to
give each one his first choice.
The activity period will start as
soon as organization of the clubs is
possible and will continue through
out the winter until intramural
games can be resumed.
Although our basketball team
dropped a hard-fought ball game to
Brown Vocational School the game
brought out fact of broad sig
nificance. Over half the people at
the game, held at Wilmington, were
from Smyrna.
Smyrna teams cannot say that
there is no school spirit or lack
of support when such large crowd
turns out for a game as far away
as that. Over a hundred people
made the trip to Wilmington in or
der to give the team support.
1t seems strange that school,
such as Brown, with almost an en-
tire student body of athletic mind
ed boys should have less spectators
there than Smyrna but that fact
shows that school spirit here is
rapidly rising.

CCIENCE has found a way to
= eliminate many of the diseases
and weaknesses in poultry stock
which have made the life of the
chicken raiser miserable and have,
in many cases, caused serious f1nan-
cial damage. Research and expert
ments in the field show that soft
shelled eggs, leg weakness, disease
and low egg production can often
be traced to deficiency of ultra
violet light or its equivalent. If a
material could be developed which
would bring these vitalizing rays
of the sun inside the laying houses
all winter long. when they are
needed most. 1t was thought
that important increases could be
achieved in egg production. and in
addition there would be a general
building of vigor.
What science developed was a
flexible, transparent plastic-coated
material with a wire mesh base.
This plastic transmits the biologi-
cally active ultraviolet rays of the
sun. These health-giving rays per
init the poultry stock to properly
utilize the calcium In their feed
and, as consequence. a general
improvement In the flock takes
place. The material also diffuSes
light and acts as an insulator.
When the scientists had perfect
ed the material, which they called
-CelO-Glass" plastic-coated wire
mesh, they took it to the field.
