 Our Lights Burn Brightly
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Johannes Heinrich Christofer Dau, a German author, in 1923 wrote a little book with the thesis that North America was destined to be the salvation of Europe. His idea was that Flu rope was overcroWded and that life that would become increas- ingly difficult. But here was a virgin continent hera there was enough land to provide food and to spare for all corners.
 That was not the original idea. But Herr Dau wrote of purely material things. He spoke of bread and meat, of clothing and of fuel-the prime necessities. That America might be the sal vation of Europe in a higher sense did not occur to him. He did not see that we here should be the repository and guardian of the high ideals of freedom for which mankind has toiled thru the ages. Now in Europe liberty has been ground under the heels of tyranny; that life, liberty, and the pursuit of individual happiness should be counted as things worth while is not consid- cred for a moment by the dictat ors. Men, in their view, are mere slaves of the state.
 Their ideas and ours are as far apart as the poles. Here the bea- con lights of freedom still bright ly burn. They shine across the Atlantic and their rays may yet illuminate the dark continent of Europe. Its lights are out. But they may be rekindled at our over-burning flame,

With only $40 miles still to go the Latin Americans claim they are building 500 miles a year and construction is being pushed in the United States and Canada. Although delayed by war prepar ations the promoters believe that the vast highway can be complet ed in perhaps five or six years.
 At present there is uninterrupt ed traffic over 4,3l2 miles of mod ern road between Hazleton, Can ada and Mexico City, and Pan- anna City is modernized. Only one-tourth of the 1900 miles from Caracas Venezuela, re- mains to be moderi0ed.

DArien Section Difficult

Most difficult part of the great highway however is still to be constructed. The dense Darien Indian country remained un- known to white men until last summer when a North Carolina school teacher named Tewksbury choppsd his way through it and found that the land was passable. The great interprise still needs the expenditure of a vast amount of capital and labor but as there are only 5,44O mile still totally unimproved, there is no doubt that the necessary money and machinery and labor will be ob- tained.

Suppressing Resentment
There is a new movement which
has for its aim: Aid For Worthy
Aliens.
The idea is to "patriate" worthy
aliens who are hindered by pre-
judice and war hysteria. This
movement plans to ID Conduct a
press-radio-newsreel campaign
to convince the general public;
(2) to make efforts to influence
employers to hire qualified aliens
and
60 To put pressure on labor un-
ions to cease discrimination a.
gainst them.
The purpose of such campaign
is to prevent many loyal aliens
from becoming embittered groups
of resentful people. We wonder
if the promoters of this campaign
realize that there are between ten
and thirteen million native born
American-Negroes, who need their
patriotic support? This is the
largest minority group in this
country and to have it become em-
bittered and resentful because of
discrimination would be destruct-

OUR SPIRITUALS
(by Myrtle M. Goodlow)

Our foreparents speak to US
In the only language they knew
For their advantages were few
Yet the blessed saints of old,
In each Spiritual has told
Their unwavering faith in God,
No matter how dark the way
Nor the story road they trod-
They never ceased to sing and
pray
And through eyes of faith could
see =
The joys throughout Eternity
That each bitter tear of sorrow
Would be a jewel tomorrow
In their golden crown.
When they laid their burdens
down.
They have long since reached
their goall
And for each beloved soul
Who left such treasures here
May we their songs revere.
Cherish each and every word
Whenever they are heard.

RALEIGH. N. c.. Oct. 15.-The
sophomore of the week in Southern
Conference football has got to be
triplets.
In fact. we're tempted to make
him quadruplets and, if pushed, we'd
give up and say he's quintuplets.
For, straight out of Sunday morn
/ ing headlines, come the names of
these novicSs who grabbed the spot
light from veterans:
Jackie Freeman. the 160-pound
William and Mary back from Wind
ber. Pa, who came close to being
a one-man team as the Indians de-
feated Virginia Tech, 16 to T. He
intercepted two passes which set up
a touchdown and field goal.
Stan Stasica, ITO pounds of scintil-
lating power. who threw the 38-
yard pass which saved South Caro-
lima from a 6-to-0 defeat by Wake
Forest. He's former sophomore of
the week-for his winning
touchdown against North Carolina
and he halls from Rockford. Ill, the
home town of his coach, Rex En-
right.
Cochran Saves DeaconS.
Red Cochran, 170-pound back
from Birmingham, Ala, who threw
the 25-yard pass which saved Wake
Forest from 6-to-0 defeat by South
Carolina. His passing and running
accounted directly for the 64-yard
march that ended in the score.
Andy Victor of Kingston. Pa, who
led The Citadel to a 2l-to-l3 victory
over Presbyterian. He was the best
running back on the field, scored
one of the touchdowns and kicked
all his teams extra points.
It's hard not to include two more
sophomores in this headline party
one a member of team which
looked good in winning, the other
a member of team which looked
good in losing.
Tom Davis of Wilson, brother OF
Dukes Jap Davis. was a sensation
in the Blue Devils 50-to-0 triumph
over Maryland. He scored three
touchdowns, ran nine times for 13O
yards. punted four times for an
average of 1877 yards.

ATLANTA, Oct. 15.-North Caro-
lina's Tar Heels, second only to
Duke as preseason favorites of the
Southern Conference, will head
southwark for New Orleans tomor-
row to try mending a shattered
season the hard way-against Tu-
lane.

by South Carolina and beaten by

of the best, despite last weeks up
set by Rice.

Tulane unquestionably has one

show them everything we've got.
and we'll be in there fighting all
the way"
At New Orleans, where 10000 are
expected to see the game, Coach
Red Dawson was doubtful of Tu-
lanes morale, adding he wouldn't t
know until Saturday whether his
team could come back from its
disappointment.
Our scouts who saw North Caro-
lima against Fordham said they
looked better than Rice did when
they saw them" he said. "Of
course. North Carolina should have
won the game last Saturday"
Tar Heels Lose Austin.
Barring a few bruises, Tulane
came out of the Rice game without
injuries, but North Carolina lost
the services of Joe Austin, the boy
who scored the Tar Heels winning
touchdown against Duke last fall
He dislocated his shoulder against
Fordham. In six games played thus
far, Tulane holds the edge in tri-
umphs-three to two-with one
game a 14-14 tie. Last year the
Green Wave won, 14-13.
