 When you make over garment. make a few preliminary prepara- tions before you start your dress making. First, be sure that the garment is absolutely clean. Rip the seams carefully if material is scarce so that you won't lose even a quarter of an inch by careless cutting.
 Every piece should be pressed flat 50 that you will have no trou- bbs in pinning the pattern to the very edge of the material. Of course, you'll have to use your in- genuity in placing the pattern on the material.

Pert Paragraphs
ny j. II. COATES

Great debates are in progress
today throughout the nation as
to what system of education
should be adopted under the ext
gency of this gargantian globial
gemini Of conflicting opinions. One
school of philosophy holds that
Mars the God of war and destruc-
ton should dictate the course of
instruction of the youth of today.
Their reason Is that the Axis have
used that course by compulsion for
a half century, and that we must
fight fire with fire! They say that
even the schools which shape the
destiny of the nation, and that
the fireside must teach hate, des-
truction, dog-eat- dog to the tender
minded youth, if Our side' is to
win. Well win what?
The other school Of philosophy
contends that now as never be-
fore, the youth must be taught the
Fatherhood of God, and the Broth
erhood Of man, and that We must
loom forwar dto a peace void of hate
Of minority and less fortunate
groups.
This philosophy says that there
must be inStilled in the hearts of
youth that all men, even Negroes,
are created equal and that as you
would that men do unto you, do
Yea even So to them: and that
the Golden Rule laid down by
the worlds greatest general, Gen
eral Jesus, is our only sure and
lasting defense! This latter philo-
Sophy teaches that even if we build
up a nation of haters, murderers,
destroyers and DULLES, and lick
the Axis, what will We have? Won't
we have big national Franklin
stein who will then destroy him.
self and everybody else? Power
in any mans or nations hands is
very dangerous, unless God guides
them. So, these two PHILOSOPHERS
are worthy of investigation, but as
for my part believe in the lat
ter.
The Security Life Insurance Com
pany is sponsoring a student essay
contest which has as its detectives:
to increase interest of the student
in English and Composition and at
the same time let them investi-
gate business. We believe that
education, after all, is that which
teaches how to live, and, how to
make a living. If one does not
have those two, then, he is not
educated. He must know, appre-
clate and do, the worthwhile things
OF life. Let Security Life both pro-
tect and employ you.
