DR.. ERNA GUNTHER
CLOSES LECTURE SERIES

DR.. Erna. Gunther started her
career with a stage tour and
closed series of lectures with
banquet Friday night at the
Y. M. C. A.
Women today are taking
more active place in anthropolo-
gical circles, just as they are in
other professions, DR.. Gunther be-
lieves. When she first attended
a meeteing in anthropology in
1920, only two other women be-
sides herself were present. Now
she estimates about one-third of
the anthropologists in America
are women. She toured one sum-
mer through New England with
Mr.. and Mrs. Coburn and their
professional company, playing
Shakespeare. However, DR.. Gun
Their said she did not want to go
on the stage, but it runs in the
family, that one of her sons was
in dramaties at the University and
has taken part in several of the
Penthouse plays.
YalKimas Differ
With the reminder of her work
her whole face was suddenly
alight with enthusiasm. You
know, your Yakima Indians are
very different from the tribes on
the coast, where fishing is the
main occupation. Through travel
and association, the Yakimas
have taken on many of the char
acteristics of the plains peoples,
she explained.
The banquet Friday night was
well attended by both races. The
mayor, N. K. Buck, and Mrs. Buck
were present. DR.. Gunther had
a representative from each group

Thanks, chairman of the Social
Welfare who sponsored this series

DR.. Gunther had a program
planned. The evening group spoke
first. Mr.. Pratt spoke for the
committee. The subject was
what Is Racer" Mrs. Lolita Ell
lis was on this committee. and
hopes to work out the very fine
speech which was made.
The second was the High Schol,
Race and Civilization, by Har-
ry Dexter and another high school
boy. They defined the word Civ
ilization as "a continuous devel-
opment of the races and praised
the different races for their vari-
Gus contributions to a culturedr
people, and the last speaker
closed his address by saying if
we are prejudiced or have been
practicing prejudice let's stop it,
because it is worse than a disease
which can kill a human being
and the prejudice kills day by
day.
The third group to speak was
the Junior College. Miss Nose
was the first one to speak. She
said, Prejudice is an emotional
blind spot. How it Stars. Who
is involved? What might be done
about it. Much, not one mans
struggle. What is the price of
prejudice?" The college speak
ers covered all these questions,
brought out a very fine address
that the inadequate and expen-
sive schooling caused by running
separate schools and separate hos
pitfalls in the South cost much
more money than necessary. and
lives.
The fourth and last was the
afternoon group, which was rep
resented by Mrs. Dolores Watson,
Mrs. Hattie Barnes and Mr.. Ian
caster, who spoke for the group.
Subject, What can you and
do about prejudice? How old
are we in our point of view and
what you and l can do individual
ly. There is much We can do
about it,"

that we women, the whole
civilized world over, should stick
together and that we should take
a greater part in solving all those
problems which are worrying us
today. Hazel Brannon says in her
column that there is no laughter
among the Germans. Here I'd
like to add something. Please
don't misunderstood me now,
am not going to start feeling
sorry for us Germans, as know
that we deserve some of the
hardship we are in now. There
were big wars and few revolu-
tons during the last century,
partly caused by our geographic
cal situation in the midst OF
Europe, by overpopulation, by a
lot of political tensions not we
alone were responsible for. and
last not least-bv the fact that
military education was consider
ed quite an honour anu
achievement, an opinion which
inocculated since centuries.
Now I would like to mention
some problems we encounter day
for day. Often enough we hear
the question why it is so diff
cult for us to understand the
democratic way of life the Ameri-
cans are used to from their very
first day of life. Democracy can't

To The Editor OF The Durant
News and The Lexington Adver-
tiser,
Dear Sir,
You sure will be surprised to
get a letter from a German
woman. First of all, have to
tell you how I got your address.
| am working in some capacity
for the United States Occupation
Force, and so, accidentally, /
came in the possession of the
"Durant News" edition from
26 August 1948. On the front page
of this newspaper is a column
named Through Hazel Eyes" by
Hazel Brannon. I was very
pleased to observe that Miss
Brannon,S ed1tlonal showed lot
of understanding for our rather
difficult situation. Too often
have heard unfriendly remarks,
especially from American women
concerning the Germans, as +. i
how shabbily dressed they are, OF
that German women live just fol-
their households, have kids and
cooking on their minds, are hunt
ing for the American male, and
have no other interests whatso-
ever.
That's why thank Miss Bran
non very much, it was like {
light of hope in the darkness o.
hatred against us. I really think

then, a self-appointed "Leadero.
l think it takes plenty of time,
and it has to grow like a we'll
kept plant in fertile soil. Today
every German has to be concern
ed with his own urgent problems,
as to build himself some kind of
decent existence all of us lack.
We can see the big importance
of the new government we have
to build up for ourselves, but
there are many obstacles we have
to take Unfortunately, in the
average German there is still
some kind of hidden fear and I'M
certainty concerning our future.
We were cheated SO often by our
former governments that we can't
help the feeling that there is no
body we can turn to and that
in each friendly gesture we sus-
pect a bad intention. The pre-
sent political situation in Ger
many is certainly not apt to make
us feel any better. There is still
the big menace in the east, sus-
pended over our head like the
sword of Damocles. There are
many millions of Germans who
gave up their homesteads and
fled to the west panic-stricken by
inhumanity of the bolsheviks who
are not better than the Nazis at
their worst.
It takes a lot of understanding
to realize our present problems,
and that's why your report ap-
pealed so much to me. But we
won't lose our hope as long as
there are representatives OF the
Western Democracies assisting us
morally and economically IN
building democratic state and
safeguarding our lives and pro-
perty against the new and dam
gerous dictatorship from the east.

Talk in these parts is that there
were entirely too many people
who did not vote at all in this
election. One reason was that
they were not sold on any of the
candidates and therefore did not
have enough enthusiasm to take
an active part. Another reason
was our cumbersome method OF
balloting which requires a per-
son to make trip to register and
then repeat this performance to
a great extent on election day.
If voting could be conducted in
house-to-house manner with no
more trouble involved than that
of buying a Fuller brush, then
we would have nearer to 100
million votes cast nationally than
so million. OF course this contest
easy for people nowadays or most
of them won't take part in it.

that you never know what the

KALAMAZOO, Mich. June
25.-Two of the best college ball
players that have turned up in
years will stage a private duel
when Southern California and
Yale have it out this afternoon
and tomorrow for the second Ma
tional Collegiate baseball cham
pionship. They're Hank
Workman, Southern Cal left
fielder, and Frank Quinn, Yale
pitcher. Workman, husky
22-year-old, can ride the ball a
country mile, as he proved in the
Western regional playoffs by hit
ting four homers, two doubles and
two singles in IL times up for a
.667 average and knocking in
eight runs. Quinn, about the
best pitcher in the East, was used
twice in the Eastern playoffs,
tossing a fve-hit, 15-strikeout
game against North Carolina and
coming back for one relief inning
in the final game. =. OF course,
they both have had plenty of as
sistance this spring, but they're
the main reasons why the big
league scouts are gathering here.
Quinn turned down one $35, 900
offer from the Yankees and
Workman is said to have Yank
contract in his pocket.

Congress reports it has sent out
