EVERYDAY
RELIGION
SPRING READING
OR
WHY READ ANYWAY?
BY Rev. Robert w. Turner

There is secret which many
people have never discovered which
you might like to know: 1t is
simply this-only very ignorant
people read books; therefore, if
you would like to know the most
deplorably ignorant people in the
town where you live, just stand
outside the library and take down
their names as they come and go
loaded with books. Thus armed,
you can have fun with your friends
laughing at all these strange peo-
pie who think they can learn some
thing by reading book-just be
sure you invite them to the party
so they can enjoy a laugh with
you'll Once you have laughed to-
gether, it might even be that you
will read together, who knows.
Books, like life itself, can be
very confusing if, like a grazing
COW, you exercise no choice in what
you read and have no knowledge Of
the authors or writer's. AS, in life,
we begin with God who preserves
us from confusion through our
trust in Him; so, in books, we do
well to begin with Gods Book of
Books-for here we shall find the
key to an understanding and APP
probation of all books and all peo-
pie. However, should you begin
elsewhere, you will eventually
come back there, provided you are
honest and do not quit along the
way. -
Each day that we live, people
are FINDING God" and "being
found" by Him. This lis such a
wonderful thing in their lives that
many of these persons feels they
must write it down and share it
with their friends and neighbors
whom they may never see. BY
reading these modern expert
ences" which are happening all
around us, we may catch something
of their enthusiasm for the good
ness and loving-kindness of Al
mighty God. We may also find
that many problems which these
! people have are just like the ones
we have and find great help in a
wise solution to our own or that
of friend or neighbor.
Spring Reading, if we really
"dig Deep, will certainly shatter

TIL E P A ST
BY CAROLYN LLOYD

Students at Woman's College
have protested the practice OF
searching dormitory rooms for evil
dence of regulation violations
That isn't surprising in itself;
what is surprising is that the prac-
tice is still going on. College rules
have become so much more lenient
since my day as a student that
it would seem there would be little
to search for.
Back in the old days at E.C.T.C.
such searches were expected and
consequently, prepared for. The
object of the "whose got the but
ton" game then was cigarettes;
but l can't imagine what they are
looking for now, since most col
leges permit smoking. The hunt
was always remarkably unsuccess-
full, as, somehow, the word of one
always got out along the grape.
vine route; and any girl who was
harboring contraband had plenty
of time to get rid of it. It was
hard on the plumbing, of course
but the girls figured the authori-
ties brought such troubles on them
selves. So far as / can remember
no one in my dormitory was evel
caught so the whole idea seems
tn have been useless.
The search was always conduct
ed by one or more house mothers
those widowed or spinster soul:
who were forced to make living
in such an ,unenviable manner
Perhaps they found it one of tht
distasteful duties of their jobs
but we students always pictured
them as sneaking around in un
holy glee just waiting to pounct
on malefactor. One of thos,
women, in particular, had also thu

Pointing up the great need for

Mrs. Walters said that she was
horrified 10 hear a youung Chapel
Hill mother say that she was not

We have in Chapel Hill because
it is the Commissioners that al
locate funds for the schools, she
said.
Chapel Hill has over half the
property valuation of the county
and almost half of the voters and
yet many people here let the north
ern end of the county determine
the kind Of schools we shall have
and what our tax rate shall be,
she declared. Every Chapel Hill
han must pay county taxes as
well as city taxes and so should
have strong representation on the
