POSSUM FLATS... going the professor one better
By GRAHAM
We can breathe easier xiow because
mid-term exams are over (And we
hope everyone passed.) Actually, we
believe it was harder on the teachers
thin it was on ub.
Junior Class Gossip
.Seen: Joan with her “gonc-away
BWeettbeart” last Friday night. What
happened J. W., did he get lonesome ?
Heard: That W. L. P.—oh excuse
me, it’s W. L. Smith. now, seems to
life her married life fine. I don’t
blame her, do you?
Say, W. P., what has happened be-
tween you and that cute little Sopho-
more girl? (Trouble) or (Good
News.)
Say, H. W., has that doctor given
you any prescription jet? 1 know
you have a weak heart every time
he’s near. Hoiw about that?
Say, D. S., what makes jour heart
skip a beat when we mention playing
the. Gap. Couldn’t be a cute little
blonde-headed girl, could it?
We wonder why Lorene C. was so
excited last Tuesday. Couldn’t be be-
cause of a letter Betty J. received,
could it?
Seen and Heard: The Juniors argu-
ing over which ring they wanted. It
seems to be pretty hard for twelve
people to decide on the same ring,
doesn't it?
Sophomore News
We have all made our new resolu-
tions and are starting on the last
half of the term. We are having ter-
rible bad weather and spring isn’t
even in sight.
• _ Gossip
Betty Jean, what were you doing
in history class Monday? Were you
“speaking" or “gossiping” to Charlie
■y.? Mrs. BW
eiping.”
Lorene R., don’t you know better
than to write him every day? He
may not can read. That would be a
jjood excuse. (She's writing one now.)
Charlie Y. is always “shooting the
bull" to someone and Sunday he got
to ride it!! See what I mean!!
Jean, do you know anyone named
“Skeet” ? The way your letter starts
you must. Now who's calling me a
♦ “little devil”?
Heard: Betty Jean saying, “Cecil
J love you”! Wonder what she meant.
What certain girl has been giving
Billy H. the “birdseye glances”?
• Why is M. C. blue today? Is it be-
cause of the weather?—D.L.C.
presto!—

ECHOES FROM
CLIFTON COLLEGE
Keep Your War Bonds
TAKE THE CASE OF JOHN SMITH,
AVERAGE AMERICAN:
For over three years nolw, he has
been buying War Bonds through the
Payroll Savings Plan. He has been
putting away a good, chunk of his
earnings regularly—week in, .week
out.
He is accumulating money—maybe
for ithe first time in his life. He is
building up a reserve. He is taking
advantage of higher wages to put
himself in a solid financial position.
Now suppose everybody in the Pay-
roll Plan does What John Smith is
doing. In other words, multiply John
Smith by twenty-six miUion. What
do iwe get? Yes, we get a solid,
strong, healthy, and prosperous
third member in their family of chil-
dren—a daughter. Mother and daugh-
ter are reported in good health.
We hope bo see David Bronstad
soon since he is reported to be in
home territory.

Dorothy, what was it you were
“undertaking” to do?
A few of the College students were
seen at Joy Cole and Ddris Ingram's
for breakfast Monday morning. A
most enjoyable time was had by
everyone, and we must say—there
are some good cooks!
Sarah, you can think of the most
enjoyable Mine to have blowouts.
We are sorry to hear that some of
players hai
stand for farm, factory and finance.
They cover the nation and make it
what it is. You may be neither a
farmer, a factory worker nor a finan-
cier but, if not, you are probably so
dependent on one of the three groups
that you are one with it, in thought
and aim. There are exceptions, but
the big F’s ties in all of us but a
small minority.
In the matter of stability^ the three
F’s are as dependent on each other as
the legs of a stool. If one goes down,
they all topple. Neither of these big
groups of people can enjoy prosperity
long unless the others likewise pros-
per. And here is a wonder of all time:
Why are these three classes suspicious
of each other? Why do they so con-
sistently work against each other?
Farmers’ Markets ,
When is the agricultural industry
prosperous? The answer is plain to
any observing farmer: Farmers have
a quick market for all they produce,
at good prices, only when factory
workers are .very largely employed at
good wages. Laborers constitute a
big class and they work hard. When
they have good jobs they eat well,
cover their tables with the best of
what farmers sell.
Here is where the preaching starts:
Since farm prosperity depends on
good wages at factories, it is in every
fanner’s interest to work for the
healthy welfare of labor. Why then
does the political Farm Bio' concern
itself so avidly with class legislation
instead of working for the thing that
always helps the farmer—namely, la-
bor’s sound advancement ?
Workmen’-1 Pay
This is definitely a Christian leach-
ing. The illustrious Paul, who wrote
most of the New Testament, said “Do
not take account of your own in-
terests, , but the interests of others
as well.” Moreover the rule is not con-
fined to the farm for its application.
It is just, as righteous and just as
practical for the use of working men
who want to improve their living
standards. Thus:
When do laborers enjoy steady
work at 'high wages? Every thinking
worker knows the answer. Labor
prospers when men of wealth put out
their money, expanding old businesses
and building new ones. Of course it
80 per cent of all theyr make to
laborers and farmers. These men
wear good clothes, drive good cars
and modernize their home wihen they
can afford it. Any financier, able to
see which side of his bread is but-
tered, knows where profits come from.
They come from prosperous, buying
farmers and happy, well paid workers.
If the threq big F’s would look out
for one another; if employers never
exploited labor; if farmers did not
envy capitalists; if workers never
used intimidation, prosperity would
certainly follow. It would be for us
all. The code that Jesus upheld in the
Sermon on the Mount 2,000 years ago
is still good. Communism, envy,
greed and violence can't live in the
climate with applied Christianity.
