British Exchange Teacher To Be Heard At Slater Hall Next Week

Miss Ethel Davis, British exchange teacher in the Pinckney Street School in Greenville, will speak at Slater Hall on Thursday night, February 27, at 7:30 o'clock under the sponsorship of the Slater-Marietta Civic Club. This meeting will be held in the Masonic Hall. The club is extending a special invitation to all parents, teachers, and other interested adults of the community to attend this meeting, urging them to be present. Children are not expected to attend, since the meeting will not be of a nature to warrant their attention.

Before coming to Greenville, Miss Davis was English teacher in the Norwood Green School, Heston, Middlesex, England.

Miss Davis has filled a number of speaking engagements since coming to Greenville, and members of the Civic Club feel that they are fortunate in being able to secure her as guest speaker for the February meeting.

It is hoped that the adults of the community will avail themselves of the opportunity of hearing Miss Davis as she gives some of her impressions of America and discusses the reconstruction which is now taking place in England. _________________________ BOOKS DONATED TO SLATER LIBRARY

Several library patrons have very kindly remembered the library by donating books. These book donations are greatly appreciated, and the librarian takes this opportunity to publicly thank those who have been so thoughtful as to pass their own books on to other readers.

The first of these books, called "Men of the Bible" by D. L. Moody, was donated by Miss Doris Hannon. Some of the characters addressed in the book are: Abraham, Moses, Noaman, Nehemiah, Herod, John the Baptist, The Man Born Blind, Joseph of Arimathea, and the Penitent Thief. Those who are especially interested in reading books of a religious nature will enjoy "Men of the Bible."

Ann Thompson has presented to the library two delightful little books called "On the Way to Storyland" and "Jack and Nancy at Home." These books belong to the "Laidlaw Basic Readers" series, and are especially suitable for the first grade child. The interesting text and colorful illustrations make both of these books a "must" on the reading list of the small child.

EDITORIALS

Keep Them Lit!

A few days ago we were in the shop at the plant. The electrician called us in to see a collection of light bulbs that had been removed from the street lights here at Slater. There were 26 of these bulbs, but the bad part about it was these bulbs had been broken out, leaving only the metal bases.

This means that 50 percent of the lights that had to be replaced had been knocked out, or in some cases shot out, by various persons on or off the village. In a law-abiding community, we think this condition serious.

The 13 lights were broken by young people on or around Slater, which is an unhealthy condition, for if such vandalism is allowed to go on, it is certain that young Americans who receive such trainiing will grow up to be citizens without any public spirit whatsoever, and many drift into more serious crimes which will lead to penitentiary offenses.

Street lights are placed in the village to allow workers to go to and from work at night to better see their way. When a light is destroyed, it has a tendency to increase the possibility of serious injury to some citizen of our village who may stumble over obstructions that could have been seen if the light had been burning. Most of us like to quote the golden rule as the finest standard by which to live, and certainly we know of no better place to begin than right at home in helping our neighbors by aiding them in getting to and from their work.

The village deputy is doing all in his power to see that lawlessness is eliminated entirely from Slater; however, he will

[article continues on col. 2, bottom section]

find it very hard to accomplish this unless the good citizens of this village and community come to his assistance. Won't you, as a public spirited citizen, aid this deputy and your fellow citizens by doing all in your power to keep the street lights burning and not allowing your children or other children to destroy them? In the second place, these lights are expensive, for when one bursts, considerable time, trouble, and cost are involved in replacing it. The man who replaces them has a dangerous job in that he must climb these poles in order to replace them. A fall by the electrician could be very serious and damage the body of the man badly.

This is an earnest appeal by the Slater News for all to help and to assist in every way possible, not only by keeping the street lights burning, but also to assist in any other way whatsoever to prevent lawlessness from becoming rampant in this village.

SLATER DAY BY DAY

When people have nothing else to talk about, they talk about the weather. Well, why not? We always have weather. In fact, since ground hog day was so bright and sunshiny, and Mr. Hyer insisted on running outside to see his shadow, we have had real winter weather.

Mr. Staton, who delivers our Greenville papers here at Slater, said his thermometer registered 7° on a cold Sunday morning recently. And one of the very reliable members of the local Baptist Church replied that down at the mill gate the thermometer said 3° that same morning.

Why it was so cold a couple of mornings that when the wake-up whistle blew at 6:30 the sound froze into one huge lump of noise and hung suspended in the air like and inflated balloon!

And the ring of our neighbor's axe, as he chopped his morning supply of wood, was so cold that it hit against the house and bounced back to be cut again.

When the pigeons flew around over the village their shadows froze in mid air.

Even the bark of a playful puppy froze and bounced along the sidewalk, to be picked up and played with like a rubber ball.

And the steam from the kitchen kettle formed into ice, and we had a miniature ice storm for breakfast.

People walked alon the streets hunched down into themselves to keep warm.

Small boys, going to school or out to play, added an extra shirt and pair of pants to their regular amount of cold weather clothes. But the little girls, doomed by dame fashion and popular opinion to wear skirts and sox, shivered and stumbled along through the icy wind, their bare legs numb from the cold.

Oh, well, spring is just around the corner, and by the time this is printed, crocus and pansies will be blooming and our small fry will have the air filled with flying kites. ___________________________

LINES FROM THE LIBRARY

The third grade of the local school recently came in a group to visit the Slater Library. While in the library, the children enjoyed the juvenile books and magazines, after which their teacher and the librarian told them some interesting things about the library. Although some of the children composing this group live in Slater and belong to the library clubs, many of the others had never had an opportunity to visit our library. While on their "tour, those children who live on a rural route and had never visited a post office stopped at the local post office to learn some interesting things such as the procedure used in mailing letters and packages. The trip was climaxed by a stop at the cafe, where everyone had a cone of ice cream.

We wish to congratulate Mrs. Elizabeth McDaniel, teacher of this group, for the fine opportunity which she offered her pupils by making this trip to the library, post office, and cafe possible. We were delighted to have Mrs. McDaniel and her pupils visit us, and invite them to come back at their earliest convenience. ____________ New library members are again in the news, and the first to be mentioned is Miss Margaret Coleman, first grade teacher in the local school. We are happy that the library is able to supply some supplementary reading materials for use in Miss Coleman's classroom, and we compliment her on the fine work which she is doing with her reading classes.

Children who have recently become library members are: Laura Lee Bruce, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rance Bruce; and Joan Waldrop, little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alving Waldrop. _____________ New books for children are constantly being added to the library collection. All the "kiddies" are invited to come in and read them. ________________ Those in the community who enjoy photography as a hobby will be glad to learn that a magazine called "U.S. Camera" has been ordered.
