These festivities in honor of Doctor Babcock were occasioned by the publication of his new book My Health Is Better in November by the University Press. The new book is a series of hunting and fishing stories filled with odd hap penings and angler's anecdotes. All students of the English de partment were invited and those possessing Doctor Babcock's new book had them personally auto graphed and inscribed by the author. The second of these autograph ing parties was given by Gittmans Book Store, Thursday, April 17, between the hours of 11 a. m. and 1:00 and 3 p. m. and 6:00 p. m. Doctor Babcock is journeying to Charleston today for the third party in his honor. An interesting sidelight con cerning Doctor Babcock is that shortly after the publication of his book of fishing stories the Chi cago headquarters of the Izaak Walton League announced that Doctor Babcock had been elected a national director of the League representing North Carolina and South Carolina. Doctor Babcock was the first president of the Richland County chapter of the League. In addition to this honor he was recently made a member of the conservation commission of the Southern Council of Science and Industry. He has been appointed on the conservation committee to construct a program to preserve game, fish, and sporting sections in the entire South. Maxcy Girls Are Threatened With Starvation Diet By BETTY JEAN STROM .The canteen's closed." "What! Again tonight?" "And we can't go anywhere else, either." Yes, the above incident happens VERY often and leaves the poor girls in Maxcy starving. Now, the girls in Maxcy depend on the canteen for their nightly milk shakes and candy bars and when the canteen is closed they are "simply famished." A freshman, who hasn't learned that food is to be consumed only three times a day, can't study, sleep or be too friendly to her associates when she's hungry. Every time there's a ball game or one of the clerks has a quiz in Chemistry, or some other subject, the canteen closes! "Please," the girls in Maxcy ask, "keep the canteen open a little longer each an'd every week night." Columbia Dairies 917 MaIn Street COLUMBIA, S. C.

There sitting in the basket along with Cleo and her offspring was one of our little women. One thing about laundry bas kets-they're on wheels, and if I necessary can serve as basinets, baby carriages, etc. It makes it easier on Cleo, too. When she wants to go visiting with her - family, she just gives forth with - a gentle "meoww" and some kind I soul comes rushing down and pushes her to wherever she wants to visit. What happened to the laundry? Well, the kid decided she didn't e want to send it out that week, anyway.
