Ethan Colton, A. B., LL, >., world traveller, author and lecturer on .international affairs, spoke on "Conditions in Germany under Hitlor," ^ the entire proceeds going.' toward.. the running expenses of the Children's Home, The speaker was cleverly introduced to the assemblage by A. Stanley Llewellyn w.lth a fund of appropriate anecdotes. Dr. Colton stated that the Hitler program resembles Mussolini's plan of syndicating power and has some of tho features of our N. R. A., in the main that all three are simply marking time. He deplored the persecution of the Jews in Germany, explaining that they are but one per cent of the population. Howover, in extenuation he explained that there was an element of Russian, Lithunian and Polish Jews in Germany who were a distinct detriment to the well-being of the country, but? th^ real German Jews whose parents and grandparents were born on German soil also objected to them. The harm has been done by making no distinction. Dr. Colton says that at least two-, thirds of the poulation are solidly backing Hitler and greet a dictatorship, and even a monarchy with enthusiasm. Ho explains their attitude by the fact that they were forced to become a republic through the intervention of President Wilson and the Treaty of Versailles, and the grave mistake of making them give up their old national flag. , Following his address there were some.questions from the audience and a general discussion.

To those who do not know the history of the Warm Springs Endowment Fund, the following will be of interest: _ . , In the fall' of 1924, President) Fi'anklin D. Roosevelt, who had been severely disabled in 1921 by Infantile Paralysis, learned of igkyoung man, also a victim of "pc>Hp'\ who had spent three successive jsummers bathing in the warm water pools of Warm Springs. . This young man, practically helpless, had been helped each day into the pool/ He quickly found that he could move his limbs in the water and by persistent effort and exercise so increased- their strength that at the end of the third summer he was able to walk an#e more with the aid of a cfcne. . Mr*,. iRoosevelt went to Warm Springs in the Spring of 1925 and spent several weeks, exercising and swimming in the pools. He was so impressed with the improvement of other patients, ^ well as _Ms?owiU that he decided in 1926 to conduct some experimental work. I Twenty-three patients were placed under observation for periods of five to seventeen weeks. All made improvement, some to remarkable degrees. , At the close of the season a detailed report of each case was made to three prominent orthopedic surgeons. Each expressed unqualified approval and concurred in the establishment o a Hydro-therapeutic Center at Warm Springs. On July 28th, 1927, the Warm Springs Foundation, backed by a num' her of prominent and public spirited j men, was incorporated to be develi oped and administered without perj sonal gain or profit. The policy of the trustees has developed Warm Springs as nn ortho pedic centre. This development brought about a position of leader ship, which, under tho direction ol the President, is now ready to co "ordinate all of the many individua efforts in the fight against Infantih Paralysis into a national crusade. The endowment fund, made possibh by the citizens of the country, wil enable the Foundation to carry oi and intensify this leadership. Thanks Those Who Helped R. M. Kennedy, Jr., Mayor of Camden, and chairman of the committee who sponsored the President's Ball held here Monday night, wishes tp thank all those individuals and firms who so graciously helped ifi putting the ball over in such a successful manner.

THE FORGOTTEN MA'AM vO By Power W. Bethea, Greenville, in Sunday's Columbia State <? A lady dwells in this fair land Who toils all day with book in hand; Her service seems in poor demand? Her wage is only sixty dollars. She teaches in a rural school, And never sits on chair nor stool, But smiles and works by rigid rule? For which she's given sixty dollars. She goes to school through sleet and snow, And oft returns at sunset's glow; Does this suffice'as salaries go? She draws a meager sixty dollars Oh, she must work till late at night, Then rise at morn by. candlelight, And,?teach?her pn pit a?dull and bright? For a pittance of sixty dollars. Yes, she must dress so spic and span, Then pay her board.' on first deman' And save for summer when she can? With a beggarlyt sixty dollars. She goes to summer school and kirk; No social duty does she shirlc; She murmurs not of extra work? Tho' she gets only sixty dollars. Despite the fact we treat her wrong She plies her talents with a song, And does not know the day is long? Does she earn only sixty dollars 1 t Her heart is with her girls and boys . From any task she never coys, I But ever shares their pains and joys? Is she worth only sixty dollars? Is this fair land my native state. Which >Vorks a teacher soon and late Then grips its purse like some in grate? And hands her only sixty'tlollars' Welian?GUthrie . k - x w Special to Tho Columbia State. , Chicago, Jan. 27.?Mr. and Mrs. Harold 'Stone Wolton, of Beverly Hills, Chicago, 111., announce the engagement of their daughter, Miss Mabel Edith Walton, and Randolph Hohson Guthrie, of 444 East Fiftysovunth street, New York, the sun of Mr. and Mrs. J.
