With I the large number of boy* wo out for the team, one wonders whether the powerful Notre Dame aggregation has been transferred nere irom South Bend. However Coaches J. W'. Martin and R. W. Hopson are none too optimistic,, over prospects for a wiuftmg'team this year. In spite of the return o f all varsity linemen except Samuel Snipe versatile lineman of many seasons at Booker, almost the entire backfleld of lust season graduated, which moans obviously the^building of a completely new backfield. Fields' kicking especially will be missed; then, to add to the rtumbtous neadaches the coaches have alreadv. big Pearson mui hard run, ing Ma ben still have not return od to school. With thest> and other problems, then, the Tornadoes face the powerful Avery Institute aggregation from Charleston on Friday afternoon 3:30 p.m. at Antisdel ield, Benedict college.

'l_ TOLERANCE IS NOT ENOUGH By Ruth Taylor We talk about tolerance today as though it were a great virtue. We prute of being a "tolerant" people. "We lecture about it, and write books and articles and feel exceasively proud oT our selves for our tftolerantj" attitude tj&wartds others. But tolerance is not enough. It is negative in its viy,ue and far too often carries~Avith it a Pharisaical condescension which i? ut. [terjty foreign to the American way of life. According to the dictionary "to tolerate" is "to suffer to be done withot active opposition;" "tolerant" is "of long suffering disposition," and "toleration" is the""act" of allowing that which i? not wholly approved." Surely that is not what we mean when we talk of -tolerance. Nor it it what we desire. There is no room for mere tolerance of one another, or of any group, in._a_da~. mocraey where the ideal set forth in our governmental credo is that "all men are created equal." What we need today is not "toleration" between the .many groups of diverse races, national^ ities and creeds which go tn make "up~thi^^Amer?ca of ours?but a spirit of understanding, a knowledge of the good and the beauty and the wisdom each group contributes to the common whole. What' UP npp<) t<wlnv iv mutual understanding. "To ^understand," -according to the dictionary is "to comprehend the relation of things, to know through information." And one of the definitions of "understanding" iK possessing comprehension and good sense." M"'|"il understanding '?meafts" mutual trust?the belief in and knowledge of each other that is the great unifying f orce which ^can Avetd^us^ Tifto a nation invincible to attack from without because it immunizes u? to attack from within. The Fifth Column we need tu fearTnosT isTthat created by our own racial and religious prejudices, often held unconsciously, but far too apt to break out at the wrong moment?and to destroy our ability to think clearly and to judge wisely. Sc MflT There must be-mo dividing line* between our"' people. We must be Americans all?understandi ng and believing in each other and working together to defend our country from all threats of disunity- from whatever source they come. > vey, B. R. Harrison, L.

Misses Janie Rucker, Home Demonstration agent of Sumter county; Reva Burgess, beautician; A. E. Brogdon, a member of the facul-ty Linoola -high ^-school and" the writer started on a journey. Leav ing Sumter, S. C. at such an early hour enabled us to catch the sweetness of the morning breeze which permeated our system and gave us health and vigor sojhat we could enjoy" the trip we anticipated. It was P.n ideal situation for us the day was calm, the roads were fine, and we were in a happy at- i mosphere we had asked God's Di- \ vine guidance and had overwhelm- , ing confidence in him that he would take care of us. \Ve were attracted by the many beautiful scenes as we went .on and on our first stop was Green ville;?We~TPhrxetU then continued our journey. Reaching the moun tains we gazed on its beautiful 3ceTTes~afi<r chatted freely with , each other concerning the wonders of nature. Those of us who had never traveled through .the.., mountains were amazed because of its supreme beauty and splen dors as we passed through. Miss Reva Burgess having once lived in Asheville was the Bureau of Information for us. Our first stop was with Mrs. Harris a' friend of Miss Burgess who lives in AsHeville. Here we spent a few brief but pleasant moments. Next we went to the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Brogdon of Asheville. Mr. Brogdon and the writ. - or hadn't?srrtr~each~~other"inee they graduated at Allen univer-srty in 1917. Naturally this was a happy reunion. He_is _a_rela- five of Miss A. E. Brogdon. Here at this home we ate a hearty appetizing hot. dinnciv?It?was a s "pleasure to have had a chance to see and partak*. of the hospitality of this family. Leavin ghere we went out to Oteen. N. C. where at the Veter~ an hospital we saw many patients njoying thL. mountain breeze. But the climax of the trip was when the writer saw the smiling-face of her loving companion Mr. R. H. Johnson of Pinewood. We were happy beyond expression to _ see Jiim-in such an excellent spirit and it is our prayer and hope that an all wise God will restore him to health in the near future and he will be with us again. There is nothing toa_ hard for the Lord to do. We reluctantly left the hospital in order that we might be able to pass through the mountains before- sunset. Miss Rucker a real driver was at the wheel and with God she landed us safe. On our waj7s*bSck after replenishing our machine in Asheville we made only one stop. This was at the home of Mrs. Rucker the mother of Miss Rucker. She lives in Belton, S. C. It Miss Rucker's folks. They made it very?pleasant?for us. Miss - -ftucteerV" folks ' like herself are very outstanding anxl are render uiK vuiuauu1 service to numaniiy. Leaving: Belton in high spirit we sang God's praises to our soul's content. At midnight we reached Sumter and sent u p words of praise and thanksgiving to our Ifeavenly Father for having given us a successful motor-, Townsehd" which" was enjoyed by ill who were present.
