Premonitions
By ROY FOX
Confucius say: You can satis-
fy some of the people some of the
time but you cannot satisfy all of
the people all of the time. From
that statement your premoni-
tloner would be led to believe that
at one time or another the emi-
nent Chinese philosopher engaged
In a bit of newspaper editing
himself; for wo know of no other
profession in which it is harder to
satisfy all of the people all of the
time.
This Is the time of the year
when a young man's fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of love etc . . .
but it also is the time of the year
when wide-awake academic or
class organizations could profit by
planning some sort of entertain-
ment. A siege of winter activi-
ties basketball and other activi-
ties are at an end and time will
lag and students will loaf until the
usual spring events roll around.
Let's do something somebody.
Gone With The Wind an epic
in contcmpoiary literature from
the flowing pen of a true South-
erner who wanted the world to
read the real story behind the
Civil War will be shown to the
theater public of Brownwood dur-
ing the next week. An outstand-
ing feature of this technicolor
picture is its exactness in relation
to Margaret Mitchell's master-
piece; it's remarkable. So many
good books are literally spoiled by
the movie interpretation but the
Gone With The Wind on the screen
will be the same Gone With The
Wind as you read in book form.
The story in itself Is enough
reason for you not to miss GWTW
as it has come to be called. Other
statistics the amount of film the
cost the number of stars and play-
ers the time length of filming and
even the time taken to find just
the right leading lady make
GWTW a super production. A
two-year search wus made for
Scarlet O'Hara. Some of you
will remember when our own Mar-
garet Denman was given a scieen
test for the part.
Yes the price is a bit high but
the show will give you three hours
and forty-five minutes of educa-
tional entertainment and cer-
tainly by the time you have seen
the picture you will not regret it
in the least.
Sunday morning we experienced
a very rare opoprtunlty when we
were privileged to take part on a
radio program originating from
the KGKO studios Fort Worth.
The entire show was informal and
we were impressed with the air
of hospitality and friendliness
shown us.
We were made to feel right at
home from the moment we walked
into the studio office and found
Milton Atkinson the Campus Re-
porter sitting at a desk reading
of all things the Howard Payne
Yellow Jacket. Atkinson A Tex-
as Christian university student
was prepating his script for his
Tuesday night broadcast which
includes the news from Texas col-
leges. Each week Howard Payne
makes the news on the KGKO
program. The time should you
desire to listen is from 10:30 to
10:45 p. m. Tuesday. Listen In
next week.
Even the program was Informal
informal enough for us to bo giv-
en a chance to slip in about 100
words about Brownwood and
Brown county. On the otder of
the famous Information Please
program the round table discus-
fllon revolved around Texas history
und resources. J. Willaril Hidings

The CAA students of Howard
Payne organized Into a flying club
last Wednesday night following
the regular ground-work class.

Tructt Ponder vice-president;

Joe Fuqua minister of propagan-
da. Ed Moore ground school In-
structor and Harold Hall flight

It Is the hope of the group that
It might prepare some appropriate
cclebiation for the time when all
of them will have soloed.
At the present time there only
remain two who have not soloed.
These are Gene Blltch who has
seven hours and fifty-five minutes
and Waymon Wilson who has
seven and a half hours. The min-
imum for solo is eight hours. All
are expected to be through by
the end of the week. The weather
for the past week has been un-
favorable for flight thus delay-
ing much flying.
Tiny wings are going to be
awarded in chapel at the time
when all have soloed. These arc
of great significance to the stu-
dent for it gives them the feeling
of really having "earned their
wings."
