February Has Few Days But
Packs Those With Highlights
February, the second month of the modern calendar
ordinarily contains 28 days. It was first placed after Jan
uary by the decemvirs of Rome in 252 B. C.
We are grateful that it was not<
forgotten because we wouldn’t then
know when spring begins if we didn’t
have February 2nd for the ground
hog to observe his shadow. Febru
ary’s St. Valentine Day affords a
time for all lovers to satisfy their
sentiments. Another gracious day w
added to February on Leap Year for
the would-be-lovers to have a one
last chance.
In character, February is cold and
stormy, and although it is the short
est month of the year, it has the
largest number of days of peculiar
interest, most of them birthdays.

show America on the offensive. Not
a defense show, it is, rather, a testi
monial from the American people to
their heroic deed. It is a promise that
the murders at Pearl Harbar, the
deaths at Manila and other scenes of
action will not only be remembered
—but avenged! It is a crystallization,
in stirring dramatic form, of the
thoughts and feelings and actions of
a hundred and thirty-two million
Americans at war. In no sense is it
fictionalized. It names people, places,
actual events. It tells why and for
what the American people are fight
ing today.
A program of actual happenings,
‘They Live Forever” presents first
hand facts concerning the men who
have already given their blood and
lives in today’s fight for freedom. In
addition, it shows what the American
people are doing to repay the debt
we owe the Axis powers with the
compound interest President Roose
velt promised.
Sunday night’s program brought
amazing facts, but nevertheless, true.
Concerning the hoarding evil of
household commodities, did you know
that every time General McArthur’s
troops fired a machine gun one-fifth
acre of sugar cane is consumed? Did
you know that if every person in
Austin, Tex., Harrisburg, Pa., and
Rockford, 111., saved one lumb of
sugar that this would be enough to
blast a Jap ship clean out of the
Pacific?
These amazing trueties and ac
counts of actual happenings will fill
this new program, “They Live For
ever,” every Sunday night from 11:30
to 12:00, Eastern Wartime. West
Georgia students are urged to listen
to this new series of programs about
the present war.

chanical school, anew institution was
founded on April 18, 1933 and was
named West Georgia College, a
branch of the University System of
Georgia. The founding of this college
was not so easily accomplished as
it may appear. It was only through
the untiring efforts and assistance,
both moral and financial, of the citi
zens of Carroll county and the of
ficials of the old A. & M. school that
this goal was achieved.
The present status of West Georgia
College is exceptionally high, rank
ing among the best junior colleges
in the state. Students enjoy a wide
range of activities and stand high not
only in scholarship but in extra cur
ricular activities as well. The college
paper has been awarded first honor
rating by the Associated Collegiate
Press for the past three years. Athle
tics and religious activities play an
important part in the life of the stud
ents, helping to make of them well
rounded individuals.

Captivating screen star Dorothy Lamour seems to have the mighty
Fred Allen dazzled and slightly non-plussed. He’ll soon find out that this
is Dorothy’s bond-selling technique—she’s just signed up with Uncle Sam
to tour the country in behalf of defense bonds sales. The fast-thinking
Mr. Allen, recognized master of ad lib, seems very much in need of a
good snappy comeback or the price of a defense bond. Miss Lamour started
her radio bond selling on Allen’s program.

All that we can say, however, is that
every student and faculty member on
the West Georgia campus and all
Carroll countians owe it to them
selves to visit the library and become
better acquainted with the institution
which has done so much toward the
betterment of their lives and com
