In time of war it is the men whose noble deeds are sung at every fireside, who receive the medals for their heroic bravery, whose skillful tactics are recorded in history books for boys and girls; but it is the women, the unsung heroes of warfare through the ages, who fight with their bands and hearts a losing fight. War-makers with their charts and figures say that a coun try has won a war; the women of that country say that no nation ever wins. They know. They more than the war- makers, have felt its effect and results in weeks of anguish and years of read justment. Gilbert Murray in his translation of Euripides' The Trojan Women pictures a group of heroic women, soon to be led captive to a foreign country, who have felt the horror of war. They were more miserable than their husbands who had died in battle, because they had to live with their grief. In the Middle Ages during the Cru sades the women stayed at home, saved pennies, and ruled the kingdoms, while their royal sons went to the East for fame, adventure, and perhaps death. In the twentieth century, women are no less heroic in the time of war. Dur ing the orld War they observed the so-called "meatless days” and “sugarless days.” knitted socks for the boys at the front, rolled bandages at hospitals and enrolled in Red Cross work. With tears in their eyes, they sent their sons to the front and fought for the lists to see if a loved one was counted among the Thanksgiving Drive To contribute to a worthy cause means little unless we make our contribution with the conviction of the Apostle Paul that, “Though 1 give all my goods to feed the poor, and have not love, it profit ed! me nothing.” The Thanksgiving drive, under the leadership of Miss W. B. Geter, is a time when the students and faculty may express, in a material way, their grat itude for the advantages afforded in this institution by contributing to funds for missionaries in Africa and for the At lanta Community Chest.

Warsaw women and women throughout Poland during the past few months have shown a loyalty and determination al most beyond imagination. They fought beside the men, dug trenches, cooked their meals and attended to their wounds, comforted their children, and kept up their hope in the face of overwhelming odds. It will be a long time before they forget the bombed hospitals, the shat tered houses, the gutted schools, the piles of wreckage in the beautiful old market place. For these people the war is not over in a month or a year. Even the music of Chopin and Paderewski is not enough to relieve their grief and hardship.
