Make party, meeting, or business plans. You and your
tclephone can be the world’s most efficient get-things-done
team , , . even on a rainy, rainy, day!

BEING QUICK ON THE DRAW was an important
qualification for telephone operators out west in the early
1900’s. A memo recently found in some old files told
about the visit of a telephone official to a company office.
The man noticed a .45 revolver
lying on the switchboard. Whea
he asked the operator whether
she ever had to use it, she said,
“If the customers see it there,
they won't try to hold me up,
and they won't try to walk out
without paying for Long Dis
tance calls.”” Things have
changed considerably since that
day. Qualifications for telephone
operators, for instance. Today,
instead of being quick on the draw, operators are trained
to be quick with the service and courtesy that has become
a telephone company trademark.

parents. Teen-agers. Additional listings for all of them
cost so little. Why not call our business office about it now.

Dear Editor:
Memorial Day April 26, will
probably pass unnoticed by
most-~it is only human nature
lto forget the soldier when the
war is over. However, it seems
|especially sad for the Confed
erate soldier to fade into ob
scurity, for here the great
American success story moves
In reverse, outstanding valor
and devotion did not bring it’s
usual reward but ended in
heartbreak and bitter defeat.
Their tragic story really be
gins before most of them were
born, back in 1832 when tor
mented old John C. Calhoun
sacrificed his chances for the
presidency in a battle to secure
minority rights and protection
from unfair tarriffs. Calhoun
could not comprehend that it
was constitutional or democra
tic process for one state or
section to prosper at the ex
pense of another by gaining
control of the Congress.
Thomas Jefferson altho op
posed to slavery, warned that
any compromise on the subject
would only set a precedent for
further encroachment, but
Southerners could not be arous- ‘
ed and wunified against the |
}danger of their civilization be- |
‘ing legislated out of existance. |
We did ultimately lose con-{
trol in Congress through com- |
promise and the vicious and |
hypocrital abolitionists (they |
were as notibly silent as to|
‘means, solution or responsibi-;
lity for freed slaves as they |
were outspoken in their de- |
mands for the release of other
peoples property) stepped up\

music for all tastes. |
~ The performing bands are |
| composed of students from both !

program which combines the!
instrumental facilities and per—!
sonnel to create a marching
band for Vanderbilt and con-i

University Center Bands, and |
his assistant, Jerry Haynie, will |
conduct the Wind Ensemble |

their campaign of hate, murder
and insurrection. This reign of
terror, condoned and applauded
by such prominent people as
Emerson and Whittier, Lowell
and Longfellow although di
rected at the slave-holding 10
per-cent of the South’s popu
lation was viewed with equal
alarm by the other 90 per-cent
who could see only social and
economic chaos with the re
lease of four million irrespon
sible negroes in a white society.
At this point Lincoln’s
“house divided” speech could
only be interpreted by South
erners as threat and condem
nation and after 30 years of
pressure and abuse were con
vinced that the only alternative
was to get out! Ironically Lin
coln’s famous Gettysburg add
ress applied more to Souther
ners who, after the war when
their land was taken over in
vindictiveness of spirit for
economic exploitaticn, had
visited upon them the wvery
worst they had feared from the
beginning.
But in defense of his country
the Confederate infantryman
left a record unexcelled in
history; West Point and the.
Infantry School at Ft. Benning
are replete with examples ofl
his prowess. One of the undy
ing glories of the American
nation, writes Sir Winstoni
Churchill, is, the more despe
rate the Confederate soldiers
situation became, the more
fiercely he fought. Perhaps one
of their greatest tributes was
paid them by a yankee, Pulitzer
prize winning novelist Bruce
Catton who said that altho’
they could not quite make thel
South a new nation, they couid
make an army which will
march through American mem
ories as long as anyone cares!

and a time when young men at
tained greatness by forgetting
their own concerns,
