She lived behind it She laughed at her enemies. She felt secure: Soon an invader came from the north. Three times China found the enemy inside her gates. They did, not storm the wall. They did not go around They simply bribed the gate-keepers "Yesterday France built a wall, the Maginot line. Steel and stone. She felt secure behind it. She put her faith in it. Yet France fell. Why? Sothething was missing. There was a gap through which an invader came. That gap was not only in the wait It was the spirit of the people." These paragraphs start an amazingly truthful book on national defense endorsed by Gen . . John 3. Pershing. "You Can -Defend America.". Its easy -to-read pages sell at the newstands for a dime. Somewhere in the book are these paragraphs: "Human nature is the bottleneck in the produc tion of national morale. We need a new spirit in thd country. But to get it we must start with a new spirit in every citizen. •And that means you. "Either you sacrifice your personal selfishness for the nation or you sacrifice the nation for your personal selfishness." Unfortunately, those words are true. Either we sacrifice our personal selfishness for the nation—or we sacrifice the nation for our per sonal selfishness. Thus did France die. So. too could America. • It takes more than machines to stop the onrush ing Nazi powerhouse. Crumpled France and ob stinate Britain are proof of - that. We need a re dedication of ourselves to the ideals we have be gun to forsake—the Ten Conunandments stream lined: Sound homes Teamwork in industry A united nation. In other words, good faith among ourselves and. eventually, we can hope, good faith_among all the peoples of the world. Faith is the bedrock of human .happiness. With out happiness, life is hardly worth the effort Faith in someone, something to believe in is what we need. If we don't have that faith in the man beside us, how can we expect to find it among xiations The place to start is here. The place to end— who knows.. We must rebuild the spirit of our selves, .our homes. our communities, our industries ar.d our nation. Finally such an order—good faith between peoples rising up from the people them selves rather than imposed from above—i•ould know no national boundaries. It is an order men have dreamed of during thousands of years. that has persisted while others were forgotten—why? Is it because men want it? Is it because men believe it will work? Is it because we can adopt it here? Today? Part of its modern version did start here with .Dr, Frank Buchman, formerly of the College staff. Once they called it the Oxford Group.

Our last thought was of knowledge - As we as freshmen met Penn State And thought, "So this is college." A rude awakening came of course With those draned freshman customs And those of us who were most• bold Went right ahead to bust 'em. Perhaps our greatest hero In that fall of our frosh year Was a fellow they called "squirrely" With a cage over his ear. Collegian picked a queen for us Miss 1941. And that she was Jo Condrin proves It was a job well done. And then when spring time rolled around The class elected Amy As president our sophomore year In spite of all his blarney As sophomores to be salesmen Of - Collegian, Penn State's rag Was an honor and a privilege We poor fools thought we'd a drag It was that year politicians Gave a vote to all the girls And they blazed a trail with cars= Who was honestly a pearl. Then, too, it marked the opening Of Norma Stillwell's fight To be the College Maypole But it never turned out right. Our junior year we must admit We spent in one great daze While the Philadelphia papers Had their headlines all ablaze The politicians of that year Chose Virgil and Old Bart And it was a hard fought contest From its very merry start. It's awful to be seniors Who are hoping to get jobs While our future bosses Stay away from us in mobs We called on them this Easter To ask them what they think And - they smile and answer frankly Inexperienced students stink. And while we're on that happy note We may as well confess • That we are the foolish author Of this very silly mess.

Letters to the Editor= Fighting Words From Quarryville's Sage To the Editor: My friend Frances Lowey sent me some clippings with Observ ations made by one Helmut Landsberg, professor of. geo physics, whatever that may be, if it is, and one Dickey Jenks, presumably a descendant of Cap tain Jenks of the Horse Marines, made on the ground hog and his predictions. The learned doctor may be an authority on George physics, Dc.)an's livery pills, etc., but he knows no more about ground hogs than Mary Queen of Scots knew of bridge whist. As for Dickey, he refers to those can nibals of Punxsutawney who eat ground hogs while pretending to be their brother's keeper. Well! Dickey is not to be considered as less than deluded. Sympathetically, GEORGE W. HENSEL, Hibernating Governor, Slumber ing Ground Hog Lodge, Quarry ville, Pa. , Editor's Note: Mr. Hensel adds. that the Quarryville is the only known G. H. lodge with knowledge and wisdom a quali fication for membership.

Editor's Note:—After we lay anegg we never want to see it Burned Buildings Razed; New Structures Planned The Anchorage, ruined by flames last Monday night, and the Allencrest Building, gutted by fire in the early morning of April. 1, are both being torn down and plans for new struc tures drawn up. The new Allencrest Restaur ant building will be similar to the one that was lost in the fire with the exception that it will extend- farther toward Beaver avenue. The Anchorage - building will be replaced by a storeroom in the near future, according •to the owner Irvin M. Mohnkern. No definite plans for the new Allencrest Restaurant have been made, but serving faCilities will be more adequate and more mod ern, according to M. C. Mateer. Anna Kaskas .3 .
