Roosevelt Talks To Georgian Farmers
Resettlement Experiment in Southern Districts Is Praised by Chief
WARM SPRINGS, Ga., Dec. 2— (UJJ)—To a shivering audience of overall-clad Georgia farmers, President Roosevelt today hailed experimentation in rural resettlement and inferentially called on states and communities to follow the example set by the government.
The chief executive spoke at a federal rehabilitation project at Pine Valley after motoring slowly through the development where model homes are rising swiftly to replace the white-washed cabins of other days.
Noting the project is for 300 families, Mr. Roosevelt observed:
“In the United States there are not just 300 families that deserve the right to better living conditions, but at least a million of them. It is clear, however, that the government cannot give help to all, but the government caA set an example —set this kind of an example.”
‘ Success,” he added, “depends not only on government planning—and as we go ahead we will make good even more cheaply—but on you as A very great obligation rests
22 Fraternities Contend for Awards; 122 Men in Competition
Sigma Phi Epsilon was unanimously selected by four judges to receive the silver loving cup, first prize in the third annual songfest held last night in Bovard field. Sigma Alpha Epsilon, rated best last year, was awarded second prize, a bronze loving cup, gift of Phi Mu Alpha, honorary music fraternity.
With 192 men competing in the traditional interfraternity singing the judges found it necessary to give more than a single thought in order to choose the winners. Phi Kappa Psi, up to the last minute was a potential threat for second place.
Chi Phi Opens Pete
Beginning at 8 o'clock under flood lights on Bovard field Chi Phi sung their fraternity song and then supplemented it with a "round of jazz.” Delta Chi followed and was greeted with loud applause. In alphabetical order Delta Sigma Phi Was third with Kappa Alpha led by Ed Hallock coming next. Much interest was shown in Kappa Alpha’s song for all the fraternities were mentioned in a more or less disrespectful and jesting manner.
“Come Gather All Ye Merry Men” was the piece sung by Kappa Sigma. “Moon Song” was the choice of Phi Kappa Psi. The “Phi Tau Dream Girl” was sung by Phi Kappa Tau, and was followed by Phi Mu Alpha, honorary music fraternity, singing the “Red and Black.” Phi Mu Alpha did not compete in the songfest.
Spicy Tune Offered
FoUowing Sigma Chi which was led by Gil Kuhn, Sigma Nu rendered a spicy selection which was enjoyed by the four hundred spectators. Sigma Phi Epsilon, the winners, and Zeta Beta Tau were the two last fraternities to sing.
While the judges, Max Swarthout, Pauline Alderman, Dr. Fran-j cis Bacon, and Harold Roberts were selecting the musically outstanding fraternities the audience was subjected to the “Coney Island Washboard Blues” which Was sung as a duet.
Harold Roberts concluded the singing by leading the Trojans who sang the S. C. alma mater.
