sented to Dorothy Ward, Margery Johnson, and Nevaun Bennet by Mrs. Walter Harrison Fisher, YWCA board member and donor of the galleries, who donated the prizes toward the YWCA building fund.
BEST ESSAY Best essay of the three finally chosen was judged to be Miss Ward’s description of “Le Lac” by Corot, her entry winning in the French-English paintings group in the contest. Miss Johnson and Miss Bennet were winners in the Dutch and American groups, respectively, all paintings being on display at the Fisher galleries.
Each woman received $100 to be given as a contribution to the building fund in their name. Miss Ward, grand winner, was awarded an extra $50 for her efforts.
Introduced by Marilyn Esslinger, who was in charge of the program, Mrs. Fisher announced the winners and presented the checks. Fallowing the reading of the essays, Miss Ward’s essay was designated as the best of the three.
Included in those present wore Mrs. Lolyd Wright, president of the YWCA advisory board; Mrs. Ruth Grant, board executive vice-president; Mrs. Charles E. Millikan, board member; Jea Morf, ASSC vice-president; and Winifred Poing-destre, director of the galleries.
SYMPATHETIC PICTURE Judges gave first place to Miss Ward, they stated, because of her sympathetic picture of the “grey day,” a favorite motif of Corot in his later work. She was also commended for the expression of the personal influences the landscape had on her.
“ ‘Le Lac’ is the story in oils of a gray day,” she said in her essay. -There is a cloudy sky, but suggestions of blue; a misty air, but suggestions of sunlight.”
Miss Ward described part of the appeal of the painting as reminding her of the holidays she spent in the country, W'here she saw days similar to those depicted by Corot. She cited Corot’s ability "to capture the mood of the day and its particular luminous beauty.”
‘POEM IN PAINTING* Concluding her essay, she termed "Le Lac” a “poem in painting-most appealing for its haunting, ephermeral loveliness.”

to visit school nurses unless the teacher approves, and often a week or more passes before a teacher, uneducated in health activity, recognizes that something is wrong with one of his pupils.
457 DIFFERENT ANSWERS
Recently when 457 requests for a definition of “health" wrere sent to graduate students and college professors. 457 different answers wrere received, the speaker commented.
Dr. Davis also revealed that there are now 200 national and 300 state institutions studying problems of health, but since they are totally uncoordinated they are not accomplishing much. Among those operating state institutions, California ranks with the best.	i
In conclusion Dr. Davis reiterated that health should never be an end in itself, and that health consciousness leads to hypochondria and hosts of other complications.
"Sensible living, and putting forth 60 minutes of accomplishrhent for every hour of life is the ideal to aim for,” he said.
Receiving his doctorate at Columbia, Professor Davis taught at the universities of Pittsburgh and Louisville and served four years in the navy before coming to SC.

"A sub-committee of congress, under the chairmanship of Fewest Harness, R„ Ind., unanimously denounced this illegal use of funds.” Roberts said.

“The politicians are afraid of the opposition of the many church and educational organizations which are opposed to compulsory military training,” Roberts stated.
“The sponsors of the bill are sincere, but it doesn’t seem advisable to arouse such a controversial issue during an election year, so UMT has become the proverbial political football,” the CAI secretary said.
