By GEORGE W. CORNELL
NEW YORK—(A 5 )—Old-time re
ligious disapproval of ballroom
dancing and card playing isn’t
what it used to be in many
cjiurches today.
The opposition generally has
modified, denominational leadeis
say. New community conditions
have brought new approaches.
Although the attitude varies
from church to church, comments
from denominational officials
shows most major religious bodies
incline toward a more flexible
view.
“We don’t regard these things as
either a means of salvation or a
means of damnation,” said Dr.
Douglas Horton, executive secre
tary of the Congregational Christ
ian Churches.
“It’s undoubtedly true that the
^onSwas"’ 1 ^ ^ le “ tha "
tio“r oS e a rv other dci ’ omi "a-
oiiunals^he suggested the
more moderate tendency has re
sulted from changes in environ
ment and associations attached to
these diversions rather than from
any change in principle.
Moreover, said Dr. Ralph Stoody,
information director of the Meth
odist Church, “there is much more
positive preaching nowadays, and
less of the negative type.
“The whole trend fbr youth lead
ers in the church is not so much
to say ‘Thou shalt not’ as to create
positive healthful programs of
recreation as a part of church
life.”
Not long ago dances in church
halls were considered daring rari
ties. Now they’re commonplace,
though not customary. Many
church groups, particularly women
have their bridge clubs.
While fewer church bodies offi
cially frown on such activities,
many individual clergymen do.
The whole church accent is on re
straint.
CS Social Club
To Meet Friday
The College V/omen’s social club
will meet at 3*p. m. Friday in the
Memorial Student Center ballroom.
Piano music by Ernesto Marte-
lino, a native of the Phillipines,
and “Glimpses of France” by
Pierre Mommessin will be the main
features of the program.
The club is open to membership
for all wives of faculty members
and all women employed by the
college.
Future programs will include
“Poetry of Romanticism”, “Mon
odrama Matinee”, “Time for Fash
ion” and “Drama”.
Mrs. S. R. Gammon entertained
members of the executive board of
the Brazos Presbytery of the Wo
men of the Church for breakfast
at the Memorial Student Center
this morning.

Dr. and Mrs. J. A. Little of
Wichita Falls are visiting in the
home of his brother Dr. V. A. Lit
tle, entomology department, while
they attend the meeting. Mrs. J.
A. Little is synodical president of

zation.
Dog In Penthouse
CHARLESTON, Mo.—LP)—
Frank Hequenhorg’s dog Gick has
a penthouse home atop his master’s
house. He reaches it by ladder.
And Gick can walk the plank
anytime, too. It leads from the
Hequenbofg roof out over a back
yard lake. Gick enjoys the 30-foot
dive.
But he’s a canine prima donna.
He won’t dive unless there’s some
one around to applaud.

LATEST COLLEGE SURVEY
LUCKIES LEAD AGAIN!
SHOWS
Last year a survey of leading colleges
throughout the country showed that
smokers in those colleges preferred
Luckies to any other cigarette.
This year another nation-wide survey
— based on thousands of actual student
interviews, and representative of all
students in regular colleges-shows that
Luckies lead again over all brands, regu
lar or king size...and by a wide margin!
The No. 1 reason: Luckies taste better.
Smoking enjoyment is all a matter of
taste, and the fact of the matter is Luckies
taste better—for 2 reasons. L.S./M.F.T
-Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. And
Luckies are made better to taste better.
So, Be Happy—Go Lucky!
