ROLLINS TO HELPSTUDENT REFUGEES

Rollhis has joined the nation-wide movement of American stu-dents to help outstanding youngEuropeans who have suddenly beendeprived of all their chances foran education.

"The challenge of Nazi Germanyextending to the far places of theearth, is not so much an attack byone nation against another," saysthe Intercollegiate Committee toAid Student Refugees, "it is thechallenge of a form of governmentwhich imprisons free people in aslave state. It is the peril in acold scorn of religion, a mockery offree thought, a spurious theory ofrace. It is the dangerous and brut-al command to the universities todo homage to the Nazi faith. Thatthese ideas have prospered abroad,few will deny; but in America weare determined to see them fail.As students we must resolve that

Total $318,447.00Winter Park Topics presents

statements from several of theleading realtors on the; splendidrecord that the city has made bothin sales and in new construction:

FROM II. W. BARNUM, SECY.WINTER PARK LAND CO.The record of the past year's

building permits • would seem toindicate that the advantages ofbuilding in Winter Park continueto be appreciated. With the pos-sible exception of one or two build-ings, the list includes only thosewho have built homes.

To our mind this is the mostsubstantial type of improvementand indicates that an increasingnumber of visitors each year, afterchecking very carefully the pres-ent community and its future pos-

sibilities, have found Winter Parknot only a delightful place in whichto live, but a substantial place inwhich to build.

FROM H. B. CARLETONWinter Park has made a host of

new friends during the past year,many of whom have bought lots onand around our beautiful lakesand built splendid homes at a costof over $300,000. While we brok-ers were pleased to sell them lots,it does not add much to our grosssales. This leaves sales for thisseason almost wholly to homesbuilt in the past 10 years, but eventhese figures run around $200,000probably. We have had no newhomes built for sale or for rentunder F.H.A. or otherwise, so feelWinter Park is fortunate in beingable to sell houses as they come in-to the market to new residents andat fair prices.

There is a ready market for any-one who will build some new mod-ern homes for sale, and be satis-fied with a fair profit, to meet theincreasing demand from peoplewho wish to live in Winter Park.

FROM HIRAM POWERSThe demand for homes in Win-

ter Park is rapidly increasing andis already far ahead of that in re-cent years. Many new large resi-dences are now completed and someof the choicest lakeshore propertieshave recently been purchased formore buildings.

It seems at this time that thenorth side residential district isimproving the most beautifully andrapidly, and indications point tothe opening of several large newsubdivisions by next fall, on the

north, east and south shores ofLake Maitland.

In the twenty four years of myexperience as a realty broker inin Winter Park I have never feltmore confidence in real estate asan investment than I do here rightnow. People are becoming tired ofconstant uncertainty, depressionand anxiety. They need confidence.A reasonable sense of securityarises from owning a home.

Any man who secures a suitablehouse in Winter Park and has itall paid for, should find both con-fidence and security. In addition,he will enjoy the many other ex-ceptional benefits available in thisthe choicest community life inFlorida if not in the United States.

FROM H. C. WINSLOWThough the stock market has

been steadily dropping, real-; es-tate has been more active in Win-ter Park than in several years. In-vestors feeling that ownership ofWinter Park land is a preferredinvestment have used surplus cashor disposed of other holdings toplace themselves in a more securefinancial situation and live in anoasis of beauty.

What Winter Park has to offerin intellectual entertainment, beau-ty of environment, location forgolf, hunting, fishing, and in anhour and a half drive to the ocean—cannot be equalled by any oth-er town.

A home in .Winter Park,, is , aninsurance policy for social securitythat will pay better dividends inhealth, happiness and a longer lifethan any other investmenb onecould make.

H. C. CONEBUILDING CONTRACTOR

Winter Park, Florida

HANNIBAL SQUARE LIBRARYA recent issue of the Library

Journal contained an interestingreport of the Hannibal Square Li-brary here in Winter Park. Builtas a memorial to the late Mrs. Ed-win Osgood Grover, it is an artis-tic modern, fireproof little buildingon ground given by the city ad-joining the grade school for Negrochildren. The building is a centerfor various activities of the coloredpeople, there being' a Saturday Aft-

ernoon Story Hour, a vacationreading club, Game Night once aweek, and the Mothers' Club week-ly meetings. Since the library wasopened a year and a half ago, therehas been an attendance of approx-imately 5,000, all colored. The Li-brarian reports that no books havebeen lost or unnecessarily injured,a good report for a community of1,500 negroes, most of whom hadnever before seen the inside of alibrary. The resources of the Li-brary include about 1,700 carefullychosen books and magazines, large-ly gifts from interested friends.In this season of packing up andclosing houses, perhaps you maycome across books which you feelwould be appropriate for the littlelibrary. Any gifts would be great-ly appreciated, and would help tomake the equipment more com-plete.

PROGRESS REPORTEDFOR CHURCH ADDITIONProgress is being made towards

the erection of the CongregationalChapel and Educational and Com-munity building.

Gradually gifts are coming infrom, members and friends for thebeautiful and usable religious andcommunity building which theCongregationalists plan to erect inconnection with the main sanctu-ary.

Mr. J. Gamble Rogers, II, has de-signed a commodious structurealong colonial lines which will bebuilt adjacent to the present brickstructure and extend to the line onChurch Street. It will be com-pletely equipped to serve the needsof the church and the communityfor many years to come.

Our city has needed just thiskind of building, one which whileserving the definite needs of theold and young of Congregationalchurch, would also be available forother community groups.

A citizens committee is to beformed which will interview publicminded citizens who believe in thekind of work which has been out-lined above. It is believed that

there are many people in our com-munity who would be pleased tohave some share in the erectingand perpetuating of this historicorganization as it moves into newand helpful spheres of action andservice.

This week the Woman's Union ofthe church pledged $1,500.00 astheir share in pushing forward thisprogram. They already had givengenerously both as a group and asindividuals but desired to add thisextra impetus at this particularmoment.

There is a real chance that thebuilding can be erected this sum-mer if memorial gifts for thechapels or other parts of the build-ing are secured. So great hasbeen the belief in the project thatmany people, not members, havemade voluntary contributions. Ap-proximately $10,000 is needed toassure the building for next win-ter's work.

HISTORICAL BIRTHDAYAT VIRGINIA INN(Continued from Page 1)

names of Loring A. Chase, OliverE. Chapman, and two or threefriends who attended that firstdinner as guests of Mr. and Mrs,Rogers, on Saturday, April 8, 1882,a curious coincidence of dates.

After the blessing by Rev. HenryMowbray, Harry M. Sinclair, chair-man of the committee on arrange,ments spoke briefly, giving someamusing anecdotes of certainquaint characters among the earlysettlers of Osceola, the first settle-ment on Lake Mizell, dating backto pre-civil war days. He paid atribute to the men and women whovisioned Winter Park and theirvaliant efforts to bring theiv dreamto reality. Mr. Sinclair then intro-duced Mrs. George E. Warren aspresiding officer. Daughter ofFrancis Bangs Knowles, prominentfounder of Winter Park and Rol-lins College, Mrs. Warren spokeof her great happiness in attend-ing the meeting, commemoratingthe founding of the town so dearto her family and herself and thenintroduced Mayor J. F. Moody whogave greetings of appreciationfrom the city, expressing his plea-sure in the celebration and faithin the future of Winter Park.

Dr. Hamilton Holt was next in-troduced by Mrs. Warren. Hespoke on Francis Bangs Knowles,his great vision, faith and liberali-ty, his eminent qualities as a manand a citizen. Dr. Holt called onothers to follow his fine exampleand continue his good work, echoedin his daughter's generosity in thegift of Knowles Memorial Chapeland its continued beautification andsupport.

Rose Mills Powers read her poem"Our Pioneer" commemorating thecentennial of the birth of LoringA. Chase, and paying tribute to hisgreat achievement in making hisdream city come true. This poemis printed elsewhere in this issue.

Joshua C. Chase, past presidentof the Florida Historical Society,

read a paper on "Recollections ofLoring A. Chase" which was a per-sonal linking up of today .withyesterday, in his vivid descriptionof the pioneer days in the wilder-ness when, as a youth, he took thelong journey from Sanford to visithis ok! bachelor cousin in the littlenew settlement on Lake Osceola.Mr. Chase's story sparkled withhumor and human interest, as wellas being an authentic historicaldocument.

Mrs. A. E. Dick read amusingdoggerel verses from LoringChase's scrapbook, written on thelaying of the first rails for theSouth Florida Railroad.

Irving Bacheller presented toDr. Holt as President of RollinsCollege, the portrait of Joshua C.Chase, "my friend'and good citizenof Winter Park," giving highpraise to his distinguished andconstructive career of over half acentury in this state.

This striking portrait by JohnRae, art instructor at Rollins Col-lege, is a good likeness and wellposed, and will be added to the col-lection in the Rollins Library.

Assisting Mr. Sinclair in spon-soring the commemoration of thisevent, were Carter Bradford, Dr.Helen M. Cole, Sherwood Foley,Clara Louise Guild, A. J. Planna,Louis C. McKinney, William Pel-ham, Hiram Powers, HarrySchenck, Dr. James B. Thomas,Frederick D. Trismen and Mrs. C.Fred Ward.

The exhibit of historical itemsof Winter Park was arranged byMiss Delia Frances Northey, cata-logei1 of the Union Catalog ofFloridiana. Assisting Miss North-ey were Dr. Edwin 0. Grover, AliceGuild, Watt Marchman, Henry B.Mowbray, Marilouise Sterrett andWilliam F. Yust.

visitors are finding the temptationstronger to stay in Florida longerthan the winter months. This isan acquired taste, of course, likeolives and certain kinds of cheese,and it is hardly to be expected thatpeople who come down from theNorth to escape the snow and icewill easily be converted to the ideaof staying on into the Spring.Their natural inclination is to re-turn to their Northern home assoon as the real mean months aregone.

But there are many conversionsto the idea of staying. The manytimes that friends have gone hometoo soon and run into late snowsand long dreary stretches of coldand damp—often causing colds ifnot pneumonia, helps to put more

ROLLINS TO HELP(Continued from Page 1)

during our lifetime tolerance andrespect for minorities, unflinchingdefense of civil liberties, and thepromotion of scholarship shall goforward in this country. We be-lieve these things, and believingthem search for a method of ex-pression. . Out of Germany, Italyand the little dictatorships of Cen-tral Europe comes a pitiful armyof refugees', including many youngstudents with skills of which theyare as yet only dimly aware andwhose lives stretch before themwith little hope of fulfillment.Singled out by an unkind destiny,they have become students withoutteachers, orphans without homes.To meet their need, colleges inevery corner of America are offer-ing refuge to students fleeing fromprisons and persecution. Ameri-can young men and .women areproving their understanding of thedistress of young exiles and theirgenerosity towards them."

Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Uni-versities of California, Virginiaand Kentucky, Smith, Mt. Holy-oke, Bryn Mawr, Bennington, Anti-och, Berea, The Florida State Col-lege for Women, and the Univer-sity of Florida are only a few ofthe colleges now -working to takefrom two to twenty.such students.

The Intercollegiate Committeeand International Student Service(of which President Holt of Rol-lins is on the Board) guarantee tobring to this country only studentsof great ability whose achievementsand personality put them on a lev-el with Rhodes Scholars.

Rollins College will give a refu-gee scholarship of $850 for every$550 raised by students, faculty .and friends. The aim. is to bringthree such refugees to the Rollinscampus next fall, from: GermanyCzecho-Slovakia, and Spain. Tothe refugees this will mean: theright .to continue their studies, theexperience of living in a democrat-ic environment, and renewed faithin human goodness. To the fourhundred American students at Rol-lins it will mean: friendship withthese keen-minded young Europ-eans who have lived through cru-cial events, and can make interna-tional conditions and needs real tous; free thought and speech; pro-tection from discrimination ongrounds of race, religion, or po-litical opinion.

Rollins students are making agood beginning—the campus isalive with discussion, and a groupof twenty under the leadership ofRobert Lado, a young Spanishrefugee who is with us this year,is doing all possible—but theirgoal is a high one and time isshort.

Your support in this cause wouldhave a threefold value: educationfor a young refugee; internation-al-mindedness for American stu-dents, strengthening the forcesmaking a free and creative life, inopposition to the growing forcesof oppression.

Friends of Rollins are urged tojoin in this cause. Contributionslarge and small are needed.

Slides werefurnished by the University ofPennsylvania Museum and valuablebooks and prints were loaned byRollins College and the AlbertsonLibrary, Orlando. Among otherthings Mrs. Nash mentioned thaton the walls of the ancient pyra-mids of Safckara are found wordsidentical in structure and meaningwith ancient Persian and Sanskritword-stems, a surprising fact whichhistorians have not yet explained.Mrs. 'Nash recently received a de-gree in Egyptology from the Uni-versity of Chicago.

NEW IDEAS SHOWN ATRESEARCH STUDIO

The recent exhibition at the Re-search Studio in Maitland underthe direction of Andre Smith em-phasized the importance of thisproject in stimulating new visionsand experimentation in the use ofmaterials. Mr. Smith's own groupof decorative panels in cement rich-ly colored strikingly illustrated theendless capacity of the creativeartist to make beauty out of anymaterial to which he turns hishand. Non-objective forms in artwere presented by an overmanteldone by William McVey, one ofthe resident artists this winter.As an example of the adoption ofnew and unassociated thought fordecorative use this work fulfilledthe challenge to escape from theold accustomed landscapes, sea-scapes and what-not that most peo-ple have come to consider as fillingthe whole world of art. It is ananswer to the command to get outof the rut, but there is some com-fort to the amazed layman in theassurance that this too is only atransition, and that something mayyet come that will make it easierfor the old-timer to fuse algebraicbeauty and spiritual ecstasy. Thetwelve paintings by Harry Shawsuggesting elemental forces weredynamic and intriguing, their un-derlying motive seemingly the over-powering effects of tropical colorand movement.

Following the recent purchase ofthe B. Kellogg Trowbridge proper-ty on Palmer Avenue fronting LakeOsceola by Mrs. C. Griggs Plant,of Cohasset, Mass,, plans are beingmade by J. Gamble Rogers for anattractive residence to be built foroccupancy next Fall.
