'They were all filled with the Holy Spirit' (Acts 2:4) and from that time on they were able to do great things in the sight of man and God.

I Receiving Holy Spirit I First, the Holy Spirit was received through repentance.

Lee B. Bratton, At North Texas State Teachers College registration day, 1943, World War II, will be a far cry from registration day J4 years ago, 1918, WorUI War I. In 1918. when Donton collegians talked of taffy-pulls, high top shoes, and new fangled autos, a small unlforrned men- was trained right the campus. The college army group was called the Students' Army Training Corps nnrt it followed an army schedule from reveille at to taps at There n'ns a guard house, but men guarded it with empty guns, for no one ever got around to giving S.

Hello Prance." The social calendar for the year included military war pageants, and regular assemblies reminded students that they were at war. Three sons of Dr. W.

H. Brace, president of I the college at that time, were In Europe. The criMege scene today differs In the physical plant and also in the i trend of war effort. The 1018 total of six brick buildings has grown to nineteen. Spacious dormitories for men anil women have been added; a new library, new music hall, a hospital, a post office, a home management house linve all changed the physical appearance of the campus.

Changed also Is the train' ig for war, no longer marked by the flag- waving of 1918. but rather by the gearing of the college curriculum 1 to the job of producing men and women workers and soldiers. New courses and new teachers have been added in an expansion program which retools the college of- fcrlnisMo war demands. This time, there are no uniforms on the N. T.

S. T. C. campus, though 15 Navy enlistees have been placed at the college to take the government-sponsored primary flight course as n. part of their V-5 Naval Aviation Cadet training.

War-Tijiio Courses The, 1942 wartime courses which might cause consternation among Hie 1918 cds and co-eds Include Industrial design, aircraft sheetmetal work, blue-printing, Engineering, Science, Management War Training courses, pre-flight. Instructors' training, civilian defense Instructors' training, and physical education courses, which teach first aid to all and prepare men students for military service through a phys- cal fitness program. And finally, contrasted with 1918 addition of two new faculty members, the first -opening of a World War II long session will see 11 new faculty members at the Denton Teachers College: Dr. Harland Cross Miller, mathematics; James Prestinl, art; Miss Kathleen Flood, business administration; Miss Elain Cunningham, library service; Dr. Helen Hewett, Myrcvn Taylor, Silvio Sciouti, music; Miss Margaret Middleton and Miss Mary Louis Johnson, home economics; Dr.

Tills island, remaining largely in control of the Vichy French after the original British penetration of last May, now seemed to have been neutralized by the new operations as an Axis threat to'Allied sea communications. French Mobilize Labor At home Vichy had taken another big step toward full partnership with the Axis. Under a compulsory labor decree, readily Interpreted as scheme to mobilize French labor for virtual slave.serv- Ice in Germany, the Laval-Petaln government was prepared for fullest Industrial collaboration with Hitter.

Apart from the Stalingrad action, the Russian front was highly active in the Rzhev area, northwest of Moscow, where the Germans said the Russians continued to attack under artillery cover, and east of Leningrad where the Russians appeared to be trying to improve that city's position for a second winter of siege. Evidently referring to Russian attacks designed to clear a 12-mllc stretch of railway east of Lenin- 1 Brad, and south of Lnke Ladoga, tho Germans reported the failure 1 of several Russian thrusts. The Russians reported that the developing German drive toward the Grozny oil fields of the Caucasus had been halted but that the Germans were bringing up reinforcements for a new assault. Preparing Winter Lino Linked with the all-out assault on Stalingrad were signs that the Germans were preparing a strong- I ly-'ortlfiod winter line in Russia. Even though Stalingrad was already heavily damaged and might be further ruined In battle the city still could shelter a great chunk of the Axis forces.

Hitler needs Stalingrad for that reason as well as Its strategic position over Volga shipping. Information reaching London indicated that the Germans had lost far more than thoy had counted on 1n their drive for Stalingrad. The Red army's retention of a Don River bridgehead in the Kletskayh region, northwest of Stalingrad! had blocked what would have been a less costly flanking maneuver, forcing the Germans to attack Stalingrad the hard The obscurity and contradictions in the battle reports left no way of knowing the precise position at Stalingrad or of judging the sticking power of either side. It was obvious, however, that time was working against Adolf Hitler. Bad weather is at hand.
