There were the Chinese that we saw at so many places. Most all them were well-dressed, the men as far as I could see, dressed Jus like the men of this country, bu the women mostly wore the high necked, straight silk dresses of thi Chinese.

But the most striking costume saw was on a colored woman at thi bus station in Richmond. She was accompanied by a colored mar. whc was probably her husband and they were met by another Negro man As they went to the car all the people who were waiting for busse. took a good look at the woman' bright blue robe or dress that wa made in three tiers and came down to her ankles.

Then there was the lady on the bus. There wasn't an empty seat so I sat down beside this lady and Daddy found a seat witli a tentleman.

The lady and 1 en- sed in a bit of conversation and discovered that we had both been sight-seeing in Washington. So I asked, "Where is 1 your home?" She. "Boston" and I murmured, "A big city." Maybe my awe for bis city folks was in that murmur, anyhow the lady said a bit reluctantly, "Well, I'm not really from Boston but nobody knows the name of the little town I live in so I just say Boston. Where are you from?" Now most of the time when folks ask that I say, "I live on a farm Lincolnton, North Carolina."

Official groundbreaking ceremonies beginning the erection of the new $600,000 gymnasium were conducted by President John R.

Cimnlngbim at the site of the building on the Davidson College campus Saturday -morning. The brief program included the singing of the college Alma Mater song "All Hail Davidson," the responsive reading of the Scriptures; a prayer; and the shoveling of earth by the president. Grouped about him were members of the administration, Athledc Director Norman W. Shepard, and Jackson. Also in attendance were a number of townspeople and a repre- icntative group from the summer iturient body.

The location of the new gym- lasium is to be immediately north of (lie stadium and on the same central north am! south axis. It vill serve as a recreation center, a social center for the approximate- 1,000 students who are enrolled at Davidson during the regular nnrt a field house. Tlve plans drawn H. Raymond Weeks, of Dur- ym, call for a total floor space 47,000 feet, and overall, outside dimensions of 134 feet by 145 feet. A four-lane swimming pool of regu- sition size, 75x28 feet, will occupy he east wing of the structure.

No ong delays are anticipated in securing the necessary materials. Director Shepard expressed grat- flcation, In his conversation with reporters, that the building will be erected according to the original plan, in spite of the fact that costs have almost tripled since this project was first conceived. In 1942 and 1943, alumni and friends of the college contributed $280,000, which was the amount then thought to ie needed.

Delay of construction has been postponed to this time because of a shortage in material and wartime building restrictions. In a brief iddress, President Cunningham emphasized the great need for this facility on the Davidson pointed out that authorities are confident that the necessary additional funds for this edifice will be secured.
