Government, Industry

sonnel director ‘of the Eastman
Kodak Company, and Mrs. Marion
Pedraza, connected with the Ex-
amining Division of the United
States Civil Service. Commission,

vocation on April 27, in the Dean-
ery, under the auspices of the Vo-
cational Committee.
Chief subject will be the oppor-
tunities for women in personnel
work in industry and in’ govern-
ment. The training that is neces-
sary, the experience required, the
salaries and the types of work,

section during the First World
War, will stress industrial work.

Commerce,,Mrs. McAnaney has
worked in several banks and for
the past several years she has
been. affiliated with the Eastman

The governmental aspects of the
work will be dealt with by Mrs.

good background for such a dis-
cussion. She has held a position
in the Department of Labor Em-
ployment Service and has _ also
worked as a member of the Social
Security Board. Her work on the
Philadelphia branch of the United
States Employment Service is
also a good basis for her discuss-

en at Vocational Conferences at

es there will be a question period
in which individual problems may
be brought up.
Del Vayo Discusses
Spain and the War |

ue”, stated Mr. Del Vayo. The
symptoms of Nazism,in Spain are
shown by the attitude of the
Spanish press, which is now agt-
tating for-peace. It suggests that
Russia is the menace, and that
the Allies should make a separate
peace with Germany, then build up
a “world coalition” against Rus-
sia. A second danger, Mr. Del
Vayo felt, is Spanish espionage
and airfield construction prepara-
tory to a counter-attack when the
Allies invade.
According to Mr. Del Vayo, the
“Spanish situation projects itself
in South America”, where a “great
Nazi conspiracy,” directed princi-
pally against the United States.
already exists. The Argentine
“coup d’etat” led to the building
up of a real Fascist party in
South America. Mr. Del Vayo
stated that agents are transport-
ed on Spanish ships, a procedure
which the British navy permits
since these are neutral.
Mr. Del Vayo said that in 1936
the Republicans were “fighting
not only in Spain, but for the
same cause for which we are fight-
ing now.” Emphasizing his con-
viction that Hitler will be defeat-
“ed, he outlined the three alterna-
tives for post-war Spain. Monar-
chy, he stated “is finished forever”,
and had its end in the democratic
election of April 14, 1931. The
Franco regime is odious to 90 per
cent of the Spanish .--population.
He feels that the people of Spain
have already chosen democracy as
their form of government and
that their present situation re-
quires thé expulsion of the Nazis
from Spain and a regime with
strong popular support.
Charley’s Aunt
Miss Moore Shows
Conflicts in Poetry
Of Precision, Feeling
Deanery, April 20. Taking as
her theme “The Continual Conflict
in Poetry Between Feeling and
Precision”, Marianne Moore, dis-
tinguished modern poet and Bryn
Mawr graduate, discussed the ef-
fects of precision upon poetic
style.
Miss Moore pointed out that in
order to write readable poetry it
is necessary.to combine precision
and feeling. “Poetry which is all
feeling, ” she said, “becomes cryp-
tic or over-condensed.”
In good poetry, however, pre-
cision appears spontaneous. “When
we think we don’t like art,” stat-
ed Miss Moore, “it is artificial
art.”
Baton
For an example to illustrate Aer
point, Miss Moore took the con-
ductor’s baton. Although the ba-
ton is used with the utmost pre-
cision, it starts so far back that
one cannot tell where the down
beat comes. :
It is true precision, however,
and-not-mere affectation which is
needed in poetry, she pointed out.
“Feeling”, said she, “has departed
from anything that has on it the
touch of affectation.”
“Writing”, concluded Miss
Moore, “is feeling modified by the
writer’s technical and moral in-
sights.”
Following the discussion, Miss
Moore read some of her own poems
and answered questions.

well furnished for an amateur

The production as a whole was a

a magnificent collection of Italian
costumes owned by Mrs. James
McMullan of Germantown, Penn-
sylvania, on May ist at 8:00
o’clock in the Deanery. Pointing
out many fascinating details which
otherwise would pass unnoticed,
Mrs. McMullan will accompany
the exhibition by an informal des-
‘| criptive talk.
Travelling in the most out-of-
the-way corners of Italy and the
adjacent islands, Sardinia in par-
ticular, Mrs. McMullan and her
husband: have spent many years
collecting men’s and women’s cos-
tumes as a hobby.
Many of the ancient examples
of peasant dress date back to pag-
an times. Many also come from
the mountain towns where Amer-
ican soldiers are now fighting.
Worth thousands of dollars, the
collection is shown only for edu-
cational purposes.
