"More and more people," he said, "seem to think that security has a high value; that with security most of our problems will be solved. I tell you that individual and social desola- tion lies along that line. This country was not originally settled nor was it subsequently made strong by people who were looking for security. . . . Let us all face facts. There are real perils in security itself. No one can possibly achieve the kind of contentment that all should enjoy in the later years of life who has not taken chances all along the way. If you young people are going to live life so that it will really pay out, you will have to live it with courage, in the spirit of adven- ture, and at times at your peril."

Students live and work in attractive dormitory rooms, mostly singly. In this double room, with bay window looking out on the court, live Freshmen Ruth M. Erd- man, daughter of Mrs. Julia Burstein Erdman '22 of Brooklyn, and Phyllis Bender of Jackson Heights.

One of the attractive lounges, with drawing room be- yond. Assistant House Director F. Bertelle Hargrave '41 checks with a housekeeper, Mrs. Wenesca Yenei. Public rooms of the building were decorated and furnished by Henry Bultitude of New York City.

The building consists of three sections arranged in a wide U, north of Balch Halls. Central portion contains a kitchen serving two dining rooms, one for each of the flanking wings, on the first floor. Each wing has its own lounges, drawing rooms, chaperoned quarters, and a general recreation room, with dormitory rooms, utility rooms, and smaller gathering rooms with snack kitchens on the three top floors. Each

Head residents of the two units each have their own pleasant apartment. Mrs. Augusta Hylan- der takes tea with Mrs. Gladys Barteau, who is the mother of Mrs. R. Harrison Sanford, wife of the rowing coach, in Mrs. Barteau's living room.

Dining rooms are attractively decorated and lighted, and arranged with tables for small groups. Ruth A. Humphrey '49 of Fairport sets the head resident's table (background) in the easterly unit, under the eye of Mrs. Homer NcMamee (Olive Worden) '31 who is dietitian for the building, with Ruth C. Berkower '49 of Staten Island busy at preparations for the meal. 352 Cornell Alumni News New Womens' Dormitory

Eielden Grace Ίo, long-time Manager of Residential Halls, had much to do with planning the building and designing its equipment. It is named for the mother of President Andrew Dickson White, whom he credited with influencing the de- cision to admit women to Cornell.

Public rooms are small and intimate, beautifully decorated. In this drawing room of the westerly unit, Jean L. Seguin '50 of Canandaigua is seated on the davenport while Mary Ann Grammer '48 of Buffalo and her caller, John R. B, Byer, Jr. 349 of Rutherford, N. J., enjoy the piano.

Serving pantries, with specially designed equip- ment in gleaming stainless steel, connect the central kitchen with each of the two dining rooms. They are used for cafeteria service in these days of help shortage. Winifred Burns '42, assistant director of dining rooms for the building, makes a last-minute check before dinner with Vernon Shoemaker '48 of Portland, Pa., Joseph H. Shee- han '50 of Johnstown, and Edward T. Hennessy '50 of Gloversville. All three men are war veterans.

Head Chef Louis Humphrey, who has cooked for University dining rooms since 1925, is proud of his glistening stainless steel kitchen, which was planned and designed by Mrs. Grace. Vegetables and meats are appetizingly cooked in the tiers of pressure lock- ers by steam. At rear is Jesse Rucker, Humphrey's first assistant, at the bank of three steam kettles of various sizes, used for soups, gravies, and vegetables.

Eleven per cent said "7% to 10%." Twelve per cent said "15%, 20% or 25%." Eight per cent said "30% or more." earn? Fifty-seven per cent had no opinion. The actual figure is less than many people think. Even with telephone calls at a record peak, Bell System earnings on the money invested in the business have averaged only a shade over 5^% for the last five years — including the war years. And that's not enough to insure good telephone service. We thought you might like to know in case you have been wondering about telephone earnings.
