What is Westminster? This could be a very interesting question. Some of us have a very conceited attitude about it. Is Westminster a place where a girl goes to get a man, or is it a place where she can get an education? Do we come here to study, learn to mingle with other people and enjoy ourselves? Or, do we come here for social life, keeping an average just barely high enough to stay in school? What was your purpose when yoy decided to come to Westmin-stJf- f Most of us came here because of an active interest in learning a useful art. We wfit toifrnite with other students wm a like interest in the ways of Westminster. Some of our numbers came here because they did not like the thought of going to Avork at the age of seventeen. Others came because their parents wanted them to continue in school and get a college diploma. Which kind of a person are you? Are you in the majority, or do you do things half-heartedl- y? Most of us are guilty of not supporting school functions. We realize that we had a losing football team this fall, but did we support it? No; we had more men sitting on the bench than we had spectators in the stands. We only had one game where the spectators outnumbered the players. That is not good! In half of our games our cheering section was outmanned by that of our opponent school. Is that good Westminster spirit or could it be that we have some fair weather supporters? We have a fine basketball season coming this winter. Lets support our team to a winning season. Lets show others and ourselves what kind of spirit we can have Lets have a more spirited school loyalty. Support the school ac- tivities. Dont be L. J. a dead-head- !

Panel leaders were : Miss Eva Lewinson, Ralph Lu-bec- k, Jack Hurd and Lincoln An- derson. Great Britains latest move in her efforts to solve her economic difficulties was the devaluation of the pound from $4.03 to $2.80. The economic crisis was caused by lack of balance between what she has to buy for dollars and what she can sell for dollars in payment. Although Great Britain never exported as many goods as 6he imported, the balance between the value of her imports and her exports was made up with her intangible exports, such as shipping services, marine insurance, returns from foreign investments in the form of dividends, banking fees, etc. But in World War II Britain lost her overseas investments anil much of her empire. -- DevaluationTnakes British goods cheaper. In this way Britain expects to sell more foods to the United States and buess, since the price of American goods will be higher in the same proportion. Of course, these resufe will be achieved only if prices are kept in line, production costs are reduced, efficiency increased, and industry the effects of the expanded. Su-fa- r devaluation 'have been mild. Prices of British goods in this country are declining gradually, but not as much as the 30.5 per cent of the pound devaluation. For the British, devaluation means higher prices and a lowering of their economic standard. The wheat for bread, essential machinery, raw materials all these must be purchased with dollars at a higher price. Nevertheless, the move lias been considered as a wise one, and it offers a temporary remedy to Britains' present economic troubles. Pedro Delgado.
