BIG WEEK AT MAPLEWOOD
Then tn
Monday evening, April 27. it was
my privilece to join the Maple-
wood family in their final are
rangemets for the Bix Week Field
Day. Brethren Dirksen and Molen
dy had led out at chapel that day
in an enthusiastic program en-
couraging the students to take pars
in the field day. As carly as 7:13
on the morning of the 28th autos
bepan to depart in every direction
bearing groups of students and
teachers to their designated fields
of work. More than seventy per-
sons, including those of the fac:
ulty who could leave and the
conference workers, took part in
this missionary day. The cars that
were offered for use by the church
members. and the presence of sev-
eral of these with us were much
appreciated.
Toward evening the weary bw
happy groups began lo returm.
The last car did not return until
When the returns were re-
the usual “experience

ported at
meeting,” it was found that nearly
500 books had been sold, which,
considering the general tinaneicl
depression. was fully as satisfae-
tory as the 1930 effort, {houeh a
few dollars short of the totals for
that year.
Worthy of mention is the fact
that the highest individual stu-
dent records were made by Olive
Steele, Henry Peterson and by
Roland Olbrick who last year fail-
a to sil one book.
We rnould not forget the spien-
did sark lunches prepared hy the
matron for cach of the field work-
ors, nor the bountiful supper so
much appreciated by the returning
workers.
The day was a profitable one for
those taking part, and nouch ood
should result from ithe distribution
of this wood literature.

For several reasons the memboer-
