T H E w E E CAMPAIGN tor cr SPECIAL VOL. XX UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN 6, NEBRASKA, MARCH 19, 1945 No. 11 $12 500 EQUIPMENT CAMPAIGN IS UNDER WAY Amount to be Raised by the 18th of April Amateur Program Reveals Varied and Unique Talent $12,500 by April 18 is the aim of the 593 students of Union College. With colonels, captains, and lieutenants, and the active support of the entire student body, all is in readiness for the opening of the campaign IRISH PARTY GIVEN BY UPPER DIVISION K.D.L. Shamrocks, Irish brogue, and jolly friendliness made the Shamrock Party, given by the upper division Kings' Daughters League, typical of St. Pat- rick's day despite its being a week early. Fifty partners, selected by matching shamrocks, were welcomed into North Hall parlor by Harriette Sherard, presi- dent of the club. The history of St. Patrick's Day was read from a scroll by Betty Yarwood. "Danny Boy," from a girls' sextette, was followed by a humorous Irish dialogue featuring Irish songs by Bob McMana- man and Orvin Fillman, and Rosella Wiedeman's reading. After Melvin Sample had shown him- self the fastest in reassembling a news- paper, 25 women's hats were displayed at ridiculous angles by the men in the game "Musical Flats." Two jolly Irishmen grinned beside the convenient opening in an adjacent door through which green sherbert and white cake were served. A "thank you" in behalf of the boys was given by Harry Haas. Donald Tarr Wins Grand Prize "Old Mother Hubbard," read by Don- ald Tarr, took the light reading prize and an additional $5.00 grand prize in the Amateur Program of readings, music, and stunts Saturday night, March 17.

Vespers-ELDER F. D. NICHOL. The Academy presented a variety pro- gram Saturday night, March 10, in the college chapel. The main item on the pro- gram was Longfellow's "Courtship of Miles Standish," which was given in pantomime. Ernest Speidcl, Donald Tarr, Edna Maye Alexander, and Robert Loom- er assumed the personages of Captain Miles Standish, John Alden, Priscilla and the Indian messenger, respectively. Bar- bara Versaw was the reader. Two musical numbers, a piano selec- tion by Edna Maye and Lois Marie Alex- ander and a violin solo by Jeanette Hause, preceded the first act of the pantomime. Other special numbers came between the acts. These were "Dutch Dolls" and "Uncle Ned" by the academy chorus, "Memories" and "Sing Along" by the girls' trio, and "Minuette" and "March- Tannhauser" by the Academy Orchestra. Two humorous selections entitled "Eat and Grow Thin" and "The Human Organ" followed the last act of the pantomime. . For the closing number Shirley Boyer played Lecuona's "Malaguene" as a piano solo. CO LPORTEUR RALLY CREATES INTEREST IN BOOK WORK The hookmen from the Northern, Cen- tral, and Southwestern Unions were guests of Union College during the week of March 3-9, the time of the annual Col- porteur. Institute. The well-organized in- struction brought under the direction of Elder J. J. Strahle, of the General Con- ference, will doubtless be of definite value to the large group who expect to be in the field this summer. The colporteurs (past, present, and future) provided real entertainment as well as important information during the various chapel, worship, and special in- struction periods. Alpha Tau Sigma of- ficially opened the week of instruction by presenting the value of the work and some of its problems in a round table discussion during chapel Monday morn- ing. The faculty organized an interesting program of experiences for Wednesday. Elder Strahle conducted this week of sales instruction very ably, striving al- ways to give the students the greatest possible help in such a short time. He Lid much- strcss-open-actual-case prob- lems, to prepare the new colporteurs for the work, and to give the experienced workers new ideas for overcoming ob- jections. The field secretaries of the various states are optimistic concerning the active interest shown. Some of the states are ex- pecting to have two or three times as many student colporteurs this year as they did last year. The reports from the regular colpor- teurs out in the field look encouraging; and with the added vigor and determina- tion of the 200 more students who plan to go out this summer, the mid-west should be filled with benefitial literature. Monday, March 19. The two-fold purpose of the campaign, additional recreational facilities and equipment for the music building, are incentives worth striving for. A large pro- portion of the students at Union are en- rolled in music courses, and everyone is interested in recreation. Our President says: "Equipment for the development of the physical in edu- cation is just as important as mental or spiritual. Union College is planning a complete educational program for our youth." Wilbur Chapman stands at the head of the organization as general chairman. Vice-chairmen ( colonels) and conference heads (captains) are in charge of local student groups. Recently appointed to assist the cap- tains were the lieutenants. They are as follows: Colorado, Olivet Atwood, Joe Barnes, Evelyn Beebe, and Fred Metz; Kansas, Art Soper, Mary Louise Love- less; Missouri, Roger Helmendach, Mary Ellen Owen; Nebraska, Adrian Woods, Betty Yarwood, Marcus Payne, Janet Campbell, Daniel Covrig, Blossom Church, Vernon Heglund, Harriett John- son, Don Madison, and Herbert Hill; Iowa, Madeleine Douma, Violet Lewis, and James Mershon; Minnesota, Harold Cherne.

We all enjoy good music. We all would enjoy more fun combined with education. Let's all get behind the campaign and do something about it! 4,1 By Dr. E. M. Hause With the Russians across the Oder, the Yanks across the Rhine, the British on the road to Mandalay, and the Marines in possess'on of Iwo Jima, the battles of the globe definitely shape up toward a '4 � � United Nations victory. Lest war's end come and catch the victors unprepared for planning peace, the statesmen of articu- late nations are engaging in momentous conferences, making inestimably impor- tant decisions and forging documents of paramount consequences to future global welfare. During the last fortnight the nations of the New World, Argentina absent, have written history once more by creating at Mexico City a laboratory for regional ex- perimentation in peace. The western hemisphere, noted for the last fifty years for radical practices in the establishment and maintenance of peace through hemi- spheric cooperation, has agreed to tem- porary mutual guarantees of boundarieL. and independence. The Latin nations would have made this Act of Chapultepec permanent had not the delegates from the United States acted sagaciously. Such a commitment on our part requires Senate approval; to ask for time for the Senate's consent might have been interpreted as a "Gringo" rebuff, so a promise has been given that as soon as possible the tem- porary Act of Chapultepec will be writ- ten into permanent treaties for Senate ratification. How can such regional guarantees of boundaries and independence be fitted into United Nations post war plans? Will Great Britian and Russia interpret the move as a Yankee effort to establish a sphere of influence here in the western continents? Can the United States con- sistently oppose Russian and British (Continued on page 4) Academg Produces "Courtship of Miles Standish" at Program s N A 0 F �.0 � fiery a4e gefrtio441 � _e � and friew C �.0 � 3C � Edtorial Staff Editor-in-chief —__—______— � _____ Josephine Griffin '46 Managing Editor � Delmer Holbrook '46 Associate Editor________. _________________ ____ _ Cathleen Chilson '46 Associate Editor � Marcus Payne '46 Social Editor ________________ _______________ Hilda Fern Remley '46 Social Editor � Julius Korgan '45 Art Editor ___________ � ___________ Orris Foster '48 Feature Editor _______ _______ __________ � _--____.Eileen Mayberry '45 Proof Reader � Audra Ching '48 Photographer � Gerald Atkins '47 Editorial Advisor ______ W.

Well, people with less to do will just simply have to swing this one.. Have such thoughts as these entered your mind, too, fellow student? Then let's dispense with them! For we can help. At the wage rate of 75 cents per hour, it would take over 30 hours of the time of each of us to raise the set amount. Aren't you thankful we don't have to resort to such means? But by expending a small fraction of that amount of time in the ways suggested by our leaders, we shall easily reach the top. If we all lift, the load won't be heavy. Because we are genuine Unionites—in order to equip the handsome new music building soon to be ours—and in anticipation of pleasant hours to be spent in the pool and on the tennis courts--let's CAMPAIGN TODAY; TOMO1U1OW—PLAY! What do you say? J. G. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: I like the paper very much, especially for one reason: I think pictures in a paper are like windows in a home, make it more delightful. I like the many pictures and hope you will continue to have them . . . . Sincerely yours, T. G. Herr Decatur, Ill. Editor's Note A clever comparison. By the way, credit for the pictures goes in large measure to our staff photographer, Gerald Atkins. We are glad you enjoy the paper, and hope as much may be said for other former students. Editors: Can you explain the headlines in the last CLOCK TOWER that a very large per cent of students came here because of the music department? Inquisitive Dear Editor; I'd like an explanation of the statement that appeared in the last CLOCK TOWER saying that the music department attracted 80 per cent of the enrollment . . . . Respectfully, Music Student Editor's Note If you will check the number of students connected with the music department for private lessons, class work, and organizations, you will find the basis for this statement. It was not meant, as you seem to infer, that this one department brought 80 per cent of the students here; but, rather, that approximately that number of the students enrolled are enough "attracted" by the music department to take some work with it. 0 I 2 � CLOCK TOWER, MARCH 19, 1945 CLOCK TOWER STAFF � With Only 62 Days Till Graduation � )C � Red Cross Drive In the recent Red Cross Drive, headed by Captain E. M. Hause, Union College raised $292.34; the goal was $280.00. Of this total the faculty and staff con- tributed $232, South Hall $27, North Hall $15, and the village $12. CLUBS TO SEE "MARCH OF TIME" Two newly-released "March of Time" films will be shown tonight, March 19, at 9:00 p.m. at a joint meeting of the Travelers' and International Relations Clubs. Rosella Weideman Another missionary's daughter in the senior class is Rosella Weideman, born at Cehu in the Philippine Islands. How- ever, most of Rosella's life was spent at Manilla, where her parents moved. Occasionally Rosella would take time from her education and make long trips with her father up into the hills where the head-hunters roamed. She was al- ways regarded as a curiosity by these people and would have to patiently en- dure their feeling and examining her and the clothes she wore. Miss Weideman's academic educa- tion at the Eastern Academy, Shanghai, was interrupted repeatedly by the Chin- ese-Japanese War. She moved with the academy to a place near Hong Kong to "haunted" Chinese mansions. Here again her lessons were frequently inter- rupted by the destructive war that was being carried on just 15 miles from the school. Finally in 1939 the Weideman's returned on furlough and Rosella gradu- ated from Oak Park Academy. This spring she will graduate with a major in business administration and minor in home economics. She has no definite dislikes, but thor- oughly delights in sports, watching people, travel, and airplanes. She has worked her way through college, but occasionally she finds time for her hob- bies—sewing, knitting, crocheting, as well as collecting stories, sea shells, stamps, and things for a hope chest. Adrian Woods Adrian Woods was horn in Minnesota among the beauties of the woods and lakes. After finishing high school he spent two interesting years in the Red River Valley selling "Wear Ever" cooking uten- sils. The experience gained thus was helpful in the two following summers of canvassing. Adrian has spent much time in the great out-of-doors and has learned to love it. He- enjoys boating and swimming in the clear, blue water of the northern lakes, or hiking through the deep woods. He also enjoys art, music, and nearly any kind of creative work. His hobby is photography. Speaking of dislikes, insincerity and irreverence are foremost. Mr. Woods is majoring in religion, with a minor in history. After graduation he is going to Minnesota to begin his work in the ministry. His ambition is to devote his life to the winning of souls. "Champion's Write" Shown On Monday evening, March 5, Beta Kappa met in the dark room of the Ad- ministration Building where the techni- color film "Champions Write" was shown. As is no doubt suggested by the name, the film showed the champion writers of shorthand in action. It was thrilling to see these champions write front 200 to 280 words per minute, and could not hut insrne the members of Beta Kappa to strive toward a h;gher speed and greater efficiency. Esther Minner Esther was born in Lima, Peru, as the daughter of missionary parents, Elder and Mrs. L. D. Minrer. Her education was indeed a problem. Her mother taught her for six years, and then she attended Chillian Training School, Lynnewood Academy a:d La Sierra College. But for the past two years she has been attending Union College. Being a missionary's daughter, Esther has had to be happy even though separat- ed from her parents (row in South Ameri- ca). She is bubbling over with fascinat- ing experiences, one of which is centered around her boat taps. O.i o-.e boat which had no rail around the deck, her parents thought three-year-old Esther had fallen overboard, until sometime later they found her sleeping below deck. Miss Minner is fond of strawberries, malts, sleep, and music. ations, people that "gripe," and Sachiko's rag-doll are obnoxious to her. In her spare time she collects poetry and plays the piano. Esther intends to be a registrar or a foreign missionary. (Esther works in the office of the registrar now.) Esther is majoring in religion and minoring in edu- cation, Spanish, and home economics_ Mrs, Mary Ann Woods One cold day in Ja.niary of the year 1924, a baby .girl was born at Hinsdale Sanitarium in Illinois to Elder and Mrs. Johnson. The blond, sparkling blue-eyed little girl brought a lot of joy to the John- son home. More fortunate than same minister's children, Mary Ann was lo- cated in one snot long enough to receive most of her education in Nebraska. How- ever, she did spend two years at Oak Park Academy, Iowa. Though Mary Ann claims to have lived a very prosaic life, there are many stu- dents at Union College who can remem- ber on Fridays when their laundry was returned to them, Mary Ann had done some "extra" starching on clothes that required ro starching. Also, being a young bride; she has cooking problems we're sure. However, Adrian is very loyal and refrains from revealing the course of his digestive upsets. (This is slightly exaggerated.) Mary Ann has many capabilities; among them are her musical talents. She plays both the piano and violin well. Be- sides her music, she enjoys ice cream, hooks, and macaroni and cheese. Jazz and swing music and cold weather top her list of d'slikes. She is a collector of poetry, and wants to learn as much as possible. Mrs. Woods is a history and English major, and has an education minor. Bit 0' Wit Bill Dupper knows why some hard- boiled eggs don't crack as easily as others: They must have been picked green. IF Does Virginia Craig make a habit of carrying graham crackers to school with her? We. probably wouldn't have known Ernest Herr Ernest Ilerr was born and raised on the wide-open prairies of North Dakota. He and his brother, Elmer, have been very close pals, aid they are both gradu- ating this sprig together from Union Vernon Koenig Like Ed, his brother, Vernon was born and raised on a big farm in North Dakota (strange coincident,—?). He also gradu- ated from Sheyenne River Academy. This spring he � at Union with a religion major and speech, history, and education minors. Since Mr. Koenig and his wife have been occupying an apartment this winter, he finds a new hobby is dish-washing in place of bachelor's pursuits. After all, why shouldn't he help? Surely the cream- ed rice and homemade bread that his wife makes every Friday night compen- sates for his efforts. It happens that intolerance, im- patience, and unreasonableness are Ver- non's pet peeves. These fine characteris- tics were firmly established and partially forced into Vernon by his staid older sister, who we hear often used a dust-pan to assist her in her disciplinary task. Vernon will also never like mules. When he was inst a little boy. he was playing about 200 yards from the house one evening when a neighbor passed the farm with a herd of mules. Just one brae front those animals sent Vernon scurrying to the house in a split second. In the future Mr. Koenig hopes to finish his education at the seminary, and be a definite instrument for soul-winning. This coming year he intends either to teach in an academy or intern in some conference. al,ont it had they not dropped to the floor in Spanish class. Harry says the "battle of the hats" proved more strenuous than any of his previous encounters. (With reference to a row came promoted by upper division K. D. L.) JP Remark in North Hall: Where is the mail if it isn't in, and it isn't out? • • College. They both graduated front Shey- enne River Academy also. Though both of the brothers have a true sense of humor, and enjoy smiling, they vary in other respects. Ernest dis- likes irreverence and disorder. Where there is good music, you'll find "Ernie." You see, music is his hobby, and he can play any number of instruments. Food, (especially that prepared by his wife) is also one of Emie's weaknesses. Finding the solution to a tough prob- lem or completing a task successfully gives him the greatest joy. Therefore, his ambition is to be successful. In Jure Mr. Herr, with his wife and young son, will begin interning in the Texico Conference. With his well-rounded education (relig'on and business majors and music and history minors) combined with natural ability, he is bound to be � • successful. CLOCK TOWER, MARCH 19, 1945 � Navy Nile aid UNIONITES � khaki � [ � COMPOSE � Your Campaign Leaders Say 4 A Serviceman Re-Views Union By Gilbert Jorgensen, Ph. Al. 2/c I just had to come back for a glimpse of Union College before shipping out, for it has been nearly two years since I was here last. I see the chapel is still facing the same way, though. That new science building is just the thing for people like Wayne Ramsey, but I'm looking forward to the new music hall to play my bass fiddle in when I get back. I've run into several other Unionites who are looking forward to that reunion. Everyone asks me how it seems to be back. Of course, it's great, but it's rather astonishing also to see my Sophomore buddies going around as dignified seniors —and their wives with them. I'm so glad Week of Prayer coincided with my leave. The chapel services were just what all of us fellows long for when our spirits are low. They will be something to remember until I return. When the day comes for all of us to come back to Union, I don't think any of those occasional vacant seats will be- long to a soldier, sailor, or marine. Gilbert Jorgensen Ph. M. 2/c Shakespeare Writes U. S. Naval Training Station Newport, R. I. "To the Editor: "I am here in training to go aboard a heavy cruiser. We have been going to school studying radar and fire-control for a month and a half now, and it is very interesting. I'm being transferred to the hospital corps soon, however, which is much more desirable work. "I'm with a group of fine fellows and some are very interested in the Bible.

JP JP It seems that surprises will never cease, for on Thursday evening Viola Voth, Ellen Widmer, Ella Horeb, and Bonnie Lindquist entertained Lillian Lit- vin. Ice cream and cake were provided for the celebration. Union's Inspiration Half a century is gone; Union's Clock Tower stands, Symbol of God's work upon Many foreign sands. Melodies of sacred chimes. Ring in that good tower, Challenge youth to fill their time Serving God with power. Golden Cords with strong appeal Honor those before; Call for those who'll help to heal Hearts distressed and sore. Stately tower, and Golden Cords, Tolling bells on vesper nights, Call to you with one accord. To do your best, dear Unionites. - -Melvin Sample Thoughts ( A poem after the style of Words- worth, composed by a member of the class in "Romantic 'Movement.") O Day, so dreary that I fail To see the joys you bring Beneath your fog, a filmy veil! And yet you seem to sing To me the thoughts I could not know, Were skies a glorious hue Of intermingled clouds that blow Across the magic blue. O Thoughts unbound by Nature's spell, Return to me again, And bring the happiness that fell As blessings in the rain— Fell from the cloud of mystic dew, Within my soul to be The sweetest peace I ever knew, A warm tranquility. —Frances Price The Podium A booster tour group went to Enter- prise Academy, Kansas, on the week-end of March 9-11. The group consisted of Kenneth Fletcher, tenor; Norman Roy, pianist; and Robert Warner, cornetist. Professor Adrian Lauritzen accompanied the cornet and vocal solos. The Music Department reminds you that the Band Concert comes March 24, followed by an Orchestra Concert on March 31. She's little but mighty, full of pep and enthusiasm; she's a student teacher, and plays the marimba, piano, or violin,— sings, too. Who? Grace Burke. Mobridge, South Dakota, is home to Grace. She is a graduate of Plainview Academy. After one year at Union, Grace postponed her college education for two years and played for an evangelistic ef- fort with Elder A. A. Leiske, and later directed the music department of Shey- enne River Academy. She's back at Union now to better prepare herself for further work. Excelsior—Grace! Jack Needs Play By Hilda Fern Remley, Southwestern Union Vice-Chairman All work and no play makes Jack any- thing but a bright boy. What about Mary? Doesn't she need some recreation? Soon, she, too, will become dull and colorless without playing a little bit. (Please don't be too shocked to learn that a col- lege girl plays, but she does—or needs to if she doesn't.) So you see why we here at Union feel that this new recreation and building pro- gram will be of benefit to us, and to you students who plan to be future Union- ites. Think of how refreshing it'll he to cool off in the new swimming pool after a hard test in Trigonometry or Freshman Comp.! Some of us from farther south will get a real thrill when the tennis court is flooded next winter, for ice skat- ing is something we've read about but have never had the pleasure of partici- pating in. Those of you who are looking forward to a spacious music building will not be disappointed, for one of the end products of this campaign will be a music room where music lovers can listen to beauti- ful recordings; or, if you prefer, a practice room will be available where you can play your favorites without being told this is quiet period. So future students, alumni, and friends, may we count on you to help us to make this campaign a success? We will he depending on you all for real support. Mrs. W. Holbrook stopped on her way home from California to visit Marjorie and Delmer. A highlight of the visit was a supper in the spread room Thursday evening to which the family invited Betty Jaynes, Betty Merickle, Arlene Vande- Vere, Gloria Olsen, and Mike Loewen. It was too had that Mr. Holbrook didn't arrive in time for the spread,—he came Friday. JP JP JP There was a birthday supper in the spread room Wednesday evening, March 7, for Joyce Long. A delicious meal of macaroni and cheese, gluten steaks, creamed peas, deviled eggs, celery, ice cream, and cake was served. The others present were Ruby Ann Trogden, Vera Jordan, Margaret Peckham, Edna Flem- mer, Ivan Pearson, Daniel Covrig, Daniel Peckham, Byron Blecha, and Eddie Herr. Of, By, and For the Students By Wilbur Chapman, General Chairman The College Board has paid a very high respect to the ability of the student body in asking them to raise $12,500 for the Building and Equipment Fund. Only once before has the student body of Union College been called upon to raise so large an amount. The spirit of Union is the spirit of prog- ress. It is this spirit of progress which dictates that we should launch this cam- paign at this time and for this purpose. This campaign demands the loyalty of every student. It will be a campaign of the students, by the students, and for the students. However, this does not ex- clude the faculty, for they too will have a very active part in the success of this campaign. Collect the Drops By Wayne Olson, Cosmopolitan Vice- Chairman "What good is my $1.00, or even $5.00, that I have to put into this cam- paign? If I had $25 or more, I'd gladly contribute; but my small sum is merely a "drop in the bucket"! Many a time this trite excuse has been a discouraging factor in a campaign. But friends! Enough drops can make a flood!! The "cosmos" are the group that know just where some of these "drops of wealth" may be found around the globe. Can you imagine a Hawaiian or Floridan not being willing to bend every effort to enable Union College to get a swim- ming pool? Or any Californian who would not go "all-out" in order to get a tennis court to remind him of home? A progressive college needs a place for physical recreation, as well as spiritual and mental opportunities. The cosmos will do their share in gathering the "drops" in order to make their campaign a "flooding" success! Central Union is Half By Eileen Mayberry, Central Union Vice-Chairman Without us, the Central Union, there would be no campaign. Not only do we comprise half of the college, but we will bring in fifty per cent of the money. Just think, you students of Union, without us there would be only half as much re- creational equipment, and the music hall would be half empty. In our possession we have the lofty aims inspired by the huge Colorado Rockies; we have the broad vision given to us by the wide open spaces in Kansas. Our headquarters, Nebraska, forms an excellent home base on which to work. We have the energetic pioneering spirit from Wyoming, and with our Missouri- ans, "we'll show you" that we can reach our goal of $6000. We students from the Central Union will work, and we'll work hard, and we'll not stop working until the task is finished and we've reached our goal. Fulfilling the Purpose By Salisbury Zytkoskee, Northern Union Vice-Chairman "The general purpose and object for which this incorporation is formed is to promote the principles of true higher edu- cation, and to provide the proper facili- ties for the harmonious development of the intellectual, moral, and physical powers of mankind." The foregoing words are quoted from the Articles of Incorporation of Union College. It is still the purpose of Union to provide this three-fold education. Opportunities for greater service lie ahead of Union College. Now is the time to increase the facilities of our college in order that she may more ably fulfill her original purpose. Do you, fellow church members of the Northern Union, want Union College to be more able to meet the challenge of the post-war period?

As ever your academy snooper, Bob Widener OLD MARS-Y EARTH (Continued from page 1) spheres of influence in Europe and Asia if we become a party, even at the request of Latin America, to such a scheme? How could the nations of the Americas resort to armed force against an aggressor and not violate the tentative United Nations proposal that no punitive action may be taken in regional agreements without the approval of the World Security Council? By refusing to approve of an infra-Ameri- can action against Argentine, could not Great Britian through the Security Coun- cil protect her old commercial friend Ar- gentine? The United Nations plans imply an authorization of such a regional or- ganization as set up at Mexico City, but in order to answer these questions de- tails must yet he worked out. The coming conference of the United Nations at San Francisco will certainly give attention to these unique problems now being raised in this area of the world, and there may be created a federation of regional organizations to handle prob- lems appropriate for regional action, al- locating to the United Nations Security Council authority to deal with matters of world concern only. Such a compromise would hasten the acceptance of global plans for peace by those nations who had feared their sovereignty would be en- dangered by loss of freedom to act in vital local matters.

At doubles the outcome is still doubtful with three teams rated as even contenders for first place. But indoor sports are rapidly taking a back seat—baseball, archery, and, yes sir, even horseshoes are suddenly gaining popularity,—all with a full quota of broken windows and strained muscles. r. 11 CALVERT STREET PHARMACY Drugs — School Supplies Fountain Service 4-2242 � 48th & Calvert St. � V � 4- •- a.
