But what to put down still remains a problem. After asking several peo- ple what to write I've decided that, since no one reads anything in this column but the calendar, it won't make any difference. Just letting my fancy wander at different times and in different places has brought me up against many ques- tions that need answering. Since revealing my ignorance of the exis- tence of type lice, although I've had many offers of enlightenment. I'm still in the dark. (Somehow I have a feeling the little mites are made of the same thing as these snipes that one enthusiastically sets out to catch in a gunny sack by the light of the moon.) Watching the snails in the biology lecture room aquarium made me won- der whether or not it hurts their feet to walk on sand. And Jeanne Griffin one day asked what kind of people live in the Po valley in Italy. Po people? Looking out the window during a Nebraska dust storm, I can see the flag pole whipping about in the wind. How would it feel to weather a storm up there sometime? A little worse than it does here, five stories off the ground. The tower office does sway and lean on particularly gusty days. though. Have you ever sat in the chapel and listened to the thud that comes each time just before the clock strikes? Its jarring crash is right overhead now reminding me that I have only thirty minutes in which to accom- plish about two hours' work. You who have never been up on the fifth floor or up in the cupola of the clock tower should come up and be inspired by the view. From where I'm sitting I can see—for it's a clear day—the water tower out in Pioneer park, Gooch's mill, Westminster Church 'way down on Sheridan boule- vard, and the Capitol building which overshadows them all. And on dusty days all the distant scenery is hazed over, and my horizon moves in five miles to just behind the College View water tower. Well, you've been let in on the musings of a potential day dreamer. Try this sort of musing some day, but don't let it become chronic. I've been warned that day dreaming is a waste of valuable time. 0 We're not suggesting a census of nine weeks' grades, but did you know that in March, 1927, 23% of the grades of resident young women were - A's - ?

The speaker was of the opinion that America's danger of war - lies not in Europe, but in the Far East. - He believes that Germany will attack the French and British through Hol- land, and as a result seize the Dutch East Indies, the source of rubber and spice for the United States. A large part of Vanderbilt's talk was given to relating anecdotes about kings, ex-kings, and other well-known leaders of foreign countries. 0— DAUGHTER BORN TO KURZ'S Mr. and Mrs. Kurt Kurz of Bison, Kansas, announce the birth of a daughter, Drusilla Viva, on Novem- ber 4. Mr. Kurz graduated from Union in 1938. Golden Cords Purchases Speed Graphic Camera Kenneth Brown Winner In Yearbook Snapshot Contest The staff of the Golden Cords, Union college yearbook, plan that the 1940 annual shall be bigger and better than ever. Several new and interesting features will be included. the whole to be a complete, composite picture of Union college. All class, organization, and club activities are to he represented in pictures. The purchase of a new Speed Graphic news photographer's camera by the Golden Cords is mak- ing this possible. Numerous pictures have already been taken. New features will include: "Life Shots of Seniors," characteristic action pictures of every senior; ''Silver Threads Among the Gold. - a section on graduates of twenty-five years ago; and an index. giving every page on which each person appears in any picture. Each signature, that is, eight consecutive pages. is to go to press as completed. The annual snapshot contest is over. First, second and third prizes for pictures went to Kenneth Brown, Helen Lamb. and Martin C. Bird. Present activity indicates an early appearance of the 1940 year book. Twenty-nine College and Academy Students Here Assisted by NYA Almost $7,000 Yearly Given As College Allotment For Workers in Varied Activities Because Llnion college believes in providing a large amount of work to needy students it is able to expand its interests so as to comply with the objectives of the United States gov- ernment in its various emergency re- lief projects. The National Youth administration allotment for Union col- lege and Union College academy is $3,456.00 per school term. The col- lege absorbs $3,240.00 of this amount. The maximum payment per college student is $20.00 per month while the minimum stands at $10.00. In order to meet the general re- quirements of the National Youth ad- ministration the college obligates it- self to furnish work for at least twenty-four regularly enrolled men or women at $15.00 per month. It is possible and permissable to help a greater number of students by lower- ing the amount paid to each student, but at no time may the total number of students aided fall below twenty- four. The academy is allowed a maximum of four pupils at $6.00 per month or it may help eight by allow- ing each one $3.00 per month. The college students are engaged in the following types of activity: Lab- oratory and class-room assistants, typists, table service in the college dining hall, housekeeping supervision in the department of home economics, campus improvement, recreational ser- vice, library page service, and desk clerks. The last named work provides for all night clerk service in both dormitories. The academy pupils arc engaged in duties of a general cus- todial nature. At the present time twenty-five col- lege and four academy students are being aided by National Ycuth ad ministration funds. Members of Knights Club Entertain Their Friends With Variety Program An entertainment in the South hall dining room was given by the Knights of 72 for their auxiliary members last Saturday evening. Music was fur- nished by an orchestra led by Her- man Kicenske. The program, announced by Ed- ward Seitz, master of ceremonies, included numbers by the orchestra, a marimba solo by Marion Carlson, a reading by Mary Ohnemus, a trum- pet trio composed of Genevieve Mc- Williams, Carlyle Cornell, and Pres- ton Neff, and a song, - God Bless America,'' sung by Nellie Linscott Jensen, wife of a charter member of the organization. In a "question box, - conducted by Lloyd Thomas, prizes were awarded to Robert Swenson, Ethredge Williams, and Rolland Olson. Refreshments consisted of pie a la mode. 0 OMPUS cross-cuts If you want to know what your fellow students' opinions on campus topics are, If you want to find out what sub- jects are being discussed around this school, Read the material under this cap- tion.

Speech Choir in Armistice Program on Peace and War Nineteen Members In Chorus Under Direction Of Speech Instructor Presenting ''Peace: The Twenty Years, - a realistic account of wars since the 1918 Armistice, the Speak- ing choir of Union college appeared last Friday during the chapel program. After a brief comment by Walter Crawford and a short poem, "War," by the group; the choir, under the direction of Mrs. Ivamae Small Hilts, assistant professor of speech, gave the selection which was written by two New York high school students. In the reading, which had solo parts taken by different members of the chorus, statesmen of the Great Powers haggled over peace terms following the Armistice. Then, with the under- current of "Peace, peace, good will toward men,'' the rise of Fascism, National Socialism, dictatorships in big and small European nations, war in Ethiopia, China, and Poland were portrayed. ''Will the nations crush brutally. or will brutality crush the nations?" was the puzzled question asked by the choir. In a mounting fear they asked, as dead soldiers of past wars, "For what shall they die tonight?" And the answer was, "They shall know they have died for greed." Members of the choir, reorganized this fall, are Lois Johnson, Edna Jo Welch, Ruby Bounds, Anna Marie Krieger. Margie Miller, Mary Ohne- mus, Dorothy Cash, Marie Sanders, Ila Nelson, Ruth Croak, Curtis Barger, Eugene Owen, James Stevens, Merrill Thayer, Clyde Kearbey, Herbert Hohensee, Walter Crawford, Howard Gompert, and Stanley Kannenberg. 0 J. H. Roth Speaks Here, Meets Kansas Students Remarking that "character is what we are and what people think we are, - J. H. Roth, president of the Kansas conference of Seventh-day Adventists, spoke to the students in chapel here November 8. Reasoning that "imperfection of character is sin, - the speaker pre- sented his talk on character building under the following main points: I. What is character? 2. Our thoughts determine our actions. 3. The live senses stimulate our thoughts. 4. We should control our thoughts. Students from Kansas net with Elder Roth and ate dinner together at a special table that noon. Examinations Cause of Dazed Looks, Blues, And Renewed Resolutions Whew! They're all over with, and I guess my college career is. too. That history test was a ''hum clinger." But maybe I should have studied more than two hours for it. And I just wish someone could ex- plain Calvanism or Puritanism, or is it romanticism--well, anyway, I wish I knew what it was. These post mortems are gruesome. I really feel terrible when I think of the mess I made of my Politics exam. but then Jesse Dittberner was mixed up, too, and Ruth Croak seemed sur- prised when Dr. Hagstotz started to dictate the test questions. From all the remarks I've heard, nine weeks exams turned out to be a flop for others besides me. Folks coming over to the dining room after 11:25 classes wore various express- ions. Some of them rushed in as usual, others dragged along absent- mindedly. Why, Lloyd Thomas was almost late last Tuesday, and all dur- ing dinner he muttered about "genes, epistasis, and lethal factors - --terms associated with genetics, so he said. Along with about 397 other Union college students I've decided to be more consistent in my daily lesson preparation. But it's hard to forego an hour of tennis or one or two hours of basketball and use that valuable time for study, isn't it? Boys' Town Citizens Entertain Men's Club Town Founded 22 Years Ago Covers 440 Acres Near Omaha Boys and four of their advisers from Boys' Town. Father Flanna- gan's community of boys near Omaha, Nebraska, gave a program at Sigma Iota Kappa on November 7. The boys were accompanied by Mr. Arnold Sherman, Father Flannagan's assistant; 'Mr. Byron Reed, publicity manager of the home; Mr. Jack Silver, music director; and Brother Alfonso, one of the seven Brothers of Christian Schools who spend their time helping the boys to develop into strong young men. Mr. Reed told the club that in order to appreciate Boys' Town and the work it does in moulding boys' characters, one must see the town itself He said that the town and its activities weren't perfect, but he reminded the club of the fact that boys aren't perfect, and that the citizens of Boys' Town are real red- blooded boys. A quartet than sang "Rosary," "Home. Sweet Home, - and 1 "Boys' Town Alma Mater," their school song, which was written at the time the picture "Boys' Town" was filmed there. Two other boys played two clarinet duets, "Sunshine" and Mr. Stierman, acting for Father Flannagan, then told the history of the town and some interesting facts about it. In 1913 Father Flannagan was sent to Omaha as a young parish assistant. One year the crops failed and the waves of immigrants who yearly followed the harvests for employment, unable to find work, lolled on the park benches. Father Flannagan wished to help these un- fortunates, so he rented an old build- ing and started the Working Men's hotel, where these men might find food and lodging. This project was continued for three years, but soon the men took advantage of the oppor- tunity to obtain free food and shelter when they were out of work, and they neglected to get work even when it was obtainable. When this project failed, Father Flannagan decided that the only way to prevent men from developing into drifters and poor citizens is to train the boys in good citizenship while they are still at the impressionable age. He reached this conclusion after discovering that not one of those men bad had a good home environment in his youth. So in 1917 he borrowed $90, rented an old building, and brought to this building five boys, three from juvenile courts, and two street urchins. At the close of the first year he had twenty-five charges. Christmas dinner that year had consisted of meager fare, because the voluntary contributions were few and far between then--meat stew and sauerkraut (which was very unpo"- ular at that time as it was suspected of hiving a Teutonic origin.) After the War they moved to larger (Continued on page 3) 0 Faculty Reading Room Furnished By a Gift Washburn's Topic Will Be Numerous Recent Adventures First To Climb Alaskan Peak, Mount Lucania, Third Lyceum Number Motion pictures and a narrated account of mountaineering and ex- ploration will be presented tomorrow night in the chapel by Bradford Washburn who in 1937 was the first man to scale Mount Lucania, the highest unclimbed Alaskan peak. Mr. Washburn's experience in ex- ploration, mountain climbing and pho- tography, both in Europe and on the American continent, is long and var- ied. In 1926, at the age of sixteen, he made his first trip to the summit of Mount Blanc. In 1929 he directed a motion picture of the traverse of the Bradford Washburn Grepon. one of the most formidable rock climbs of Europe. In 1931, he planned and executed the first complete motion picture ever to be taken of the ascent of Mount Blanc, the highest mountain in Western Europe. In his second Yukon expedition for the National Geographic society, Bradford Washburn led a party of six men across the St. Elias range of Alaska in the winter of 1935.

H. Rulkoetter spoke at the vesper service last Friday evening in the chapel. When here on earth, President Rul- koetter stated, Jesus spoke with authority and conviction as one who knew and did not couch with words of uncertainty promises which mean much to us today. ''Christ did not speak with loose, disconnected words, - he stated, "but New furnishings for the faculty ..very statement had a purpose.

DO YOU DUCK TOO SOON? How do bells affect you? When you hear a bell ring, does it immediately set to working a system or mechanism within you which causes you to dive for your books? If so, how often does this reaction occur—every time you hear a bell or only when you hear the one that rings in the chapel at 10:20 a.m.? If you are affected this way only in chapel, how do you account for it? Is it that you can hardly wait to get to that next class or that you have just de- veloped a new psychological reaction since coming to college? How does the chapel speaker feel when he sees an appalling number of heads disappear to the lower regions of the chapel? What does he think? What would you think if you were placed in a similar posi- tion? Anyway, why not be grownup?

Niswonger THE CLOCK TOWER NOVEMBER 17, 1939 Page 2 Life of Reader Isn't One of Flowery Ease 1:00 p.m.: My afternoon as an English reader begins. Guess I'll look in the pigeon-hole marked "From Class" and see what I can find to- day. I tell you these Freshman Com- position students are unrivalled in their suggestions for solving world problems—past, present, and future— whether economic, religious, scholas- tic, philosophic, or social. Ho hum! Guess I might as well get down to business. What's this? Oh yes, some girl has written a theme on Podunk, her home town. Here's another one. Some fellow has a solu- tion for the European situation. Say, I wonder if the English know about him. Maybe he has just the infor , mation they're looking for. . . This sounds good: "How to get Along With People One Does Not Like." I won- der if the writer is a relative of Dale Carnegie. I emerge from my deep study of the advantages of farm life to an- swer a knock at the door. Oh, yes, we have a few conferences today, and this timid little soul has the first. (Conferences are always interesting. They provide an excellent oppor- tunity for me to study human nature.) The first victim, a timid soul as I said before, agrees with everything I say; she wouldn't dispute my word for the world. . . . Another knock at the door. The second victim is entirely different. How well I know her type. She is the kind who always got "A" in English back home; why she was even on the staff of Stumpville High's monthly paper. She just can't under- stand the "C's" on her papers. . . The afternoon passes with similar situations. One diversion comes when an insurance salesman of the Elmer Blurp variety—you know, "I hope nobody's home, I hope, I hope, I hope"—mistakes me for a teacher. However he soon discovers his error and decides from my inprosperous appearance that I probably wouldn't be interested in buying life insurance. These minor happenings are trivial compared to those which take place during examination week. I never fully realize the degree of my popu- larity until then. I am continually besieged with anxious inquiries about Students of Union, It's Your Front Yard No one gets any free ad- vertising in THE CLOCK TOWER. Nobody is supposed to get any free advertising ever. Adver- tising is one of those things that people pay for. Yet in the past few weeks I've been noticing with growing dismay the in- creasing number of little sign- boards strewn casually along the serpentine and other walks —Infant Ruth (rich in dex- trose), Butterdigit (contains de- licious fresh peanut butter). Besides these gaily colored ad- vertisements, there are also other rectangular advertise- ments proclaiming the jucy fruit or the peppermint flavor of that commodity that college girls are supposed to use in their rooms only. Nov, college students have already learned not to expect something for nothing. Why should they give something for nothing? I'll admit that I've invested more than one dime as a result of mental processes set up after spying a candy wrap- per on the lawn, but I still don't think that candy manufacturers need any free advertising. And besides, I'm really afraid that the stick with the nail in the end of it that is used to pick up papers on the lawn will be worn out soon if something isn't done. UNIONITES, ARISE!—and hold onto your candy wrappers. WE'RE TELLING YOU THAT One student, when asked where the international date line was, re- plied, "North hall lobby." According to numbers of Union college students, chosen for their ability to spell, "tandem" has many forms. It may be spelled thus: "tan- dom, tandeom, tandum, tandoum." Other words fared better than that in the contest held in the gymnasium last Saturday night as one of a program of games directed by Mr. George Stone. Rumor has reached us that one of the dairy store clerks in the evening rush revealed that the "medium" sign on an egg basket on the counter re- ferred not to size but to age. How- ever, someone had just asked about milk or doughnuts probably. La Sierra college students, in three weeks of campaigning for their paper, the College Criterion, exceeded their goal by 145 subscriptions. STARTING PLACE: NORTH HALL Union college really has two cam- puses. The campus that I see in die grey, unreal dimness of early .norning while making my pilgrimage to work is a vastly different campus from the one seen by those who ter- minate their naps five minutes before their 8:40 classes begin. To begin with, my crepe-soled shoes make an alien noise, like the sound of an elephant when he pulls his feet out of the mud, as I traverse the strangely quiet corridor. I proceed. After I open the door I forget about it, and consequently when I'm half way down the steps the sound of its slamming shut helps me to take the rest of the steps at one leap (don't tell Miss Keith); and those steps aren't the clearly defined ones that are there in the daytime. In the dark they're very nebulous ob- jects. It's rather like embarking on an escalator blindflolded, not knowing which is tread and which is riser. From there on my imagination runs riot. One morning I heard a noise under the porch; it may have been the wind or a dog, but anyway I was ten minutes early for work. Buck Rogers with his flying belt has noth- ing on me when I really put my mind to it. The leaves that I accidentally crackle underfoot, in spite of my attempted avoidance of them, sound like fire- crackers going off, and just as I am recovering my composure I notice a huge snake writhing its way down across the campus. (In the daytime it looks like a fire hose but one doesn't take chances before daybreak.) It is at about this juncture that I run into the path of a lawn sprinkler, in case one has been left running all night. The surprise never wears off. The walk is like bread, fresh every morning. If it is at all windy, the wind com- ing around the corner of the admin- istration building nearly lifts me off my feet and, happily, brings me one Clock Tower Complains That Infirmities of Age Are Beginning to Appear Oh dear! Two weeks ago I was bragging about my age, and now I feel it in every bolt, spring, and hand. For seventeen years I've worked faithfully year-round, without vaca- tions, night and day, without com- plaint. But something has gone wrong with me in the last two weeks. I feel a strange aversion for work, and I know that there is something wrong with me organically. Several people have examined me superficially and have pronounced me neurotic. But if you'd seen the treat- step nearer to that very desirable condition, being thoroughly awake. The wind on my face brings memories of stories of haunted castles and bats and speeds my progress considerably. The sudden appearance of the "Root Beer 5c" sign across the street seems about as much in keeping with the setting and with my imagination as if a rhinoceros should stroll up to me and begin to yawn. But, neverthe- less, that sign reassures me that civi- lization, lights, and the end to sounds of howling dogs are close at hand. Th:s glimpse of my less brave mo- ments has no moral, but if it had, perhaps it might be a plea to the teachers at Union college to deal gently with students who seem to go to sleep in classes. It may be they've merely developed a sleepy appear- ance from getting up too early, be it at 5 or at 9:25. This will have its sequel next sum- mer, when I intend to lie in bed until dinner time. And, if I awaken earlier, I'll open one eye and mutter happily, - Oh, it's nice to get up in the morn- ing, but it's nicer to lie in bed." STARTING PLACE: ANNEX Br-r-r-r, br-r-r-r- There's that alarm clock again-- but this bed feels fine right now. Sounds like the wind was blowing. Yes, I heard the clock strike, and I shut the alarm clock off, too, Hey, quit your pushing me; I'm getting up. Say roommate, I wish ment Leonard Rogers had to admin- ister to me this morning, you surely would have pitied me and forgiven my contrariness. He removed one of my four long arms and took it over to the power house or somewhere to reinforce it. These long years of turn- ing my hands around and around had caused it to crack in the center. Others have splinted it and tried to reinforce it so many times that it looks like part of a farm implement all patched with bailing wire. Mr. Rogers promised that if I still have difficulty with that arm—it's the south one, I think—he will have it replaced. But I wonder if that is all that's wrong with me. I know that the torsion produced turning those there wcren t so many strings tied to that all-nignt light service. It would be nice to have tights to dress by. Uh well, guess 1 ought to be used to it. Wonder it it s worth it! still, suppose 1 d be milking cows every morning if I were home, so I might as wen do it here and go to school. Siam-bam. There goes that guy from down stairs. see you atter breakfast room- mate. Huh! tie's sound asleep again. . . . Hi, fellows. Say, don't wait for me. I'll be with you in two jerks. Aw, quit your crabbing. I'll milk my share of the cows even if I do have to miss my breakfast. Vv hat a bum pail this is! Well, guess 1 can't say anything. I'd take the good one it I got here first. So, boss! Easy there, those feet were made to stand on. Say, there, neighbor, push that feed down in the manger as you go by. 01' Beauty wants the last bite even if she falls uown trying to reach it. No! I'm not waiting for you to unish first! And I'm not going to sit nere all day. Say, how many cows have you milked anyway? Seven! Just what I thought. I'm one up on you now. . . . Well, what's it to you? What if was the first one to leave the barn? sure I was the last one to get down there this morning. You can't ex- pect a fellow to be first both ways can you! Besides I milked nine cows and that's as many as anyone else milked. Finished your shower? Well, get your clothes on then. Let's go eat. Maybe you'll feel better with a meal under your belt. You might feel worse? No won- der, if you eat three bowls of rice like you did once last week. Sure, what you eat is all that you see of your earnings here, but—if you didn't eat yourself poor all the time you'd finish sooner and get a job where you could see something else. hands sometimes causes me to strike out of time or to stop altogether, but I think there is more at fault than that. If they would only call a specialist. The company who sent me out here would be sure to find my ailment and prescribe for it. Until something more can be done for me, you'll just have to be tolerant of my waywardness. Vesper Thoughts 44•••••••••••••••••••••• LESSONS FROM THE HILLS I've learned some mighty lessons from the hills; From craggy peak, from stream and mossy glen. I've learned to love the blessed peace that fills Me as I climb the heights so far from men. 0, just to stand aloft sonic mountain way, And gaze in wonder at the scene below, Is but to hear the great Creator say, '1, even I, did speak, and it was so!" How small I feel, how futile is my life Compared to God's great Nature, grand and wide. ['hough cursed by sin and shamed by ceaseless strife, iThe earth has grandeur still on ev'ry side. , -low can men glibly say, - There is no God!" Where here is evidence to prove His word? do not see beyond the way they plod, Else nature's truths would leave their dark souls stirred. The jumbled strata of the mountain rock Would prove that God once sent a mighty flood To cleanse the earth from evil. Those who mock This truth would doubt a Saviour's cleansing blood. Yet God in mercy clothed in garments fair The earthly evidence of justice met; That men, beholding God, may thus prepare To meet Him midst cdenic beauties yet. —R. Curtis Barger. Freshman Composition grades. Fin- ally I get to the place where I can tell beforehand what the exact words of each student will be, and am able to join in with him on the chorus. By this time I am on the verge of insanity; therefore, as a precautionary measure, I lock my door and let the rest of the knocking go unheeded. After regaining my composure suf- ficiently, I proceed with the task that lies before me. Finally I gaze wear- ily out of the window and notice the general exodus to South hall. Ho, hum! Guess I'll call it a day and go to supper. Campus Promenades at 5:31 a. m. Introductory note: I took two years of Spanish several years ago, but 1 wasn't exactly what you'd call a star pupil in it then; so when 1 decided I'd like to know the ivhat's, why's and wherefore's of the Bernals' history, I enlisted Don Howell's assistance-- to him (as the dedication of my biology book said) much of the credit and none of the blame is due. Guillermo — translated William — and Mercedes Bernal came 'to Union college from Lima, Peru, last September. Their reasons for choosing Union, they informed me, were that they had heard that Union was the best one of the senior colleges here in the States, that they knew and liked former graduates of Union, and that they had friends here. Since their arrival, their flashing all-day-long smiles and their sparkling eyes have won them many more friends. One thing that seems rather strange to Mrs. Bernal is that people here are good friends the very first time they meet; in South America people are very formal until they are well acquainted. Also new to her are auctioneers and the so-called "sales" to which everyone rushes to get bargain hats only to find that they were all sold the day before. Both Mr. and Mrs. Bernal plan to attend Union for the next four years; he will take the ministerial course and she the normal course. Then they will return to South America, where they will doubtless take a very prominent part in spreading the Gospel message. People The story of how Mrs. Bernal learned about Adventists is very interesting. When she was a little girl her parents were Catholics, and she attended a nuns' school for three years. When she was about eleven years old, her mother became a very good friend of an Adventist lady who lived across the street. Mercedes used to hear this lady singing the same songs we sing in Sabbath school. She liked these songs very much, but thought it wrong for her to sing them; however, many times she found herself singing them unconsciously, whereupon she would in- stantly stop and start singing a hymn to Virgin Mary. One day the neighbor lady asked Mercedes' mother to attend a meeting with her, The mother was ill and could not go, but she told the lady that Mercedes could go with her. Before the little girl went to the meeting, her mother told her to be sure and observe everything that went on, because everyone said that when Adventists prayed little devils came. Little Mercedes wasn't very helpful in solving the mystery however, for she went to sleep the very first thing. So they went the next time, too. After that they went all the time, and soon they joined the Adventist church, Mr. Bernal was born in Chileno. His parents didn't belong to any denomination until his mother went to Lima and there accepted the Adventist faith. She spent some time there in Lima as the dean of women at our school. Then she went back to Chileno "on a special trip" to con- vert her son. She took him back to Lima with her, and he attended the school there for five years. (The school in Lima is the equivalent of our high school.) Mr. and Mrs. Bernal attended tle school at Lima during the same five years They completed their work there in 193" and two years later, on Mr. Bernal's birth- day, they were married. She has taugh school in Peru for five years and war dean of women at our denominationa school in Lima for some time. Mr. Berna has been very active in the iministeria work; he has worked among the ChunchoL Indians, held meetings in several of the large cities in Peru, and was for some time prior to coming to Union the pastor of the church in Lima. It never rains in Peru, Mr. Bernal says, and is usually cold and foggy They have no furnaces or heat of any kind, however, they just keep warm the best way they can. Mr. Bernal states that his wife and he understand about three-fourths of the American language now, but that when they study they have to look up "about every other word." At this rate it takes from three to four hours to study one lesson. "The joke is," says Mr. Bernal, "that our Webster is so big that my wife can't manage it, so I have to look up all the words."

(Continued from page I) quarters and started their own school; previous to this time the boys attend- ed the public school. In 1921 the one hundred fifty boys moved to the present site of Boys' Town, 440 acres about ten miles west of Omaha. Since then the institution has grown rapidly. In 1934 it was recognized as a town and was granted a post office. At present there are 203 boys in six dormitories, and plans are being made for five new buildings. Next year, Mr. Stierman stated, they expect to have 550 boys. Since its founding over 4,000 have lived in Boy's Town. They have their own gymnasium, swimming pool, and football field. The Boys' Town publication, Boys' Town Times, is a four-page weekly with a circulation of 100,000. The football team, which plays grade B high schools from surrounding states, has not been tied or defeated for five years. The mayor and six commissioners, the governing body of the town, are elected by the boys themselves. The seven meeting together act as court, but the necessity for meeting in this capacity is practically non-ex- istant. Preventive disipline is used in Boys' Town and works well. There are numerous exceptions to the official age limit, twelve to sixteen. Boys are usually admitted through the recommendation of the welfare agencies in their communities, but those who just drift into the town from the road, as several have, are never turned away. About ten per cent of the boys are from the juvenile courts. Besides the high school grades which are taught, each boy who wishes may learn a trade, of which there are many to choose from: cleaning and pressing, electrical work, engineering, printing, shoe repair, woodwork, manual training, chef training, farming, horticulture, dairy- ing—and one of the boys added poli- tics. No boy leaves the town unless he has an acceptable home or place where he can "make good." Mr. Stierman believes that helping the boys to accept responsibility is one of the biggest parts of growing up, and Father Flannagan is attempt- ing to give his boys this training while they are with him, HALL-JOHNSTON GRAIN CO.

(Continued from page 0 During the summer of 1937 Brad- ford Washburn with Robert H. Bates, made the first ascent of Mount Lu- cania, 17,150 feet above sea level, then the highest unclimbed peak in North America. Lucania was be- lieved to be almost impregnable, partly on account of its tremendous icy cliffs and ridges, and partly be- cause it is almost completely sur- rounded by ridge upon ridge of vir- tually impassable mountain ranges. Mr. Washburn solved the problem of approach to the mountain by fly- ing in a plane equipped with special stainless steel skis, which made pos- sible a take-off from the mud flats of the little coastal town of Valdez, Alaska, two hundred forty miles away, and a landing on a rough glacier fifteen miles from the base of Lucania. Storms made it impossible for the airplane to make a second trip with the two other members of the party. Mr. Washburn and his partner, ma- rooned at the mountain base camp had no way out but to climb over the tops of the ranges which they had thought impossible to get over except by plane. They finally succeeded in crossing the range, climbing Mount Lucania on July 9th, on the way. To save their negatives, which tell the story of the most thrilling experiences of their lives, the two men sacrificed their food, living on squir- rels, mushrooms, and rabbits until they reached civilization again. Bradford Washburn's films are judged by some to be the finest pictures of mountain climbing ever made. was on his way to visit a cake box on first floor when he unexpectedly met the monitor who pursued and struck him a fatal blow with a broom.

Thanksgiving Story November, 1939 -Over the river and through the woods" still is the route to Thanks- giving Day dinner for many, but the way has been blazed with a modern highway and a motor car provides the means of transportation. Thanksgiving, 1939, finds the Amer- ican people about to complete 250 billion miles of motor transportation for the year. To many American families who use their cars for busi- ness and pleasure, and to the six and half million people looking to the motor industry for support, this fact presents a strong reason for giving thanks. This movement of vehicles over the highways is 70 billion miles a year more than it was in prosperous 1929, even though the nation has experi- enced a siege of depression years. Behind that figure of increased high- way usage is a compelling story of some of the gains made by the Ameri- people, both in material goods and improved way of living, against the hardships of world depression. Two million more people are oper- ating passenger cars today than in the lush days of '29, and almost a million more trucks are serving the farmer and the business man. In a country which owns nearly 70 per cent of the world's automobiles, two out of every three families in the United States now own a private car. Today the country has well over a million miles of surfaced roads of all kinds—nearly double the number it had ten years ago. A vast step-up in operating efficien- cy of trucks and buses during the past decade met the commanding need for economy in depression times and in so doing opened up new con- cepts of tranport flexibility, as well as new sources and new markets for goods. One direct result of this trend has been reduced prices for many useful goods, putting them in reach millions of families formerly doing without. The average American family finds its cost of living in Thanksgiving, 1939, well below the level of 1929. In effect, each dollar earned today con- tains 19 extra cents, which mount into substantial purchasing power when multiplied by a week's wage or a year's earnings. While unemployment remains a seri- ous problem, the nation's economy contains many spots brighter than before: A million new jobs have been created in motor transport since 1929. In factories and filling stations, on road building crews and at the wheel SI DAVENPORT BARBERS CUT-N-CURL Hair cuts for Ladies and Gentlemen Permanent Waves that Please 4735 Prescott 4-1120 In the first women's basketball game of the year, the white team, cap- tained by Genevieve Carpenter, won from the blues, under the temporary leadership of Mary K. Weaver, 16 to 12 on November 4. The teams, which have been prac- ticing for about three weeks, are made up of the following players: Elizabeth Blech, captain of blues; Margaret Spaulding, Gladys Pettit, Eileen Beckner, Rosella Griffith, Mary K. Weaver, Annabelle Monett, Billie Hubert, Anna Larson. Whites, Cap- tian Genevieve Carpenter, Joyce Love, Betty Buckley, Eunice Dietrickson, Leota Eads, Mabel Pruitt, Thelma Hobbs. Upper division women are organiz- ing a team also, it is reported. About fourteen met to form a practice schedule, and eleven attended the first practice Wednesday morning. Percy Saxon, sophomore from New Mexico, who refereed the women's game, is coaching the newly organized team which hopes to challenge the whites or blues soon after Thanksgiving. of buses, in garages, salesrooms and refineries, nearly six and a half mil- lion people earn their living compared to five and a half million in 1929. Definite signs of brighter times are such estimates as the American Auto- mobile Association's that 52,500,000 people took motor vacations during 1939, spending on their way $5,000,- 000,000, or a billion more than went for the same purpose in 1929. Into the pockets of families with spare bedding and a "Tourist Rooms" shingle went a sizeable proportion of the 200,000,000 additional dollars spent by motor travellers this year for accommodations. And the National Park Service, which built motor roads through parks close to centers of population, records three times as many visitors in 1939 as in 1929. Nearly 7,000,000 people put the parks on their vacation itin- erary this year, giving real applica- tion to the slogan, "See America First." Meanwhile among farm families 85 per cent now own their cars. With improvement of local highways a I decided trend in the decade, countless farmers have found outlets for their produce that did not exist before. And perhaps of considerable Thanksgiving significance is the fact that the number of school buses has more than doubled in the ten years. Secondary school attendance is up 2,274,000. Learning makes a man fit company for himself as well as others. '4Wmt11 .16.m1 .1•111.m.%%11W o 1. • Try Our Plate Lunches — Sandwiches R A CAFE 4027 So. 48th o11e61 .6. 1 %.=1.6111111.1m.leter"Ma.

She would be recognizable by her slouchy cap, her red sweater, and her broad, muscular shoulders. There was a misleading twinkle in her eyes, too. You saw her lift those tremendous bar bells in approved weight-lifting form. You saw her challenge Ray Cronk, who was ignominiously de- feated. You saw her stride proudly off the gymnasium floor with the thunderous applause of the admir- ing spectators following her. Do you suppose she saw the little boy who carried off the 1500 pounds of bar bells in one trip. Could that be why she has vanished? Perhaps Ruth Olson knows something about Lulu- belle.

Itinerating Banner Moves Often; Rivalry Keen as Campaign Progresses I wonder what the etymology of the word "campaign" is. Did they maliciously include "paign"? For some, I'd say it was the correct term, but for THE CLOCK TOWER campaign it is indeed a misnomer. Have you seen the fine new electric toaster in the spread room that the girls bought with the five dollars they won by writing the most letters? Have you seen the grins on the faces of the people who have each won a new dollar bill for securing five subs to THE CLOCK TOWER? Have you seen the enthusiasm displayed by the staff and the general student body when THE CLOCK TOWER has a few minutes in chapel? Have you seen the splendid display of school spirit that was evinced by hanging of THE CLOCK TOWER banner? Have you seen the good will and sportsmanship that has dominated the entire cam- paign? Have you seen the coopera- tion of the students and faculty in ob- taining subs? I am proud of the position I hold on THE CLOCK TOWER staff. I am proud to head such a campaign as has been held so far. I am proud of Union college, THE CLOCK TOWER of Union, and all of the things she stands for. I wish you all could have the thrill I've had in hanging THE CLOCK TowEE banner on the North hall porch. But I am sure you all will be thrilled when this campaign comes vo a successful close on the seven- teenth of November.
