"Be kind to others, to the col- lege, to the faculty," Elder Turn- er suggested, "because it will help to make you happy. You will have to live with yourself for the rest of yourself o fyour life," he continued, "and you can never get away from yourself." Elder Turner stressed the fact that students could be a power in the hand of God.

XXII "Rural Living" Is Chapel Talk J. Dr. E. A. Sutherland, Secre- tary of the Commission on Rural .Living of the General Confer- ence, spoke to the students of Union College during chapel hour December 4. Dr. Suther- land's father was the first busi- ness manager of Union College, and Dr. Sutherland was once a member of the Union College faculty, but never served because he accepted a call to another field before he entered upon his teaching duties. Dr. Sutherland spoke on Rural Living. "There is no way by which we• can dodge the respon- sibility of working for the Lord," said Dr. Sutherland. "We are liv- ing in the time when God wants every Seventh - day Adventist church member not to be simply a Seventh-day Adventist, but to be a seven-day Adventist every day of the week," he continued. To emphasize our responsibility as workers for God, he used the "talent" parable from Matthew 25. Whether we have one talent or ten, God expects every talent to he employed in His work. As in the days of Israel when every- one was doing his part the work went forward, so it is with spirit- ual Israel in these last days. About fifty self-supporting in- stitutions of North America plan to organize. This will then be a connecting link between the laity and the organized work of the church. "Together we can finish this work," said Dr. Sutherland. There is a special work for Seven- th-day Adventists in these last days. "We are the people who Woods Speaks at Methodist Church "Religion should not be given the residue of time, money or intellect but should come first," declared Dr. Robert W. Woods, president of Union College, in his address to an audience of about 850 at the Sunday night's singfest at St. Paul Methodist church on December 15. Basing his meditation on the text from Isaiah which tells of a carpenter who took oak, cypress, and cedar to build his fire and used the residue to make a grav- en image of a god whom he could worship, Dr. Woods point- ed out how easy it is for us to do essentially the same thing today. Our cedar tree might be the manner in which we spend time, "We spend the best part of our time perhaps in self-seeking, self- satisfaction, business, social ac- tivities, closing our busy round of activities with a hasty formal prayer—the residue of time, the left over part." Concluding his talk, Dr. Woods said that "All too often the residue of time, the remain- der of material, the remnant of effort is too little and too late, a futile effort ending in man's haunting curse, the incomplete— incomplete only because it is know just what the enemy is try- carved from the residue." ,KAPPA THETA, GUESTS OF MEN AT BANQUET • Solos sung by Maryon Jung were: "There Were Shepherds Abiding in the Field," "And Lo! The Angel of the Lord Came Upon Them," "And the Angel Said Unto Them," "And Sudden- ly There Was With the Angel," "Rejoice Greatly, 0 Daughter of Zion," and "Come Unto Him All Ye That Labour." Merritt Schumann sang "Com- fort Ye My People" and "Every Valley Shall Be Exalted." K. T. Holds Part Kappa Theta held its annual Christmas party in the North Hall worship room at 9:45 Sun- day evening, December 15. Letha Surdam played the piano as the girls gathered and seated themselves on the floor. The pro- gram was opened with a scrip- ture reading and prayer given by Ermalee Garner. Then each girl, instead of giving a gift to her friendship sister, walked by the Christmas tree and placed the money she would have spent on a gift under the tree. This money is to go to help relieve the famine situation in Europe. The re- mainder of the program was as follows: a reading, "The Night after Christmas," by Margaret Reed; singing of Christmas carols by all the girls; a reading by Phyllis Smith; a song, "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," by Margaret Pederson, who was dressed as Santa Claus. As the final event of the evening, the girls caroled the various boys' residences and President Woods' house. With only 10 more days left in the campaign both leaders are predicting victory for his re- spective sides. The four worthy Evens were aroused by the sing- ing of their ghosts and are pick- eting "Whitfield's Hash House' while the Odds are sleeping "the night before Christmas." The campaign closes New Year's Eve Strahle Pictures European Famine Elder J. J. Strahle of Washing- ton D.C., director of Seventh-day Adventist European Relief, spoke to the students of Union College during worship period in the auditorium Tuesday, December 17. Elder Strahle is visiting Ad- ventist churches and schools to make a special appeal in behalf of the church to raise another $500,000 for famine relief in Europe. Back from five months in Europe, Elder Strahle has an- nounced that he was able to set up an organization for getting food and clothing into Germany, Austria, Hungary, P o 1 a n d, Czechoslovakia and many other needy countries. "We have sent a total of 500 tons of clothing and more than $600,000 worth of food to nearly every country in Europe," said Elder Strahle. He states, however, that word has been received from leaders in these countries that "to prevent misery and provide for the ne- cessities we will need help from December to April." Speaking of conditions among children, Elder Strahle reports, "I haven't seen one healthy look- ing child. In Germany alone 27,- 000,000 children are undernour- ished, 23,000,000 are homeless, and 32,000,000 need medical at- tention. In several cities of Ger- many I saw how the starving went out to eat weeds and gather grass, for they did not have food to eat," said Elder Strahle. "On my last visit to Hamburg a representative of the public health department took me out to see the homes of the people. They had gathered various things from the garbage dumps and were trying to fry their food with candle wax and varnish. It is a ghastly picture," Elder Strah- le continued. "There were so many restric- tions and barriers," Elder Strahle stated "that it seemed almost im- possible for us to get relief to our people in the Russian occupied German territory. But through the kind cooperation of the Luth- eran church who had permits from authorities to transport food into the occupied territory, we were able to get relief to our people," Elder Strahlc conclud- ed. Roger Neidigh, instructor in physics, was awarded his pilot's license on December 13 with the traditional evenings celebration. Members from both groups are eagerly awaiting ti-p! suprises in store for those :4 the exclusive $20 Club and still more aro al- ready making plans for the 810 Club party. Individual prizes re- main to be won as some are eagerly anticipating $50 in subs. Byron Blecha, president of Sigma Iota Kappa, gave the wel- coming speech and Essie Lee Davidson, president of Kappa Theta, gave the response for the women. Professor R. W. Fowler was the after-dinner speaker, and a film concluded the program. Assisting President Blecha in arranging the program were the other officers of the club: Ulric Martin, vice-president; Morten Juberg, secrtary-treasurer; and Bill Putnam and Joe Hunt, as- sistant secretary-treasurers. Heading the general arrange- ments committee was Peter Kos- tenko, who had as his assistants: Donald Timothy, Floyd Eccles, Wilmer Unterseher, and Hart- ley Berlin. William Rankin, chairman of decorations committee, was aid- ed by Alvin Brashear, Lloyd Cleveland, Harold Vasenius, Rus- sell Shawver, and Gerald Har- vey. The food committee was composed of Floyd Scott, chair- man, Everard Hicks, and Vin- cent Agnetta. "You belong to a select few— you have acquired the tools of learning," said President Robert W. Woods, recognizing the Union College senior class of 1947. At this annual convocation, held before the faculty members. students, and friends, in the Col_ lege View Seventh-day Ad • ist Church. Monday �' 9:35, Dr. E. B. Ogden, dean of he college, observed that this was the largest senior class since 1922. Dr. Ogden presented the class one by one and President Woods recognized them on bo- half of the college. Richard Daarud, on behalf of the student body, expressed ap- preciation for the inspiration of the accomplishments of the senior president, expressed the senoir president, expressed the thanks of the class to faculty parents, and friends for the suc- cess thus far achieved. Handel's oratorio, "The Mes- siah," was presented by the com- bined A Cappella Choir and Ora- torio Society under the direction of Ellen Kurtz-Jacobson in the College View Chuch at 8:00 p.m. December 13. The orchestra was under the direction of Professor C. C. Engel, head of the music department. The soloists were Maryon Jung, soprano; Merritt Schu- mann, tenor; Frances Chamber- lain, alto; and Bob MoNlimaman, bass. Delores Fritz and Bonnie Lindquist were accompanists at the piano and Miss Mabel Wood, instructor in piano and organ, ac- companied at the organ. Mem- bers of the orchestra included Jeanette Hause, Merlene Ogden, Paul Penno, Barbara Dodson, Agnes Barnes, Lester Birch, Mel- vin Lohman, Marjorie Tryon, and Mrs. Christenson. The presentation was given after the invocation prayer by Elder J. A. Buckwalter. ing to do. We are to inform the people what the events taking place actually mean." Dr. Sutherland stressed the importance of our choosing to get that training which will help us do our work most effectively and learn to care for our needs in a practical manner. With candeligh!- softening the harmonizing hues of the, crepe streamers, a Christmas atinGs- phere was created for the wo- men of Kappa Theta as they were feted by the men's club, Sigma Iota Kappa, at their an- nual banquet in the auditorium on Monday evening. Blue and white crepe ribbons formed the false ceiling and draped to form the walls which were flanked by minature ever- greens. Arriving at the doors, the guests were met by ushers who took their wraps and conducted them to their tables. Appropri- ate music was played by Profes- sor C. C. Engel and his string en- semble. A quartet composed of Rob- ert McManaman, Paul Penno, Merritt Schumann, and Paul Shakespeare sang two numbers, "Somewhere a Voice is Calling," and "Alexander." Following a solo, "White Christmas," by Al- in Brashear, a violin solo was played by Jeanette Hause. Campaign Nears Climax HENCEFORTH...

At this Christmas season of 1946, the world is nominally at peace. Unfortunately this peace is little more than an armed truce because of the lack of good will toward men in the hearts of the millions who have been taught hatred toward other nations, other races, or other religions. The words of the angels spoke of cheer, comfort, joy, and trust. But today there are multitudes of children who look old, though still young, and who have never known the reality of experience de- picted in those words. As Christians we now have an opportunity to be Christlike, to share our plenty with our needy brethren, to pray for the fatherless, the widows and those who mourn. May this Christmas season be a time of joy for each student of Union Col- lege—yes, a time of joy, of cheer, of comfort, and of trust, but also a time of worship, of service, of soul-searching, and of spiritual satis- faction. The two experiences are not incompatible, but rather find the fullest realization together. There is no joy to exceed that found in the service for others; no trust more deep than that a man may exercise in worship; no cheer to compare with that of a soul at peace with its God; and no comfort like spiritual confidence. May God help us all, students and teachers, and parents to grow in grace, in righteousness and in the ability to serve our Lord and Master. Christmas is a time to remember the birth of our Saviour and our Example in all things, and as we remember to consecrate and rededicate our lives to His service. May God bless us all. President Robert W. Woods Very soon vacation will he here. Many are counting the hours until they can go home to father and mother and loved ones. May I wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. At the Christmas Season we are reminded in a very special way of the Angel's message at the birth of our Saviour: "Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men." Our merciful Father has seen fit to give us a degree of peace on earth and an abundance of material bless- ings in this land of liberty when so much of the world is in want and suffering. Let us be especially grateful to God for His blessings to us and be ever ready to share with others. May we be quick to use every opportunity to tell others of God's love and saving grace. Let us do our part faithfully in the finishing of His work on earth. Dean E. B. Ogden (nor°Cower Member ASSOCIATED COLLEGIATE PRESS Morten Juberg William Rankin Lorraine Davis .

CLOCK TOWER, DECEMBER 18, 1946 ,7s acre Santa? This letter from Virginia arrived on the New York Times Edi- tor's desk some 30 years ago. Each year at Christmas it is reprinted by popular request on the front page of that newspaper. Dear Editor: I am a little girl eight years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Please tell me the truth. Virginia Dear little Virginia, Your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except what they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible to their little minds. All minds, Vir- dren are little. In this great uni- verse of ours man is a mere insect of intellect, as compared with the boundless worlds about him, as measured by the intelligence cap- able of grasping the whole truth. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary this world would be if there were no Santa Claus. IL � I � It would be as dreary as if there If � 11 � i �were no Virginias. There would be r"--" _II � 11 � no child-like faith then, no poetry, no romance, to make tolerable this existance. We would have no en- joyment, excep• t in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. Not to believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in anything. You might get your papa to hire men to watch the heav- ens day and night, but if they did not see him, would that prove there is no Santa Claus? Nobody ever sees Santa Claus, personally, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children or men can see. You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love can push aside that curtain and view the supernal beauty beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all the world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus? Thank God, he lives forever! A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten thousands years from now, he will continue to make glad the hearts of all childhood. The Editor School of Nursing By CAROL HEFT So Say ZheDeans.. 1947! How new it looks! How strange! But it is here—a new untried year—what are we going to do with it? It brings us a very personal challenge. Is it to be a better year than 1946? Facing it squarely, do we definitely purpose to turn over new leaves in our book of living? And it is the time for "turning over a new leaf." The thought of the clean, fresh pages of another yeTr so soon to be written upon cannot but inspire us to better living. Shall we not at the beginning of this new year look forward? The mistakes, the failures, the sins of the past should he confessed and forgotten. With Paul, we should forget "the things that are behind, and press forward." What shall we write on these clean, white pages? How shall we begin? First, let us decide to live consistent Christian lives, and, while we are ever to be courteous, gentle, patient. and kind, yet let us remember that firmness of character and moral backbone are essential characteristics in making a successful life. "Those who would win success," we are told, "must be courageous and hopeful. While they are to give the soft answer that turns away wrath, they must possess the courage of a hero to resist evil. \Vith the charity that endures all things, they need the force of character that will make their influence a positive power." May the new year bring happiness and peace of mind to each member of Union's family, as, by word and deed, — We do the duty that lies plainly before us, not shirk- ing nor deferring it. We show a fuller appreciation for the good that comes our way. We excuse the faults of others even as we expect others to excuse ours. We do nothing that will bring pain or privation to otljeis, but lathe! lend a helping hand to those who are less fortunate. We keep smiling and serene even when the shadows cross our. pathway. We follow the footsteps of the lowly Nazarene, that we may be endowed with the sturdy courage to walk where He directs whether the path be strewn with thorns or flowers. "Grant us another new Year Book, dear Master — Last year's one is blotted and soiled; Page after page begun right in the morning, Before night it was wretchedly spoiled. When the New Year's bells call me to duty, I resolve Every line shall be made by Thy aid; Whether sadness or joy be recorded upon it, No blot shall be willfully made." Pearl L. Rees How many times the New Year's Season has come along with its surge of new resolutions which are so enthusiastically made. All too soon though many of these resolutions cease to function and we lapse back into the old ways. This experience recurs with such regularity that one soon comes to the point where he feels it's of no use to resolve, and this is just as the devil would have it for he doesn't want us to "purpose in our hearts." But let us realize that every good resolution is a supporting bit of thinking to a program desireable for any to follow. Why is it though that we arc so prone to forget these resolu- tions so soon? Would we be willing to admit, it is because of a short memory? We hear of some people who are short in physical stature, some are short on ability, many are short-sighted and a few are short tempered, but all of us have oh, so short memories. Memory functions as we take a real active interest in the thing to be remembered. If we arc faithful in keeping the morning watch and let nothing keep us from meeting our appointment with our Maker morning after morning, we are bound to remember. Thus the resolution becomes a truly activating force in our experience and serves a good purpose. But let the cares of life take so much time that we just can't work in those three chapters of Bible reading each day and soon evidence is apparent of a short memory. Once that resolution is neglected it is so easy to put it off another time. And thus it has gone the way of so many other good resolves. 'Yes, resolutions are worthwhile even so, but let us understand that real purpose and effort must be put into them to make them ac- complish the desired ends. Resolve in your mind, purpose in your heart, set yourself, press forward and greetings to all, is the parting word from South Hall this Holiday Season. M. S. Culver A CHRISTMAS STORY Across the German Ocean, In a country far from our own, Once a poor little boy, named Gottleib, Lived with his mother alone. He was not large enough to work, And his mother could do no more (Though she scarcely laid her knitting down) Than keep the wolf from the door. She had to take their threadbare clothes, And turn, and patch, and darn; , For never any woman yet Grew rich by knitting-yarn. One night she sat and knitted, And Gottlieb sat and dreamed, When a happy fancy all at once Upon his vision beamed. 'Twos only a week till Christmas And Gottlieb knew that then Tho Christ C.,hiltinwho—.-eas bcrei � day, Sent down good gifts to men. Next day when the postman's letters Came from all over the land, Came one for the Christ-Child, written In a child's poor trembling hand. You may think the postman was troubled What in the world to do; So he went to the Burgomaster, As the wisest man he knew. And when they opened the letter, They stood almost dismayed That such a little child should dare To ask the Lord for aid. Then the Burgomaster stammered And scarce knew what to speak, And hastily he brushed aside A drop, like a tear, from his check. Then up he spake right gruffly, And turned himself about: "This must be a very foolish boy, And a small one, too, no doubt." Now when the morn of Christmas came And the long, long week was done, Poor Gottlieb, who could scarcely sleep, Rose up before the sun, And hastened to his mother, But he scarce might speak for fear, When he saw her Nvdndering look, and saw The Burgomaster near. Amazed the poor child looked, to find The hearth was piled with wood, And the table, never full before, Was heaped with dainty food. Then half to hide from himself the truth � 111 The Burgomaster said, While the mother blessed him on her knees, And Gottlieb shook for dread: "Nay, give no thanks, my worthy dame, To such as me for aid, Be grateful to your little son, And the Lord to whom he prayed!" Then turning round to Gottlieb, "Your written prayer, you see, Came not to whom it was addressed, It only came to me! "Twas but a foolish thing you did, As you understand; For though the gifts are yours, you know, You have them from my hand." Then Gottlieb answered fearlessly, Where he humbly stood apart, "But the Christ-Child sent them all the same, He put the thought in your heart!" --Phoebe Cary • TO OH • CLOCK TOWER, DEC,EMBER 18, 1946 Little Gottlieb � The night was clear anditill �tasn't that beautiful!, and from the cathedral tower the Isn't God a wonderful artist?" � bells rang out their melodious � At her side Sheila Sil\V a N'01111" message of cheer and good will to all who would pause to listen. It was a time for beauty and har- mony, and as if at a signal from above, the star-studded sky poured down upon the scarred and weary city a shower of feath- ery snowflakes. Falling fast in silent merriment these symbols of purity from above soon cover- ed the barren ugliness of marl- in:A.1e street and huildings with a glistening blanket of purest white. Oblivious of the new beauty around her, Sheila Paige walked through the falling snow with bowed head. Her head was bowed not so much as protection against the flying snow, as it was an unconscious reflection of the heaviness of her heart this Christ- mas season. Christmas was not meant to be spent alone. It was a time of good will to all. Yet iu this great city there was not one who would have good wishes to Offer her in return for her good will. As Sheila rounded a corner a breath - taking sight left her motionless on the sidewalk. Now for the first time she heard the beautiful melody the silver throated bells were peeling forth from their airy molt. The snoon -broke through the black clouds for a precious moment and a shaft of silvered light rested on the top of the tower. Myriads of snowflakes caught on the stone lacework of the cathedral tower sparkled and glistened in the moonlight till the tower was aglow with light and music. Held spellbound by the exquisite beauty she had come upon so suddenly, and by the reassurance she needed so badly, Sheila stood, unmindful of passers-by, gazing at the glorious sight. Then, the racing moon was again veiled by clouds and the spire became an earthly thing once more. Sheila was about ready to go on her way again when a small band reached up and touched her sleeve.

Sheila Paige." 4 � CLOCK TOWER, DECEMBER 18, 1946 "Since you and I ark going to' attend this service together don't you think it would be well if we iiirod.:c:d ourselves? . My name Shcila Paige. What is you s?" How do_ your do :MiSs Sheila.. is o lovely name. Mine is [canine. Jeanine Milford. Lonnie 'always called 'ine "Neen" and you may too, if you wish." Solemnly the two shook hands and went into the warmth and friendliness of the great church. Taking Sheila's hand, Jeanine whispered that she would lead the way to a pew from which it would be possible to see the choir. Once seated in the high carved pew Sheila noticed that the inside of the cathedral was quite as beautiful and majestic as the outside. Yet there was something strangely soothing and r;.stful about the candle lit room. Strange, she hadn't realized how tired she was until she sat clown. Resting, she closed her c yes and ;lied to push out of her miod all the unpleasant loneli- ness and sorrow of the past few months. As from afar came the sound of many voices singing the be- low d "Silent Night, Holy Night." The music ebbed and flowed about her strong and clear, then faded away to a mere whisper of beauty. Opening her eyes when the last echo had died away, Sheila saw before her, three choirs combined into one. In the center was an adult choir robed in_blue and white, on..one side was a young boy's choir, while on the other was a girl's, both robed in purest, flowing white. Listen! They were singing again. This time it was "0, Holy Night! the stars arc brightly 7imuig. It is the night of the Dear Saviour's birth." Closing her eyes again, the lonely girl allowed herself to become immersed in the heaven- ly music. A rich voice broke the silence lafter the choir's song was ended, 4peaking age-old words of love and peace that first were spoken to weary shepherds tending their flocks by night on a wind-swept hillside. The words were good and true, and were beautifully spoken but did not include her in their message of "good will toward men." Thinking of good will she turned to study more carefully her young stranger-friend. A careful glance told her that the clothes so neat and clean, were old, old; and had many times been patched, mended, and turn- ed, and the shoes too large for her small feet had been designed for a boys busy play. Finally Sheila's eyes rested on Jeanine's face. Her face matched her voice, sweet yet possessing an air of wisdom far beyond her few years. The fair skin was set off by a halo of curly black hair, a bit unruly in spots though show- ing signs of careful brushing. Sensing perhaps, that she was being watched. Jeanine turned to smile at Sheila asking with her Eyes if she were not enjoying the service..Her eyes were strikingly beautiful—a deep, deep blue fringed with the blackest of lash- es that spoke volumes. It was as if God had left his signature in her eyes, saying to all who could read, "This child have I formed with loving care. Be kind to her." Sheila decided that at last she had met someone to whom the word beautiful could truthfully apply. Now the choir was singing old Christmas songs from many lands. Some were merry and bright, while others were slow and moving, but all helped create a feeling of good will. With the rendition of the majestic "Halle- lujah Chorus" the noel chbir ended another Christmas. People began to move quietly out of the church each with a new vision of the meaning of Christmas. She- ila's heart had been warmed in- deed, but the loneliness was still there. Jeanine made no move to go so Sheila waited quietly till she should indicate her readiness to leave. Turning to study the small child again she saw tears stream- ing clown her cheeks. Head held high she was fighting the tears with all her might. With a start Sheila realized how very thin Jeanine was. Moving over to her she took the child in her arms and rested the curly head on her shoulder. Great sobs shook her body through and through, each one tugging a little stronger at Sheila's heart. Here, she realized, is someone who is lonely too. This great sorrow, whatever it might be, no child so young should have to bear. Before long the sobs subsided and the slight body relaxed in Sheila's arms. "Jeanine," Sheila gently called. "Don't you think your family will be wondering where you are?" "Miss Paige, you see I have no family. I live all by myself since Lonnie went to war, and he won't be coming back, ever." The deep blue eyes turned up to her show- ed acquaintance with grief and yet Sheila could imagine how beauitful they would be spark- ling with joy. "Tell me, dear, who was Lon- nie?" Sheila quietly questioned the sorrowed. child. "Lonnie? Why Lonnie was the most wonderful person on earth, he was my brother you see. Mother and Daddy died when I Was only tiny so Lonnie taught me to grow. I had such fun grow- ing up with him to help. You see we made a game of everything so when things went wrong it was almost easy to make it right with a smile." Glancing up Sheila saw the caretaker snuffing out the many candles preparatory to closing the cathedral for the night. They must 1 ,e right away or they might ha to spend the night in et\ the huge hurch. Taking Jean- ine's hand it was Sheila who now led the way. This lime back out into the clear winter night. Now the snow bore the prints of many feet all headed home. "Jeanine, where do you live? I'm going to sec you home. It's very late and you really should be in bed." "Why I can get holm); alone, Miss Paige. But it does get sb very lonely at night." Jeanine hung tightly to Sheila's hand con- tradicting the independencend assurance in her young voice?, "Yes, I'm quite sure you could make it alone," Sheila smiled down at the curly black head held so 14gh, "But I would con- sider it gkriirilege if you would allow me to escort you home." Catching the mood, Jeanine bowed daintly from the waist saying, "Why I'd be delighted Miss Paige." They walked in silence for a few minutes, the older girl and the younger girl, enjoying the crispness of the air and the crunch of the snow underfoot. Jeanine broke the silence. "You see Lonnie used to sing in the noel choir before lie went away. He sang some of the solo parts and the choir director told me he was losing one of his best men when the army called him. Lonnie and I had big plans for this Christmas, for Lonnie would be back in the choir and I was going to join the girl's choir for the first time. But things are dif- ferent now. Lonnie said if I came to a problem I didn't know how to solve, to meet it with a song and I would he stronger because of it." Sheila's heart was touched by the grown-upness of this child's thinking. Then she fell to wondering about the boy Lonnie. He truly must have been won- derful, as Jeanine so staunchly vouched, to have instilled in the young mind of his baby sister a part of his own•Dfe's philosophy. Life could not have been easy for him either, losing his parents and being left with a little sister to teach and train; to be a mother, father, and brother rolled into one. The child was to all the world, a living testimony that Lonnie had done his job well. Lost in her reveries Sheila had failed to notice where their steps were leading them. Glancing about her now she noticed that the neighborhood ' was a poor one. bordering on the shims. Jeanine was leading her into one of the oft-duplicated buildings and down a flight of stairs to the basement. Coining to door 21 Jeanine took a key hung around her neck with a heavy ribbon and opened the door. Standing aside, she allowed Sheila to enter first. The room was neat though sparsely furnished, and inside' there was the delightful odor of fresh pine needles. Looking far- ther into the room Sheila saw a small Christmas tree on a table in front of the window, Gaily colored paper chains, stars, and bells hung gracefully from the branches. In front of the tree on the table, stood.a large picture of a handsome young man in the uniform of an army air force of- ficer. Sheila noticed that he had the same dark, curly hair and ex- pressive eies that were so strik- ing in Jea ne. It was n � rd to tell that they were bro ler and sister. "You had better get ready for bed Neen." Glancing at her watch Sheila exclaimed, "Why do ,You know. it's nearly eleven o'cloCk?" . � . Coming to stand in front of Sheila, Jeanine looked up at her and said, NEWYEAR I 'ICI ttak eny _ :=mas s � .41IMP.4.04•04,......100.0.1M1.014=.0.=••••..). 1.11.0 I Since 1924 MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR Unionites from The Ivlorses Opposite South Hall B.

The first was on "An- thrax Sequence" showing how Pasteur inoculated the sheep of French peasants against anthrax and saved their lives. In the film "Hydrophobia Sequence" Pasteur saved the life of a boy from rabies even against the permis- sion of authorities. As a result he was permitted to treat Russian peasants and saved their lives. "Story of Dr. Jenner" was another film shown at the regu- lar club meeting on Dec. 18, telling the story of the develop- ment of immunology against smallpox by Dr. Jenner's observa- ion of the milder cow-pox.

The "stations" visited were the homes of the Buckwalters, the Roys, the Beamans, and the Jen- sens. Night air evidently affects appetites in some way or another, for at the last home visited by each group refreshments of cake, ice cream, and cocoa or grape juice were served; and no one refused on the basis that he was- n't hungry.

Hawse More than nineteen hundred years ago angels appeared over the hills and valleys of Palestine proclaiming a new era in man- kind's checkered history. The theme song they sang bore a message of peace to the world of that day and tidings of great joy to all people. A Messiah had been born who would build a new kingdom, a spiritual king- dom -- the Kingdom of God. A Troubled Palestine Today Palestine now ranks as the world's number one trouble spot. Unfortunately it is a problem that few people can discuss dis- passionately because of direct interests or prejudices. Well-or- ganized and vociferous propa- ganda machines flood the world in behalf of, or in opposition to, unlimited migration of Jews to Palestine. Money is freely sup- plied by friends and opponents of the cause of Zionism. The President of the U.S. fired up the debate by declaring that, for the present, one hundred thousand refugee Jews should be admitted to Palestine. One authority flays the British for their violation of promises and treaties that al- located Palestine to the Jews. Another condemns Britian for having allowed any Jews to go. When an American speaks up condemning Britian for refusing the entrance of any more Jews he is hushed immediately by being reproved for the restrictive U.S. immigration laws. Jew vs. Arab Jews tell us that since Jews have begun to migrate to Pales- tine more Arabs live there than formerly because of the improve- ments in farming and industry made by the Jews and thus, they declare, they are not crowding the Arabs out. They also claim that Biblical tradition and history prove their right to the land and the British declarations justify their claims to ownership of Palestine. Pro-Jewish sympa- thizers argue that human decen- cy demands that Jews be per- mitted to migrate to Palestine if they wish. Arabs point out that the land is theirs by possession, that pro- mising it to the Jews was illegal, that to disposses them would be a lawless act. They claim that Jewry and Mohammedanism are not compatible religions when in close proximity of each other. Outlook Quite Hopeless At the present time there is no solution in sight for the Arab- Jewish hostility in Palestine. Quite certainly it is a much more aggravating question because of great power intervention for one reason or another, chiefest of which arc the strategic oil re- serves and transportation facili- ties near by. British actions in forbidding further migration of Jews to the area are no doubt guided by her interest in Arabian oil, the Suez Canal, the importance of the area as a check on Soviet aspirations in the Dardanelles - Danubian regions and by a realization that it "is possible that the future his- tory of the British Empire may in the end, depend more on its Arab policy now than on any other single factor." We Miss You, Herb Herbert Hill. � ministerial student, has found it necessary to leave school for a short time because of poor health. His with- drawal is only temporary, how- ever, as he definitely hopes to he back with us second semester. Mr. Hill has served as business manager of the CLOCK TowEB. Something for Unionite camer- a fans to keep in mind while en- joying the Christmas holidays is the photo club snapshot contest. Prizes will be offered for the three best pictures of the Yule- tide season and will be judged by the students The winning picture will be published in the Clock Tower. Drs. Everett Christen- sen and Eunice Mantz- Chris tensen, both alum- ni of Union College and now of Iowa City, Iowa, were week-end visitors at the home of L. W. Welch. They flew over in their plane Friday and return- ed to Iowa City, Sunday, p.m. Oscar Wuerstlin, being very sub-conscious and true to his group ,the Odds, was proudly displaying the "chip" on his shoulder in downtown Lincoln last week. That is until he learned why everyone was laugh- ing at him! Our illustrious Golden Cords editor, Francis Knittel, has also started his teaching career, as a student-teacher in academy freshman English. Following his first day as teacher, this conver- sation between two freshman girls was overheard: First girl: "Don't you like Mr. Knittel for a teacher?" Second girl: "Do II?! I think he's just gorgeous!" What I like best about any class is the bell—even with "Mr. Knittel" teaching. Speech classes and sales talks have presented quite an interest- ing item during the past few days. And to think you fellas missed buying Bonnie Grogan's diary!! QUARTET VISITS SUNNYDALE The Gospel Herald Quartet, including Edward Timothy, first tenor; Winston Dennis, second tenor; Donald Timothy, first bass; and Jay Lantry, second bass; accompanied Mr. Hare to Sunnydale Academy, Missouri, on Thanksgiving Day where they furnished the evening entertain- ment for the academy students as well as for the teachers who were gathered there for State Teachers' Institute. The first part of the program consisted of sacred music by the Gospel Her- alds after which Mr. Hare gave some very interesting demonstra tions on glass blowing. The Gos- pel Heralds concluded the pro- gram with a group of secular numbers. MOSE LECTURES ON SCULPTURE Carl Mose, instructor of fine arts at the Washington Univer- sity in St. Louis, Missouri, lec- tured on sculpturing and demon- strated his skill in the Union Col- lege auditorium on December 7, at 8 p.m. Carl Watts, a student, volun- teered as a model for Mr. Mose who began his clay sculpturing by first building up the shoul- ders, then the neck and head. The next procedure was to locate and form the eyes, ears, and nose. Mr. Mose prefers to use life models because he can learn their characteristics and he can put life into his work. He says that every living, intelligent face is interesting to the sculptor. Mr. Mose has made memorials in many parks to beautify our cities. He says that young sculp- tors should discover their talent and be encouraged to improve their communities by their work of art. Donnis Krietzky b a s been visiting a few days in the North Hall hos- pital; but blew out the candle there and recovered in time to light the Wick at the boys' banquet. And Ellen Seito besides witnessing the first snow- fall, is now enjoying full use of her legs as skating remains on her "black list." • 0 0 0 0 0 • • 0 0 0 The church school stu- dents have the sure system for making A's. They've been "polish- ing the apple" with their student- teachers, Marilyn Jahnke and Helen Schwartzkopf. Marilyn gets a fruit shower while Helen gets bananas at noon hour! Elder and Mrs. A. V. Dick and two children, Ardis and Audrey, spent a few days here visiting Mrs. Dick's sister, Lois McTag- gart, and Dr. and Mrs. E. N. Dick. They are sailing soon for China. Elder Dick is to be the director of the Shantung mission which is in the province of Shan- tung, China. MASTER COMRADE CLUB ORGANIZED Marion Travis has organized a new Master Comrade Club which will meet every Sabbath afternoon until April 12. The club sponsors classes that aim to prepare leaders for the Lord's work. The secretary of the club is Blossom Church. The organiza- tion is working on the general conference plan of having a vice president for each group. The vice presidents are: Robert John- son, DeN,vayne Lamb, Stuart Nel- son, Hugh Coy, and Norman Roy. There were fifty present at the first meeting. Gevene Rosebaugh enjoyed a family reunion with relatives she had not seen for nearly seven years during our recent Thanks- giving recess. Mrs. Ora Rose- baugh of Barnes, Kansas was hostess to her niece during the vacation. It seems that Donny Culver's tricycle be- came the object of the eyes of Lorraine Davis a n d Helen Schwartskopf. At least the end of a most dramatic evening the girls upon retiring left same in the room in promi- nent view. The next day to their "deep remorse" it was returned to Donny. A new literary figure has ari- sen on our campus. Yes, Henry Harm is writing a book on Progressive Development o f Skill in Big Game Hunting. I First, he bravely executed a mouse ( with a trap), and then he borrowed Roy Mathew's vio- lin and started to slowly torture his roommate to death. W a s Aaron Moon's face red; it seems that Mr. Moon, being in a particularly joyful mood, went singing quite loudly into the library one bright morn- ing.' Upon reaching the top of the stairs and meeting the star- tled glances of his audience, Mr. Moon suddenly became aware of his solo performance up the stairs. Nice baritone Aaron and you blush so beautifully! Now we've seen it all: Bob Bell in a football game! How does it feel to be passed forty yards, Bob? Personally I'd make them use the ball next time. PING PONG UPSET The men's singles pingpong tournament has come to a close with Joe Hunter being crowned the "king of the celluloid ball." Hunter, in the finals, defeated Malcolm Campbell by a wide margin. The surprise of the tour- nament came in the semi-finals when Campbell out-paddled Bill Zima, who was the champion last year. Campbell steadily re- turned all the drives and slams that Zima could send over the net, and beat him by a close margin in all three of their games. Wilmer Unterseher was defeated by Hunter in the semi- finals. LAWSON COPS FIRST With the playing of five games in three days, the Union college Touch-football League brought its regular season to a close Dec- ember 8. The final game was a play-off game for the champion- ship between Lawson's team and the Minnesota team, each of which neared the end of the sea- son with a record of four wins, no losses, and one tie. The play-off became necessary when it was found that the first game between the two leaders was in reality a 6-6 tie due to the fact that the referee had awarded Lawson's team a touchdown which was scored on a play not allowed by touch-football rules. Discovering the error in officiat- ing, Lawson's team generously agreed to replay the disputed game. In this final game Law-- son's team defeated Minnesota 21-6. The game was marked by good blocking and well-executed long passes, The champions line- up included: Corky Lawson, Lawrence Bogdanovich, John Bogdanovich, Olaf Hove, Earl Wilson, Duane Higgins, Eddie Burnett, and Dick \Varner. The Minnesota lineup had Russ Strom, Phil Roland, Gordon Lundburg, Jack Zima, Bill Zima, Ken Holland, Ned LaBard, Bud Gelford, and Theron Tomerason. The champions finished the season with five wins and no de- feats. Our hats go off to them. Two of the early leaders in the race, Loewen's team and the Academy team, slipped in their last few games and had to be content with third and fourth places. The other three squads, although playing brilliantly at times, lacked consistency and were never serious contenders. Throughout the season the various teams have demonstrated a great deal of enthusiasm and high qualities of sportsmanship despite inadequate facilities and a poor playing field. The con- sensus seems to be that the op- portunities for healthful out-of- door recreation provided by this sports program contributes so much to the physical well-being of all participating. Results of games played dur- ing the week following Thanks- giving vacation are as follows: December 3 � 13 7 December 4 � 20 19 December 5 26 13 12 6 28 6 of the teams won lost tied % 5 0 1 100 4 1 1 80 3 1 2 75 3 3 0 50 1 4 0 20 1 4 0 20 Wilson's Grocery SEASON'S GREETINGS College View Motors Wish you a MERRY CHRISTMAS Corner of Calvert and 48th This is not a paid poli- tical announcement!
