Dr. Randolph C. Miller, profes-
sor of Christian education at
Yale Divinity School, New Ha-
ven, Conn., reports that parents
and children in increasing num-
bers are worshiping together in
one unified Sunday morning
worship service. This new plan
has been hailed as the most suc-
cessful single development in the
churches’ program to provide a
ministry to the needs of the en-
tire family as a unit. Another
trend fast becoming an accepted
pattern in American churches is
the use of teams made up of hus-
band and wife or man and wo-
man, as teachers in Sunday
School.
A pastor in Albany, N. Y., has
developed a unique way of help-
ing meet some of the problems
raised in counselling with his
parishioners. The Rev. Kermit L.
Lawton, of the Madison Ave.
Baptist Church, has enlisted the
aid of a panel of experts. The
panel includes a practicing phy-
sician, a psychiatrist, a consult-
ing psychologist, a psychiatric
social worker, an attorney, a
school nurse and a neighboring
Presbyterian minister with
psychiatric training. The experts,
who volunteer their time, meet
once a month to review cases
and make recommendations. The
reports are presented by Mr.
Lawton and usually all direct
contacts with counsellees are
made by him. Panel experts
rarely meet or know the names
of the persons.
Beauson Tseng (Tseng Yu-
nung) is the newly-elected presi-
dent of Tunghai University, For-
mosa. Dr. Tseng has recently
been in New York to consult
with the United Board for Chris-
tian Colleges in China on curri-
culum, staff and buildings for
the new university of which the
Board is trustee. The universi-
ty is scheduled to open in Sept.
Tunghai University, the first
Christian institution of higher
education in Taiwan (Formosa),
will start with a College of Arts
and a College of Science. It is to
be coeducational, and will fea-
ture a student work-study pro-
gram similar to the Berea Col-
lege (Kentucky) plan. The archi-
tectural scheme of Tunghai has
been developed by Mr. I. M. Pei,
head of the architectural division
of Webb and Knapp, New York
realtors, as a contribution to the
University.
Most recent reports from the
National Service Board of Religi-
ous Objectors (to military ser-
vice) indicate that there are about
5,000 men currently in “ alterna-
tive service” (non-military) ap-
proved by the U. S. Government.
These men are in useful work,
much of it in hospitals, contribut-
ing to the national welfare. More
than half this total are members
of various Menonite churches, in-
cluding the Amish constituency;
and another thousand are mem-
bers of small and independent
groups generally known as “the
sects.” Of the larger church fam-
ilies, the Methodists have 44 men
in alternative service; the Pres-
byterian 14; the Evangelical and
Reformed 12; the Seventh Day
Adventists 12; Congregationalists
10; Episcopalians 5.
With Dr. E. Stanley Jones,
noted world evangelist and mis-
sionary to India, as their guide,
some 1500 men and women, from
all walks of life and from every
state in the U. S. A., have been
spending periods of a week in
six “ashrams” in the U. S. and
one in Canada this summer. An
ashram is a rural “retreat”
where people gather for prayer,
meditation, and unhurried talk
with a spiritual leader and, where
they attempt “to gain spiritual
repose and a sence of oneness
with God and his universe.” The
idea comes from ancient India
where these gatherings were in
the forests. This is the 16th con-
secutive year in which Dr. Jones
had led such ashrams in the Uni-
ted States, under the auspices of
the National Council of Church-
es. . He has also conducted per-
manent ashrams in India.
One of the most fruitful pro-
jects lostered in Korea under
missionary auspices and through
Churcn World Service has been
the organization of “Widow’s
Sewing Circles’. In practically all
parts of Korea such circles have
been organized by the churches

"I conceive that the land belongs to a vast family,
of which many are dead, few are living, and count-
less numbers are still unborn."
Cross- fencing has proven to be
a valuable tool in good range
management in the Gillespie
Soil Conservation District. Many
ranchers have put their ranges
well on the road to recovery by
deferring pastures created by
constructing cross fences. Many
ranchers can not start a deferred
grazing system until they have
constructed cross-fences.
This was the case when Leo-
nard Loth of the Petersburg com-
munity cross-fenced his large
pasture of about equal size. Mr.
Lott gave one pasture three con-
secutive summer deferments.
These deferments enabled the
tall grasses such as Lttle Blue-
stem, Big Bluestem, Indiangrass,
and others to increase in number.
When the deferment system was
started these high forage pro-
ducing grasses were few and far
between. Now, these grasses are
the dominant plants in the pas-
ture.
Lott started deferring his oth-
er pasture this spring. With good
seasons, he expects this pasture
in as good shape as the other in
a few years.
Other ranchers in ths District
who have constructed cross-fenc-
es to permit deferment of a pas-
ture are W. O. Pape of Peters-
burg, C. O. Beeler of Eckert, and
Charles Moss of Willow City.
Benno Meyer of the Cherry
Mountain Community removed
all of his stock from a sixty-five
acre pasture last spring to graze
in his fields. This deferment per-
mitted the tall grasses in the pas-
ture to make good growth and
mature a seed crop. Now the pas-
ture has a good cover and the
tall grasses have started to
spread Mr. Meyer was surprised
that the tall grasses were still
living. But most pastures in the
District have a fair seed scource
of these tall grasses in the brush
and other lightly grazed areas
and will respond favorably when
given a deferment. This reduc-
tion of the grazing pressure
gives the more adapted tall gras-
and schools, gathering women
widowed by the war into small
cooperatives where they are able
to make a livelihood or part-live-
lihood for themselves and for
their children. In the city ol
Seoul, nine such circles have
formed the “Korean Woman’s
Exchange” through which are
sold most of the articles made
by the women. The Exchange
now has two sales outlets and
plans to open a third in the city.
Other cities are planning similar
exchanges. “We have felt that
the best way to help the people is
to help them help themselves,
and this is an excellent example
of the work of this system,”
says Mrs. Ruth Burkholder,
Methodist missionary who has
been working with the Korean
widows.
ses a chance to make good
growth and gain the upper hand
over the poor grasses that in-
crease with overgrazing.

For they are in control of that

They are there with their rifles
and their bayonets and their dogs
tonight, and have closed in on
other transit points like the Pots-

well. Generally, it has been easy
to go in and out of the Soviet
Sector here, and I have done so
many times. And incidentally, 1
think that the description H. V.
Kaltenborn gave of this, when we
were here together in 1954 is the
best I ever heard. But you don’t
go in and out of there tonight
without a pass, believe me. If
you’re listening tonight, Hans,
there’s a change, my friend, and
a very real one. Something is

Baptist Baptismal
Service Held
Sunday Afternoon
The Baptist Baptismal Service
was held Sunday afternoon at 3
in Devil’s River on the Carlos
Parker Ranch. Richard Bier-
schwale led in the singing of
“Shall We Gather at the River”
and “Take My Life and Let It
Be”. Rev. Darwin W. Brown,
pastor of the Baptist church read
the account of the baptism of the
Ethiopian Eunuch from Acts 8:
26-39, and brought a brief mes-
sage on the Significance of Bap-
tism. He pointed out it protrays
the death, burial and resurrec-
tion of Christ and also the believ-
ers’ death to sin, burial and new
life in Christ Jesus.
The following were immersed
in baptism: Narine Barker, Bon-
nie and Doris Frederich, Edith
and Ellis Ellebracht and Logan
Stevens by Rev. Brown. These
were given the hand of church
and Christian fellowship after
their baptism welcoming them
into the fellowship of the Baptist
church. A. B. Barker dismissed
the group in prayer.
Boyd Thurmann left recently
for New Mexico, where he has
accepted a position.

Phene 34
Fredericksburg, Texas
I happen to believe that not
everyone should go to college.
A degree is no magic key that
opens doors, no badge of superior-
ity. As a matter of fact, four
out of five youngsters today are
getting their “higher learning”
through apprentice training cr a
job, a trade school or a corre-
spondence course.
But suppose your youngster
has special ability, iiis heart set
on college—and a slim pocket-
book?
Here are seven ways to jump
the financial hurdles:
First, don’t underestimate low-
cost, publicity supported schools
whore a student can get through
for as little as $600 a year for
room and board, books and
spending money. Fortunately
the price tag on a college educa-
tion is no measure of the value
of education itself. Your public
library probably has a book cal-
led “American Universities and
Colleges” published by the Amer-
ican Council on Education. It:
will give you a general idea about
various colleges, their rates, en-
rollment and courses.
Second, remember that 60 per
cent of all college students work.
Wages average $1 an hour and
most colleges maintain a. student
employment bureau. During the
summer, many students can earn
between $300 to $600. In consid-
ering a college, look in the cata-
log to see if co-op boarding
houses are on the campus. Here
students do the work and cut as
much as $200 off their yearly
bill.
Third; There is a little-known,
$42 Million kitty, much of it go-
ing begging, in the coffer's of
colleges in the form of scholar-
ships and fellowships. Other un-
counted millions are available
through fraternal organizations,
churches, labor unions and pri-
vate foundations. The average
undergraduate scholarship is $220
a year; the average fellowship a-
bout $675. You can get details
in a book at the library called
“Scholarships, Fellowships and
Loans” by S. Norman Feingold.
For 55 cents you can get a book-
let entitled “Scholarships and
Fellowships Available at Institu-
tions of Higher Learning” from
the Superintendent of Documents,
Washington 25, D. C.
Fourth: There is another $50
Million pool of money available
for lending at interest rates from
3 per cent to 6 per cent, payable
in installments after graduation.
Most of this is. in the hands of
the universities and colleges, but
some is provided by trusts, estat-
es, unions, churches, women’s or-
ganizations and alumni groups.,
There is one drawback for bor-
rowing money for college. A stud-
ent who borrows $500 at 4 per
cent interest for four years and
repays it within four years after
graduation adds about 15 per cent
to the cost of his education. These
payments come at a time when
the graduate’s income is low and
his expense high.
Fifth: There is now an organi-
zation called The Tuition Plan,
Inc., of New York. _ Through it
parents borrow money for tuition,
board and room and repay it in
equal monthly installments, plus
4 per cent interest. Working stud-
ents may use this method too.
If the college is a participant in
the Tuition Plan, it will be-so
stated in the catalog.
Sixth: If your youngster is still
in grade school, give thought now
to saving through the well-known
plans offered by insurance com-
panies, through, purchase of gov-
vernment bonds, savings and loan
programs, or investment in mut-
ual funds.
Seventh: Under the GI bill, vete-
rans in service of Jan. 31,1955 re-
reive $110 to $160 a month for full
time attendance at college. For 2
years service, a GI may receive
these payments for three years.
Under the Naval ROTC program,
a boy agreeing to serve for three
years on active duty or eight
years in the reserves and to fol-
low a rather strict course of
study, will receive a free educa-
tion plus $50 a month for mainte-
nance.
No matter how slim your pay
check, the educational opportun-
ities in this country are incom-
parable.
