THE FOLLOWING letter was
received from Cpl. Jack Lemon Jr.
of the U. S. Marines. Jack is lo-
ated on an island somewhere in
the Pacific:
"We made a trip last week and
I can't tell you many of the parti-
culars but I can tell you that we
vent over to a little island named
Rennell. It was quite a place. Not
veiy many white men have been
there, in fact the first white men
went there in 1929 and we had
quite a time. We traded with them
and I got some really swell souven-
irs. It seemed funny talking to
them. It sounded like a bunch of
grown men talking baby talk. You
should see little kids that couldn't
possibly be over 5 or 6 years at
the most come out rowing a dug-
out canoe and smoking a cigarette
just as big as anything. No kid-
ding, I don't believe that you even
let me around the bathtub wh;-n I
was as big as some of them were
that were rowing the outriggei
canoes. After we landed we had
the hardest time keeping them out
of everything, they swarmed over
the plane like a bunch of ants and
believe me they were just about as
pesky. Th;y had to try to open
every drawer in the plane, they
were in everything. When we got
ready to leave we practically had to
drive thsnn out, they didn't want to
get out. It was something like 1
used to read in books."

Helps Meet Problems
"Daily vacation church schools
are helping to meet the problem of
what to do with the kiddies for
thousands of war working moth*
ers," states Miss Ruth Elizabeth
Murphy, associate director of this
work for the International Coun-
cil. "We expect a definite decline
la the rising amount of juvenile
delinquency in many communities
because of these schools in the
chiuchis." !
Protestantism is meeting the
growing demand for summer
church programs for children de-'
spite the increased lack of «rained
workers and the fewer high school
young people who can b. called
upon for assistance. Rec.'nt figures
released by Rev. Otto Mayar, di-
rector of research for the Interna-
tional Council, show that in 1W42
there w.-re 53,039 vacation church
.-«chools with 223,lfi.'i tcacners and
2,090,042 pupils, representing in-
creases of 71, 9 and 6 per cent, le-
-pectively, over thi same figurts
for 1939.
