CARRY SUPPLIES

Capt. James Wilson, assistant
American military at a he at
Chungking, is directing the move
ment of hundreds of American
made trucks which are carrying a
steady stream of United States
war supplies TO China over the
Burma Road
In order to protect the road
from aerial attack, anti-aircraft
batteries and hidden airdromes are
being established all along it.
lAmerican-made fighter planes will
be stationed on these airdromes TO
resist any attempted japanese
aerial attack.
The decision TO regard the
Burma Road as vital to American
defense is based on this govern
lments conviction that continued
Chinese resistance TO Japanese ag-
gression is essential TO America s
strategic position in the Far East.
RESTRICT JAPS
American officials believe the
fact the japanese army is begged
down in China is one of the major
factors holding the Nippon Empire
in check in the Pacific. If organ.
lied Chinese resistance collapses
Officials point out Japan's military
freedom to move north or south
will be greatly strengthened.
This governments decision In
regards to the Burma Road will be
made clear TO Saburo Kurusu
special Nippon envoy, when he
arrives in Washington to confer
with Secretary of State Cordell
Hull.

parts of the United States and in
foreign countries.
The department of education
headed by Dean Schultz has an ex-
ceptional record of success in train
ing and placing teachers. Teachers
are and have been serving in num-
erous local and more distant COM
munities. A course in visual edu-
cation taught by DR.. Ramseyer, a
specialist in this field, was a new
and unique feature of the training
this year.
The various departments il. ian

many and diverse ways the college

welfare and the advancement of the
Bluffton community; in turn the
community has made many anc
valuable contributions to the college

the first president; he was followed
by DR.. S. K. Mosiman who for
twenty-five years faithfully guided
the devel ypment and expansion of
the institution.
The present Music Hall was ac-
quired in 1909. 1t was first used
as a girls dormitory. In 1915 and
the period Immediately following
there were added the Science Hall,
Ropp Hall, and the Heating Plant.
To all these projects the community
contributed faithfully in materials,
labor and money. In 1916 with the
aid of studen. and faculty labor and
contributions of materials and money
by the community and friends of
the college, the gymnasium was
added. The cooperation shown in
this project by the students, faculty
and the community has ever since
remained as the symbol of the Bluff
ton spirit.
By 1923 the need for a mems
dormitory again called forth the CO.
operative effort of the college and
the community, and Lincoln Hall be-
came a reality. 1t houses from 80
to 100 young amen each year. In
1890 Mr.. and Mrs. C. II. Musselman

the independent union-withdrew
the picket lines it had established at
shipyards and other defense plants
in protest against the dismissal of

In transbay Oakland and Rich

ions locals decided that token"
picketing at changes in shift would
be maintained while the War Labor
Board studied the issues in dispute.
Shipbuilders and other defense
employers said they were obliged to
discharge the independent welders
because these workers declined to pay
dues to A. F. L. unions, particularly
the boilermakers, with which the
employers have labor contracts.
The velders are campaigning for
