mnt already has been organized and
equipped to carry on this type of SER
vice. Later other types of service
will be made available to the young
men in such projects as public health,
farm security, low cost housing, etc.
Although the entire cost of admin
istering the work projects is being
paid by the government no appropri-
alton has been made by it for the up
keep and maintenance of the camp,
food or wages of the boys enlisted.
These latter expenses are met by
church organizations.

The Civilian Service men receive no
wages, except for small incidental

Although the Civilian Public Ser
vice camps are supported principally
by the three historic peace churches
the Mennonite, the Quakers and the
Brethren, conscientious objectors from
practically all of the denominations
are in service at the camps.

Melvin Yoder, Former Beaver

Church Provides for Main
tenance; Government Fur
nishes Buildings

Life is no bed of roses in Mennonite
and Quaker Civilian Public Service
camps, according to Melvin Yoder,
graduate of Bluffton college in the
class of 1941, who started his duties
this week at the camp for conscien-
tious objectors located at Denison,
Iowa
Yoder resigned his teaching and
coaching position at Beaverdam High
school when his draft board at Gosh
en-, Indiana refused to grant defer
ment as requested by the Beaverdam
board of education.
Yoder was agreeably surprised
when he arrived at the camp to find
AL Bohrer and Harold Kaufman, also
Bluffton collge graduates, with whom
Yoder attended classes at the school
here, already in service at the camp.
The three young men from Bluff
ton college are rooming in the same
dormitory. The camp consists of Is
brick buildings, eight of which are
dormitories. The buildings are prac-
tically new and were used for only a
short time in CCC work.

the religious movement in Germany
but yet very powerful because most
Nazi leaders belong to one or the
other of them.
The Lutheran church is the most
prevalent religious group in Ger
many. The Confessional Lutheran
church, of which Martin Niemoeller
was the outstanding minister, is OPP
posed to the Nazi movement and has
held to the fundamentals of the
Christian faith. Niemoeller was
jailed for his utterances and his
case has attracted world wide at
tention in religious circles.
The Old Lutheran church is also
a very numerous group in Germany
and their position has generally been
one of compromise with the Nazi
state. There is much confusion
among the leaders of this body, the
speaker pointed out.
The speaker concluded with a
statement of his belief that ulti-
mately Christianity in its true form
as well as democracy will return tc
the German nation.

Christian Democracy Will Return
To Nazi Germany, Speaker States

That Christian democracy will
finally triumph in Nazi Germany
was the conclusion of Prof. A. ].
Miller, of Kent university, who ad-
dressed the Bluffton college Vesper
service at the chapel Sunday after
noon.
The background of European ma
terialistic paganism can be found in
the writings of Marx who advocated
a communistic revolution and Cob
ineau who was the racial philoso-
pher of the fascist movement. Cob
ineau stated that there is only one
superior race, the Arayans, and that
they should dominate the world and
that inferior races be shackled.
Christian democracy was crushed
between these two points of view
and the fascist and communistic
states rose in its stead, the speaker
pointed out.
There are four types of church
movements in Germany today all of
which the speaker was able to per-
sonally observe during an extended
trip to Germany several years ago
First there is the German Christian
movement in which it is claimed that
Christ was not Jew but of Ger,
manic origin. Secondly there is the
German Faith movement in which il
is admitted that Christ was a Jew
and they therefore will have moth.
ing to do with him. A Germanie
God is worshipped by this group.
The speaker pointed out that these
two groups are in the minority ir

May Haze Increase
Of Farm Accidents

Increased use of power farm ma
chinery and its operation by child
ren, women, and other inexperienced
people during the period of farm
labor shortage is likely to result in
an increase in farm accidents, which
already are more numerous than
those occurring in most other indus
tries.
Eugene L. Sparrow, agricultural
agent in Fulton county, stopped at
the farm of Levi Lukens while a
silo was being filled. The operator
of the cutter Dean Kennedy, was
standing on the corn to force it into
the cutter more rapidly.
In stepping back, Kennedy Slip
ped; and, before the machine could
be stopped, both his feet had been
amputated. He still was conscious
when taken into hospital eight
miles away.
This man was familiar with ma
chinery and was taking chances to
hasten completion of a job. His
knowledge was of no help when the
accident occurred. Persons unfamil-
lar with power machinery do not re-
alize how serious momentary care
lessness can be.
Farmers have a vital interest in
reducing the number of farm acci-
dents because Ohio laws require
farmers who hire three or more men
to carry compensation insurance or
accept financial responsibility for in
Juries to their workmen. The rec
ord of judgments returned in cases
OF farm accidents should be suffi-
clent reason for starting a safety
campaign on every Ohio farm.

TOlUn Marshal To Be
Appointed By MayOr

With the term of office for
Marshal Lee Coon expiring January
/, the office of the village marshal
as an elective post will be estab-
lished in Ohio also the first day of
the year under a new law which
went into effect this fall.
The fact that Bluffton will not
vote on candidates for marshal this
fall means the marshal as well as
the night policeman will be appoint
ed by the mayor at the first of the
new year.
In the past the office of street
commissioner has been combined with
that of marshal in Bluffton and it
is expected that the same setup will
continue in the future.
In the future the town marshal
will be officially designated as the
chief of police, and the post as
law enforcement officer will be filled
by appointment of the mayor.
Appointment of the chief police,
however, must be ratified by the
village council.
Appointive power conferred upon
the mayor by the new state law
eliminates the fall election of marsh
al, and no candidates for that post
will appear on the Bluffton munich
pal ballots this November.
After successfully serving a six
months probationary period, the po-
lice chiefs and other appointed en-
forcement officers will remain in Of
flee until removed for cause.
In case of removals, the law pro-
vides for an appeal from the de-
cision of the village council to the
court of common pleas to determine
the sufficiency of the cause listed.
Appeals, however, must be made
within 10 days of dismissal.
