SANTIAGO CREETS SYNOD PRESIDENT
Rev. Dr. Samuel Trexler Making Missionary Tour
 of South America

A storm in the Andes delayed the
 airplane arrival of the Rev. Dr. Samuel Trexler, president of the United Lutheran Synod of New
 York, at Buenos Aires, Argentina, from Santiago, Chile, where he had
 arrived on the first lap of his mis- ] sionary tour of South America in
 behalf of the Board of Foreign Mis- sions of the United Lutheran Church in America, of which he is president.
 Four missionaries greeted pr.
 Trexler Sunday (July 27 at the
 Buenos Aires airport and rushed
 him to a waiting congregation of 200 worshippers-"a a true League of
 Nations" as he stated in cable received this week at the Lutheran
 Church House, New York City. He
 sailed from New York July 4th on
 the Santa Lucia, and his visit to
 the Argentine mission, of which the Rev. and Mrs. J. M. Armbruster, are the senior missionaries, was his first major activity. He told his con- gregation that South America is a AASW 4AOPC O4 1IAC WOALuJ dlIQ ddUSQ that the church would play an im-
 portant part in creating civiliza-
 tion that would give reality to that new hope.
 Following the service a reception
 was held at a girls school connec-
 ted with the mission. The Luther
 ans have college in Buenos Aires
 attended by 500 students in the pri-
 mary, commercial and high school
 departments-a successful enter
 prise, practically self-supporting. This week Dr. Trexler inspected the college and the six Spanish con- gregations of the Buenos Aires mis- sion; he also plans to inspect the Lutheran work going on in the FL
 dorado district of the Misiones ter- ritory, bordering on Brazil.
 pr. Trexler's journey continues on
 August 8th with a flight to Rio de
 Janeiro, where he will stay week On the 18th he leaves for George
 town, British Guiana, and on the 24th proceeds to Trinidad, then to Puerto Rico and Miami. He is due
 in New York the first week of Sep- tember.

lived it right down to the core. Their singing was what pleased Georgia most. He claims their vocal efforts are conducted with out an organ, or other accom- paniment and that the way the congregation pins back it's ears and hOwls is genuine inspiration to any sinner.
 Georgia claims that Primitive Baptists have one ironclad rule; not only do their preachers re- frain from soliciting funds among the members of the parish but each and every minister of that exclusive sect does a mans work with his hands every day. The garden crops raised by Primitive Baptists would feed half of Eu- rope and their pumpkins are big ger than anything exhibited at Wolcott Fair or Springfield.
 South Britain would be a great place to start Primitive BaptistS here in the east. We need an in- spirational church here that is concerned with s0uI-saving and that can conduct such effort on an economical basis. We require just that type of leadership that they enjoy, men who work with their hands and earn their keep.
 The sanitary arrangements at the defective hospital have re- gently undergone renovation and flushing out. Help from outside was employed. The original work was handled during the wave of WPA projects in the valley.
 We hear that teachers at Yale Summer School enjoy this cOl- umn and are especially interested in our comments on the COnnecti- cut Milk Producers association. Watch this space for new news of milk, and everything else. Our research workers know their stuff and we have the low-down on agricultural economies and other rackets. Some dag, when copy is
 slow coming in, we'll tell about that tobacco coop.
 Governor Hurley returned from Camp Blanding with 8 fever. Wonder If any of the troops on parade down there were afflicted?
 Ever hear of Q Massachusetts mechanic? We'll, since we've enc jOyed tor endured) the latest in- dustriaI boom here, our nelghbOr to the North has unl0aded . great number of hands on our unsus- pecting manufacturers. Some of these Massachusetts people are fairly good unslFilled help, others spread their tall-feathers wider and cause hard feelings.

gently about the right to vote, and the privilege of voting but 1t should not be overlookd that voting is also an obligation. Careful and objective voting is the luxury of free peo- pie, and we should all make use of it in order to remain free. Voting is the very keynote of the democra- tic process.
 Jury duty, too, combines privi- lege with obligation. In many coun- tries today the right of an accused person to have trial by his peers is in fact if not in theory, denied, and the concentration camps are full of people who know not why they are there. In this country we believe in the right of every man to be heard and judged by his fellows, and serv- ing on juries ourselves is the best way to assure fair treatment of those accused.
 To some extent, each individual must decide for himself where his chief abilities and his chief useful ness lie, and develop them to the fullest. Special skills of any kind can be made useful to the task of national defense, directly or indi- rectly. Courses are being offered all over the country to develop skills particularly necessary for defense industries. Volunteers are being en- rolled and registered, and any indi- vidual should be able to find some way to make himself useful.
 One of the cardinal necessities in any effort is physical as well as mental health, and this is of great importance in any emergency like the present. Health contributes to our endurance, our usefulness, and our morale.
 Finally, morale itself is an incal- culable factor, with which all of us are vitally concerned. and in which each of us can play his part. We ned not-indeed we can not-praise everything in the existing order of things as perfect. but we can be hopeful of improvement in that or der. We can all cherish the hope that the world will once more emerge from the present dark age into the light. By maintaining hope in our country, we can help to main tain it all over the world.

.17,OOO KILLED
 AT OCCUPATIONS
l04O Figures Show In- crease Over Previous
 Year

Occupational accidents took 8 toll of 17,O00 lives last year in this na- tion-1 500 more than in 1889, an increase of, 10 per cent, the National Safety Council reported in its 1941 bulletin.
 There was an increase of only Dor 3 per cent in employment which has been the first such increase since 1886. The rise in employment dur ing 1940 was equal to that of 1939 and an increase over that of 1938 But the deaths dropped three per cent in 1889 while an increase was noted for 1940 with practically the same rise in employment.
 Employees in the agricultural deaths, and 194O listed 4,5OO who died from accidental causees in this enterprise. Trade and service em- ployeS were also high on the list with S,700. Construction trades throughout the nation took 3,100 lives.
 Two thousand persons lost their lives in the factories of the nation and yet no one can say exactly how many industrial accidents are due to particular, cause. In the ma jority of cases accidents in the in- dustrial field are caused by & connbi- nation of causes. The council study pointed out that in it's study of causes, they grouped them into three classifications: unsafe acts, mechanical causes and personal causes.
 Overlooking led in the unsafe acts with poor arrangement as a con- tributory factor in accidents. Two other causes in this group stressed were unsafe equipment and !m- proper use of equipment. The third listed was unnecessary exposure to danger.
 The mechanical causes listed two of the more frequent accidents which arise from hazardous ar- rangement and procedure and de- fective agencies.
 The personal causes categorically included improper attitude and lack of knowledge or skill.
 The safety council report revealed that these causes which are con- tributory as well as proximate must be eliminated by corrective meas ureS.
