worthy of the mantles which some
day will be laid down by Helen
Hayes, Katharine Cornell and
Lynn Fontanne. Off-hand come the
names of Dorothy Mcclure, Betty
Field and Thelma SChnee.
To contrast them with Miss Tur-
ner is not to imply that they are
more comfortable to pass on the
street when you are going in the
same direction. On the contrary,
Miss Mcclure and Miss Field
are definitely pretty, while Miss
Schnee's face has an arresting
piquancy (whateyer that means &.

1t is not to minimize glamour,

The latter do very well for them

too. Like a commencement cere-

awards the honors should wear dark

Approval of one of the Mennonite
service camps for conscientious OBJ
iectors located near Angola, Ind,

Sixth Volume By DR..
Smith Sent To Press

DR.. C. Henry Smith, professor of
history at Bluffton college, recently
sent to press his sixth book which
he has written on various phases of
Mennonite history.
This 800 page volume covers the
whole field of Mennonite History
from the time of Menno Simon down
to 1910. The book deals with the
social, economic, and cultural aspects
as we'll as the religious history of
the Mennonites in Europe and Amer
lea. Special emphasis is given in
this book to the history of Mennon-
ties since the war and to the history
of the Russian Mennonites and their
migrations.
Beginning with the life of Memo
Simon and the development of the
Anabaptist movement the book goes
on to trace the spread of the Dutch
Mennonites across the Baltic into
Prussia and then their migration to
Southern Russia under Empress
Catherine III. 1t further tells of
their experiences under the Bolshe-
wick Revolution and the final trek
of some 10000 to Canada and South

Local Pastor On Committee Approving
Former C. c. C.. Unit AS Mennonite Camp

The supervision of the immediate
projects of the camps will be pro-
vided by government trained experts
but the denominations involved are
paying the other expenses of feeding
the young men and other expenses
not yet clearly defined.
The government has been very
friendly and cooperative in the es-
tablishment of the camp, Rev. Unruh
stated. This particular camp was
constructed to accommodate 200
young men but there probably will
not be that many at the camp in
the immediate future, it was pointed
out by the committee.
Other members of the committee
working on plans for the camp in
clude: DR.. J. A. Huffman, formerly
of this place and now dean of the
school of religion at Tabor univers-
ity; Rev. Harry Yoder, graduate of
Bluffton college in the class of 1882;
DR.. Harold Bender of Goshen college
and representatives of the Defence
less and Amish branches of the Men
nonites
The group will meet again al
Goshen in the near future to further
facilitate plans for getting the pro-
gram into action.

College Letternlen
Taken Into Varsity &

In a very impressive meeting, ten

ally inducted into the Mems Varsity
"B' club at the college Monday. The

period of questioning, which was
conducted by. the regular members.

is recommended.
The purpose is to make available
more time in religious reflection,
contemplation and public devotions.
Lent in these days is a fast of 40
week days observed by the Roman,
Greek, Anglican and some Protestant
churches.
The Anglicised word "Lent" is de-
rived from the old Anglo Saxon
'Lencten" or spring.
Altho originating in antiquity,
Lenten observances took on a set
schedule in the year $40 when the
date was definitely fixed for all
Catholic Christendom. This period,
previous to the commemoration of
Easter, extends from Ash Wednes-
day to Holy Saturday, inclusive.
AS Sundays are not days of fast
ing, this gives the full complement
of 40 days, established as an analogy
between Lent and the 40 days fast
of Jesus. 1t also corresponds to the
40 days spent by Moses and Elias
| in the wilderness.
