SYNOD CONDUCTS
 $3OO,OOO DRIVE
SOuthingtOn Pastor Chair man for Wagner-Hart-
 Colleges Appeal

New York, Sept. 27.-Reverend George Hackman, president of the New England Conference of the United Lutheran Synod of New York and pastor of the First Lutheran church at Southington, Connecticut, has been named chair man for the Conferences effort in the Wagner -Harwick colleges joint campaign for $300,000 being con- ducted throughout the New York Synod by the United Lutheran church.
 The Synod's $So0,00O campaign for its two colleges has reached the $75 900 mark as the result of drives conducted in the upstate confer ences of New York during the first five months of this year. Many churches in these areas have not yet finished their work and others are about to begin drives so that an additional $25,000 is practically assured before the close of the campaign.
 Wagner,s share of the funds raised during this campaign will be used in mortgage reduction and Hartwick's share will erect an Arts and Religion building on its campus. Wagner college is located on Grimes Hill, Staten Island, New York and Hartwick college at One- o11ta, N. Y.
 The New England Conference has been divided into three districts for the campaign with one center ing around Hartford, one around New Haven and one aroudn Bos- ton including all Lutheran churches in Massachusetts. Preliminary work is going ahead in all three raeaS with active drives in the churches scheduled to get underway during october.
 The pastors who have been ap- pointed to serve as district chair men are: Reverend Herman Mack ensen, Trinity church, Hartford and Reverend R. A. Heydenreich, St. Paul's Middletown, co-chairmen of the Hartford area; Reverend 0. R. Reisch, St. Paul'S church, Bridge port, New Haven chairman; and Reverend Edmund Ste!mle, Univer- sity Lutheran Association, Cam. bridge, the Massachusetts chairman.
 In addition to the campaign this fall in the New England Conference, drives will be carried on in the Island Conferences. Preliminary work is now underway in these New Jersey, New York and Long areas.

RELIGIOUS WEEK
 OPENS TOMORROW
Protestant Educational Council FavOrs Giving
 Youths More Training
BY J.'EDWARD MURRAY (United Press Staff CorrespOndentl

Chicago, Sept. 27-(UP)-The all- denominational Protestant educa- tional council has announced a re- ligious training program embracing l5,000, 900 "unreached' children as the goal of Religious Education Week, Sept. 28 to Oct. 5.
 The council-officially the In- ternational Council of Religious Ed ucation representing 90 per cent of all Protestantism in the United States and Canada already is shaping plans for a four-year United Christian Education Ad- vance. Religious Education Week will be the first step in the cam paign.
 The council, through its 30 state councils, 69 city councils and 500 county groups, has been studying the problem of the "unreached in the churches of its 40 denomina- tions sirce 1888.
 The United Christian Edudcation Advance, to begin next February upon the groundwork laid during the Sept. 28-Oct. 4 week, is Pro- testantisms answer to recent gov- ernment surveys showing that more than half the school age children in America are still without any form of religious instruction.
 Isolated Area, tO Come First
 The nucleus of the nationwide program, according to the inter nation councils field director, John B. Ketchom of Chicago, will be the establishment of church schools in the most out-of-the-way places in the country.
 'The children of the migrants with no home, no school and no church of their own will fird a program waiting for them in many places wherever they stop along the 'Oakie trail, Ketcham said.
 Children in the tobacco fields along the Connecticut river. in the southern Ohio coal mining area. ir the backwoods of Kentucky and from the farms and cranberry bogi of New Jersey = ali will find some church school eager to reach them.
 Ketchara explained that all Pro. testant denominations would at- tempt to 'remarshai the missionary spirit of the church in educational work" during Religious Edugation week. He said the weeks theme would be:
 christian education as the foun- dalton of our democracy"
 "It ls only by such concentra- ton Of effort that new reiigioul training units will be sot up e

include children, youth and adults.
 Ore feature of the fall program l. the Presiding Bishops suggestion that every one of the Episcopal dioceses and missionary districts shall conduct clergy and lay con- ferences early this fall. Says he: Since worship and prayer are the primary objectives for the year, a portion of clergy conferences could well be devoted to spiritual prep aration for the season ahead. Such conferences are not only to lay the foundation for the seasons activities, the Presiding Bishop suggests, but to consider programs of both parishes ard dioceses, to- gether with study of financial needs and final planning for the annual Every Member Canvass which will be conducted on a nationwide scale in November.
 To-day America prepares swift ly for defense" Bishop Tucker says. "Your parish church, right at your very doorstep, is one of the na- tion's great defense centers; an arsenal of Christian democracy. Af- ter the present struggle, a lasting peace can only be built on sturdy Christian principles. You can play your part in strengthening this arsenal, through regular worship, work, prayer and giving"

Rosary Shrine Plans
 October Celebration
Feast of Our Lady of the ORsary to Be COmmemOrated
 in Summit, N. J., Fifth Day Next Month

The Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary on Sunday, October 5, will again be celebrated with great Solemnity at Rosary Shine, Summit, N. J.. as preparations proceed to fulfill the desires of the Roman Pom tiff, Plus XII, who, few months ago, asked that white hosts of chill dren flock to the shrineS of Our Lady to pray for peace.
 God Is everywhere and Mary has altars in all Catholic churches; still there are places where she more especially desires to be invoked, Among her blessed Sanctuaries, Ros- ary Shrine Is one where everything speaks of her loving goodness. Here thousands will gather to take part in the demonstrations of filial grati- tude, of confidence and of love to- ward her who being their Queen ever remains their Mother.
 The Pilgrimage exercises will open with the procession in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary on the beautiful grounds of the new monas- tery. Cross bearer and acolytes will lead the procession, followed by va- riouS church groups and societies, each bearing their particular insig- mia. Cap and gown students from several high schools and colleges will form e special section of the colorful procession in Mary's honor. Little girls in white with wreaths or wells, altar boys with caSgocks and Surplices, are invited to form 8 guard of honor to the Most Bless ed Sacrament.
 This grand procession, which is a principal feature of the pilgrimage, celebrates the goodness of God to- wards us. It is & great power to obtain for the church, for our country, for all nations, the most efticacious and timely protection of the Divine mercy. The Virgin of the Rosary is the devoted mediatrix into whose hands We place our peti- tionS for spiritual and temporal blessings, as the repeated "AveS" call upon her aid. She has often an- Swered the appeal in extraordinary ways. The victory of Lepanto, to commemorate which the Feast of the Rosary was instituted, confirms the fact of Mary's maternal inter- vention for the cause of her chil- dren. No favor is too little or too great to ask of the Queen of the Rosary.
 The solemn pilgrimage novena will begin on September 26. All inten- tions sent in will be placed near the Altar of Exposition. and will be remembered in the Masses dur ing these nine days as well as in the prayers and good works of the colistered sisters.
 Those wishing to make a private retreat in preparation for Our Lady,t

reach the unreached," Ketcham said. We expect the program to embrace 15,0O0,000 children and 100000 adults, now without re- ligious training, and thus to com plete the moral rearmament of Americans"
 Work and Play Combined
 The councils foundation for build- ing new training units consists of a multifarious program of instruction during released time" in public schools, in Sunday schools, in sum- mer vacation schools combining work, worship and play, and in thou sands of vacations camps where re- ligion is made paramount.
 The council through its network of subsidiary organizations has ob- tained released time from the regular school curriculum in 39 states. Courcil figures show that more than a million young people took advantage of the religious in struction during time freed from public school work last year. Churches will renew their fight for more released time in states per- mitting it and try to extend this idea to the remianirg nine stats.
 The 37 denominations which sup- ported summer vacation schools at- tended by more than 100000 chil- dren in l94l expect to increase at- tendance in l942.
 The leadership educational de- partment of the council is training thousands of new leaders for ac- tivity in many camps and in Sum- day schools. the latter still being the channel which reaches the largest number of young people.
