Newly Installed Chimes At College
To Be Dedicated In Recital Sunday

siman, wife of the late president of
Bluffton College, is scheduled to give
a brief talk at the ceremony. Presi-
dent Ramseyer will also speak.
Sufficient money remained from
the gift to procure an simplifying
system. The amplifier of so watt
power is capable of sending the
sound for a radius of one-half mile.
Three speakers were installed in the
tower, covering all the area around
the campus. The equipment was pur-
chased from M. II. Gray, Spring
field sound technician, who has re-
Gently installed several large outfits
at various places in Ohio.
The microphone is installed in the
organ in such a manner that it
picks up both the chimes and the
organ. The amplifer will be con-
trolled from the console. The am
plifying system is so arranged that
it can also be used to accommodate
overflow crowds with speeches from
the chapel. Attachments are also
available for records of chimes. Ac-
cording to President Ramseyer, plans
are underway to have the chimes
played at certain time each day
throughout the wear.

Started Career as Printers
Apprentice, Working for
Years Without Pay
Later Represented u. S. in
Courts of England and
France

South America as a land of
strange ontrasts-ranging from
miserable poverty to luxurious living,
from democracy to totalitarianism
and from primitive conditions to
ultra-modern, was described in a
Vespers address given by DR.. A. w.
Cordier, professor of history at Man
chester college, North Manchester,
Ind, at the Bluffton college chapel
Sunday afternoon.
DR.. Cordier, chairman of the
Brethren Service committee, Travelled
in all but two of the Latin Ameri-
can nations last summer with Orrie
Miller, chairman of the Mennonite
Central committee.
Geographically there are also many
contrasts in the country with the
huge Amazon valley in the central
portions and the mountainous re-
gions in the west and south. These
contrasts in geography in turn pro-
duce contrasts in the types of peo.
pie as result of adaptations to en-.
vironment. In the Amazon valley
alone there are more than 400 In
dian dialects, the speaker said.
ORIENTAL INFLuENCE
An Oriental influence is very
marked in the Indians of Ecuador
Many of the Indians are nomadic in
nature while other groups have lived
at the same spot for generations.
Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires,
Montevideo and other large cities
are as modern and up-to-date as
any metropolis in the world and have
stores equal in facilities and mer-
chandise to anything in Paris or
New York. In contrast to the lux
ury of the cities is the almost primi-
tive conditions in which large masses
of people live in the open country.
POLITICAL CONTRASTS
Politically there are strange con-
trasts in the country with Uruguay,
Argentine, Chile and Colombia being
quite democratic in structure as OPP
posed to many of the other coun-
tries which are totalitarian in meth
DDS.
Economically there is a rich ruling
class which owns most Of the land
and does most of the governing. Al
the other extreme are the poverty
stricken masses who are the gov.
erned.
Missionaries are very active in

dowment investments.

South America Is Land Of Contrasts
College Vespers Speaker Says Here

those early days one could find very
few books in the homes but in place
Of them could be found an almanac
which told about the weather, the
days Of the month and the weeks in
addition TO recipes and all sorts of
household sayings In addition it
had wise sayings and choice bits of
reading. Franklin printed the al
nlanac and called il Poor Richards
Almanac,
STATESMAN AND SCHOLAR
By this time Franklin became one
Of the most learned men in the col
ony in spite Of the fact that he had
never gone to school since he was
10 years old. II was in this period
that England had passed some un-
Just taxing laws on the colonies and
Franklin was Immediately sent to
England to obtain an adjustment on
the matter.
The situation grew worse and Pat
rick Henry made a speech urging
the colonists to go to war against
, England rather than submit to such
actions This time Franklin was
sent to France to enlist French help
in the prosecution of the war against
England. He was very popular in
France and won the French sympa-
thies and assistance.
Some historians say that his eff
forts in getting French assistance
save the country from defeat. Later
on after victory Franklin had an
important part in framing the Con
stitution. When this work was done
he became active in a society to
free the Negro slaves and was work
ing for this with all of his vigof

DIR. Dafoe, OF Quintuplet Fame,
On Train Passing Thru BlufftOn

DIR. Allan Roy Dafoe, who was
carried to fame and fortune by the
Dionne quintuplets, passed thru
Bluffton last Friday on the Nickel
Plate railroad, enroute to Findlay
where he lectured at Findlay college
in the evening.
DR.. Dafoe was on the 2:10 p. m.
passenger train which stopped at the
Bluffton station for several minutes.
Howard Stager, local truck oper-
ator, was told by the conductor of
the train that DR.. Dafoe was one of
the passengers.
In his Findlay lecture, the Cana
dian doctor described many of the
hardships and dilemmas which faced
him in caring for his practice ex-
tending over 400 square miles OF

Benjamin Franklin's Birthday Saturday
Recalls Humanitarianism OF Great Leader

South America and many of them
are engaged in a very significant
type of work including agriculture,
vocational, medical, educational pro-
grams as well as religious.
MUCH ILLITERACY
With go to 80 per cent of the
population illiterate this factor has
been one of the principal bars to
the growth of democracy, DR.. Cor
dier pointed out. Two other factors
are important in the slow growth of
democracy-the sparse population
and the lack of democratic tradition.
The South American landowning
system has had an important effect
on the culture of the country. With
most of the land in the hands of
the wealthy few a definite class con-
sciousness is evident in the country.
Nationality groups came to the
country in the 10Th and goth cen
turies and have been an important
factor in the country's history. The
German group has been the most in
tiuential because of a good trade
policy, an excellent diplomatic serv-
ice and an elaborate propaganda
set-up. The German group has gen
orally maintained its own culture
avoiding fusion, the speaker stated
The Germans, however, carried the
propagandistic efforts too far and
are losing prestige. The recent
shooting of French hostages il
France by the Nazis has aroused
considerable resentment against tn,
Germans.
GOOD NEIGffsoR POLICY
Generally the good neighbor policy
of the United States has been very
successful. -Four factors have pre-
JUDGED the South Americans against
the United States: l. The Monroe
Doctrine which was regarded as g
one nation policy. 2. So called
Yankee Imperialism. 3. Poor loar
policy. 4. The false picture of Amer
lea obtained through Hollywood mo
ton pictures.
Feeling towards United States
greatly improved when the marine.
were removed, the Platt amendment
repealed, the loan policy adjusted
and the imports increased. These
actions caused the South American!
to believe that Uncle Sam was sin
cere.
In closing DR.. Cordier advised tha
United States should make an effor
to understand the South American
rather than treat them as subject
of charity. He pointed out that i
the Latins could visit the Unite,
States many of the prejudices woul,
be removed.
Dr.. Cordier expressed the hop
that the gains in relationship wit
South America would be strengthen
ed during the present war crisi
rather than weakened.

in early days, but the doctor said
he was more interested in the well
fare of persons than in money.
People aften asked him how he
felt when the famous quintuplets
were born, and Dr. Dafoe's answer
was that he was "too busy, I didn't
feel anything.
Today the quintuplets are normal
children, eight years old, each about
so inches in height, weighing about
81 pounds. Altho physically alike,
they are different temperamentally,
the doctor said.
Yvonne wants to be the boss
Cecile and Anette are of fashion
able nature. Emile is continually
getting into trouble and Marie is
the most melancholy.
In conclusion, DR.. Dafoe recon-
mended the common sense treatment
in bringing up any child as the mos
| beneficial for it.

Anniversary of the Arbitration
Treaty with Canada, signed on jan
uary IL, 1909, on Monday of this
week, finds the two American demo-
cracies in the closest collaboration
in the history of their relationships
during this period of war effort.
The Canadian Prime Minister Will
liam Mackenzie King of Canada
and President Roosevelt have had
discussions concerning joint war eff
fort and with the recent visit of
Prime Minister Churchill of Great
Britain the effort has become even
more united.
Very close industrial ties between
the two countries have been worked
out by the governing officials. Nu-
merous important parts to tanks,
guns and airplanes are made in
Canadian factories and then shipped
to this country for assembly into
the finished unit.
Most of the eleven million people
of Canada live close to the border OF

OF Treaty With Canada
Monday Finds Two Nations United

Canada also is the country most
visited by Americans. Every year
Is million Americans cross the bord-
er into Canada, some to work and
others to enjoy winter and summer
vacations.
Bluffton people very frequently
visit the neighboring country and
report a highly interesting travel ex-
perience. Local residents generally
point out that Canada is the closest
place to visit where a complete
change of culture and living can be
found.
Some have said that Canada can
be considered an extension of the
United States. This is not the case,
however. Although she has many
important ties with both the United
States and Great Britain, she is an
important nation in her own right.
As is the case in this country, the
war has united Canada in a very
definite manner In the past the
differences between the French speak
ing Canadians of Quebec and the
| English speaking farmers of Alberta,
Saskatchewan, have caused some
misunderstanding.
But now all divisions and differ
ences have been buried in the COM
mon aim and thought which is to CO.

enemy of the peoples with love for

Certain beef is called "corned"
This comes from the old verb ito

cure by sprinkling with grains Of
salt" The verb in turn came from
the noun corn" which referred to
any small hard particle such as a
grain or seed. Peppercorn is sur
