This was not the first plane built

A farm boy from upper New York state went to China thirty years ago as an evangelical mis- sionary, saw the hunger of the people, turned to agriculture, and is said to have done more to re- volutionize the food production and life of the Chinese farmer than has any other person. He is the Rev. Charles Riggs, now professor of agricultural mechanics at the Uni versity of Nanking-in-exile, some where in West China" During the years he has given Chinese farmers a new and simple loom, numerous machines and farm tools, cotton gins, blows, drills, pumps and farm carts. The Chinese government has decorated him with the Order of the Jade, in recognition of his hero- ic work on behalf of Nanking civ- ilians during Japanese occupation.
 The problems of the men in the service are largely variations upon mo r.

EXTENSION DEPT. OF U. OF A. HAS
 MANY SERVICES

The Extension Service of the
 University of Alaska is supported by the Federal Department of Agri- culture and appropriations from the Territorial Legislature, Mrs. Lydia Fohn- Hansen, Home e Demonstra- ton Leader of the Extension Ser vice said today. Many people are surprised to know that Alaska maintains this service which is so extensive throughout the United States
 An important part of the work in Alaska is the Service to home makers with Extension Clubs or ganized in many of the larger towns. These clubs carry on month ly programs on subjects of interest to homemakers and have been ac- tive in directing community pro-
 iects," she explained.
 The three agents engaged in the
 work give most of their time to Extension Schools and Demonstra- tions except in the Matanuska Val ley where the nine clubs and cen- tral office permit the agent, Miss
 Mae Stephenson, to carry on & leader training program similar to that in the States Miss Stephen sons report shows that the work in the Valley compares favorably with that in the farming communities in the States, according to Mrs.
 Fohn- Hansen.
 Tn other communities in Alaska, visits of the Extension worker are limited to one or two a year when homemakers and club members are given an opportunity to attend les sons and demonstrations on prac- tical subjects. Since the war the greatest attention has been given to food problems: gardening, nu- triton, emergency supplies, food
 prepartion, and preservation and
 ways of conserving supplies such
 as remodeling and renovation of clothing and care of equipment" ]" she said.
 Bulletins Available
 During the year many bulletins were made available to Alaskans The following may be obtained by writing to the Extension Service, College, Alaska: How. to Grow a Garden in Alaska" Vitamins are Vital for Victory" How to Cook

 The war has made it more dif- 'icult to carry on organized club
 york but has increased the de- nand for help that the service m offer indicating increased par cipation. Some of the clubs have adapted their programs to war work. Many of the clubs have car- ricd on programs, combining war

riage. domestic problems arising from wartime, and the struggles and tortures of sensitive conscienc- es haunted by the horrors of wars' This is the conclusion of the Rev. Edwin O. Kennedy, of Madison, Wis, based upon experiences as a camp pastor at Columbus, Ga. TO see a group of soldiers singing by heart the great hymns of the church." Dr. Kennedy adds, and to probe with them deeply into the mysteries of life and death is to discover that. far more than we sometimes imagine, the Christ ian church has made it's impress sions on the lives of our young men, and that army life away from home has only deepened their ap- preciation of what their religion and their church can mean"
 ! Said the former High Commis- sioner to the Philippines, Francis B. Sayre, in a recent address to churchmen Christianity is. not merely a beautiful dread of the past. Either it is an active, living force shaping and qualifying our national and our daily life-or 1t goes by default If it is to play a vital part in Americas future life or in the shaping of the postwar peace, it must prove itself dy- mamie force now. when America is going through the fire. And if it is to be made dominant and mean ingful in America, by whom will this be wrought? God depends up- on human ministers for the doing of his work. We are those minis ters."
 Bishop John M Springer, whose gra n d f a her is said to have preached the first evangelical ser mon in Chicago, has recently com pleted forty years of missionary service in Central Africa. The con ference of the Methodist Church in the Belgian Congo. Southern Rho- desia. Mozambique, Angola, and Liberia are under his direction. Thirty years ago he and Mrs Springer trekked on foot from the Indian Ocean across the contin- ent to the South Atlantic--a trip they can now make by auto over good roads. It was on this trip that they "spied out possibilities of Christian work in the Belgian Congo. Today there are hundreds of churches and schools and tnou- sands of Christian tribesmen in this area. Some of the groups were can nibals in those early days, but their children and grandchildren are in the Christian churches.
