DR.. Daniel Polling, editor Of the
Christian Union and president of
the Worlds Christian Endeavor
Union will be the opening speaker
on October Is. His subject, THE
Spiritual Aspects of the War" is
one he is well qualified to speak on.
He was a Chaplain in the first
World War and has made numer-
Gus trips to the various battlefronts
since 1941. He is familiar with the
personal loss that many of us have
felt during this war, since his son,
was one of the four chaplainS who
gave up their life jackets so that
four soldiers might live when their
ship was sinking in the Atlantic.
He brings a message which he has
learned from the soldiers in fox
holes. He has an article in the May
Readers Digest.
On November 20 Henry Hedges,
recently Senior Civil Engineer with
the First Construction Battalion
of the Sea Bees will present natural
color movies Of the Island of Bora
Bora in the Southwest Pacific. Mr..
Hedges was on the island with his
wife before the American sailors
arrived. They were the only white
people there. He relates in a most
fascinating manner, the character
istics of the natives before the
Americans came and their reactions
to the sailors. With unbelievably
beautiful pictures Mr.. Hedges
brings his audience a robust sense
of humor and a gift of description.
Probably the most widely known
of the five speakers is Drew Pear
son who will give a sample of
Washington Merry Go-Round on
January II. Because Of his syndi-
Gated newspaper column, which ap-
pears in the Detroit Free Press and
his Sunday evening newscaSt and
predictions on the Blue Network
everyone has at least heard of him.
His candid stories of political news
are fearless and unbiased and pre-
sented straight from the shoulder
He has varied background of ex-
periences having been a teacher.
