Union Bridge. Maryland, are ITS
heads of cattle which the Church
Of the Brethren is presenting to
UNRRA for the people Of Czecho-
slovakia. The animals are bred
heifers, mostly Gurnseys and Hol-
stems, and are intended to rehabi-
litate the war-devastated herds of
Czechoslovakia. They are the per.
sonal contributions of Church of
the Brethren farmers and congre-
cations, particularly from Illinois,
Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland,
Michigan, Pennsylvania and Vir-
ginia. Some city churches purchas-
ed calves a year or more ago and
paid nearby farmers to raise them
for this project. II cannot but re-
call that there were cattle in the
stable the night Jesus was born;
the spirit Of that Christmas lives
on in the hearts Of those who gave
these animals for the children of
my country" said DR.. Vaclav N.Y.
slivec, in accepting the cattle on
behalf Of the Czechoslovakian gov
eminent.
.'The Methodist Churchman-
ship Award, given each year to
a prominent Methodist minister or
laynen by lions Herald, New
England Methodist weekly, was
granted for 1945 to DR.. John Wear
Burton, president-general of. the
Methodist Church of Australasia,
and for almost half a century a
leader Of mission service in the
islands off Australia and New Zea-
land. A native Of England, and for
merly a missionary in the South
Pacific, DR.. Burton has done more
than perhaps any other man to
spread the gospel message among
the fuzzy wuzzies" who time and
again came to the rescue of
American and British wounded SOL
diers during the fighting that led
to the conquest of Japan.

Speaking in favor Of full en-
ployment' legislation as sound
ethical ideals, common sense, Jus
tice and fundamental to the pre-
servation of the Republic, Bishop
G. Bromley Oxman, of New York,
said recently: IAN economic order
that cannot provide opportunity for
all to work cannot endure. Failure
to use the full productive power of
the nation is to sabotage the fu-
ture. It is real labor applied to
