Packages are sent about once a

month, we send money to CARE and
they send packages to our families
The twelfth grade has adopted q
9-year -old orphan in Czechoslovakia
We write to her, send money for
her board, send her gifts and collec-
tions of clothing. From her photo
graph we know she has blond hair
a piquant face and blue eyes. She
may look funny in our too-large
dresses, but we know she is warm
and likes the toys.
The School Affliation Service
under the American Friends Service
Committee gave us the name of a
school in France and many of us
write to the students there. We ex-
change photographs, describe our
ways of living and we send gift pack
ages to our new friends. The STU
dents in the middle and lower
schools have made friends with boys
and girls in an Italian school in
the same way.
For the last two weeks the whole
school worked on a bazaar, given
yesterday for the benefit of the
Friends Service Committee. "One
World" was the theme we chose
To carry out this idea and give
glimpses of the life of other parts
of the world, we showed foreign
movies, gave a fashion parade of
costumes lent by foreign students,
and exhibitions of foreign art and
pottery. We even had examples of
foreign cookery on sale at our coun-
terS. The dinner which topped off
the bazaar with the typically Ameri-
can menu of turkey and pumpkin pie
"One World" the theme of the
bazaar, is actually the theme of all
our aid projects. We have fun in
our social service work, but more
than that, we believe we are making
friends with people of other coun-
tries. We believe we are helping
them in our small way to repair the
material and spiritual damage left
by the war. In this way, we hope
we can make the ties between peo-
pile stronger and help bring about
the reality of "One World"

They also would like their
daughter, Edwina, to go to
school here.
However, on account of the
unfavorable exchange rate,
they do not know whether they
will be able to raise the needed
funds for their passage.
In her letter, Josephine made
inquiry about Mildred Teeple
and her sister Edith. She also
inquired regarding Gretchen
HUH.
Closing her letter, she wish
ed to be remembered to Mrs.

port difficulties might be over

Bonchemher and Tree of Humanity

The tale of Bonchevalier and the
tree of humanity, told with minor
variations throughout France and
Germany, is one of the most charm
ing of all the Christmas tree leg
ends.
Bonchevalier was travelin G
through a dense forest once upon a
Christmas Eve. In the distance one
tall evergreen stood apart from all
the others; it seemed aglow with
lights and, from afar, a star ap-
peared to rest among its topmost
branches.
AS he drew nearer Boncheva-
lier saw that the tree was covered
with candles some standing up
right and others inverted. The star
at the top seemed to be the vision
of a child whose beautiful head
was surrounded by a pale amber
halo.
Word spread through the village
that Bonchevalier had seen a vision,
Laurel outlook., 1947-02-19

dreamed a dream, or perhaps ex.
perienced a phenomenon. The knight
himself admitted that the whole
thing seemed incredible; if it was
a vision, he could not interpret it;
but he was absolutely certain he
had seen it and his story was al
ways the same.
Learned citizens of the COM
munity questioned him and shook
their heads-so did everyone else,
except his mother.
The tree of humanity had been
revealed to her son, she said proud
ly, and all the world would be
blessed by his vision.
Indeed, Bonchevalier's vision
symbolized the tree of humanity;
the candles represented persons,
the good mes standing upright; the
bad ones inverted; and the child at
the top was the Infant Jesus who
watches over all the world of hui
mainly.

MILAN, ITALY. - The body OF
Benito Mussolini, stolen April %

ter's field here by self-styled "Dem-
ocratic Fascists," has been found
in a trunk at a Pavia monastery.
The police said two monks had
been taken into custody in the in
v~estigation in addition to three lay
men already held. The body was be-
ing guarded at a local police station
pending the receipt of further in
StructionS from Rome.
The Milan newspaper Corriere
Della Sera said the civil police chief
had received instructions from the
national capital to bury the body
"in sacred ground and in a place
unknown to the public" However,
this report was not confirmed by
official sources here.
The body was found in the Car
thusian monastery of Certosa at
Pavia, where, police said, it had
been taken from the Monastery of
st. Angelo, its, first hiding place after
being eXhumed at the potter'S field.
