"There was silence and J heard a
voice. job AIS
When Wordsworth wrote the
world is too much with u.s. he had
no idea how very much more the
world would be with the people
who live one hundred years after
him. Radio, telephone. television,
sereeching brakes, roaring ar
planes are so much part of our
everyday lives that few of us know
what silence is. Yet doctors and
psvchiatrists warn us that the wear
and tear of noise and confusion are
serious offenders against the physi-
cal and mental health of people.
The nutufe of our religious faith
is likewise dependent on measure
of retreat from the noise and dis
traction of our lives. 1t has become
common to tell ourselves and 9th
ers that we can pray as we go
about our work and, busy as we all
are. we try to snatch a moment OF
meditation as we ride on the street
car. do the family mending or sit
at our desks. God be praised for all
these moments of prayer. How
meaper our lives would be without
them! How futile many of our eff
forts if we did not pause to ask
Gods blessings on Them!
With no scorn for the precious
prayer minutes that intersperse our
hours, let us ask ourselves If they
are adequate. Certainly they are,
If we want to toss quick word OF
thanks to God or breathe hurried
request. for his blessing but If we
want to be Gods servants and mes
sengers do we not need place and
a time when we can wait patiently
before him in silence? 1t is not
easy to wait for Gods voice in our
hearts but practice will make it
natural Many of us would be sur
prised at Gods direction to us II
we ever gave him time to tell us.
Most of our lack OF consecrated
Christian action is due to ignorance
of Gods will for us rather than
wilfull disobedience.
Let us go forth with a new re-
solve to spend time with God, shut
ting out all distractions and listen
ing for him to direct our spirits
To the degree that we do this, we
shall find our personal lives spiri-
tually revived and our corporate
lives will have new strength and
vision.

$50 and lasted till 9. The house had
Is rooms which had to be cleaned
by every morning.
Since they wash clothes once a
month the beds are well aired every
day. The feather tick" cover and
sheets are hung over the window sill
for about two hours. To make the
mattresses easier to turn and air,
they are made in three sections.
Washing was one job really got
in on. First we washed for three
days and then we ironed for a week.
Everything is ironed and folded a
certain way, which was difficult for
me to remember at first, but each
piece really fit into its place in the
linen closet.
Each day we cooked for IS people
and at the same time canned fruit,
made jam and pickles. They used
the large 2-quart jars, as this is more
practical for the large household.
Breakfast for us was at and con-
sisted of barley coffee and bread.
The noon meal at IL was soup, pota-
toes, meat or sausage, a green salad
of some kind. At four we again had
coffee and bread, and the, evening
meal at 7:30 was usually soup,
noodles, pancakes or potato cakes.
The men always drank apple
s'most," which is like our cider, at
noon and German (grees) tea in the
evening. We usually drank fruit juice
thinned with water and sweetened.
The brown bread is really good al
though compared to our white bread
it is very filling.
You might have wondered when
said barley coffee coffee here is
from 1920 marks a pound, which
would be between 81 and SIS. We had
coffee only on very special occasions.
/ Make a Pie
I'll have to tell you about the pie
l made. First, the German flour is
much heavier than ours, so I had to
use more than half shortening, which
was beef tallow, but I figured out a
proportion and got the pie all made.
A German "kuchen" is always taken
out of the pan and turned upside
down. I baked the pie, set it to cool
and the next time came to look at it
here my apple pie was turned upside
down to cool explained what we
do with a pie and restored it to a
pan. I'm afraid any of your good
cooks would never have recognized it
as an apple pie, but it really tasted
fairly good, and we all were happy
eating an American pie

But most important of all is that
they are very nice, friendly people

cattle and so pigs. The cattle ara
"Niederrung" and "Hohenfleck"-
they are each day in the pasture A or
hours The German people are
gradually having their milk cattle
tested for T. B. but since it is very
expensive it is a slow process and
will take years. Half of the cattle
here are tested and all the equip
ment used and clothes worn in each
barn are kept separate. They have
two milking machines and very
efficient, sanitary milk room.
The pigs are of two breeds-the
Swabich black and white and Ger
man Inbred which is white. They
want the pigs to be very deep and
wide with short legs. Since pork is
the most expensive meat, little is
eaten on the average hof. Many
farmers rely on the sale of pigs for
much of their income.
Since this farm had four tractors
and quite a lot of machinery, few
women worked in the field. This
meant that spent most Of my time
in the house, which is story in
itself. Because the Eckhardts have
no children they have both agricul-
ture and home economics appren-
tees, which is the practical learning
in the German education system.
This is also reason why the Eek
hardts must be always up to date
with the methods being taught in the
schools.

"WHAT YOU ARE ....."

Americas greatest basic theological conflict today is between two sharply divided groups those who believe in and support Americanism against those who believe in and support Stalnsm Not all Stalin- ists are Communists but all Stalnists are un-Ameri- can.
 Sometimes it is difficult to draw the line of demarcation. It is difficult-and often unJust-to say of a man. Here is Communist" or Here is Stalinist" Those who should rightfully bear those labels are usually quite reticent admit their ideo- logical attachments so becomes necessary to identify them by their actions and their associates.
 Four basic types of Stalinists have been defined and described and we list them that you may know these people for what they are.
 | Communists These members of the Com munist Party whether open hidden. Customary Red strategy in a nation not yet taken over by their totalitarian system is to have "above-ground" only 10 per cent of the Communist Party membership. These Communists openly their Party member ship.
 Some important Communists in key positions are allowed to have special secret memberships lhese usually meet secretly in what known as closed dells" Many secret Commies avoid Haunting their Stanism.
 Many important Communists in public fife nre permitted to function without formal party mem bership of any kind for their own protection rom investigations by police and other governmental

Red Cross Man Gives Report on Kansas (iiy flood Relief

Tom Carpenter, Red Cross field representative from the San Fran cisco office. spoke at regular Xii wanis luncheon last Wednesday. He said that 10 cents of every Red Cross dollar went to the Kan sas City flood disaster this year. More than eleven and a half mil lion dollars were spent.
 Anticipating the flood Red Cross workers had moved in and set up Is shelters in schools housing 12,- 900, and fed them during the peak of the disaster. The Red Cross then followed up with a rehabil- itation program, Carpenter ex- plained. He estimated that 80 per cent of the flood victims were given some aid by the Red Crss.
 Dr. Henry Harris reported that s726 had been collected for the Alaska Tubeirulosis Association by the membership.

Alaskans Eligible
 For Unified Nations Exchange Program

Announcement was made here through Gov. Ernest Gruening's office that a United Nations tech- nical assistance program of ex- change fellowships and scholar ships has been made available to qualified persons in Alaska. Suitably qualified candidates for the 1852 grants may find further information and application forms at either the University of Alaska or the Territorial Department of Education in Juneau.
 Interested persons should apply immediately, according to Burke Riley, executive secretary to the governor. Riley said the informa- tion was just made available by the United Nations, but that clo- sing date for applications is De- cemher 19
 In general the scholarships and fellowships are in social welfare, economic development, and public administration. There are 101 sep arate categories for study under the three broad groups. Facilities for training and study for United Nations fellows and scholars have been made available by the gov- ernments of some 27 countries.
 Fellowships are normally for a period of three to six months dur ation and scholarships for one to two years in duration.
 In general the qualifications of candidates for fellowships include at least five years relevant pro- fessional or technical experience. For scholarships at least two years of relevant experience is required and appropriate academic exper- fence.
 There is no limit to the number of persons who may be nomina- ted. The final selections will be made by United Nations com mittee from the list of nomina- tions submitted.
 The general purpose is to enable promising graduate students, ju- nior civil service employees and qualified senior government per- sonnel to go to other countries for the purpose of making obser- vations, receiving higher training or undertaking advanced study to advance economic or social devel- opment, or public administration of the home country of the schol- ar or fellow.

descendants of more recent Pill grims, participated in a new cru- sade for freedom to raise money to operate Radio Free Europe and to send freedom balloons across the Iron Curtain bearing messages of hope and friendship to the cap- tive people on the other side.
 The leaders of this New Eng land crusade for freedom do not all bear names similar to those of the Pilgrim fathers. Their names range from John Delmonte, the Labor Commissioner, to Rubin Gryzmish, the cigar manufact- urer; from George Swartz to Paul Clark of the John Hancock Life Insurance Company; from Mayor John Hynes to Salvador Camelio of the CIO; from Thomas Pappas and John Shea to Harold Hodg- kinson of Filene's Department Store.
 Yet they are all pioneers in a new realization that no matter how much money we spend on arms, we cannot prevent war until we win friends behind the Iron Curtain. We can go on paying higher and higher taxes; we can go on sending more and more money to Europe, but the, Euro pean cancer will continue just as dangerous until the heart is cut out. And that heart is the bar rier between the free peoples of the West and the captive peoples of the East. Until the Iron Cur tain is broken down by Radio Free Europe, by freedom balloon messages, by the Voice of. Amer ica, and by encouraging people .to-people friendship there will continue to be danger of war .
 But this time may be approach ing when more and more Pilgrims from behind the Iron Curtain will try to break away from Soviet darkness, as did the Pilgrim fath- CTS from English darkness 300 years ago. Such a Pilgrimage, if it develops major proportions, will be something to be truly thankful for.

been reared on the Communist doctrine, just as the Pilgrim fathers were reared on the doc Urine handed down by the crown and the church hierarchy. it's apparent that the Russian people also have a yearning to know more about the outside world, to establish their own standards of freedom
 This is especially true in the satellite countries which were forced, against their will, to come under the Iron Curtain.
 All signs indicate that is equal ly true of the people inside Rus sia though their struggle is more difficult
 It should never be forgotten that of the heterogeneous nation- ality groups welded together un- der the union of Socialist Soviet Republics, 55 per cent are non- Russian They are Ukrainians, Mongols, Turkomen, Kirghiz, Ar menians and white Russians, most of them hungry for their own na- tionalistic identity. They are like the far-flung Austro- Hungarian empire whose different ethnic groups fell to pieces in 1918.
 Destroying Spectre
 This surge for freedom inside the polyglot Russian empire has taken several forms. There have been revolts among the peasants.
 There are reported to be about I5,Q00,000 political. prisonerB in concentration camps. Unwilling ness on the part of University of Moscow students to go along with the Soviet program has even been reported in the Moscow press.
 Finally, refugees from behind the Iron Curtain are coming out in steady streams of about 1000 a month, not unlike the exodus of the Pilgrim fathers seeking new life in a new world. And if they could be guided to new areas in Africa and South America under the point program, they too might become pioneers for polit- ical and religious freedom and serve as a magnet to attract others and thus break down the Iron Curtain.
 In fact some observers in West Germany last summer told me that most of the Red army in East Germany would desert their Moscow masters if given chance to resettle on farms in Africa and South America. Once you cut the ground out from under the oc- cupying army in East Germany. you of course destroy the thing western Europe fears most-the dread spectre of 30 Red divisions crossing the Rhrine and moving on the English Channel.
