New forms of chaplaincy serv.
ice are being organized In thi,
country and elsewhere in response
to the growing demand for spirit
ual counseling.
| The newest form is the sport.

Iof Norway has just appointed an
oficial sports chaplain to the dio.
ceses Of Oslo and Tunsberg. He
is the Rev. Iron Tronsen, 30.
Iyear-old clergyman who is him.
self well known in Norwegian
|athleticS as an outstanding pole
vaulter and soccer player.
Probably First Of Kind.
Mr.. Tronsen is probably the first
Protestant chaplain Of his kind in
the world. His appointment came
as a result Of requests by Norwe-
gian sportSmen. A unique con-
ference Of clergymen and athletes
was held in Oslo to inaugurate the
new movement to infuse religion
into athletics.
The chapain to Norway's sports
men will begin his work by under
taking a tour of the country's
sports clubs in company with Bir-
ger Ruud, former Olympic ski
jump champion and one Of Nor
ways greatest athletes.
Another new chaplaincy field
one that is likely to assume in
creasing Importance as time goes
on-is that in new housing devel-
opments.
A few months ago a "block
chaplain" was appointed for q
new housing development in Co.
penhagen. Denmark, at the sug-
gestion Of the cooperative build
ing society which financed the
project.
In this country several similar
projects are under way.
Chaplains for Prisons.
Meanwhile, movement is gain
ing all over this country to have
chaplains appointed to institu-
tions of various kinds, including
prisons and state hospitals.
Church councils are laying in
creasing emphasis upon this type
of chaplaincy.
A new development along this
line was the appointment, a few
weeks ago, by the state of North
Carolina of a full-time chaplain
to attend to the spiritual needs
OF patients at the Butner Alco-
holic Center at Butner, N. C. The
chaplain is the Rev. Alban Richey.
formerly rector of st. Jude's Epis-
copal Church in Monroe City, Mo.
Summer resorts also may be
having their own chaplains from
now on. A Sandusky. O.. resort,
Cedar Point on Lake Erie. has an
ofhcial Roman Catholic chaplain,
appointed by Bishop George J..
Rehring Of the Toledo diocese.
The chaplain stays at the 1000
room hotel and is available for
calls from employees, guests or con-
cession patrons.

Nor is the political field immune
to the expanding chaplaincy pro.

Chaplain in Foxhole.
During the operation 1t. Wilbur
M. Schaeffer Of Roanoke, Va. be-
came the first chaplain to occupy
q foxhole with troops on an A.

parachute Jump with troops on
such q maneuver. He said after
the tests that atomic weapons
have brought q new importance
to the chaplaincy.
On the civilian defense front
ministers over the country are
making headway in developing an
chaplaincy service in
the event Of atomic attack.
AS part Of local civilian defense
setups clergymen are being trained
to handle chaplaincy functions ir
case Of disaster. Shifts of pastors
have been assigned to cover hos
pitals. specific neighborhoods and
emergency centers. They will be
ready to lend practical help and
to offer prayers and spiritual COM
fort to those in need of them.
Another special type of chap.
laincy is developing among civil
ian construction workers on re-
mote military bases.
One such base far north OF
the Arctic Circle has three chap
lains. q Lutheran, a Baptist and a
Roman Catholic. They took the
posts because the contractors feel
the men will be more contented
knowing there is someone to turn
to with personal problems and fo1
spiritual help.
