The Selective Service Board
has issued a warning to youth
Of ST. Croix who fail to regis

day. The letter states:
"Your attention is invited to
& serious Federal offense be-

some of the young men among
us, in their failure to register
with the Selective Service
System,
The law requires every male
citizen to register upon reach

male alien born subsequent to
September IA. 1925, who en-

totaling one year to register
upon entering or reaching Is

far there have been no court
cases and it is our desire that
none will be necessary. If the

B. C.. Business Grads Prefer
Small Towns, Survey Shows

towns of $500 population or less.
Because Bluffton is essentially
an agriculture community, and
many of those who support the
college are in farming or farm
ing communities, it was of spe-
cial interest to find how many
were now in farming or farm
related types of businesses.
Farming Becoming Business
Three of the majors and min
ors and two other students have
taken their business education in
to farming. Seven majors and
minors and one other student are
in farm-related types of business
es.
This underscores the fact that
agriculture is becoming more and
more recognized as a business.
Farming must be operated on eff
ficient economic principles as
well as having good production

The law of averages that
shaky, unreliable thing = favors
a White Christmas for the Bluff
ton vicinity. We haven't had one,
that is, one worth speaking of,
since 1850.
People who don't believe in the
law of averages put their faith
in the weather. This is the cold
est December recorded in this
area and snow has been on the
ground almost continuously since
the day after Thanksgiving.
The odds favor a White Christ
mas. Snow, or a trace of snow,
has fallen 26 times during the
past AZ years. Only q green
Christmases have been marked
up.
The last heavy snowfall came
on Christmas 1850, when six inch
es fell. Another Christmas snow
fall came in 1856, when an inch
fell, but the snow did not begin
until nearly midnight, when San
ia Claus had all but completed
his activities.
Last years Christmas was
marked by an icy rain.
Every sort of Christmas wealth
er has been observed here, with
an icy cold quite likely to be
followed by spring-like weather
the very next year.
Some really furious snowfalls
have been recorded on Christmas
day, but the grandaddy of them
all came in granddaddy's time,
1916. That year a roaring blizzard
brought a Pinch snowfall. Other
heavy Christmas snowfalls have
been: eight inches in 1885, seven

MennOnites
Form Nineteen
New Churches

Fifteen new churches by 1859 =
this was the goal adopted three
years ago by the General Con-
ference Mennonite church In the
first week of December at its
annual council of boards, New
ton, Kan, the Conference found
that it had not only reached its
goal but that nineteen new
church fellowships were being
formed.
Few of these new churches be-
gan in the same way. The Faith
Mennonite church, Newton, Kan,
came into existence when two
other Mennonite churches in
Newton realized they were over
crowded and encouraged the for
nation of a third church. Three
churches at Denver, Topeka and
Kansas City grew out of the need
to minister to 1-W men serving
in city hospitals. The Edmonton
Mission church in Alberta was
initiated to serve Mennonite uni
versity students.
One new congregation, the
Warden Mennonite church, was a
by-product of an irrigation prof.
ect near Warden, Washington,
when Mennonite farmers moved
into the region. The Vancouver
Mission church, British Columbia
was begun for English speaking
Mennonites, as services in the
nearest Mennonite church are
conducted in German. Other
churches have sometimes result
ed from surveys which showed a
number of Mennonites living in
a particular area and which in
dicated the need for a church
fellowship to serve them as well
as others.
General Conference Mennonite
churches in Ohio are Apostolic,
Trenton; Ebenezer, Bluffton;
First, Bluffton; First, Lima;
First, Sugarcreek; First, Wads-
worth; Grace, Pandora; Salem,
Dalton; st. John, Pandora.
