Four Candidates
Selected for
ATS Americans
Abroad Program

The local chapter of the Am
erican Field Service has sub
mitted the names of four con-
didates from the John Bassett
Moore High School for consid-
Grafton in the Americans Abroad
Program. They are: Cynthia
Cary, Thomas Henrickson, Hope
Hutchison, and Thomas Run
dell, all members of the junior
class. In the event of being a
finalist they would live as a son
or daughter with a family in
a foreign country for two
months under the Summer Pro-
gram. If chosen under the
school program, they would
study abroad for term and
return to be graduated with
their class. In either case they
would be back in school to give
their friends and the commun-
ity the benefit of their trip. Mrs.
Francis B. Gebhart, Mrs. Lawr-
ence c. Ellery, and Charles v.
Williams served on the Selec-
ton committee. They have
spent many hours with the can
didates, their parents, teachers
comments, and school records,
in order to get a true picture
of the students. The committee,
parents, and students alike have
done their work with a full un-
derstanding that final selection
will be made in New York, no
earlier than February, 1862.
Even after approval by the New
York office, there is the prob
lem of finding a suitable home
abroad. Selection is made on a
national basis. Last year ll50
students were chosen from
about 5000 candidates. ATS
does not guarantee the accept
ance of any student. The local
committee is happy to recon-
mend these students, and hopes
that they will have the oppor-
tunity to serve the American
Field Service, abroad, in the
months to come.

"MentaI Disarmament

"MentaI Disarmament
received an unpleasant shock
one week ago when a small group
of young college students from
Maryland visited my office to dis
cuss disarmament. Their conversa-
ton conferred around the Geneva
conference at which, the students
claimed. the Soviet Union had
demonstrated it was ready TO pro-
coed with full disarmament while
the United States was dragging
its feet by insisting upon unneces-
sarily strict safeguards We can
not totally blame students. Of
course, for such potentially fatal
naivete, because they have been
conditioned to believe the Soviets

portion of American youth have
become so mentally disarmed" as
to grasp at disarmament on Soviet
terms as our only salvation.
They have been frightened into
concluding there are only two
alternatives in the Cold Wards
armament or nuclear destruction.
But Russian leaders do not con-
slder disarment or nuclear de.
struction as the only alternatives,
or they would negotiate at Geneva
in good faith The Soviet leaders
believe in the alternative of main
tanning a para-military, economic
and diplomatic offensive against
us to achieve a bloodless victory
Therefore. while continuing our
long and patient efforts to achieve
an effective disarmament agree
ment, we can and must exploit this
third alternative to bring such
pressure to bear upon the Soviets
that they will be placed on the
defensive. BY so doing. we will be

THE KITCHEN PRAYER
Lord of all the pots and pans
and things.
Since I've not time to be,
A saint by doing lovely things
Or watching late with "Thee"
Or dreaming in the dawn light
Or storming Heavens gates,
Make me saint by getting meals
And washing up the plates.
Although | must have Martha's
hands,
have Mary's mind.
And when l black the boots and
shoes
Thy sandals Lord, I find,
| think of how they trod the
earth,
Each time / scrub the floor,
haven't time for more.
Warm all the kitchen with Thy
love
And light ii with Thy peace.
Forgive me all my worry
And make my grumbling cease.
Thou who did'st love to give men
food.
In room or by the sea,
Accent this service that / do
/ do it unto Thee.

titles" she says.
Girls who pose for leg and feet
shots. she explains, must not only
have good legs, feet, toes and be-
autiful arms and hands. but il
they must show their hands cream
ing their feet. they must also be
contortionists.
Hands and feet are difficult sh-

Foreign Gals Are Good
Foreign girls have broken into
the American model market in re-
cent years, and Miss Martel be-
lieves they have certain advan-
tages over American girls. She ex-
plains:
Beautiful American models are
likely to have come from average
homes where there was no OPP
portunity to wear elegant clothes.
Perhaps they even worked as sec
retaries. Foreign-born models are
likely to have worked for good
high-fashion houses abroad and
learned how to choose and wear
clothes and other tricks of the
