Crawford, head of the club’s Muster committee. One was to accept an invitation for local former students, their families and invited guests to attend the Muster program which present students are going to hold in Guion Hall beginning at 8:00 p. m., April 21; and the second was for the Brazos County club to hold a separate Muster as in the past. After con siderable discussion it was voted to have the basket supper on some part of the campus beginning at 6:00 p. m., then for the assembly to go in a body to Guion Hall and take seats reserved in the back of the auditorium and in the balcony. Honored guests of both the basket-supper event and of the current student program will be members of the A. & M. class of 1895 who will be holding a class reunion on the campus at that time. P. L. Downs, Jr., club good Samaritan, reported his committee through the cooperation of the Student Activities Office of the College was sending sets of the Longhorn, the College annual, to the libraries of all five hospitals maintained by the government in Texas for the rehabilitation of re turned war veterans. Vice president McNew said for mer Texas Aggies were numerous in the CBI theatre the same as they were on all fighting fronts. He read a list of “brass hats” (generals) he personally had run across in that section, and said he knew of at least 75 to 80 of ficers in these countries who had recieved their higher education at the Texas A. & M.

Consolidated school gymnasium featuring an art exhibit of old and new masters such as Rembrandt, Van G'ogh, Ti tian, Velasquez, Renoir, Pissario, Waters, Hencke, Lumbush, Hig gins, Marc and Wickham. In the exhibit you will find prints of va rious types—portraits, still life, landscapes, water scenes and re ligious pictures. Such a collection today is rare and the picture committee of A. & M. Consolidated Mothers and Dads Club, composed of Mesdames W. T. Carter, J. G. Gay, Miss Marie Haines, Mrs. Raymond Rogers and Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Fleming, was fortunate and far sighted in ar ranging for it last fall. The purchase of master prints for the various rooms in the school was the project of the Picture Committee for this year. This project was begun last fall with the decision to award a print to the room who had the most par ents present at each Mothers and Dads Club meeting. Thirteen pic tures will thus be given. Mrs. Ray mond Rogers is general chairman for the tea and announces that the committee has decided to give a picture to the boy and to the girl selling the most tickets. Tickets are on sale at Waldrop’s and Can ady’s in Bryan and from College merchants and school children.

When he returned home in 1920, the wounds, gas and strenuous mil itary life took their toll, and he was pigeon-holed as a disabled vet eran and shuttled between hospit als. But he was tougher than they thought and was back on his feet within 28 months. Lodge had always had a desire to be a newsman. He had written army life for the El Paso (Texas) Herald while with the border mo bilization and he decided to try for a news job. He joined the Law rence (Mass.) Eagle-Tribune as re porter and worked for other New England papers, including those at New London, Conn., and Lowell, Mass., handling sports and other news. Lodge was given his first regu lar newspaper job by Edward J. Neill, father of the AP sports writer-war correspondent, Edward J. Neil, Jr., who was killed while covering the Civil war in Spain. Lodge and Neil had grown up to gether in Lodge’s home town of Methuen, Mass. Lodge worked for the AP in Boston and Pittsburgh and was moved to the New York AP office in 1928. He doubled in sports and straight news and covered many major sports events in the East. When World War II flamed in Europe, Lodge was one of the first to seek assignment abroad. He left New York in March of 1940 head ed for Finland to cover the Fin- nish-Russian war and was at Pot- samo for the peace when the Ger man invasion of Denmark and Nor way began. He immediately set out for Norway. ’ There is plenty of land on farms for growing timber as a crop after all the better lands are used for other farm crops and for pastures.

The author is not a Jew. The com placency of the non-Jewish world toward the tragic problem that the Jews face is the thesis which in spires Mr. Van Paasen’s pen as well as his wrath. While the writ ing is good, Mr. Van Paasen’s fire sometimes clouds his meaning. The Forgdtten Ally will enlist whole hearted support from some; others will disagree with a passion equal to Mr. Van Paasen’s. Harry Emerson Fosdick is one of the most popular religious writers as well as one of the most popular religious speakers of to day. One of his best books is A Guide to Understanding the Bible. An aid to the study of biblical ideas, it follows the growth and change of the ideas of God, man, right and wrong, suffering, fellow ship, and immortality, through the various books of the Old and New Testaments. Mr. Fosdick is an able guide, and his book, which is de signed to be used in the chrono logical order, is a practical contri bution of serious study. The World of Sholom Aleichem by Maurice Samuel will be worth while reading for anyone who has an interest in racial traits, relig ious customs, or problems of anti- Semitism. It is set in Russia dur ing the last part of the 19th cen tury and it is based on the fiction al and autobiographical writings of the author—a great humorist. Sholom Aleichem and the author are so completely fused that it is impossible to distinguish one from the other in the story. The World of Sholom Aliechem is interesting and informative and very well written. Christianity and Power Politics, by Reinhold Niebuhur has wider intrests than the books which treat only pure religion. Compounded of essays on various subjects, “its thesis is that modern Christan and secular perfectionism, which places a premium upon non-participation in conflict, is a very sentimental ized version of Christian faith and is a variance with the profoundest insights of the Christian religion.” Dr. Nieburhur thoroughly reasoned and clearly expressed essays are searching and illuminating. They contribute evidence that Christ ianity must live and propogate in democracy’s conflict with power politics. —BUY WAR BONDS TODAY— Turner To Instruct Consolidated Pupils In Singing Lessons Singing instruction at A. & M. Consolidated High School from 5th through 8th grade will be handled by W. M. Turner, director of the Singing Cadets, Dr. Luther G. Jones announced. Turner will coach school students from 9:00 to 10:00 a. m. in the assembly type of singing in which each takes part and the assembly type of song books will be used. Director Turner has had consider able experience with singing groups in the past and has proven himself well qualified for handling in struction of this kind, Dr. Jones said. There is considerable interest in organizing a Choral Club at A. & M. Consolidated and there is hope that this type of program will continue to grow. Dr. Jones said the superintendent and school board have expressed their desire to support this valuable type of in struction. interested in the project are re quested to contact Mrs. T. R. Spence, General Chairman to the Volunteer Nurse’s Aide Corps. No more than a total of 150 hours a year of service will be expected from any volunteer nurse’s aide. A committee of College and Bry an Women will be at the Y. M. C. A. Lobby at College and at Mc Culloch Dansby Store in Bryan on Thursday and Friday afternoons between 2:00 and 5:30 p. m., to ex plain the requirements of the Nur se’s Aide Classes and register all those interested in it. Fuller de tails about the organization, the personnel of the committee, the meeting place for classes, will be announced in a latter issue of this paper. It is hoped that the women of the community will respond in a large number to this opportuni ty of serving our country in time of need. THE FAVORITE TIE OF OUR ARMED FORCES RITE OF CONFIRMATION FOR LUTHERANS SUNDAY Rev. Kurt Hartmann, pastor of American Lutheran Congregation, announces that four young people will be received into the confirm ed membership of the congrega tion by the Rite of Confirmation in the Sunday morning service, which begins at 11:00 o’clock, con ducted. in the Y.M.C.A. Chapel. These young people, Henry En- gelbrecht, Jr., Joyce Engelbrecht, Herbert Goessler, and Lucille Rich ter, have received some 150 hours of instruction, in addition to in struction received in Sunday School, in the fundamentals of the Christ ian Faith, as summed up in Luth er’s Small Catechism. They were baptized in infancy and now an swer for themselves the questions which the sponsors answered for them when they were baptized, pledging faithfulness, by the help of God, to their church, and above all to their great Lord and God, Jesus Christ. The public is cordially invited to attend our services Sunday, as well as at all times. , ORIGINAL A 4rOLD NO LIN TIES Student Nurse's Aide Corps To Be Formed By Local Red Cross Answering the call of the Nation to help relieve the acute shortage of graduate nurses, Bryan and Col lege Station Communities under the sponsorship of the National and local Red Cross have joined their efforts in launching the or ganization of a student volunteer Nurse’s Aide Corps.
