GREAT ISSUES TICKETS WILL BE HONORED REGULAR ADMISSION $1.00 Presented By THE GREAT ISSUES COMMITTEE OF THE MEMORIAL STUDENT CENTER The extraordinary part of the newcomers’ coming here is this family traveled all the way from Holland to a new home here. The man, his wife and four children have been provided a way to make their own way in the world, out of the crowded con ditions of Europe and away from the strife of their native country. Coming to this country, unlike many of our own forebearers, the van Luiks, came by a modern mode of transportation—the airplane. They left Holland Monday moming aboard a trans-Atlantic clipper of KLM, Royal Dutch Airlines, and arrived in College Station four days later. Quite a jump for a family of four. The van Luiks, composed of the father, Jake; his wife, Jane; their three sons, Jake Jr., 15, Abraham 12, and Alex 5, and small daughter, Connie, IVz, have moved into their home at 203A Fairview in South- side, College Station. Their trip to the United States and a chance for citizenship was arranged by the members of the local Presbyterian Church through the Church World Service. This organization serves all Protestant churches except the Lutheran. After the initial movement got underway last August the entire church got behind the work to help a deserving family come here, said Rev. Charles Workman, youth leader for A&M Presbyterian Church.

The newcomers sold all their be longings before coming over, ex cept essential personals since ex press charges were so prohibitive, Workman pointed out. Members of the church have contributed, sheets, china, and all the essentials for beginning a household from scratch Woi'kman says. After deciding to try and locate a family in this area the church group located a job sponsor, who would guarantee a means of liveli hood for the prospective immi grants. In this case Marion Pugh, of Pugh Lumber Co., filled the need. The church then sent a request to the CWS for a cabinetmaker but it was January of this year before a family was found. The original plan called for either a single persoil or just a man and wife. When a family was found, the van Luiks, it was found they had four children. A telegram was sent to the church asking if they would ac cept the family in question. They wired back they would, so the cross-continent trek of the van Luiks got into "the last stages. Conditions in Holland have been getting progresively tougher since the end of World War II when most of the available housing was destroyed. Jobs were at a premium and floods of 1953 destroyed more homes and industry. Then the independence of Indonesia sent more Hollanders back to the “old country” and a place to begin life anew. Officers of the Men of the Pres byterian Church which made this possible are W. L. Penberthy, president; W. L. (Red) Cashion, vice-president; Luther Jones, chair man of finding place for the family to live and work. mmm-i Take a 2-minute preview of | your path 1 to RCA I engineering Confession WICHITA, Kan.
