Asks SPO: Of Education

The Rev. Campbell Cites Leadership Ratio.

“If what we want in America is a democracy plus the Christian way of life, we will do well to support higher education, since 80 per cent of the country’s leaders come from colleges and universities,” the Rev. Harry E. Campbell said today. The Rev. Mr. Campbell is chair-

man of a local Presbyterian committee arranging for the celebration of Sesquicentennial Sunday which tomorrow will mark 150 years of Christian education in the U. S. Offerings in Presbyterian churches throughout the country will be used for. a $10,000,000 higher education fund. -- Special sermons will be preached and programs presented in many of the 39 churches of the Indianapolis Presbytery of which, the Rev. Mr. Campbell is moderator. He is also assistant pastor of the First Pres-

elayed Return

Full Fall Program to Be

Launched by New Staff.

Sun-tanned and hearty, and showing a considerable increase in weight, Dr. Roy Ewing Vale is back in his office today in the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church after his vacation and delayed return to work. While Dr. Vale's mind is very much on the church’s new fall program and on his sermon, “The Great Meetings of Life,” which he will preach tomorrow morning, -he recalls with much evident pleasure recent hours in the open, and his “best golf in years.” Pressed to reveal his score, Dr. Vale said he shot “sometimes below and some-~ times above 90.” Life is made up of the meetings of human beings with other human beings, Dr. Vale said. Some of these meetings are so far-reaching in their results that they may become of life-long or even eternal import.

Cites Paul's Conversion

As an illustration of the significance of such contacts or meetings, he cited the time that Paul encountered Jesus on the Damascus Road. That meeting changed Paul's destiny, he said, and caused him to take Christianity into Europe thus also changing the destiny of the entire Western world. What if Paul had not sought out his meetings with Europeans and had instead penetrated India and China with his preachings, think how world history might have been affected, Dr. Vale pointed out. The entire program of the Tabernacle Church, whether it is the work of the devoted women who roast peanuts and fry doughnuts which they sell every Monday to earn money against the church debt or that of boys in a handicraft class, is for the same purpose. The purpose, Dr. Vale said, is to lead people of every age to pattern their lives after that of Jesus and to develop the finest ideals of human comradeship. ? Launch New Program Tabernacle, with its membership of 2860, is said to be the largest Indianapolis Protestant Church. This fall it has a new staff of workers, all employed within the

byterian Church. The higher education fund will be: used to improve 53 Presbyterian col-| leges, 52 Westminster Foundations, and 11 theological seminaries. About! $8.333,207 had been raised and it is, expected that tomorrow's gifts and later ones will swell the total to the] requested $10,000,000 by the first of| the year. ! Hanover and Wabash Colleges,| both in Indiana, belong to the Presbyterian Church inthe U. S. A.|

last few months, launching with Dr. Vale's help a fall program of educational and recreational activities. Composing the staff in addition to the pastor are the Rev. Stewart W. Hartfelter, assistant pastor; Leroy E. Allen, youth program assistant; MisseWanda Mae Brown, Christian education director; and Misses Ruth Hutchinson and Mildred Steiner, secretaries. Miss Emma Anderson, for more than 30 years a worker and parish assistant in the church, now retired, is to be honored with an appreciation service and reception Monday from 8 to 10 p. m. in the Tabernacle parlors. “By the way,” Dr. Vale added, “about those peanuts and doughnuts—if you ever taste them, I'll guarantee you'll come back for more.”

Separate Age Groups

If you are very small and have been to school it isn’t very pleasant to stand aside while older children whe seem to know ‘a great deal are the focus of interest. Dr. William A. Shullenberger and Miss Nellie C. Young realize this and that is why they made special arrangements for children of different age groups in planning the new fall program for the Central Christian Church. Dr. Shullenberger is church pastor and Miss Young Is | children’s minister and youth ad-| viser. While Dr. Shullenberger is conducting Sunday morning worship in the church, children are entertained and instructed in groups according to age. Thus the children need not go home after Sunday School but may remain while their parents are in church. The program of the Central Church embraces not only the membership of the church, but young

| people and children living in its

downtown neighborhood. There is a 5:30 p. m. tea on Sundays followed by discussion of timely subjects for youth; week-day afterncon clubs for boys and girls, and recreation the first Friday evening in the month when basketball, table tennis, badminton, volley ball and other games are played. This year young people who attended religious camps and conferences are personally assisting with strictly spiritual activities for other voung people in the church and community. A dramatic group will present four plays during the year; they will sing carols in various places Christmas; celebrate Youth Week in February, and hold specia! Easter sunrise and Palm Sunday services. ]

Fall School Is Arranged

'Internationalism' Is Theme

At Speedway.

~“Many Christians in the dictator countries are thinking and feeling just as Americans do,” the. Rev. Howard E. Anderson said today. “We must remember that Christianity is international, war or no war,” the Rev. Mr. Anderson added. Accordingly, he and his committee will hold schools in Christian living with the study theme, “Internationalism and Christianity,” in the Speedway Christian Church this fall and winter. Speakers will include Dr. Errol T. Elliott, First Friends Church pastor who recently returned from traveling over Europe. The Speedway church also will show talkies for young people on Sunday evenings, some merely ofwholesome entertainment while others illustrate temperance and international friendship. There are to ,be two Sunday morning services, one at 9:30 and the other at 11 a. m., to accommodate different groups. )

Migrants Is Subject

The migrants, those shifting millions of Americans about whose misfortunes so much.is said today, will be the basis of a national missions study to be made by all age groups in 1940 and 1941 in the Irvington ‘ Presbyterian Church. Dramatic groups schedule a long list of plays including one to be presented by the Mummers at midnight Christmas eve. The church outlines a series of evening programs to aid young married people in becoming better acquainted and making a pleasant social life for each other.

“Summer is’ coming, coming, {coming and with it the great event,”

lthe - five” little French nuns and

Mother Theodore Guerin reminded

each other during the long winter. But it was a bit like singing to keep up one's courage because the Sisters of Providence seldom had quite enough to eat, and they were often cold and miserable that winter of 1840 in the farmhouse attic. They had come to America with Mother Theodore to establish a school for girls but no building was ready when they arrived on Oct. 22, and they accepted shelter in the farmhouse. The winter passed, but not one morsel of their courage with it. On July 4, 1841, Mother Theodore opened St. Mary-of-the-Woods Institute in makeshift quarters, thus realizing in a measure a dream she had had in her native France. Five years later the dream really {materialized when she secured the first charter granted in Indiana for {a school for the higher education of women. Then the institute became St. Mary - of - the - Woods College erected on the present site. Tuesday is to be the climax of the 100th anniversary year of the Sisters of Providence Motherhouse

St. Mary-of-the-Woods Becomes 100 on Monday

and the Founding of St. Mary-of-the-Woods. Tomorrow and Monday will be alumnae homecoming days. The many automobiles which will convey guests and members of the hierarchy along the driveway under the flowering crabapple trees and the campus with its many modern buildings are a far cry from the simple stagecoach from which Mother Theodore and her companions alighted in 1840. Tuesday the Most Rev. Joseph E. Ritter, bishop of the Diocese of Indianapolis, will celebrate a 10 a. m. solemn pontifical high mass with the Most Rev. John T. McNicholas, archbishop of Cincinnati, on the throne. Among the long list of assisting clergy from all over the country will be the Rt. Rev. Raymond R. Noll V. G., vicar of SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral. Bishop Ritter also will .give the address of welcome at the noon centennial banquet. “Queen of Heaven,” a sacred cantata, written by Sister Eugeniz, college dean and set to music by Sister Cecilia Clare, also of the fac-

(ulty, and a pageant, “The White {Cross of Gladness,” written by Sister Theresa Aloyse and directed by Miss Mary Loughran, both college teachers, are to be presented.

HE new houses, little and big Cape Cod or colonial in design, which have been built or are under construction on the East Side are attracting many- new residents. . Young people of the Irvington Presbyterian Church are intrigued by their musical door chimes, by cozy fireplaces and all the new electrical gadgets. But they say they are more interested in the families that perform the magic of making these houses into homes. Tomorrow, observed as Family Day in Indianapolis churches and those throughout the nation, will be marked by the Irvington young people with a special meeting to plan a census of the new families who have come to live in the neighborhood.

BRITISH AND U.S. AGREEMENT ON INDIES 1S LIKELY

{It Probably Won't Come

Until After Election,

Simms Says.

By WILLIAM PHILIP SMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19 — Announcement of a “defensive understanding” in the western Pacific between the United States and the British Empire is‘ expected soon after the Presidential election. Information from the Dutch East Indies leads to the belief that unless the glish-speaking world acts decisively, Japan will do to that corner of the globe what Germany has done to Rumania, Hungary, Denmark and others of her neighbors. Japan, it is pointed out, might accomplish her purpose without “invasion.” By diplomatic pressure not unlike that used by Berlin in Buch-

.arest, she might succeed in making

the Dutch East Indies a sort of dependency, drawing from them oil and other needed supplies, and putting herself in a position to retaliate against the United States by cutting us off from rubber and tin.

Oil Fields Mined?

The Rumanian oil fields are said to have been mined so they could be blown up in case of invasion. Today the Nazis are in complete control ‘of Rumanian oil. Similarly, the East Indian wells are reported to be mined to prevent Japanese seizure. But, it is asked, what if Japan takes a leaf out of the notebook of her Nazi ally? - The Dutch East Indies, according to a Far Eastern authority here, are more than anxious to have the support of the United States. But, being uncertain whether the support will be, forthcoming, the Dutch “will comply with Japanese demands as far as necessary to avoid a head-on collision.”

helpless neighbors gave in because they lacked a powerful friend to defend them. Unless the Dutch East Indies are assured of actual and substantial support, they may go the way of Rumania. Already, Japan has squeeze-played the ‘Dutch into agreeing to provide her for the next six months with 40 per cent of her oil requirements, and that may be just a beginning.

What May Be Done

Accordingly there is talk throughout the English-speaking world concerning. what may be done to bolster up the Far Eastern situation An understanding among Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the rest of the Empire and the United States, therefore, would not be surprising’ Senator Key Pittman, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, said yesterday that it would not be necessary to send our soldiers and sailors to the Far East to defend our rights. It was his opinion that a complete export-and-import embargo against Japan would do the trick. Qualified experts here, however, do not altogether agree with the Nevadan. Such an embargo, they observe, unquestionably would deal Japan a terrific blow but history indicates she would not take it lying down. In 1904 she was looked upon as a second-rate nation, yet when Russia—then regarded as the greatest military power on earth—challenged her, she struck first and declared war afterward. An embargo

.{which threatened her national life

now would likely ‘precipitate a similar showdown.

Singapore Not Whole Answer

Before things go that far, the experts argue, it might not be amiss to take stock of what the United States might do in such a contingency. The British base at Singapore alone is not the answer. With Japanese airmen operating from Thailand (Siam), Singapore might be made as untenable for warships as the Italians have made Malta. Other suitable bases in British and Netherlands East Indies and Australia would be necessary, not eventually but at the very outset of possible hostilities. If President Roosevelt is re-elected, the announcement of a defensive understanding covering the Pacific, similar to that which now includes Canada and the Atlantic, would hot, it is believed, be long delayed. In fact, it is regarded as vital if the Administration intends—as it certainly does, according to every indication—to pursue its policy of non-compromise with Japan's avowed intention to dominate China and greater eastern Asia.

LEGION PLANS 13TH ARMISTICE DANCE

The 13th annual Armistice Day dance and celebration sponsored by the 12th District American Legion and the Drum and Bugle Corps will be held Nov. 11 at the Knights of Columbus clubhouse at 13th and Delaware Sts.

Want to Go ‘Home’

Mr. and Mrs. Earl Schenck .. . back to the South Seas for them,

out of this traffic.

SCHENCKS SET JUNE DEADLINE

New Author Amazed That Traffic Toll Isn’t Any Higher.

By JOE COLLIER This is how it happened!

A very considerable number of years ago, when he was 17, Earl Schenck was walking on tne banks of a river near his native Columbus, 0O., and some boys brought him a couple of human bones.

They were finger bones, and Mr. Schenck, then 17 and interested in anthropology, realized they were extraordinarily long. The boys had found - them while digging. Mr. Schenck proceeded to discover one of the oldest Indian mounds ever found in the state. The bones were placed in a Columbus Museum.

Reconstructs Cave

Less than a year ago, Mr. Schenck, using the bones as a guide, reconstructed in miniature an entire cave in which these Indians would have lived, complete with miniature Indians. But that’s not the story. The story is what happened to Mr. Schenck between the. time he discovered the bones and the time he constructed the miniature. In the order named, he graduated from Qhio State University, with an amazing yearning to study primitive man at first hand. Instead, he joined a stock company in a Columbus theater and eventually found himself on Broadway. From there he went to the movies and in Hollywood played in many of the old silent films. In one show, for instance, he played opposite Nazimova.

Lights Ended Career

Then “kleig light eyes” set in and his movie career was ruined. Recalling his old urge to study primitive man, he shipped promptly to Honolulu and from there to’ study the Polynesians in the South Seas. He spent years there. He fell in love with the secretary of the Governor of one of the islands. And he bumped into an old American pal of his. The pal thought he had gone native and tried to persuade him to return to the States. It was no dice. She’s His Secretary Now

Then the friend got wise. He DID persuade the governor’s secretary to visit the United . States and, of course, Mr. Schenck came too. Mr. Schenck and the governor's secretary are married now, and she’s his secretary. He signed a contract to lecture for two years. That will be up next spring. Not later than June, Mr. Schenck says, they will go back to the South Seas, perhaps for ever.

He’s Still Wondering -

Meanwhile—and this is how this all ‘came up today—he has written a book which has been published by ' Bobbs-Merrill. = The book is titled. “Come Unto These Yellow Sands.” Mr. Schenck was conferring yesterday with his publishers, and wondering out loud. even after two years, how we who live uneventfully in the cities ever escape with our lives in modern traffic.

Guests

Police Entertain Young Sisters Waiting for Their Aunt.

ALL IN a policeman's day— The police force is playing host today to two little girls who, en route from Muskegon, Mich., to Arizona, stopped here to wait for their aunt, Mrs. John Pratt of Washington, D. C.. Arriving at the Union Station this morning they asked the station master the way to the police station. Going them one better, the station master called police and the girls rode to the station in style. The two children, Elleda, 13, and Mary Ann Cooper, 8, told police their mother instructed them to go to the police station when they arrived here, and their aunt, driving from Washington to Arizona, would pick them up. Mrs. Cornelius: Cooper, the mother, and the family’s 1-year-old baby are to follow by train. The girls’ luggage consists of a small suitcase and “Dolly Dimples,” Mary Ann’s doll. Perfect gentlemen, police carried the bag but Mary Ann, thanking them, cradled “Dolly Dimples” in her arms.

HOOSIERS SEEK PLOWING GLORY

Ten to Compete at Fenner Farm Monday; Tractors Will Be Used.

The spirit of vocational competition among Hoosier farmers, first evidenced in pioneer land-clearing bees and lately in hog-calling contests, seems to be expanding. Otherwise; how do you account for the fact that at high noon Monday, 10 members of the -National Farm Youth Federation will meet at the Edward K. Fenner farm on Arlington Ave. and plow for glory. Each provided with a tractor, they will engage in competitive plowing, to be judged on evenness, straightness and mneatness of furrows, straightness of furrow wall and other technical details. The 10 are winners of elimination contests in the section and the contest will be judged by five experts. The winner will compete in a final contest in which valuable prizes are to be awarded. Another contest, not so new, but a Hoosier institution by now, will be held Monday on the Grover C. Arbogast and the James Stephens farms, four miles east of Muncie, and two miles west of Selma. This will be the ninth State Vocational Agriculture Corn Husking Contest and it is expected that mora than 10,000 persons will attend. Paul Sare, Perrtsville, husked 1365 bushels last year to win the title. The record is expected to be shattered Monday, if weather conditions are good. There will be awards for the win-

ners of the annual event.

Debs Turn Cold but Lovely Shoulders to Glamour Crown

By JOAN YOUNGER

United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Oct. 18 .—With the stag lines forming in front of army

offices instead of ballrooms the glamour girl crown for the outstanding debutante of the year is getting the cold but lovely shouider. At present the title still belongs to Breda Frazier, who would be only too happy to get rid of it—if she could. Not that there is any shortage of beauty, background and big money in the debs’ ranks, but there also is a feeling that too much hoopla isn’t quite the thing this year. James H. R. Cromwell, for instance, reportedly put a hush-hush atmosphere over all plans for the debut of his daughter, Christine. Step-child of Doris Duke Cromwell, the so-called richest girl in the world, daughter of Delphine Dodge Cromwell and lovely in her own right, Christine was a natural for the G. G. title. But although Jimmy Cromwell was once famous for his gay and lavish parties, its political parties which interest him now—and

Christine’s debut will be a quiet;

affair.

But it won't be any quieter than

Anne Morgan's. Young Anne, granddaughter of J P. Morgan, will come out in restrained Morgan fashion—at a family party. And although she'll get all the gilt edged invitations going, her friends say that Anne. like her famous aunt, is more interested in good works than good times. Pamela Tower, granddaughter of Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, refused a debut. Instead she took the money it would have cost and presented it to British war relief funds. So, according to people in the know, the girl most likely to step into Brenda's size 4 pumps will be more or less of an unknown. Gossip around the Stork Club pins the title on Josette Daly, who they say is the choice of artists Bradshaw Crandall and Arthur Williams Brown. Josette will come out in about a week at the famous Tuxedo ball, at Tuxedo Park, the stronghold of Eastern aristocracy. She's ‘the Frazier type—a brunet with brown eyes, longish hair, and just about Brenda's size. To add a bit of spice, she has a touch of the Spanish about her and her friends say

she would like nothing better than a movie career. :

MAJOR PARTIES

PUSH DRIVE FOR ~ HOUSE CONTROL

Shift of 48 Places to G. 0. P, Would Give It Edge ‘in Next Congress.

By MARSHALL McNEIL Times Special Writer ’ WASHINGTON, Oct. 19—Control of the House of Representatives,

|which may hold the key to the

legislative program in the next Congress, no matter who is elected Pres ident, is at stake in the November election, with indications that some 22 states may decide the contest.

A shift of approximately 48 places from the Democratic to the. Republican side would give the G. O. P,

|a majority in the House. The Sen-

ate will retain its Democratic ma= jority, since only one-third of its members are to be elected next month. > Republicans claim they will con tinue the trend of the 1938 offyear elections and capture the House with votes to spare. One of their experts estimates that his patty will win from 55 to 64 seats. Democrats, on the other hand, ex« press equal confidence.

Trouble-Shooter Called

But both parties are exerting exe tra effort now to swing the Congrese

. | sional elections, the Democrats have

ing just called on the help of a youthful trouble-shooter, Rep. Lyn=.don B. Johnson of Texas. ‘President and vice presidential candidates of both parties are paying more heed to local congressional contests in areas they visit, and other speakers for both parties are accepting the opportunity to plug for their respective Congressional nominees. : Interior Secretary Ickes at Akron, 0., this week asked that a Democratic House be elected Nov. 5, says ing: “In order to carry out the difficult task with which you will have entrusted him (President Roose= velt), you must give him a Demo=« cratic Congress to support him.” Republicans, on their side, are aps pealing to voters to give them control of the House, so that Wendell L. Willkie, if elected, may have this needed support.

Predicts G. 0. P. Gains

One Republican analyst, whose entire time is spent in handling problems of Congressional elections, and who has visited 18 Eastern and mid-Western states in the last few weeks, predicts gains of 55 or more seats by his party in the following states: . California, 5; Colorado, 2; Connecticut, 2; Idaho, 1; Illinois, 8 ta 10; Indiana, 4; Iowa, 3; Kansas, 2; Maryland 1 to 2; Massachusetts, 2; Michigan, 2 to 3; Minnesota, 2; Missouri, 2 to 3; Nebraska, 1 to 2; New Jersey, 1; New York, 2; Ohio, 5; Oklahoma, 1; Oregon, 1; Pennsylavnia, 6 to 8; Washington, 2; Wise ° consin, 3. Others give the G. O. P. a chance in one district each in West Virginia and Kentucky and, perhaps, Virginia. : : House Majority Leader John Mc~ Cormack of Massachusetts touched on a theme close to the 435 hearts in the House when, in arguing for a Congressional recess Monday, he said: : “Individual members of both par= ties are confronted with the ques= tion of their re-election, and while members of each party want to see their party win nationally, naturally, they are concerned with their own election, and I do not blame them.”

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Oct. 19 (U.
