world as well as the United States have received guidance and understanding help from Dr. Kershner.

advice and assistance, and he keeps up a tremendous correspondence. He is in heavy demand as a speaker and makes many trips over the country. He likes to organize cultural groups — especially those concerning foreign and philosophic affairs—dnd takes an active part in them. A member of the Disciples of Christ church, he is chairman of the national commission to restudy the Disciples of Christ. He was president of the international meeting of the Disciples in Denver in 1938 and president of the American Theological Society conference in Chicago in 1941, He also is a member of the American Association of University Professors, the American Oriental society, the American Society of Church History and Phi Kappa Phi, national honorary scholastic society.

Record in Education

Before coming to Butler, he was dean of Kee Mar college, Hagerstown, Md., and American university, Harriman, Tenn. He also served as president at Milligan college as well as Texas Christian university. He received his LL. D. degree from Transylvania university and has done graduate study in the British museum and in Europe. Other degrees he holds include B Litt. from Transylvania college; A. M. from Princeton university, and an honorary LL. D. from Bethany college. A native of Clear Spring, Md., his home is at 4257 Clarendon road. His son, Frederick Jr. is a lieutenant in the navy on active service now. His daughter, Mary, is in New York writing for a trade journal, and his youngest daughter, Beatrice, is a junior at Shortridge high school.

Retiring Dean Known Throughout Nation

By EMMA RIVERS MILNER Times Church Editor The announcement that Dr, Fred D. Kershner is retiring as dean of the Butler university school of religion would fill his many friends witp consternation if the dean were not to continue as a member of the faculty. Those of us who know him think of Dr. Kershner as one who loves all men, as a power for goodwill among the many branches of Protestantism In the country as well as the branches of his own brotherhood, the Christian church. The echo of his speech, “One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church,” voicing his ideal of all Christians ultimately laboring together, will long be heard. Dr. Kershner delivered the speech at the International Convention of the Disciples of Christ in Denver when he was the president. It has been published and also 14 other books which have come from his pen. Among his scholarly works are “Pioneers of Christian . Thought,” used as a textbook in many colleges, “Horizon of Immortality”; “Those Gay Middle Ages,” and vol-. umes of his sermons. With all his deep knowledge of theology and questions which have puzzled religionists down the ages, the dean has another side. It is said that an intimate and affectionate relation existed between him and his children always. And he sits for hours by the radio listening to the broadcast of baseball games and is able to call the players by name and tell you their best points. He is a member of the Wranglers’ club and hobnobs on meeting nights with his cronies Rabbi Morris M. Feuerlicht and Dr. Frank 8S. C. Wicks and others called the cream of Indianapolis intellectuals. Among the many achievements of Dr. Kershner is the raising of the standards of the school of religion until now only graduate students are enrolled. Under his guidance it has become one of the largest, if not the largest, theological seminary of the Disciples of Christ.

mott merely mentioned that he was “thankful to be alive after a very narrow escape.” His parents are quite used to his nonchalant and cheerful! attitude about the war. “From his letters, you'd think the war is being won over a bridge table,” Mrs. McDermott sald today when she learned of the mishap. “He tells us nothing about what is going on.” The 25-year-old officer's air force job is to help plan the missions and brief the fliers. He landed in North Africa the day after Christmas, 1942, and was on hand for the North African and Sicilian campaigns. He was among the first airmen to arrive in Italy. A graduate of Shortridge high school and Wabash college, he received his commission at Miami Beach, Fla. Mr. McDermott is president of the Hammel & MecDermott printing firm here. Other survivors of the crash who are shown in the picture with Lt. McDermott are Lt, Bernard 8ensel, Burlam, Colo.; Maj. James Dyer, Madisonville, Tenn.; Capt.

entirely of four-engined JR. A. F. Lancatters delivered the main weight of bombs last night to Cologne, Germany's third largest city, starting fires visible for more than 200 miles. The Lancasters attacked through clouds, but first reports indicated that the bombing was “well concentrated.” The raiders dropped their whole bombloads, including blockbusters ranging possibly up to six tons, on railway marshalling yards at Col-

Fighters Intercept The yards were devastated in a night attack Aug. 8, 1943, but since had been repaired. Returning crews reported strong anti-aircraft fire and night-fighter interception over the target area. The Paris area also was hit hard last night, with a Paris broadcast reporting that ‘vast fires” were started in the Montmartre district and several northemn suburbs. Up to 2000 American planes ranging from four-engined Flying Fortresses and Liberators to singleengined fighters set the pace for the attacks on France with a series of daylight raids yesterday on Germany's “Atlantic Wall” along the channel coast and installations farther inland. :

PROPERTY AT GUNG IS GIVEN TO CITY

that complete acquisition of the property by the city should put an end to criticism that Indianapolis had been investing too much money in improvements on property owned by other sources. “This deed assures the permanency of the venereal disease control program and demonstrates the city’s sincere intentions to support our efforts to the full measure of its ability,” said Dr. Herman G. Morgan, health board secretary. Management and personnel at the venereal clinic will remain the same, said Dr. Morgan, who recently took over as director of the establishment following the resignation of Dr, Norman M. Beatty, the city's chief venéreal control planner. The hospital is being operated this year on a budget of $78,864, most of which is allotted by the federal government. In addition to Dr. West, other officers of the Indianapolis Social Hygiene clinic are Mrs. Evans Woollen Jr., vice president, and Mrs. Roberta Nicholson Jr., secretary.

PLAN BIG POINT CUT "FOR MUTTON, LAMB

planning the sharp cut in lamb and mutton point values. . It said the values for these meats effective May 1 will be approximately half of the current values, which range from tw® points a pound for stew meat and other inferior cuts to- 10 points for loin chops and roasts, * Officials, however, denied ‘reports that the point value of butter would be halved, to eight points a pound. Spurred by printed reports that this 50 per cent slash was planned, OPA was understood to have told its regional offices this was not so. Officials refused to be pinned down definitely, but indicated that 12 points a pound was a likely guess about the May point value for butter.

Release Next Week

May point value charts probably will show some further reductions in pork points, it was said, despite the sharp reductions earlier this year. Most of the reductions probably will be only one point a pound, it was understood, although some might be two points. Some inferior pork cuts already are valued -at zero points, while other cuts range upward to six points, . OPA officials said they could not release informattion on future point values more than two or three days in advance of the effective dade without disrupting normal trade channels, and said that for this reAson official plans for May will not be released until next week. But they said they were confirming the lamb and mutton point

been made public in semi-official form at the capitol. The reduce tions, they said, were necessitated by drought conditions which are forcing farmers to slaughter spring lambs.

It's all a matter of logic—and a sense of direction. And a man will logically direct himself to a GOOD store—where everything, regardless of price, is fine—to a Store that has a clothing background and experience inthe FINEST FIELD! He will know that the same taste—the same services (including fitting services}—the same insistence on satisfaction—that surrounds the selling of $100 Suits—are accorded to him, regardless of the price he chooses to pay!
