On Sunday evening, March 19, DePauw University will bring to the community Dr. Alfred Noyes, outstanding poet of the English-speak-ing world. His lecture will be delivered at 7 p. m. in Gobin Memorial church. Soon after his graduation from Oxford University, Dr. Noyes began a literary career which has led to the publication of many volumes of verse, including "The Golden Hynde," "The Elfin Artist,” "The Enchanted Island,” “Beyond the Desert,” "The Torch Bearer,” "Shatlowe on the Down and Other Poems.” He is the author of a novel, "No Other Man,” and a critical appraisal of English letters, "The Pageant of Getters.” From February to June, 1943, Dr. Noyes was visiting Professor at the University of California. On the occasion of his thirtieth lecture, the number wanting to hear him had increased to the point where it became necessary to. move into a larger hall. As a visiting professor of English at Princeton University, he became widely appreciated in the Bast. He Is a profound believer in aesthetic and religious values and has vigorously fought materialistic philosophies as guides to personal and public
action.
The public is urged to attend the lecture to be delivered by Dr. Alfred Noyes on Sunday evening. March 19. at 7 o’clock in Gobin Memorial church. Admission free.

What The Modern City Needs “A great many things our parents never dreamed of. It needs roads not the tangle of traffic jams and stop lights it has now, but a network designed for free fast moving traffic. It will need proper provision for air transport- private and commercial planes and helicopters. “It needs protected neighborhoods where people can buy and build with an asburance that their investments will not go sour. It needs neighborhoods which are more nearly self contained, where the shops and other sub-centers of the community can be grouped in a convenient and rttractive manner. “The city needs a stable and convenient business center with plenty of parking space. It needs good schools full of light and air with adequate playgrounds around them, “The modern city must have breathing spaces, just as the colonial village did. These are parks, playgrounds. open squares, plazas -again free from the hazards and noise of automobile traffic. “It needs light and air for every dwelling, every office building. This docs not mean more space—it means using the space we have more intelli-
gently.
“Above all it needs order and beauty—for this is something all people react to, and their lives and thinking are better for it. These are some of the things the planners say the city needs. Most citizens would agree’. Many say that these are fine objectives for any community but impossible of realization. “As it happens, they are being tealized. Many cities already have the beginnings of a network of express highways. Separation of pedestrian and automobile traffic is something that has been used in parts of many American cities. Some have at least a start on airports. There are restricted neighborhoods where the types of houses and sizes of lots protect the inhabitants. There are good schools, beautifully designed, amply provided with the necessary ground space around them. There are splendid parks and recreation areas in the towns from one end of the country to the other. “Certain sections of certain towns are handsome to look at and agree-

Koester, head of the western remount am' commanding officer of the war dog reception and training center, explained that the program, still in the experimental stage, was a job only the Army could do on an adequate scale. Dogs are selected for size, coat intelligence and character, rather than by breed Th -y will be available in size- suitable to the men who will use them md with short coats a blind man can care for. The dozen dogs row in the 12Week training pci ind range from pure-bred Dalmatian, which takes its work so scriou-ly that he wrinkles his brow when uncertain of wiat to do, to a small Australian shepherd. “Some dogs are so conscientious and anxious to learn everything right, and try so hard, that they actually have nervous breakdowns same as people," Pvt. Sonny Moore formerly with the Shrine circus,
said.
A four-week training period is necessary to adjurt a blind person to his dog. “It la difficult for a sighted person to comprehend the courage a blind person must summon when he entrusts himself to a dog,” it was explained. “When he walkwith a ilog, he is pulled along fast The dog is trained to pull and rnak<the man walk fast. So he must stride along in total darkness. This is necessary to develop confidence."

nants of the Hutterian Brethren settled. Written in New High German, the chronicle depicts the history of the sect, a group of Swiss religious dissenters who migrated in 1537 toi Moravia to found their own church and colony. The next 300 years thv manuscript accompanied them on an odyssey leading from one country to another. In 1874. the sect came to America amd settled in the Territory of Dakota. Members of the Hutterians fought desperately for the life of the manuscript as Empress Maria Theresa of Austria, in 1760, had ordered all Hutterian writings destroyed. Ziegelschmidt suspected that the chronicle might have been transported to this country and began investigations which led to Rev. Michael Waldner, aged minister of the Bon Homme colony near Yankt* a. Waldner's grandfather, the professor learned, had brought the manuscript from the continent and stored it in a cupboard of the farm house 70 years ago. Ziegelschmidt obtained grants from the American Council of Learned Societies and the Carl Schurz Memorial Foundation to publish the works In addition to its contribution to religious history, he said, the Chronicle throws light on medieval European folklore.

valuable food.
The heavy run of hogs to market in the last two months has caused a temporary curfcit of lard. During January and February of this year 200 million more pounds of lard were produced than during the same two months of 1943. Storages are crowded to the limit. Shipping space is lacking to carry the extra lard overseas.

ior as shortening for pie crust and baking powder biscuits. Lard, if properly mixed, makes a pastry that is tender and flaky rather than mealy. Three important points for achieving this flaky texture are: first, have lard and water very cold; second, use as little water as possible to hold the dry ingredients together, and sprinkle tl'" water on; third, work the dough as
little as possible.
A good all-purpose flour is better than a very soft flour for pastry, because the dough it makes is easier to handle and the pastry more flaky. 1 The proportions for one pie are: 1% cups sifted flour and 1 teaspoon salt with 5 or 6 tablespoons lard. To ] moisten this quantity only about 2' . to 3 tablespoons of w’ater are neces-! sary. The cold solid lard is cut into ' the flour, or worked in rapidly with ! the fingertips, until only a few particles about the size of peas remain. The water is sprinkled, never poured on the dry mixture. A small salt shaker or some other such utensil can be used as a sprinkler and will moisten the particles of flour and] fat evenly. Then the mixture is molded into a stiff dough with a fork and allowed to stand about 5 minutes before rolling out. Instead of rolling on a floured board and adding extra flour to the dough, home economists lay the dough between waxed papers and roll it out. If the pastry Is baked before the filling is added, as in custard type pies and some fruit pies, it takes only 10 or 12 minutes in a hot oven.
