The universal organization of the American people is again going to the nation for funds to support its great and varied humanitarian work in the 12 months beginning July 1. We call the American Bed Cross the people/s \universal\ organization because its services are available to all who need them; because anyone who wishes to serve can .\join the ranks of its volunteers; because it's the one club that doesn't set some '•B|j^3ff^um11icEtionfor^emD€irslnp. •'•:-. The banker's son in the Army in Korea, confronted with a family emergency, has the same access to the Red Cross field director's services as his fellow-soldier, the sharecropper's son. Their mothers, facing serious surgical operations, have' the)same right' to receive Red Cross-collected blood. The in- dustrialist whose home is blasted by a tornado may join his humblest employee in a Red Cross shelter. There is something in the Red Cross for everyone. Those who are fortunate enough not to need its emergency services may avail themselves of its very useful — and free — courses in first aid, water safety, and home nursing. The sick and the infirm who cannot take advantage of these are served by lied Cross volunteers in hospitals and other institutions. _, The Red Cross is YOUR organization. Your contribu- tion to it makes you a member. Support it generously When its volunteer solicitor calls on you in March. G. C. H. S.

'Ravena-Coeymans was the victor, and the game was played at iQuilderland. The Dutchmen made -a brave effort •to catch up in the closing minutes, the attack being spearheaded by •Frank Bess.

GCHS had only Iwalks an^\com#tioms~pf \men A new year is upon us, and with its'coming we look forward again to the annual observance of the World Day of Prayer, the first Friday in Lent. Next Friday, Mar. 8, wl mark the seventy-first anniversary of an institution which had its birth as a United States observance sponsored by a small group of church women and which has spread to the far corners of the globe touching 143 different areas in six continents. As we review the small though sig- nificant beginning and trace its growth to its present scope, we realize its dramatic impact which ac- counts for such phenomenal expans- ion. The global prayer chain, which will begin at daybreak in the Fiji and. Tonga Islands just west of the Inter- national Date Line where Queen Salote leads her subjects in prayer, will progress until the sun sets twenty-four hours later on St. Law- rence Island in the Bering Sea mid- way between Alaska and Samoa. At no time during the day-long journey of the sun will the prayerful vigil be broken. This international ceremony, a striking manifestation of the world brotherhood and universality that man is more and more earnestly seeking, will be repeated in some sixty languages and more than one thousand dialects. The theme of this year's service is based on a New Testament text, Ro- mans 8:35: \Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trib- ulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?\ In the United States, where ob- servances will be held in 20,000 com munities, an order of service issued by the United Church Women will be used-, written by a Hungarian emigre Serena Vassady, whose personal ex- periences in war-torn Hungary give poignant meaning to her supplica- tions for world unity. In it, we heaopwvoiced, -ithe- : testimonies, . the yeamirigsj and the .prayers' 5 of Chris- tians who are today 'living behind the Iron Curtain. As we identify our- selves with those less fortunate than, ourselves and enter into fellowship of suffering with others, we pray that people everywhere may be aware of the imperishable reality of God's. love. Brotherhood among peoples of all races and cultural backgrounds is. an urgent need. All about us are' evidences of a sorely divided world; forces that separate men from one another are strong. Even though the idea of one world began 2,000 years ago when Jesus of Nazareth preached the brotherhood of man 1 , we, realize how far short we come of the ideal. Rapid strides in transportar tion and communication and scien- tific investigations have largely an- nihilated natural 1 barriers to unity; but psychological', man-made barriers as exhibited' in racial tensions, still exist. .As we relate the theme to the problems that face us today, our prayers will seek * for spiritual strength to alleviate \man's inhuman-,. ity to man.\ The observance this year will challenge Christians every- where to translate ideals into action and bridge the gap between convic- tion and practice. Prayers naturally will differ in nature and form according to our faith. There will 1 be diversities in custom, languages, 'and service, but through these very differences 1 will emerge a total 1 richness binding us closer together.

Such incidents are multiplied' rthroughout the world as we unite in the bond of purifying prayer. Since its inception, the observance has experienced an ever-increasing financial-.-support of interdenomina- tional 1 mission projects. As we pray for world unity and world peace, our increased contributions relieve mil- lions in blighted countries. Our of- ferings, .-allocated by United Church Women- ..through the Divisions of Home and Foreign Missions of the National' Council of Churches will further .the mission work among In- dian Americans; bring relief to low income ilmiing communities and ag- riculturaBinigran'ts overseas;-promote edueatiorfj'.fpr Christian leadership; provide.'fjiristian literature; and sup- port nupierous other projects. This jrear we bow our heads to (Continued from Page 1) For a moment left us digress to learn Jhe identity of the author of the letter. Some years ago I ran across 1 ' a book. It i s the only copy I have ever seen'. Entitied \Life and Labors of a Civil War Nurse,\ it is the story of her own experiences by Miss Catherine S. Lawrence. From her nlative Schoharie she bad volun- teered at the outbreak of the war for nursing service. But let her tell the story in her own words: \As soon as it was reported' that Sumter was.taken, the ladies began forming societies for the work of preparing lint and bandages, knitting socks, etc., for the wounded soldiers. The next thing nurses must toe get- ting ifeady to go to the seat of war. I enlisted as ah' army nurse in 1861. I was sent to the City Hospital, New York, for training, then to Washing- ton andi Fortress Monroe. Eventual- ly I was back on Washington, by 'ap- pointment of Surgeon- General 1 Find- ley, as directress' of. Kalarama Hos- pital, a contagious disease hospital, quartered in the mansion home of Joel Barlow. The ladies' of Albany sent a box of material which was- to •arrive at Christmas. It was found three months later at a government storehouse. It contained bedding, underwear, choice tea and sugar, dry beef, crackers, four quarts' of currant wine, all in good state but the cakes, which were thrown overboard. \A short time before this box came, I received 1 one from Guilder- land Center. I wrote the ladies there to send me some farmer's cheese. They did so, but it, too, failed to reach me for months. The box was missent to the Sanitary (Commission) rooms. A young man finally came to see me, asking if I was the lawful owner of a- box they had at the rooms. He said it should have attention for he thought it con- and international level. In the ob- servance we hope to gain a new awareness of our specific local' prob- lems as well as the greater issues of world' affairs and a firm commitment to our 4 personal responsibility in pray foftljinity at the local, national,' bringing about world brotherhood.

Al- so there was a larger quantity of farmers' sausages that we-j^ mighty rich. These I gave to 'the Iboys and they knew how to dispose/ of- them, \As I was passing through the ward one day, I saw a forlorn 1 , sick boy, who spoke to me. 'QVJKgs/ Law. rence,' he said 1 , 'I guess you don't know me.' I said, 'No.' , 'I stm Eddie Crounse from Knowersville.'' *Why Eddie, how in the world 1 came you here?' I said 1 . T am a soldier,' said he, 'I'm sick and hungry, Give me something good to eat, please.' \This was. quickly done, '\ The best I could 1 lay my hands on Wats given to Eddie. 'Has father was;& rioted physician, and-1 had been iintimately acquainted 1 with his family, I lost'no time in writing therh' and on Sunday morning my letter was ahswered 1 .'

At the front of the stage, in front of *he (footlights, appeared the words, \Altamiont Fire Depart- ment, in large wihite letters. Punch and checking facilities were provided Iby the firemen.
