Preaching And Carrying 18 Hours Not At All Unusual, Says Basnett
"Of course you have to give up some activities," was the only statement John Basnett, College junior, made about his work of being minister of a Pleasant Grove church. Basnett also carries 18 hours as a speech major and takes an active part in music activities as member of Phi Mu Alpha.
Basnett became a licensed Baptist minister March 4,1948. Shortly af-
Basnett became a licensed Bapterwards he received his assignment to the church at Pleasant Grove. An attack of pneumonia shortly before Easter sent him to the hospital in Kansas City, Mo., forcing him to give up his assignment.
Basnett doesn't feel it is so unusual to carry on activities as a minister while attending the University. "I wanted to be sure this was the right field for me and actual practice was the only way to find out," he explained.
Calm and pleasant voiced, the ex-Navy man plans to wait until the end of this semester for another appointment. After graduation in the spring of 49 he will enter a seminary to work for his bachelor of divinity degree.

Parents Afraid To Talk Sex,
Ohio Sociologist Believes
"Too many parents are afraid to talk sex with their children," Dr Lowrie says. "When they do talk often they don't know what to say."
Young people, the sociologist adds, need to be encouraged to date, for those who do date learn to get along with other people, develop richer and more wholesome personalities, gain poise and balance, become less emotional, judge the opposite sex better, and have a wider choice in the selection of a mate.
10-Year-Old Buys Old Fire Engine
Napa, Calif.—(UP)--David Hotelling, 10, believes he may be the youngest owner in the United States of a genuine fire engine.
He submitted the only bid when the Napa city council offered to sell two pieces of antiquated fire equipment—a 1926 model rescue car and a 1914 pumper. David bid $25 for the rescue car. The council delayed briefly to check legality of the transaction, then awarded him the vehicle.
David earned the $25 selling Christmas cards and doing odd jobs in the neighborhood. He's too young to drive, but still thinks he's got the biggest bargain on earth.
He sits in the truck and plays he's a fireman.
