Educator Appeals For WSSF Support
Stressing the fact that Americans are receiving aid through World Student Service Fund for the first time this year, Brank Fulton, student Christian educator and leader, appealed to the YWCA-YMCA at the membership meeting, and to the tag day teams after dinner yesterday, to make the drive next Tuesday a success.

(Schumann) before the meeting.
Thornton McClanahan, in charge of the WSSF drive at the University, introduced Mr. Fulton.
Harry Jennison presided.
Is College Fund
"WSSF is a fund of university and college people, by university and college people, and for university and college people," Mr. Fulton said, by way of explanation. "The WSSF meets no competition with other relief groups, because it confines its work largely to educational purposes for those in refugee universities, internment camps, and war prison camps," he added.
Six years ago, this fund was a war relief drive to help China, and for three years, it has been of a world-wide scope. The national goal this year has tripped from last year's $100,000 to $300,000, equivalent of the nation's collective coke bill of last year.
Store Good Will
"If we train Chinese leaders, we will have stored away a reservoir of good will, because China has more faith in the United States than in any other nation," Mr. Fulton predicted. "What we do with minority groups in the United States
will influence China, India, and other nations to trust us or not in the future," he continued.
In summing up the work WSSF is doing, Mr. Fulton mentioned the following four fields in which it is effective: keeping up the morale of Americans In prison camps or interment camps; undergirding the faith of China in the United States; restoring the faith of refugees in America; and developing enlightened leadership in enemy countries.

Dyche Museum Displays Historical American Flag
St. Louis, (INS)—American women will have an important voice in solving post-war problems because men "have bungled peace problems for centuries."
In conclusion, Miss Martin predicted that "American women will elect a Republican president in 1944—whether the war is over or not."
The 1944 election, she added, "will be a women's victory." She said G.O.P. national committee figures show that between 52 and 65 per cent of the votes in the last general election were cast by women and predicted this percentage would be increased in next year's election.
Predicts More Votes By Women
Miss Martin spoke in St. Louis last night at a testimonial dinner for Mrs. Ruby Koelling, city recorder of deeds and first woman ever to hold that municipal office.

" Lieut. Richard R. Amerine (of Lawrence, Kans.) a marine flier, came wandering in to our lines today, thin as a ghost, to say he had been out in the jungles, dodging Japs and existing on red ants and snails for seven days. He had parachuted from a fighter plane when his oxygen apparatus went out, a week ago, and had landed at Cape Esperance on the northwest corner of the island. Trying to find his way back, he had run into a large group of Japs. He had found one Jap asleep by the side of a trail, killed the Jap by beating his head with a boulder, taken the, Jap's pistol and shoes, killed two more Japs with the butt and one with a bullet, and finally reached our lines safely. Having once studied entomology, the science of bugs, he was able to subsist on selected ants and snails. He knew which were edible."
Amerine Cited In Best Seller
An article about Dick Amerine, marine lieutenant, was published by Richard Tregaskin in his book "Guadalcanal Diary." The article, which was brought to notice by Dick's friend, Otto J. Lutness, a chemist at the DuPont Nylon Research laboratory, read as follows:
The Victory Book Campaign, a national campaign to secure books for men in the service, will begin at the University Monday. The campaign will be sponsored by the CVC.
Arrangements will be made by the CVC book campaign committee for students to leave books they wish to contribute in a box or bookcase in Watson Library. This committee is headed by Bel Thayer Claycomb, sergeant.
