ter, 1{. b heaton is Tom Wolfe's sis­len Ye: el, older than the novelist by ~ h rs. You will remember her if ~~~gel ave read Look Homeward, ~abe] a~ Of Time and the River. ~e her heaton looks remarkably ~ere . brother even for a sister. .lt line

lt~r and Lamp

of little people who had not yet learned that they had been projecting into something at least resembling im­mortality, who retaliated by pointing scornfully to the things Wolfe had re­vealed about his own family-none of which came to anything but the ad­mission that they were human. But Mabel Wheaton wrote her brother a letter asserting her absolute faith in his intention, her understanding of what he was about. He replied by tele­gram-for he himself was already troubled by what he knew the inevi­table reaction would be, as he after­ward revealed in The Story of a Novel, and besides he was a fellow of impul­sive generosity, quick to respond to any warm gesture with another in kind.

"No novel," that telegram said in effect, "should ever be judged by line and detail but only as a whole. And when you look at it that way, you will see that I have painted all of you, all the W olfes and all of Asheville, as a great people." looking at Mabel Wheaton, you know what he meant.

She has had her share of the ups and downs which make up our passage under the sun. In her girlhood, she was a singer in vaudeville for a while. Then she married Ralph Wheaton, whom Asheville still calls a Yankee though he left Ohio 30 years ago. Ralph sold cash registers, made a lot of money. They lived in Grove Park in those days, the Wheatons-were the rich kin of the Wolfes. Then Ralph got caught in the boom spirit which struck Asheville in the 'Twenties, and which Tom Wolfe has described in Boom Town and various chapters of Of Time and the River-lost his

money. His health gave out about that time, too, and the cash register com­pany dismissed him. (You can read the story of the Wheaton's cash regis­ter days in a story "The Company" which Tom Wolfe wrote and Mike Gold published in the New Masses.) After that, the Wheatons moved to Washington. Tom Wolfe, home from Guggenheim fellowship days in Eu­rope, and writing Of Time and the River in a Brooklyn lodging house, used to come down to Washington to see them when he got too lonely, which was pretty often. lately the Wheatons have been living in Florida.

But if Mabel Wheaton looks re­markably life Tom Wolfe, she almost becomes Tom Wolfe over again when she talks~she talks a great deal-, and especially when she talks of her brother. The words come with the same torrential rush that you find in ~is book.s,. and there is a feeling of tmage ptlmg upon image so rapidly th.at the ton~ue is unable to keep up With the bram. The effect is a little incoherent at first, but it all turns out in the end to have its pattern.

She reaches back into the past to dig up a picture of Tom Wolfe as a great lumbering boy with his sleeves halfway up to his elbows, Tom Wolfe debating in the graduating exercises at the North State Fitting School in Asheville, her pride in him as she stood outside the hall and heard Wolfe charging through the crowd t~ her shouting, "my voice won for me!" He had had the foghorn voice which was his. in manhood since he was eleven years old. Tom Wolfe, handed a check for $10,000 by the man from Harper's, turning away to stare out the window of the Chelsea Hotel with ~ears in his eyes- pouring out his joy 10 a letter t? her that at. last somebody had had faith enough 10 him to give him more money than he had ever

3

seen before, for a book he had not yet written. Oh, he would justify that if it tore the heart out of him. He would write the finest novel he could write­he'd show 'em. Never in his life was he ever to quite get it through his head that he had already arrived. Oc­casionally his pride rose up and as­serted itself, but for the most of the time he remained a humble and wist­ful boy.

All that, and a thousand things more, as Mabel Wheaton tells you about the death of her brother. She was with Tom Wolfe in his last days.

He had gone out there to Seattle, to the West, to escape-from what he did not quite know, from all the op­pressions of all living. "You can't go home," he had written her from New York on the eve of the journey-on that theme had been writing The Web and the Rock. And now he had been ill for weeks in the Providence Hospital at Seattle. His brother, Fred, who runs the Bluebird Ice Cream Co. in Spartanburg, was out there. But the ice cream business needed Fred, and Tom needed to be looked after dur­ing his convalescence from pneumonia. So Mabel Wheaton closed up her house, sent Ralph off to his people in Florida, and went to Seattle.

Tom Wolfe had fallen off-50 pounds. When she got him up from the hospital bed and dressed him, she had to fasten up the slack in his waist­band with two safety pins in the back of his pants. But it made him look bet­ter. He was handsome now. He put his hands in front of his belly. "I can do without that for good," he grinned. And sickness had done something for his skin. The Viennese Jewish doctor from Vienna came in and showed them some X-rays. The pneumonia shadow which had been big as a hat once was down to the size of a dollar now. Yes, Tom Wolfe could go. There were some other X-rays, but that was just a matter of form. It was all right now. Tom Wolfe sat on the edge of his bed and grinned at his sister, "Everything's going to be all right now, isn't it, Mabel?" She said, "Of course, Tom."

But first she must go out and rent

4

the best apartment in the best apart­ment hotel in town. She demurred on the score of economy, but he would not hear. "I've got it now," he said. "We never have had it, but we're go­ing to have it now." And then she must buy food according to his loving specifications. Huge steaks, loin lamb chops, French bread, Roquefort cheese, he'd tell her how to make a real salad, so much olive oil, so much vinegar, so much pepper, so much salt. "We've never had it, but we're going to have it now."

When they .helped him into the automobile, he climbed into the back seat, lay back among his bags. He cocked his hat on the back of his head. "Well, we're out!" he boomed, grin­ning.

But at the apartment he felt weak, had to go to bed. And then, while Mabel Wheaton was busy with the preparation of the food he had wanted, there came a telegram-from Dr. Watts of the Providence Hospital staff, who was away at Bellingham. They had developed and examined those X-rays. "Abscess or tumor of the brain."

On the phone she talked to Dr. George W. Swift, the celebrated Western neurologist. "So Watts has taken to diagnosing the brain!" he growled and came over. "Tom," said the doctor, a tall and handsome fel­low, who was himself to die within five months, "I've read your books. You are a great fellow." Tom said, "I know you, Doctor. You're a great fellow yourself."

"Tom, would you like for me to ex­amine you?"

"Sure," said Tom grinning. He knew nothing of the telegram. "But I'm all right. I want to get out of here in a few days and go down to Palo Alto." He had some friends down there, Dr. Russell Lee and his wife, Dorothy.

Swift tested Tom's reflexes. "Urn, pretty good," he said. Then he went over and looked out the window at the dark waters · of Puget Sound.

"Tom," he said, fingering his face, "where is your mother?"

Wolfe slowly froze. "Why-why,

she's in Asheville, North I don't want to go back Doctor. I've got to go to Palo

"Oh, no, you haven't, Tolll· a very sick man. And you've back East to the Johns the finest brain man there night. They come to me fro!ll the West to work on their ,, they don't like me sometimes.,

Tom grinned weakly, "1'ha!S you fail, eh, Doctor."

So that night the journe~ Tom sat on the edge of the b drawing room and grinned, thing's going to be all right, Mabel?"

"Of course," she said, "it's be all right, Tom." ted

verbal and supplementary contract with the Mombi seller herself before she would stand for the picture.

Mombi, as it was described to us by English friends living in Barbados, is probably the equivalent of our root­beer. It is an infusion of some local root thinned with water and sweetened.

S~andard equipment for a Mombi seller is a receptacle equipped with a spigot, carried, of course, on the head; two tin cups, without "Lily Cup" linings, used by the immune

customers; and a pail half full of wa­ter, carried over the arm. This latter is the equivalent of a sink in which the cups are swished around to in­sure complete antisepsis after use.

The amusing feature of the Mombi ~eller ~as the nonchalant but deft way to whtch she reached into the air turned. on. the faucet, and always go~ the flut? m th~ cup. It is exactly the same tmpresston one gets when watching a good soda jerker shoot the soda from one glass to another.

PERHAPS as a child on a freez­ing winter night you used to say, "Now I Lay Me Down to

Sleep" before the living-room fire and then run jump into bed before you got cold, but have you ever been so hot that the only way in which you could say your prayers in comfort was to be safely submerged in a cold bath tub? If not, you don't know what real heat is. We simply "drip" all the time, but then that is just part of the fascinating life of being in China.

After sailing from Vancouver, Au­gust 20, 1938 and having had the opportunity of glimpses of Honolulu, Yokohama, Tokyo and Kobe, we ar­rived in Shanghai on September 6 to become part of the American Church Mission. That is the name applied to work of the Episcopal Church in China. It covers all the lower Yangtse River Valley from the borders of Eastern Szechwan to the Pacific, with Bishops in Shanghai, Anking and Hankow. This together with the nine British dioceses and the one mission­ary district of Shensi (supported en­tirely by Chinese) make up the Holy Catholic Chttrch of China, an integral part of the whole Anglican Com­munion.

Almost as soon as I arrived in the modern city of Shanghai-not at all like the "Chinatown, My Chinatown" which we used to sing-! was put to work studying what I was frankly

' told was one of the hardest languages in the world. I have been here one

' year, I hope to be here for fifty more and this business of learning the lan­guage will probably always be diffi­cult, but through every hour of study

one knows that he is coming just that much closer to the love and under­standing of the Chinese people and that is really what counts if he is to become a helper and co-worker with the Chinese clergy who are already doing such a magnificent piece of work in the service of Our Lord.

Also in Shanghai I had the oppor­tunity of teaching in the theological school of St. John's University, where all the classes are conducted in Eng­lish. It can truly be said that this institution was the Oiental pioneer in western education and it has made a contribution that one cannot fully de­scribe. Today its enrollment has been surpassed by other schools of higher learning, but it has already provided the statesmen of new China and it will continue to furnish leaders of thorough-going Christian character and integrity.

For the past two years, however, St. John's, along with St. Mary's, our fine Middle School (high school) for girls, has been refugeeing (the most

common term in China today) · Z 'de v•

A complete story on the . device can be obtained frrom a techntcal paper pub­lished in the February, 1939, issue of The Journal of .the A_~ronatJtic~l Sciences under the tttle of A Terram Clearance Indicator."

I started building the first model in September, 193 7. I installed ~t in our Ford trimotor airplane the Fnday fol­lowing the birth of my son, Alan

(February 27, 1938). It was demon­strated to executives of our company about a month later. After that a number of other engineers were put on the job. One of these who has con­tributed greatly to the development is Brother W. H. C. Higgins, III, (Omega, '29). He and I were both chosen Pi Kappa Phi Scholars the same year. By September we had a complete and more polished model which I installed in the United Air­lines flight research airplane at Chey­enne, Wyo. I flew east with that ship and took part in the demonstration flights at Newark, N.J., Washington, D.C., Cleveland, Ohio, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Port­land, Salt Lake City and Denver. This took just two weeks so you see we really covered the ground. I had 69 flights in the United Airlines plane and had 89 flights (102 hours) in our own plane during the experimen­tal work previously.

IT WAS a tough job but we did it!

I am referring, of course, to the placing of chapter publica­

So, after leaving the package re­ceived from Assistant Executive Sec­retary Kennett on the corner of the desk for-well, too long, I finally went over to the Purdue publicity of­fice, made a Saturday afternoon date with the assistant editor and we went

recognition badge. As a full member of the Corps, he receives a certificate stating this membership. Above all, however, to each Pi Kapp who joins in this voluntary movement goes something far more important and gratifying than mere material recog­nition. He has the satisfaction of knowing that, through his contribu­tion to the Corps Fund, he is sharing in the advancement of every chapter of his fraternity.

Knowing that any plan such as the Anniversary Corps gathers momentum as it goes along, we may well ask our­selves which chapter, undergraduate or alumni, will be the first to take the lead with 100 per cent membership. One of the features of the Corps is the opportunity of joining whether you are a founder of your chapter or its latest initiate. All have a distinct part.

............. Albert W. Meisel

So the Corps grows and will con­tinue to grow. There is only one AI Meisel, but there will be many more Patrons. Who will be the next? And who will be the next to become a full member of the Corps itself? These are questions only you and the future can answer.

Yes, the Corps grows, grows with every dollar contributed but most of all it grows in fraternal love. It is of course necessary for the Fund to be built up by dollars and cents but through it the love of Fraternity be­comes stronger as each brother has a part in it. If you have not joined the Corps, you will find pleasure in this inner circle of Patrons who have de~onstrated ~1eir love for Pi Kappa Pht by supportmg the Fraternity's out­standing project.

Fraternity Mourns Two Brothers c

JS;.GUST 20 and August 27 were indeed sad days for Pi Kappa Phi, for on these dates two

of our most active and capable alumni members joined the Chapter Eternal. We pause here to pay tribute to Broth­ers Robert G. Gilroy, Alpha Epsilon, and Horace A. Granger, Alpha Delta. Though, geographically, these broth­ers lived as far apart as two persons can in these United States (Miami, Fla. anci Seattle, Wash.) , their lives in the fraternity paralleled one another with striking coincidence.

Robert George Gilroy, Alpha Ep­silon '24, was known by every Pi Kapp iri Florida as an outstanding fraternity leader, a man of highest purpose and integrity of character. One of the founders of Alpha Epsi­lon chapter at the University of Flori­da, he was graudated there in Law. Following graduation he practiced law in Miami, where he was an out­standing civic leader as well as a leader in his profession. He was a charter member of the Miami Alumni Chapter and was its archon for sev­eral terms. Much of the chapter's progressive spirit is the result of Gil­roy's unswerving loyalty to his fra­ternity. He took pardonable pride in the fact that this chapter was the first organized fraternity alumni group in Miami.

In addition to memb~rship in Pi Kappa Phi, Brother Gilroy was a member of the Dade County (Miami) and Florida State Bar Associations, the Masons, Elks and the Episcopal Church.

His death occurred Sunday, August 27, the result of injuries received the previous day in an automobile collision near Meadville, Pa. At the time of the accident he was with his wife on vacation near his former home at Mars, Pa.

Our sincerest sympathy is extended to his widow, two young daughters, and his sister, Miss Agnes Gilroy, who survive him.

Robert G. Gilroy Alpha Epsilon

Horace A. Granger Alpha Delta

Horace A. Granger, Alpha Delta, '29, was an outstanding leader of the fraternity in the northwest. There are but few of our members from the northern tip of Washington to South­ern California who' did not know him or know of him. Those privileged to know him came to love this fellow who was doing such an outstanding job for Pi Kappa Phi despite physical handicaps that would have forced less courageous men to give up.

world's largest grain and live stock market, and the center of the nation's meat packing industry. But far less is known of Chicago as the summer recreation land for hundreds of thou-

sands of vacationists from every part of the country.

Situated as it is on the shores of Lake Michigan, Chicago is able to offer visitors every conceivable facility for

13

matchless entertainment and relaxation. Not only does the cool sparkling water of the lake afford unrivaled bathing and boating facilities, but in addition the climate is itself "air conditioned" by the soft refreshing breezes blowing in off the lake each evening.

The Chicago alumni chapter, which will have charge of arrangements, is rapidly completing an entertainment program for convention visitors which for sheer magnitude has never been approached. Here are just a few of the spots already included in the pre­liminary plans.

Personally conducted tours to the Adler Planetarium, the Union stock yards, the Rosenwald Industrial Mu­seum (which features among many

other amazing exhibits an actual coal mine in operation) .

Attending an All-Star football game at famed "Soldier's Field" -scene of the "long count" Dempsey-Tunney fight-and major league baseball at either the Cubs or White Sox Park.

For thrill seekers only-a tour through Chicago's underworld, the Si­cilian and Blackband district, where those who choose may rub shoulders with the few remaining cohorts of AI Capone, Bugs Moran, and John Dil­linger.

For those who crave the bright lights, there will be dancing and entertain­ment on the famous Board Walk of the Edgewater Beach Hotel, in the Gold Coast Room of the Drake, and

Robert E. Knox, Lambda, Archon of District 5, is the youngest of four brothers, all of whom are members of Pi Kappa Phi-(Wyck, Lambda;

Robert Knox Georgia

Pete, Epsilon; and Larry, Epsilon). As did Wyck, he served Lambda chap­ter as treasurer for one year, and as did Pete and Larry at Epsilon, he served his chapter for two terms as archon. He was his chapter's repre­sentative on the University of Geor­gia Panhellenic Council for four years. He received an L.L.B. degree from the University of Georgia in 1938. As an undergraduate he became a member of Phi Delta Phi legal fra­ternity, of the Blue Key Council and of the Gridiron Club. He served as president of his senior Law class. Since graduation he has been engaged in the practice of law in Thomson, Ga., where he is also a member of the City Council. He was Lambda chapter's official delegate to .the Eighteenth Supreme Chapter meettng in Seattle, Wash.

Studying Dentistry

Harry Fry, Jr., Alpha Epslon, '39, who graduated with a B.S. degree from the University of Florida, is now enrolled in the dental school at Northwestern University, Chicago.

The position of archon of District 9 is held by Ralph R. Tabor, of Coving­ton, Ky., who was graduated from Mercer in 1927. While an undergrad­uate he was for two years president of

Ralph R. Tabor Mercer

the Mercer Glee Club and director of the University Orchestra.

Following his graduation from Mer­cer he went to Chicago and on scholar­ship attended the Webster-Osmer Studios of Music after which he ac­cepted a position with the Music Cor­poration of America. After two years with this company he joined the Ocean Steamship Liners as director of music and host on their ships. He remained with this comp~tny for three years.

In 1933 he became special agent and representative in the Army of the Lib­erty National Life Insurance Company and since entering this work has been located at Fort Clark, Tex.; Fort Sam Houston, Tex.; Fort Bliss, Tex.; Fort Ben Harrison, Ind., and Fort Thomas ley. '

Brother Tabor has just returned from a trip to New Orleans and the Gulf of Mex~co, which . he won for being second tn production with his com­pany for the year 1938-39. He had the distinction of twice qualifying for this trip and as a result had the pleas­ure of taking along a guest with all expenses paid.

Will Wat IJjjflct }!J; Kappa Ph.;?

A WE settle down for a new school year we can­not fully appreciate the magnitude of events now transpiring in war torn Europe. We

read our newspapers and news magazines, we ljsten to our radio-all the while we keep our tongue in our cheek, for we know things we read and hear must be conditioned by censorship. We wonder what we should believe. Our President has said he cannot expect us to be neutral in thought as well as in ac­tion. Another President, in an earliier war, asked us to preserve neutrality of thought. So what are we to do, how are we to conduct ourselves?

We have a great heritage in Pi Kappa Phi, a heritage of freedom and honesty of expression. We have a right to think as we please, but today, in a world of censorship abroad and some confusion of ideas at home, we must take care when we express these thoughts. We must guard ever more closely the right of every man to his own opinion, must not allow ourselves to be carriers of propaganda which, though of little apparent moment, is collectively dangerous.

It is important for any group of educated men to live up to the social responsibility which is theirs. It is doubly important for us, with our democratic backgound as members of a great fraternity, to do our full share in keeping the opinion of our nation on an even keel. At this early stage of the war, it is difficult to penetrate the haze of facts and propa­ganda and see just what our part is to be. It would seem best, then, that we be good listeners, that we avoid becoming entangled in heated arguments, if we are to find and clearly define the goal toward which we should all set our sights. Specifically, no one can say how this war may affect Pi Kappa Phi, but there are certain signs that we should heed. In large part these signs point to material things, to factors that bear upon business or financial problems of chap­ters rather than upon that greater part of our fra­ternity life which is sentimental, intangible. Let us consider an example. As this is being written we are informed by our news agencies of the closing of tobacco marts in Virginia and the Carolinas; we read

16

of increased production and employment in the hell"l' industries, of the good year which is ahead fo; farmers in certain sections of the country. All .0

these things affect Pi Kappa Phi, directly or 10{

directly, because year in and year out the influJC 0

· er· new students into our country"s colleges and untV' ·c sities depends to no small degree upon the econoro~. situations of the parents of boys and girls o_f coc· lege age. We know by experience that economiC fa . tors, national in character, were not felt by the f!a ternity immediately in 1929. The worst depre5510~ years for colleges and fraternities were 1932 an 8 1933. We know also that the recession of 19\ was felt immediately. So watch for the eco~oro~s breaks. Build up chapter reserves, keep them 1~ t· liquid form as possible. This is an occasion for ttgh f ening the belt and observing carefully these signs 0

the times.

f!tMVflntltM ln t!h.lca!~ Chicago-the Windy City-the number twO c~

of the Nation-yes, this is to be the site for our n .5

convention, the Twentieth Supreme Chapter. In ~e forum we do not choose to discuss the program, cost, or to indulge in Chamber of Commerc~ :; tistics showing "why you should visit this city.' r do, however, desire to present a few ideas for you consideration.

The history of our Supreme Chapters is interesting· It tells of meetings in many parts of the counter; in various seasons of the year. In it you can read 0

meetings which turned out to be real dogfigh~· others where business moved in a course of unant· mous approval. One of the most important develo_P" ments recorded was the recognition by the fraterlll~ of the need for an educational program to be )le as an adjunct to the business program. "'

This educational program is comparatively ne "t to most fraternities. In Pi Kappa Phi, we refer tob:e in a broad sense as the Undergraduate Round Ta er sessions. In these columns last May you read Broth . Bob Hanson's idea entitled "Pep Up Supreme ChaP

The Star and LattiP

vy ·or of n· of

te " H r. e spoke from his experiences as leader of ;ound tables in Jacksonville. He wants more time 0~ the educational part of our conventions. His

Potnt of view is well taken and with it he does not ~tand alone. He does not limit this thought to an tncrease in the effectiveness of the program for U~dergrads, but suggests also the gathering of dis­t~tct archons and chapter advisers for special discus­Sions.

With this suggestion in mind we are reminded by ~ former National Secretary that the Chicago meet­tng should be the "Old Timers' Convention." Just Who are the "Old Timers"? Well, we mean by those ~f us who have held positions of leadership in the raternity over the years and, for one reason or an­

other, have found it impossible to get to Supreme Chapters for some time. Begin now to plan for Chi­Jago. Think of the fun it will be to see fellows like ohn D. Carroll, George Driver, Roy Heffner, Henry ~arper! Leo Pou, Dr. A. Pelzer Wagener, Wade Bolt,

I M:etsel, Walt Jones, Billy Monckton, Henry Wag­ener, Elmer Turnquist, Robbie Robinson, Gonzales Quevedo, Forrest McGill Howard Leake, Joe Can-n , ton, Ted Kelly, J. Friend Day, and too, we want you 0 rneet again with two of our founders, Harry Mixson

and S.i Fogarty. Wtth a real turnout of "Old Timers," with dis­

trict archons and chapter advisers from all sections of the country-does anyone doubt that we will take up Bob Hanson's suggestion? b Yes, this Twentieth Supreme Chapter is to be the est yet. We realize that some of us have allowed ~e ~raternity to slip into the background, as far as Ce~ptng up with current policies is concerned. In

?tcago we're again going to put in our oars, to sttr up the caldron ourselves, to enjoy and rededicate ~urselves to the joy and privelege of living as Pi

appa Phis.

(J s:lu.flJtio-n u'lo-m l?lflvfllttnrl The brothers of the Cleveland Alumni Chapter

Pose a question for all alumni to answer. They know, as we all do, that alumni chapters have considerable

of Pi Kappa Phi

ups and downs. They realize that we get tied up in our business and professional lives and sometimes do not get around to alumni meetings as often as we ourselves might desire. So they put it this way: "Should Alumni Chapters pay annual dues on a per capita basis?" i.e., should each chapter be billed so much a man for each man in a given metropolitan area? Their reasoning is that, with such a plan, many of us would be more inclined to come around more often, both because we would have a real financial stake in the work of the chapter, and because we would work just a bit harder to get out and see those fellows who were finding it hard to get to the vari­ous functions.

The question is left with the alumni. How would you react to this idea?

O'u.'l .Afflrliu.m o-4 _gfllg £xp'lflJJio-n ls THE STAR AND lAMP an effective medium

through which we may all ha~e an interchange of opinion? Is it effective as a publicity agency in pro­moting our fraternity's national policies?

Last May the Fraternity Forum made its appear­ance in these pages. Many brothers have found it of real interest. Many others have expressed no opinion. It behooves us to study the various reactions. In doing this we must ask ourselves certain questions. What do we do when THE STAR AND LAMP first ar­rives? Do we leaf through it hurriedly? Do we turn to our chapter letter? Do we read the interesting fea­ture stories by and about members? Or is THE STAR AND LAMP just another magazine that we do not have time to read ?

The editors have the · hope that your STAR AND

LAMP does mean much to you, that it not only takes you back in thought to those memorable experiences in your chapter house, but that it also keeps you abreast of the current trends within your fraternity and the fraternity world at large. We'd like to hear from you- a pat on the back or a kick in the pants­we can be objective enough to realize that either may be deserved.

Pi Kapp Churchman in War-Torn China (Contirmed from page 6)

of ground that you or I would use for a single home in America. But here had been erected mat shacks to house sixteen hundred people. Can you believe it? I couldn't until I saw it; but the people were clean and well cared-for by Christian workers and Red Cross money. There are hundreds of these-a new camp in the western area houses six thousand people. But in spite of it ~11 the Chinese people seem to eat their rice and smile. They are still bearing up under conditions before which you and I would have crumpled and fallen long ago.

But to turn to another side of the picture-an opportunity came just be­fore Christmas for me to make a trip into the country and I shall never forget my first glimpse of life in real, un-foreignized China. Accompanied by the wife of · the rector of Zangzok, I left Shanghai early one morning on a little German river boat. We had first class tickets, but that doesn't mean what it does in America. We sat in a small nine by twelve cabin with some fifty other passengers (all natives) , drank tea, ate bean curd, listened to the patent medicine men, whose wares were absolutely guaran­teed to cure everything (and they did a good business too) and thoroughly enjoyed it all.

Shortly after noon we reached the point on the Yangtse which served as the destination of this particular boat. Here we were met by the village mayor, who had heard that some for­eigners were on board. We were transferred into his little san-pan (row boat) and were then shown all the courtesies of the Orient. We drank tea and exchanged calling-cards (every Chinese has his cards in abundance; mine, printed both in English and Chinese, cost me only 10 cents per hundred) and His Honor assured us that he would give us the very best of care-and he certainly did. He then had us rowed through the village canal, at the end of which we were put on a launch which would

take us up another canal (boats are China's chief means of transporta­tion). We thanked him for his kind­ness and bade him farewell. But, no indeed, we were his most "highly­esteemed friends" and he could not possibly leave us until we were safely at our destination. We were overcome with his kindness but there was noth­ing to do about it. After a two-hour delay (quite the common thing; no one ever hurries) we began the last part of the trip. Almost immediately the mayor appeared with a cake and told us to eat it while he went to an­other part of the launch. I was hun­gry and started to take a piece but was fortunately warned by my companion, who did all the interpreting, that Chinese custom necessitated my wait­ing until the mayor had returned and had insisted several times on our eat­ing his "most humble food." After that was over, I thought that the least that I could do would be to offer him a cigarette. I tried but he staunchly refused again and again, until at last my friend came to the rescue and said that I must remove the cigarette from the package and present it to him with my own fingers. With such for­malities finished, we finally enjoyed our smoke and companionship for the remainder of the way.

Although it rained all the time we were i? Zang~~k I ~id have an op­portunity to vtstt a ltttle country vil­lage with the American rector. We went out in another san-pan and visit­ed several de~oted church people, in whose mud-brtck homes there was ill­ness. An altar was set up with cross and candlesticks, vestments were donned and a simple but impressive service was held. It was still cold and rainy and I was frozen to the bone but I was suddenly put to shame whe~ in one home I noticed a young boy whom I had seen at church that morn­ing. He had walked all the ten miles through mud and rain-and he did it every Sunday. Such faith, such devo­tion.

Shortly after the first of February for purposes of more intense language study I was transferred to Soochow about a two hours run from Shanghai

19

on one of China's modern railways. There I lived for four months in one of the most picturesque spots that I have yet visited. A city of half a million people, it still has its high wall, which was used for purposes of defense in the days of provincial wars and the gates of which are still closed every evening at sunset. Around it and all through the city run innumer­able canals, which thousands of boat­men ply every day bringing merchan­dise from the country or from the metropolis of Shanghai as the case may be. It is aptly named the "Venice of China." But the most striking fea­tures and those which I shall always remember are the many pagodas and temples, towering above the ordinary low-built houses in a majestic and in­spiring fashion. Some have beautiful gardens for quiet and meditation, dis­turbed only by the occasional flopping of a fish in the lily pond, or the en­trance of an unobtrusive, tonsured monk to say his prayers. Colored ex­quisitely, they lend a native beauty that makes an impression, seldom equalled anywhere.

Formerly the Church operated a flourishing middle school for boys in Soochow, but like many others it is now refugeeing in Shanghai. The cor­responding girls school has temporari­ly ceased functioning.

On June 3 I was sent to quite a different part of China. On a Japanese military transport ship I was brought to Hankow, "the Chicago of China." Because we could not travel by night, the six-hundred-mile journey took us nine and one-half days on the Yang­tse. It was a tiring trip of course but that has all been forgotten in the joys of getting settled and down to work with that part of the mission family that is in charge here. At present I am living on Boone Compound in Wuchang (just across the river like Cambridge from Boston) ordinarily Central China College, an interde­nominational one in which we have a part, and the Boone middle school which is entirely ours are located here. They are also refugeeing, only in another direction. After several moves they are now practically on the

20

Burma border with faculty and stu­dents still going strong. The campus here and that of St. Hilda's Girls School nearby have both been turned into huge refugee camps, with food and medical aid supplied. School buildings adjoining our Wuchang Church General Hospital, itself carry­ing on a wonderful work while refu­geeing in Hankow, St. Lois' School and the compound of St. Paul's Cathe­dral have likewise been turned into homes for those who have none. One chapel of the cathedral is being used to store rice, while just outside the sacristy window has been set up a place for obtaining boiled water. Next door is our beloved Order of St. Anne, caring for orphans and crip­pled people.

Yes, these are unusual times, times of difficulty and of crisis, but I wish that you might have been with me this past year to see what has been accomplished. The opportunity of reaching people has been unequalled; everywhere-in Shanghai, Zangzok, Soochow, Wusih, Nanking, Wuhu, Anking, Hankow, Wuchang, the churches are packed with Chinese eager to learn of the Power Who sent these foreigners to help them in their time of need. Day after day our peo­ple preach, teach, treat, operate, bap­tise, confirm, and classes of enquirers and catechumens are full to overflow­ing. Two thousand years ago Our Lord commanded His Apostles to "go and make disciples of all nations" and today these successors of those Apos­tles are bravely carrying on. The times may be perilous but they have pro­duced giants and martyrs for the faith and the Chinese people have come to know the gift of eternal life.

I am just a beginner, my time is still spent with English-speaking peo­ple and with studying the language. I have simply told you of what a new­comer has seen others do. Gradually I hope to have a part. Meanwhile, whether your prayers be before a warm fireplace or in a nice, cool bath, please remember us.

staff of Bell Telephone Laboratories, New York. The award was 'for the development and .first practical appli­cation of the terrain clearance indi­cator.' This device, which indicates by the reading of a dial the height of the airplane over the terrain immediately below- whether that be water, land or buildings- gives reliable indica­tions from 20 feet to 5000 feet. It has been hailed by the airlines as an out­standing contribution to flight safety.

"Clearance of an airplane can be measured by 'bouncing' a radio wave from the ship to the ground and back, and measuring the time of transit. This is obvious enough, but nobody had ever done it, because the time interval is too short for direct meas­urement. The new device accom­plishes its purpose by earmarking each wave sent out, so that by a compari­son of outgoing and incoming waves the number sent out in the interval is known. Earmarking is by continu­ously changing the frequency of the transmitter; by the time a wave comes back the frequency is different, and this difference is shown by the read­ing of a meter. The greater the dif­ference, the longer the transit time, and hence the greater the airplane's clearance over the terrain. So the meter is calibrated in feet, and the pilot can tell at a glance his height over the terrain immediately below.

"Mr. Newhouse, who is thirty-two years of age, was graduated by .ohio State University in electrical engmeer­ing in 1929 and received the Master of Science degree in 1930. He then entered Bell Telephone Laboratories, where he took up the development of radio transmitters for airplanes. In 1937, Mr. Newhouse was assigned to the development of a terrain clearance indicator. Utilizing a new vacuum tube and associated circuits, which had recently been developed in the

laboratories, Mr. Newhouse .first con­structed a working model. Following extensive flight tests in a Bell Tele­phone Laboratories' airplane, a num­ber of refinements were added, and the terrain clearance indicator was publicly demonstrated in October, 1938."

Omegalite Best Again (Continued from page 10)

excellent layout, a .fine balance be­tween alumni and active chapter news were outstanding characteristics of this publication according to Glen Sample of the Purdue publicity de­partment who assisted with the judg­ing.

The W oodbird was a close runner­up and only in a very few details did it fail to come up to the West Lafay­ette publication. These Upsilon boys also were right in there .fighting. One issue did not quite come up to par but other than that they may well be proud of their efforts--congratula­tions boys. The Alpha Theta Starter had each cover design in color but the contents lacked variety and pic­tures. The editor of the Alpha Mu News deserves a bouquet for his free style and easily read material.

Well, much more could be said but in conclusion may I say that now is the time to start making plans for 1939-40. For a good chapter publica­tion which will be of interest to ac­tives and alumni alike, remember­three or more issues, printed if pos­sible on a good grade of paper, but if mimeographed, colored ink and sketches may be included, illustrative material, plenty of headings and sub­headings, occasional boxes, free style, shorter articles and more sub-headings in longer articles, names set out in bold type, some color if not too ex­pensive . and a balance between active chapter and alumni news.

Best wishes and good luck for '39 and '40.

Michigan State Begins New Year

By Richard Jones

Five of the actives at Alpha Theta re­ceived their diplomas last June, and have set out on their respective careers. Past Archon Ned Martinson is teaching at Shep­herd. Bob Trembath, also a past archon, is working in the Reo Experimental Lab in Lansing. Bill Baird is with the Ferndale Dairy in Grand Ledge, and Jim Ford worked at a Country Club near Detroit during the summer months. George Salsbury has been working at his home in Jackson, but has returned to Michigan State this fall to work on his M.S. degree.

Other actives who did not return this term are George McKay, now attending Washington and Lee, and the Hayden broth­ers, Fred and Joe, who are going to Alma College.

New men added to our pledge group during spring term were: Bill Zavitz, Sid

Deming, Russ Monroe, and Milt Brasch. Class elections held last spring saw

Pledge Tom Wilson elected treasurer of this year's sophomore class.

In athletics, Parker Gray and Bob Field won the runner-up title in interfraternity tennis doubles' competition, while Bob "Lefty" Miller did some nice pitching in several varsity baseball games.

The tennis players, Bob Field and Parker Gray, were again teamed up when they were initiated into Mortar and Ball, national honorary coast artillery fraternity.

The house has a new coat of paint and a few minor improvements which have added greatly to its appearance. Painting of the interior was a particularly welcome improve­ment.

In the alumni rank Brother Roy Sprague has notified us of the arrival of a daughter in August. Brothers Roy Brigham and Jim Sterling were also visited by the stork re­cently.

Brother Rube Griewe was on hand for commencement last June. He has been with the Army at Ft. Meade, N.D., for the past year.

Brother Norman Hurd, '31, Agricultural Economics teacher at Cornell, stopped by the house in August, accompanied by his bride of last June.

Brother Samuel F. Eberly of Marion, Ohio, a summer visitor to the house, advised that he is married and is now managing a W. T. Grant store in Marion.

Brother Louis W. Raymond, '29, of Bridgeport, Conn., visited us while on his vacation. He is the father of two boys, and is engaged in time study work for a valve manufacturing company.

Other summer visitors were Bob Dearing and Orson Bird.

The 14th anniversary of Alpha Theta Chapter's installation into Pi Kappa Phi was celebrated last May 9, with one charter mem-

Alpha Sigma Is Mapping Program

By George A. Steele

When Brother Ed Jones was chosen to be chairman of the Rushing Committee last spring we all made it our big purpose to pledge more men this year than the chapter has ever pledged previously. The members and alumni are making a good start toward this goal, thanks to the very capable leader­ship o{ Brother Jones.

During the latter part of the summer, active and alumni members of the chapter staged a rush party in Chattanooga for men coming to Tennessee in the fall from that city and immediate vicinity. The affair was enjoyable and our dual purpose of making contacts with prospective freshmen and re­viving interest and enthusiasm among the members was accomplished. All of us pledged our efforts to the program designed to secure the largest pledge class in the his­tory of Alpha Sigma.

Some of the more outstanding members of Alpha Sigma have been elected to im-

24

portant positions on the campus. Ed Jones is president of the sophomore class. Ed was the winner of the Earl Zwingle Best Fresh­man Award last year. The Earl Zwingle Award is a silver loving cup presented by the chapter each year to the best freshman in the chapter. Another member elected to an important campus office is Lanas Royster, who is rising vice-president of the senior class. James Seay is a member of the A. S. C. Dance ~ommittee. Kenneth Parkinson is business manager of the Tennessee PtUmer and chairman of the committee on invitations for Barn warm in'. Willard Richardson was president of the senior class which gradu­ated in August.

The chapter is proud of the officers who will lead it during the coming months. They are: Ed S. Byrd, archon; Ed Jones, treas· urer; James Seay, secretary; George A. Steele, historian; Lanas Royster, chaplain; Kenneth Parkinson, warden.

Washington Is Starting

By DeLoss Seeley

Year

Again to the front-Alpha Delta made the front page with another initiation last spring and as a result the chapter rolls have been increased by four new men.

They are: Joe Scroggs from Colville, Washington. Joe plays nursemaid to some of Uncle Sam's forests during the summer months, always attempting to keep th:m from getting burned; Tom Trumbull-wtth aspiration toward the words of the pen­we'll see some of his work this year in THB STAR AND LAMP as Alpha Delta's Historian. Tom made good as a midnight

grades in the house. And as a result he received the coveted scholarship trophy given to the chapter by Brother Dr. George Allen Odgers; Don Westbo-from down where they grow fields of dalfodils-Puyal­Jup. Being a navy man, Den's interest is in trying to get a girl in every port.

The guidance of good ship Alpha Delta will be placed in the hands of Lyman Hop­kins for the coming year. Lyman is a Senior who comes from Olympia and is one of those self-made men that we often read about but seldom know.

Of possible interest to alums and all visitors to Alpha Delta this year is the announcement that the recreation room of the house now has a pool table (trying to keep the boys home nights). In addition, a badminton court has been constructed and was very useful during rushing. Above all, to beckon you, we now have a blue neon light emblazoning the name of Pi Kappa Phi to all passersby.

Alpha Delta lost two men last summer. Ray Hall left for Rochester, N.Y., to accept a position with Stromberg-Carlson; and Martin Franciscovich is teaching across the sound at Poulsbo.

One of the highlights of our social season last spring was the wedding of our archon, James J. Byrne, Jr., to Miss Dora E. Glenn of Hoquiam, Washington.

The procession led by our own Brother, Dr. Herbert H. Gowen, traversed the length of the long living room to take their places by the fireplace banked with baskets of spring flowers.

Miss Glenn was dressed in a smartly

Scene at wedditJg ceremony of Brother and Mrs. James J. Byrne, Jr., at the Alpha Delta Chapter House last spring. The happy couple (standing side by side) recei'l'ed the marriage yows from Pi Kappa Phi brother, Dr. Herbert H. Gowen (at left front) of the Uni'l'ersity of Washington faculty.

tailored suit. A pert summer hat gave ap­propriate color matching harmony to a smil· ing face that everyone will remember.

A party of approximately thirty persons witnessed the wedding of this happy couple and, as they left the steps of the house, all took part in showering them with rice and good wishes. Their honeymoon was spent in Victoria, Canada.

The romantic call of the outdoors brought this couple together, as they met on top of a crest in the heart of the Olympic moun· tains where Brother Byrne keeps a watch· ful eye upon part of our National Forests.

Appropriately they are now spending their summer in the same forests wherein they met. Romantically they met; romantically they shall live.
