ARC Costs Top $122.4 Million
in Record Year Of Service
The cost of American Red Cross
services to the American people in
the 1967-68 fiscal year totaled $122,
457.011, according to the organization's 
annual report which was
released.
The expenditures were the
Widest in any year Since World
War II, and exceeded the organization's 
1966-67 fund outlay by $14,
251,944.
This increase was due mainly to
the constantly mounting demands
for Red Cross services to military
personnel, occasioned by the war
in Vietnam, and by a series of unpredictable 
natural disasters, the
report points out Expenditures for
aiding the armed forces totaled $48,
440,467, and the cost of assisting
disaster victimes came to $15,008,
086.
These two activties alone during
the year increased expenditures
of the national organization - as
distinct from those of the 3,300 local 
chapters - by some $9,55 million
over 1966-67, and required the national 
organization to spend $2,494,
2699 more than its 1967-68 income.
In transmitting the annual report
to the Secretary of Defense, E. Roland 
Harriman, American Red
Cross chairman and General James
FF. Collins, president, said the organization 
was able to meet the
challenge of 1967-68 and to "accomplish 
our goal of caring for human 
needs only through the stong
and continuuing volunteers participation 
and support of the American 
people."

Gabby Hayes,
Cowboy Hero,
Died Sunday
George
"Gabby" Hayes, the grizzled, cantankerous 
sidekick ot dozens of
Western movie heroes, died Sunday 
at the age of 83.
The come cowboy actor succumbed 
— at St. Joseph Hospital in
Burbank at 9:40 a. m. He was admitted 
to the hospital a week ago
for treatment of a heart ailment.
Sporting a beard of mousey hue
and long hair, Hayes supplied the
"durn tootin" ecdemy relief in 174
Western motion pictures, including
many of the Hopalong Cassidy
films and later the Roy Rogers
series of musical Westerns.
Born a tenderfoot in Wellesville,
N. Y., on May 7, 1885, Hayes began
appearing in amateur theatrical
productions at the age of eight.
During his high school summer
vacations he played semi-pro baseball 
with teams in New York and
Ohio.
At the age of 17, Hayes ran
away from home to join a stock
company and for the next 27 years
sang and danced in a burlesque
troupe and later on the old Keith
and Orpheum vaudeville circuits.
He made, bis first movie, "Rainbow 
Man, in 1929 and played a
trapeze artist. He became an instant 
success and a year later he
grew the beard that was to become
his trademark. He once explained
to an interviewer how it all began. 

A movie studio owner named
Trem Carr saw me in my false
beard in run theater act and asked
me to grow o real one for the sixday 
movies he was making with
John Wayne and Bob Steele.
"I shaved it only once since then
— in 1939, when I had four months
off. But my housekeeper saw me
without my beard and was scared
to death. I looked in the mirror,
and it sure scared me too. I never
shave it again."
Semi-retired since his network
television show went off the air
in 1953, Hayes lived alone in a
1-unit apartment building which
he owned in suburban North Hollywood. 
His wife, Dorothy, died in
1958 after 43 years of marriage.
He still received fan mail from
all over the world, including many
letters from Africa where his movies 
are still being shown.

FACS Training Unit
Set For Four
Colleges In Ga.
College students from four middle 
Georgia colleges are learning
first-hand about public welfare and
receiving college credit for it in
an experiment unique in Georgia,
according to State Welfare Director 
Bill Burson.
The Bibb County Department of
Family and Children Services has
established an Undergraduate Student 
Unit in cooperation with Fort
Valley Stale College, Mercer, University, 
Tift College and Wesleyan
College.
Anticipated results are the relief
of the social work manpower shortage 
through availability for employment 
of college graduates with
practical training in a public welfare 
department and the opportunity 
for students to learn about
and test their, interest in social
work as a career.
"I expect the success of this project 
to encourage cooperation with
the Department by colleges and
throughout the state. Colleges and
the Department have long felt the
need for an organized effort to
train AB degree students to move
directly into the public welfare
field." Burson stated.
In the undergraduate Student
Unit junior and senior college students 
participate in welfare department 
programs and learn department 
organization and public
welfare administration and philosophy. 

Under the direction of Mrs. Dorothy 
W. McArthur, Bibb County
Family and Children Services Director, 
and Mrs. Katherine W. Johnson, 
Caseworker-in-Charge of the
Unit, the students undertake casework 
assignments working on a
one-to-one basis with welfare clients 
needing special services.
"The involvement and enthusiasm 
of the students is Illustrated
by the young port Valley State
College man who said that a caseworker-client 
visit was a beautiful
experience and the young, woman
from Tift College who managed
to buy as $1 each two beds being
discarded by her dormitory for her
assigned client," Mrs. McArthur
stated. Faculty members report
that this enthusiasm has stimu
lated 
better grades and study habits. 

Participating faculty members
are Mrs. Gladys Stenn Porter, Ft.
Valley State College; Dr. Marguerite 
Wobdruff, Mercer University;
Dr. B Carroll Carter, Dr. Stanley
Lott and Cecil Cornwell, Tilt College; 
and James Scarborough, Wesleyan 
College.
The initial unit is composed of
six students, two each from Fort
Valley, State College, Mercer University 
and Tift College. Two students 
from Wesleyan College will
enter the program at the beginning 
of the next semester. Future
units will consist of eight or more
students.

Lutheran Council Assumes
ALC. LCA Campus Ministry
The Lutheran
Council in the USA has agreed to
conduct a campus ministry program 
for two of the church bodies
that participate in the cooperative
agency.
By unanimous vote of the 44 representatives 
to its third annual
meeting her, the Council accepted
responsibility for administering the
entire operation of the National
Lutheran Campus Ministry, sponsored 
jointly by the American Lutheran 
Church and the Lutheran
Church in America to serve their
students at non Lutheran colleges
and universities.
In an enabling action, the bylaws 
of the Council were amended
to establish a Department of Campus 
Ministry in if Division of Educational 
Services. Provisions for the
takeover are to be worked out in
consultation with the NLCM
through its executive committee.
No date has been specified for the
transfer.
The newly-created department
will direct studies concerning ministry 
in college and university communities, 
initiate and administer
the campus ministry services of the
division, assist in strengthening the
ministry of congregations to persons 
in academic communities, and
conduct the programs of campus
ministry on behalf of one or more
of the cooperating bodies upon upon 
their request and at their expense. 

The Council acted hi response
to requests from both the ALC and
the LCA. Its other participating
bodies are the Lutheran ChurchMissouri 
Synod, which conducts its.
own campus ministry, and the Synod 
of Evangelical Lutheran
Churches. All four bodies will be

represented on the supervisory committee 
for the new Department of
Campus Ministry in view of the
increasing services that are being
supplied Cy the Council in this
area of activity.
The National Lutheran Campus
Ministry with headquarters in Chicago, 
was organized in October of
1906 by the AIC and the LCA to
continue student service they had
previously carried en together in
the Division of College and University 
work of the National Lutheran 
Council.
The bilateral agency was made
necessary by the fact that the NLC
was succeeded Jan. 1, 1967 by the
Lutheran Council hi the USA, in
which tile ALC and the LCA were
joined by the LC-MS and the
SELC.
As the LC-MS conducts its campus 
ministry, through its districts,
and problems related to pulpit and
altar fellowship were also involved,
no provision was made for the
Lutheran Council to undertake this
activity in behalf of all its participating 
bodies. Developments are
now underway that may, eventually 
result in a united campus
ministry.

6,500 LIGHT YEARS AWAY —
Astronomers at the University ot California's Lick Observatory 
on Mount Hamilton made these first-time photos of a pulsating star — a new
kind of far space object discovered by British astronomers in 1967. The star figure
flares, then fades 30 times a second, and at peak brightness it is 30-50 times brighter than
the Sun. In left photo, the pulsar (lower of two shining objects) is flashing. In right
photo, it has "turned off' while the other star-like object continues to shine. This pulsaris 
in the Crab Nebula, 6,500 light years away, and is believed a remnant of an ordinary
star that exploded eons ago. Astronomers believe it to be no more than six to 10 miles
across. Its matter is packed so tightly that a teaspoonful would weigh millions of tons.

Commission Appointed
For Lutheran Appeal
A ten-man commission 
was created by the Lutheran 
Council in the USA at its third
annual meeting here to plan and
take specific steps to launch a
nationwide open end financial appeal 
in 1970.
The appeal, projected as an annual 
program, will be undertaken
by the cooperative agency's four
participating bodies and will encompass 
their 17,500 congregations
with a combined membership of
nearly nine million Lutherans.
The funds will be used for emergency 
and endemic need at home
and abroad.
Partners in the Lutheran Council 
are the American Lutheran
Church, the Lutheran Church in
America, the Lutheran ChurchMissouri 
synod, and the Synod of
Evangelical Lutheran Churches.
The concept of an open end appeal 
was endorsed in principle by
the council or its annual meeting
last year. Since then, both the ALC
and the LCA have approved, the
proposal at biennial conventions.
The two remaining churches have
scheduled, action on the proposal
at their biernial conventions this
summer and fall.
Three basic reasons offered by a
study committee for the open end
appeal were.
Because it is a basic Christian
responsibility, commanded by Christ
Himself. "Give ye them to eat.'
Eagerness to share God's gift'
meaningfully with friend and for
alike should always characters
followers of Christ.
"Because Christians in the USA
participate in an affluent society
to such an extent that unless their
sacrificial sharing is both visible
and proportionately substantial, the
integrity ot their witness is viti
ated.
Because the factor of physical
and mental well-being is so closely 
related to world reconciliation
and peace nut emergency relief
and community development are essential 
to any constructive alternative 
to violent revolution.
Although an open end appeal has
no specific announce need goal, hope
has been expressed that the initial 
in-gathering would exceed
$5,000,000.
Among the ten persons named
were ALC parish pastor, the Re
Harold B. Kildah, pastor of First
Lutheran Churh in Minot, N.D.
the Rev. R. Dale Lechleither, of
Minneapolis, executive director of
the ALC Board of American Missions 
and the Rev. Kenneth Priebe,
also of Minnepolis, director of
stewardship in the ALC.
Others included Mr. Marvin Borgelt 
of Minneapolis, a layman of

the LC-MS who serves on its Board
of World Relief; the Rev. A Lorenz 
Grumm of St. Louis, LC-MS
stewardship counselor, and the Rev.
Edwin Neger, pastor of St.
Paul's Lutheran church in Fort
Wayne, Ind.
Also named were Dr. Martin E
Carlson of New York, assistant to
the president of the LCA; Mr. William 
P. Cedfeldt, also of New York,
director of the LCA Commission
on stewardship, and Dr. Robert W.
Stackel, pastor of Holy Trinity Lutheran 
Church in Akron, Ohio, an
LCA congregation.
The Rev. Daniel M. Estok, a pasor 
of the SELC serving St. Paul
Lutheran church in Westport,
Conn., was also appointed.
Acting oh a request from its Division 
of Mission Services, the
Council endorsed expansion of stall
services into three areas, of Specialized 
ministry The proposals,
which must be submitted, to the
Council's four participating bodice
for approval, call for new programs 
in Indian-American ministry
leisure-recreation ministry and a
broadly-based ministry in community 
development and community 
organization to begin in 1970
or later.
In response to a report from a
special supervisory committee on
"The Role of the Church in the
Changing Social Order," the Council 
authorized a continuing form
on church society, to be convened 
no less than once annually.
Its purpose will be to identify critical 
social issues and correlate reponses 
of the churches.
In a related action, the Council
voted to request its member bodies
to participate in a study of terms
designating documents produced by
the churches in the area of church
and society and the professes for
producing such documents.
The recommendation was made
"in the hope that such a study
might be of assistance in bringing
about a more uniform practice in
the development of, and terminology 
designating such social documents." 

Also approved were budgets for
the Council of $2,263,380 for 1959,
$2,346,880 for 1870, and $2,465,735
for 1971, of which the participating 
bodies are requested to provide
$2,160,530, $2,239,505 and $2,351,480
over the three-year period.
If new work A recommended by
the Council is approved by its
member bodies, the budget for 1970
will become $2,576,595 and $2,707,
65 
for 1971, with the bodies contributing 
$2,469,220 and $2,593,410
over the two year period.
