Pastor O. E. Schnepper, who will direct the campaign, stated that "ominous world events, re ligious and political, may well now challenge members of all Christian churches to greater missionary activity and sacrific ial giving." Of the $17 million budget of the church, Medford members hope to raise $3500 during the next few weeks. Many of them, in addition to their regular tithes and weekly offerings, will per sonally give the $19.31 required to support the world work for one minute, while others will also solicit donations from friends of missions. Statistics for 1951 show a per capita giving of members of that church in North America of $167.47,an increase of $11.74 over 1950.

Non-scheduled airlines had no accidents in either period. Comparison of fatalities in re lation to passenger-miles flown is not possible because up-to-date traffic figures are not available for the 1952 period. But airline experts estimated that traffic now is running about 20 per cent higher than in the same period of 1951. That would partially offset the increased fatalities in safety computations.

Long-Timo Follower Miss Barrymore has been an ardent follower of the national pastime since she was a toddler of three. "My father, Maurice Barry more, started taking me to base ball games in New York," she explained. "He was crazy about baseball. He'd never heard about it until he came over from Eng land. "Certainly I understood what was going on at that age! I was told enough about it," she added tartly. "After that Introduction I went to the games every year. They didn't play at night in those days, so when I acted on Broadway I always went except for days I had to do matinees. I've seen several World Series, too."
