Advenfists Begin
Annual Ingathering
The Medford and Valley View
Seventh-day Adventist churches
today open their annual ingath
ering campaign to raise funds
for hospitals, dispensaries,
schools and other projects cir
cling the globe from Iceland to
the Coral sea, and from Mexico
to Mozambique.
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.

caused 118 deaths compared
with 56 from five accidents by
mid-April last year. All involved
scheduled airlines, one of them
exclusively a freight carrier.
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.
Three in New York
Last year's accidents occurred
in scattered sections of the coun
try and did not cause mass con
cern like that resulting from
three in the New York area this
year.
Airline accidents this year:
American Airlines, Elizabeth,
N. J., Jan. 22, 30 deaths.
National Airlines, Elizabeth,
N. J., Feb. 11, 31 deaths.
U. S. Airlines, a freight carrier,

"I think it will be the same
teams on top this year the Gi
ants and Yankees," she said.
"The same players will star,
too, although we'll certainly
miss Joe DIMaggio."
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."
Many Autographed Balls
Down the years she's been
presented with many autograph
ed baseballs which she's passed
on to her children. She's had
as friends such diamond greats
as Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker and
others, "but, oh, that was so long
ago you wouldn't remember
them."
The stately actress hasn't seen
a big league game since - she
moved to Hollywood six years
aeo. She gets around to the Pa
cific Coast league games, and
takes in the rest on radio and
television. When she's working,
radio blares the games in her
dressing room on the movie sets.
She can quote more batting av
erages and baseball anecdotes
than the most sports-minded stu
dio electrician or actor.
At home Miss Barrymore of

stretches out on her king-sized
bed to watch baseball on tele
vision. She listens to the radio
and reads a book at the same
