ihurch Youths Build For Migrants Proving that a church work camp can b a rewarding and productive experience, eight high school students representing the Presbytery of Southwest Oregon combined work and play while constructing 16 tent frames for the Malm Migrant Center. The pioneer work camp had the distinction of being one of the first in the state for Presbyterian young people, although the general idea was not just recently in troduced by the denomination, Similar pilot projects of the Pres byterian Church in Africa were responsible for the underly ing concept of the Peace Corps In this instance, the Presbytery of Southwest Oregon, looking for a youth work camp project, was aware of a need for new tent frames to accommodate the mi grant workers who usually begin to arrive in Malin early in Sep tember. The camp facilities have been in bad repair since the Co lumbus Day storm damage last year. There was also recognized an even greater need to drain and gravel the grounds at the Migrant Center, but this job involving hea vy machinery wa9 considered too difficult for students to tackle. Finally a solution to both prob lems was found. The church young people felt they could take on the project of building the tent frames if local farmers with an interest in the camp would take care of the more important job 01 draining and graveling the area. The pioneer work camp, with Rev. Laing Sibbet of Peace Me morial Presbyterian Church as dean and Rev. Ethan Whitman of (he Malin Community Presbyte rian Church as counselor, was purposely limited to a small group on the theory that a few can accomplish more, in a short time. Campers were selected on the basis of experience in confer ence youth programs. The six-day session, Aug. 19 to Aug. 24, was attended by two girls and six boys, Gary and Lar ry Cassidy, Klamath Falls; Bruce Kramer, Coos Bay; and Erin Lor ton, Jim Marrs, Ed Lippert, Roy Fair, and Dru An Graff, all of Mcdford. Joining the crew for one day were Andy and Martha Rag land and Charles Thompson from the Henley District. In addition to offering their time and talent, each young per son contributed $5 to cover the overhead costs of the work camp although it proved to be prac tically self-supporting. Produce, moat, milk, pastries, and staple groceries were donated in generous amounts by farmers, dairies, and food stores in the Klamath Basin, not to mention the gifts of lumber and nails by local concerns. . The meals were prepared by Mrs. Fern Warner of Klamath Falls, who volunteered her serv ices for the duration of the camp, so the call to eat never brought a complaint. Living in the standard migrant tents, both boys and girls shared on an equal basis the usual 'kp" duties and construction chores. To speed up the work, and com plete as much as possible, the youths first built a tent frame by hand, taking measurements from it to work out the cuts and lengths of material. Willi two electric saws, it was a fairly simple mat ter to pre-cut a "package" for each frame which could then bo assembled by a team of two. Averaging two units per day, the campers erected IB tent frames, 12 by 14 feet, by the end of the session.

BUILDERS AT WORK Constructing new fent frames for the Malin Migrant Center wasn't so difficult after the materials were measured, cut, and assembled in "pre-fab packages." The project was undertaken by youths in the Presbytery of Southwest Oregon as a six-day pioneer work camp experience. Working on the assembly-line, from left, are Rev. Ethan Whitman, counselor, Malin; Erin Lorton, Medford; Rev. Laing Sibbet, dean, Klamath Falls, and Dru An Graff, Medford. All of the lumber and nails were donated by Klamath Basin concerns. CAMP CLEAN-UP The fact that a clean-up usually follows a work detail was dis covered by three of the seven high school students selected to attend a recent Presby terian work camp.

Enrico Dante, pre fect of papal ceremonies and the only man who can give a pope such whispered Latin orders as: get up," "sit down," or "kneel. Pope Paul VI complies, as did John XXIII and Pius XII. No man not even a pontiff knows all the details of the magnificent and complicated Vatican ceremo nies as well as Msgr. Dante. The gentle, thin-faced prelate with the beaked nose has been a Vatican ceremonial official for the past 49 years, and master of ceremonies since 1947. Serves Six Popes He served under six popes la! though he gave orders only to the last three) and played ceremonial roles in five conclaves, about 100 beatifications and about 50 canon izations, including those of St. Joan of Arc, St. Pius X and St. Frances Cabrini, the first Ameri can saint. Dante started calling the Vati can home March 25, 1914 when Pope Pius X the man who has since been sainted in a ceremony Dante directed appointed him pontifical master of ceremo-i nics. But the protocol job did not Riches Held In Distaste By Minister SYDNEY, Australia-A Presby terian minister, recently returned from two months in the United States, says he found the wealth of American churches embarrass ing. "American ministers agreed with me and are convinced with the difficulty of keeping spiritual values in sight above monetary values," said Rev. Gordon Pow ell. The clergyman said some churches he visited in the United States had incomes ranging from $200,000 to $600,000. The DANMOORE HOTEL 1217 S.W. Morrison St. Portland, Oregon All Traniitnt Gamh.

Dante a Vatican dip lomat, but he declined the offer so he could stay in Rome with his two unmarried sisters. Appointed to Congregation In 1923, Msgr. Dante was also appointed assistant secretary of the Sacred Congregation of Rites, the Vatican department w h i c hi handles church rites and canon ization and beatification causes. He became secretary of that congregation only four years ago for the very simple reason that his predecessor, Msgr. Alfonso Carinci, a man of amazing vital ity, served on in the post until the age of 97. Carinci, who mark ed his 100th birthday last Novem her and is the world's oldest Catholic archbishop, is now secre tary emeritus. Directing Vatican ceremonies is not always an easy job, even for a man with Dante's experience ana savoir (aire. During one re cent ceremony in which cardinals were to pay obedience to the pope, Alfredo Cardinal Ottaviani. who was supposed to lead the procession, failed to notice Dante's gestures and remained seated. Dante eventually had to call him aloud, a thing he nor mally never does. Like every human being, even Msgr. Dante is not perfect. Few people outside the Vatican know, but an "adoration" of Pope Paul by the cardinals the day after his election had to be postponed by half an hour because Msgr. Dan te, tired from the fatigue of the conclave, had taken an afternoon nap and overslept. FOOD FOR Deoth the separation of our spirit trom th body cannot change our character. This is why we must do all wo con to develop Christ-like personalities now. Death cannot change the direction in which we ore traveling. If in our daily life we are walking with our Lord, death will only hasten a richer lite with Him. If we are wolking by faith now, we will someday dwell in knowledge. "Therefore, be ye also ready" said James as recorded in Matt. 24:24. Let us determine to live unselfishly for Him, shoring with the mon in need. It is onlv then that we may be pre pared to live victoriously in Heaven. c. WAYNE LOWE, Evangelist CHURCH OF CHRIST 2205 Wontlond Ave. Ph.
