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. Stacking some of the leftover lumber used in building 16 tent
frames for the Malin Migrant Center are, from left, Larry Cassidy of Klamath Falls and
Ed Lippert and Jim Marrs of Medford, Each camper contributed $5 to cover the over
head costs of the camp, but it turned out to be practically self-supporting.

Vatican Prelate Cues
Popes In Ceremonies

He is Msgr. Enrico Dante, pre

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

the past 49 years, and master of
ceremonies since 1947.

of American churches embarrass

"American ministers agreed
with me and are convinced with
the difficulty of keeping spiritual
values in sight above monetary
values," said Rev. Gordon Pow

churches he visited in the United

$200,000 to $600,000.

Pope Benedict XV wanted to;
make Msgr. Dante a Vatican dip

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

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

conclave, had taken an afternoon
