CLERIC NOTES 3 NEEDS TODAY Three needs have become crisis in the social order of our time, the Rev.

Arthur L. Kinsolving, D. of Princeton, N. told an audience last night in Cutler Union, University of Rochester, where he spoke on "Religion and the Riddle of Existance." He said we are in a moral crisis today with confusion of moral values; in a cultural crisis for lack of agreement as to the real mean ing of life, and a spiritual crisis because of the profound disturbance of man's inner harmony. The three needs, he said, are moral guidance, complete under standing of life and spiritual power to fulfill God's purpose for harmony.

Dr. Kinsolving, who was an asso ciate of Dr. Alan Valentine when the University of Rochester president was a Rhodes scholar at Oxford University, will speak again at p. m. today in Cutler Union under the auspices of the University Lecturt Committee.

Yesterday the chest arrived nt the library from Paul Revere Trade School where boys had hammered it together and painted upon it designs from Lois Lenski's book about Mary Jemison, "The Indian "Captive."

Rochester's Treasure Chest, one of hundreds being assembled and shipped by children throughout the United States and Canada, will go to Italy by popular vote of the youngsters here who have partici pated in the project. Pinnochio 'Must' Miss Julia L.

Sauer of the Roch ester Public Library, chairman of the local committee said the children made the decisions as to what the chest should contain. Pinnochio was a "must," she said, because the stry of the Italian puppet was a favorite with young readers in both countries, the children pointed out. Among otner dooks in tne chest are "Silver Pennies," by Miss Blanche Thompson of Rochester, "Homer Price," three dictionaries, including a picture dictioinarjt; Andersen's fairy tales and several other stories of children in far-off countries besides plenty of Amer ican stories and poems. No fitting copy of Grimm's Fairy Tales could be, so reluctantly the committee had to omit it from the chest, MUs Sauer said. Also left out were "Little Women" and "Treasure Island," because the Italian children already know those stories so well.

A scrapbook of Rochester, being prepared with the help of the Board of Education's photograph collection, hasn't yet been packed. The chest will be on display until Feb. 15. i dcfiuGIcrS TO CjGt Vegetable Tips At Meeting Today Information on how best to grow vegetables in your gafden will be today at the second meeting jof the two day conference of the Monroe County Farm Bureau in the Rorhester Phamhpr rnTn. merce.

Decline Comment Tiernan. who arlved in Buffalo last week, for a survey of avail able space there for the regional office declined to comment on the statement by Capt. Jesse H. Carter, assistant director of the Naval Ordnance Bureau planning and progress division that the Navy plans to continue its operations manufacturing of naval material in the former Duffy-Powers building there, except to say that its location was central and it had the needed space. Meanwhile, George M.

Clancy bead of a special committee of the Monroe County American' Legion, refused to give up the fight for location of the regional office here. He was spurred by the statement of Charles M. Sargent, manager of the regional office in Batavia, that a switch from the overcrowded facilities at Batavia was imperative within a short time. Sargent disclosed that one of thu pi-rosing problems of the re-irlonnl office was procenlng durational applications by vetcrann and getting checks to them in time to permit those now in schools to remain there. This congestion is well known to VA officials, the Legion and especially to school authorities who are moving through various means to keep the men in rotirsr they began after leaving military service.

State Aide Asks Use of Barracks In Housing Here Continued from Vngn Thirteen Stichman will recommend use of state funds to convert School 6 into apartments, and also for finishing the job at School 18, at the request of Mayor Dicker. 'Simply because Rochester got things started at School 18 before the state entered the picture is no reason why the city should be penalized for being astute," Stichman said. "I shall recommend that the state supply the funds to finish the job. The state official pointed out that regarding the demountable military barracks there will have to be an amendment to federal law to permit moving the barracks from Fort Niagara. "However," he said, "we expect no trouble along that line.

Nor do we anticipate any difficulty in finding the buildings suitable for moving, but should something develop we will find another solution, never fear." It is planned, Stichman said, that with the co-operation of local merchants a number of model apartments would be furnished and veterans could plan their houses and purchase their furniture on a budget basis.
