PAGE POUR HE WAtEFTEOJ NEWS, WAKEFIELD, MICHIGAN FRIDAY, JUHE 17, Picked Up Here and There he said, "graduates are drugs on the market and don't let anyone try to convince you otherwise." The Rev. and Mrs. Melvhi Lofgren are spending a vacation at the home of Mrs. Lofgren's parents, Mr. and Mrs.

Victor Hanson. While a vacation from their duties as church workers at Rock Island, the newly ordained pastor and his wife are not idle. Early in the fall they will leave for the foreign missionary field of the Lutheran church, and will be located at the Tanganyika territory on the east coast of Africa. The young people have agreed to remain at the Augustana Lutheran Mission for four years. In their preparation for this of service, supplies, clothing and bedding must be provided.

Even layettes for any increase in the family circle during their absence from the United States are included in the lengthy list of supplies. We will not begin to enumerate what is needed but nearly 400 separate items are listed in the inventory which must be provided the young missionaries. The list includes household furnishings, office supplies, bedding, linens, kitchen utensils, camping equipment, hardware, and medical supplies. Much of the material will be provided by the missionary service" of the church, but personal clothing, medicines, baby clothes and toilet supplies must come largely froin, from friends of the families and church circles. In preparation for their Me in Africa the newly pledged missionaries will undergo all the known innocula- tions for tropical dieases.

The vacation for the young people will be a busy one as they prepare themselves for the sacrifice, friends and the comforts of American life for the xmcertainties and hazards of four years of Christian endeavor among the native Africans. rr A If you are planning -a vacation next winter, choose a sea trip from Orleans to Havana, to Honduras, in Central America, and back to New Orleans. That's Dave Cavan's advice to the Rotarians, who recently enjoyed his personalized account of Mr. and Mrs; Cavan's winter tour on a fruit steamship line in the Carribean sea. The cost Ask" Dave.

You'll be surprised, how much rest, pleasure, good eating, a few hundred dollars will' bring -you. C. W. Bemer, formerly school superintendent here, and now head of the schools at Muskegon, told the Iron Mountain high school graduates at their commencement exercises that he disagreed speakers who told graduates the "town and country has been waiting for them." Rather, Getting back to Wakefield's commencement program, it has been called to our attention that the local schools programs never include an invocation or a benediction. Curiosity impelled us to seek further and looking over newspaper exchanges from all sections of the state, we were a bit surprised to find that every commencement program.

published gave place for an opening prayer and benediction. Inquiring as to reason the local programs have always omitted them, we were told that Wakefield commencement programs for years before the present school officials appeared, no recognition of the Christian faith was included in the program. The reason for the omission was obscure. It was pointed out, however, that it has been only in comparative recent years that a baccalaureate service on the Sunday preceding the commencement was made a part of the graduation program. The oversight in preparation of the commencement programs cannot be laid to our present school heads.

Graduation programs here for at least the past 15 years have followed the same pattern. Substitute changes in the graduating class, program names arid speakers and in the faculty list, they have been similar in form and content. Maybe it-is time for a change. The least that could be done is to give recognition to the Christian faith at these programs. In the final analysis where would free education and public school opportunities stand today were it not for the humble be- ginning of Christanity 1900 years ago? to the graduates: "Don't forget the peacock of today is the feather duster of tomorrow." 'A "Whatchagotina packidge?" "Saboofc." "Sadicksunery.
