The new faculty lodge to be known as The LaVene Grove Lodge will be in use by that time. Our Alumni Association is endeavoring to raise 35,000 to help with the cost oi this building. Will you as alumni members make yourself responsible to ask other members of our association and friends in your church or district if they wouldn't like to contribute to this good cause? No amount is too small! Some members are sending their tithe money for a month. some have had special otiferings taken in their churches and still others are having special programs to promote the work. Please send all contributions to our treasurer, Florence Reitz, .2018 .-Xllen St.. Allentown.

24 Camp N awa kwa N urse Milly Sails For India Miss Mildred Ernst, who was the nurse for the Second Senior Girls Camp and for Leadership Camp, will sail for India sometime in September. Mildred received her training at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, Wagiier College and Biblical Seminary in New York City. She was commissioned on May ll, 1948, in First Lutheran Church, Schenectady, N. Y. In India she will serve as a nurse. It was rumored about camp that some of the counselors had difficulty in keeping the girls away from the Red Cross cabin while Millie was occupying it. Many Nawakwans will miss Millie when they return to camp next summer but Nawak- wa's loss is India's gain. llrmfe you lzivunif rzlmul my 0f7l'l'lYfIlIH?i India Needs Literature While at camp this summer, Pastor Tiga spoke of. India's great need for American literature. In the seminary there aren't enough books for all of the students to study. Pastors who are serving in the Held need materials too. Used Sun- day School quarterlies and leaflets are needed. Also any copies of the Lutheran or other church publications can be used. Because Pastor Tiga's seminary is not directly afhliated with the United Lu- theran Church, it does not receive this literature. Some of the books that are in great de- mand at the seminary are: Explanation of The Augsburg Confession -Noldeg Christian Faith -Joseph Stump, The Book of Concord -Missouri Synod Pub- lishing I-Iouseg What Every Church Member Should Know , The Greek New Testament -Nestle Edition. This is a worthy project for any church group to adopt. Remember that the ma- terials need not be new. Material should be mailed to: Iaymasih lilo Phael Tiga, President of Lutheran Theological Sem- inary, Lohardage, Ranchi, Bihar, India. fI1III'0I'S Unafraid I will not be afraid, I will not be afraid.
