A SENIOR CAMPER Camp To Have New Songbook Have you heard the latest? A Camp Nawakwa song book is on the way-in fact, it is in the hands of the printer. You will be amazed to find words and music for all those songs you sang this summer and the past twenty seasons-totaling at least one hundred. The section of folk songs and singing games is interesting be- cause every country is represented and directions will be included with the sing- ing games. Of course, you will sing the nonsense songs time and time again- The Bill- board Song, 'Tm a Nut, Mine Hand on Mineselff' etc. But to a Nawakwan, the inspirational songs will be valued most. ln addition to Nawakwa songs, negro spirituals and graces will be included. The most important feature of the book will be the empty staves following each section on which new songs can be added through the years. Down at the station early in the morning See the little puff-billies all in a row. See the little driver turn a little handle, Choo,--choo, puff, puff, off they go. Down at the swimmin' pool early in the morning - See the little campers all in a row. Hear the little leader blow a little whistle, Shiver,--shiver, splash,--splash, in they go.

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.
