Former Cornell Student Tells Of Air Raids on England Mrs. Esther Meier Reid, who liv- ed in the bombed area of London until Sept. 19, spoke to the Cornell student body during the regular morning chapel service Monday, and captivated their interest and respect as she told of her exper- Iences in warring England. Mrs. Reid, a member of the Cot- nell graduating class of 1926, is the wife of Lieut. George M. Reid, who is now in the British military service, presumably in Africa. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Delbert Meier of Monona. Mrs. Reid will be remembered by many local people. She roomed at the home of Mrs. J. F. Keve while a student at Cornell. She was honor- ed at a luncheon at the Baker House on Monday noon. "There ts no reason why the United States should have to enter this war," said Mrs. Reid in answer to a student question. "The Eng- lish army is idle now--the naval and air forces are doing the work. England doesn't want soldiers. She wants all the ammunition and planes that we can send." Even the wildest imagination cannot conceive of night after night of air raids, said Mrs. Reid. W~lth the barrage 18 miles away from her home, the house shook constantly. Gradually the rhythm of the ex- plosions would lull her to sleep. At times ,bombs fell all around her home and once she and her hus- band were called out of bed by a phone message saying a bomb had fallen into the backyard of his mother's residence. No one in England has gone hungry, according to Mrs. Reid, but the food Is carefully rationed. Each person is allowed 2 ounces of ~but- ter a week, 4 ounces of sugar, 2 ounces of cooking fat, and about 45 cents worth of meat. Liver, kid- neys, fish and some other products are not limited. Enough tea is al-I lowed so that each Englishman may have about 2 cups daily. Each little patch of ground has .been alloted for garden space, and i the vegetables grown there are well protected by law. Even the golf links are '.being converted into garden spots. All seem willing to conform to the government regulations, .Mrs. Reid stated. Their attitude is that "It's something you've got to see through, and we'll stick to the end." As Mrs. Reid concluded her thrilling address, the 600 students stood in salute to "a gallant lady." Wendell Willkle, Pres 30 ~WlW F.

Martin Zinkula Will Be 91 Years 01d On This Coming Sunday Martin Zinkula will pass his 91st birthday on Sunday, Nov. 10. He is enjoying unusually good health for a man of his years. This week he cut some tree limbs into fire wood and on Wednesday afternoon hc raked leaves in the yard. He enjoys doing work that is not too strenuous, and keeps up with the times by reading the papers. His daughter, Mrs. Mary Marshek, lives with him at his home, 316 First avenue, south in Mount Vernon. This year his birthday comes the day before St. Martins day, for which he was named. Povla Frijsh, Prima Donna, To Present Recital On Nov. 15 Povla Frljsh, distinguished Dan- ish prima donna will appear at the Cornell King ,Memorial chapel Fri- day, Nov. 15, at 8 p.m. as the fourth attraction on the Cornell lecture series. Nothing new can be said about the unique art of Mme, Frijsh. With natural vocal resources of singular limitations she surpasses most sing- ers who possess amplitude and sen- suousness but lack her projection of intellectual comprehension and brilliance of emotional insight. Without benefit of a voice that is beautiful as sheer voice, the Dan- ish soprano succeeds through a charming sensibility to style and mood and an incandescent person- ality that shines not only through her stage presence, but through thc use of her voice. Miss Frljsh, excellently aceom- panied at the piano by Celius Doughtery, offers a fascinating pro- gram In which lyric, dramatic and recitative style all are evidenced. One of the artist's best interpreta- tive mediums Is the French music in which the very dryness of her voice becomes an asset a~s she brings to it a timbre that is true to the language. Without the usual staid formality of a concert artist, Mine. Frijsh speaks tu her audience as though to intimate friends and makes a striking stage picture with her blonde beauty and the grace of one who knuws great achievement. To great musical talent, Povla Frljsh adds a glamorous personality and an intellectual quality which gives her every appearance consummate charm and color. Famous Scientist To Speak On C rnell .Lecture Series Nobel-prize winner Robert A. Millikan will lecture Monday eve- ning, Nov. 11, in the Cornell chapel at 8 o'clock, on the current concert- lecture series. His topic will be "Cosmic Rays and Disintegration." Dr, Millikan, famous for his deter- mination of the electric charge of the electron, is at present head of the California Institute of Technol- ogy. Although primarily a physicist, he is recognized the world over as one of the outstanding authorities on cosmic rays. Dr. Millikan has been ~ble to deduce the number of atoms in the gramatomlc weight of an element, accounting for the value that has been placed on his experiment. He has also been work- ing on cosmic rays and the myster- ious radiation coming from the outer space. The hobby of this 72-year old scientist is general philosophy and religion. He is a native of Illinois. Paving Work Here Depends On Weather Progress on the black top pav- Ing program in Mount Vernon is largely in the hands of the weather man. Hauling of rock to the streets to be surfaced was started on Monday on South Third street at its inter- section with First Avenue at the Mike Novak corner. Twelve trucks hauled all day and nine trucks hauled until four o'clock Tuesday morning when the quarry ran out of rock until more dyna- miting could be done. By Tuesday night the largest part of the rock had been placed on the southstde streets to be paved.Some more i rock will be hauled in after the first rock has been spread and packed. Rock has ~een hauled to Eighth avenue and is being spread. Trucks are not hauling this morning. Spreading is done with the large diesel caterpillar auto patrol units. Packing is done with a pneumatic packer, pulled by a smaller eater- )illar. The packer has four large meumatic tires in front and five in the rear. The load on it Is regu- lated by thc packing to be done. The street is sprinkled between tellings. When the rock is thoroughly packed, the streets will be ready for a prime coat of asphalt oil Which will be put on .by a street oiling machine. It is preferable that this ,be done on a sunshiny day although the oil is heated before being spread on the street. Traffic must be kept off the street for from 24 to 48 hours after the prime coat of oil is spread. The surfacing machine, which puts the asphalt coating on the street, is the last operation. Biology Class Visits State Hospital At Independence On Wednesday, Oct. 30, twenty biology students, accompanied by Dr. Brooks, took a trip to Inde- pendence to visit the mental sani- tarium there. Dr. Boody of the sanitarium, conducted the group of students through the institution and gave a lecture on mental diseases. Helen Langenbach and John Mac- Gregor furnished cars as means of transportation. MILK ORDINANCE GOES INTO EFF !,;l HF2 ON NOV. 16 Town Will H a v e Grade A Milk After That J. R. Jennings, of the state de- partment of health, Des Moines, wm~ a visitor in M~ount Vernon on Tuesday checking up on the local milk ordinance which will go into effect on Nov. 16, one year after it was adopted. Dairymen were giv- ~en a year to comply with Its rigid provisions. After Nov. 16th all distributors will need to put grade labels on their milk caps, Mr. Jennlngs said. Those who comply with the stand- ards set for grade A milk will use ,a grade A label. Those not meeting the standards will be required to use a grade B or C label. .Grade A milk will mean that the sanitary requirements of produc- they have not been complied with. grade B or C milk will mean that they hay enut been complied with. Grade B milk will be that which fails to keep within the limits of ,bacteria count, while Grade C milk will be that which does not comply with the sanitary requirements of production. Most dairymen are cooperating to furnish Mount Vernon with grade A milk, Mr. Jennings said. The ordinance adopted by Mount Vernon is one recommended by the state department of health and the IL S. public health service. SET FOUNDERS DAY AT CORNELL Tuesday, Nov. 19, has been set as the date of the first Cornell l~ounders and Builders day, a custom which is scheduled to be- come annual. Celebration will .be made during the regular morning chapel period, starting at 9:35 a.m. It will precede the annual fall trus- tees meeting, which is called for 10:15 that morning. W. R. Boyd of Cedar Rapids, a trustee of the college, will be the Founders and Builders day speak- er. The third Tuesday in November will always hereafter be observed in memory of the day in November. 1853, when Cornell for the first time opened its doors to a student body. Founders and Builders day will honor the founders of the college, the donors of gifts considered of such a character as to merit recog- nition, former students who have brought honor to the school through high achievement, and those whu have given distinctive service over long years of labor to the institution. Rites For E. E. Long Were Held Tuesday Burt Neal And Sons Enter Steers In International Show Six yearling steers from the Burr Neal and Sons herd of Shorthorns are entered In the baby ,beef section of the International livestock ex- position which will be held in Chi- cago from Nov. 30 tu Dec. 7. The steers are on feed at the Neal farm northwest of Mount Vernon. These steers will not be shown for competitive purposes but rather as the ones were shown last year, for demonstration purposes in con- nection with the line .breeding and inbreeding which has been fullowed on the Neal farm for nearly 30 years. The steers are sired by two different ',bulls on the Neal farm. Tbe .bulls and dams as well as their ancestors were all raised un the Neal farm. The steers are taken to the show to compare the line breeding with other breeding. The best cattle in the Neal herd are retained to carry on the ex- perimental breeding because that is the only way the herd can be Improved. Thus the ones picked to go to Chicago are not the best in the herd. The calves shown last year at the International placed 9th, 10th, and 13th in a strong class of 40 and when shown In a group uf three stood sixth although competing with 16 Agricultural schools and large farm corporations. The experiment of line breeding and inbreeding, which will be car- ried on for many years, has suc- ceeded beyond the fondest hopes of Mr. Neal. Gordon Neal will accompany the baby hooves to Chicago and Mr. Neal will probably go in for a day to observe the stock being shown and to compare them with the Neal cattle. Walter Novak Buys Ed.

"Knute Rockne", Strand, Men. F;a;;;t;d:Chu;;h T;: LISBON VOTE DOES Support Missionary ]NOT COME UP TO In Nigeria, Africa/THAT CAST IN 1936 I)R. ALBERT D. HELSER V*'iil Speak Ft4diay Eveni~g MISS HAZEL BELL Federated Chnrch Will Support Her In Ni~ria, West Afri(~ In a great forward step of the Federated Church members of the ~congregation voted to send and sup- port Miss Hazel Belt as their own Missionary in Nigeria, West Africa. Farewell service fur Miss Bell will be held on Friday evening, Nov. 8th at 7:30 p.m. Following the week of meetings with Rcv. Harold Street and Miss Bell, the Federated Church realiz- ed tts great responsibility and op- portunity of extending its possible parish from the few hundreds in and about Lisbon to the thousands of unreached and needy ones of Africa .by sending forth and sup- porting its own Missionary. The Farewell Service on Friday evening will have as its guest speaker, Albert D. Helser, Ph.D who has had almost two decades of experience as a missionary in Africa. For a number of years Dr. Helser has headed up a work among 300,- 000 lepers in Northern Nigeria, un- der the auspices of the Sudan In- terior Mission. This vast area, with a population of seven million pep- :pie, until recent years was closed to any missionary endeavor. The Nigerian Government refused to grant permission for missionary work because the population was almost entirely Mohammedan and they were afraid the Mohammedan rulers would resent the presence of Christians. However, the outstand- ing Mohammedan ruler of the district finally sought help from the Misston for the alleviation of leprosy among his subjects. Per- mission from the Nigerian Govern- ment followed shortly, since the Mohammedan ruler had requested that a missionary work be estab- lished. There are now five leper colonies in this district and are maintained with the help of the Nigerian Gov- ernment and the American Mtssion to the Lcpers.
