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."

wood and on Wednesday afternoon
hc raked leaves in the yard. He

times by reading the papers. His
daughter, Mrs. Mary Marshek, lives

avenue, south in Mount Vernon.

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.

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.

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. Dr. Helser will tell
of the very unusual growth of this
work and its ministry to thousands
of real outcasts and with nothing
to brighten their present or future.
Dr. Helser ha~s had a wide min-
istry all over the continent sine,
his return from the field late last
year and is acclaimed one of the
most dynamic and forceful mission-
cry speakers of this day. Not only
ts he a missionary statesman but
the author of several books, the
most recent being "The Glory of
