Efforts Made
Fo Keep Door
To China Open
A recent report from the United
Service to China offered to the
people giving gifts for the aid of
the Chinese three sources of in
information concerning the use of
their monev.
Governcr Paul V. McNutt re
,its that this is a time of crisis.
fle said, “For more than a hundred
years the Jdoor of China ha been
open. For the past decade your
personal efforts have kept it open.
Through this door all of us Ameri
cans have received priceless con
tributions from a great Eastern
culture and have given American
knowledge, money and finally
Amarican lives to help our Chinese
allies,
“Now the door is closing. Our
investment in the friendship of a
great nation is threatened. It is
urgent that individual Americans
you and I—act at once to save the
wark for which we have already
given so much
“Here are some ways in which
we can help:
“We can continue to support the
13 American universities in China
which over the years have grad
uated the educators, doctors, pas
tors, nurses, social workers, and
businessmen who have worked so
devotedly with us. Today 225
American professors and 660 Chin
ese teachers are training 12,000
students (out of the 50,000 who
sought admission to these universi
ties in 1048)."
Other work suggested by Gov
ernor McNutt included hospitals,
orphanages, and social aid.
He stated that a minimum of
$1,500,000 is necessary to merely
keep the doors in China open. |
Dwight W, Edwards, Vice Presi- {
dent and Director of the China
program, stated that the Ameri
can-Chinese friendship, the very
basis qf the relationship of the two
countriee, is being undermined in
accordance with the international
communist policy.
He continued, “USC’s program
integrates around those who are
laboring for medical, educational,
social, and child welfare progress
in China. It is not doing the job
itself, it is helping those who are
doing it.”
Christian Colleges Carry On
The news letter from China em
phasized the importance of the
work being done by the Christian
Colleges of China. Eight of them
are still earrying on in Commun
ist-controlled territory.
Also included in the bulletin
were letters of thanks to the
American donors to China.

Mrs. Malone locked all the
doors in the rear of the Dude
Hamburger Ranch, and carrying
her suitrases and her winter coat,
entered the bar for a last look
around.
The wall-clock above the counter
said noon. The Los Angeles bus
would be along in 20 minutes and
would stop for her if she signaled.
She made certain that the hot
plates and grills were properly
greased to withstand the months
0. disuse ahead. She tested the
locks on the cupboards and cabi
nets where the tableware and
china were stored. Then she clos
ed and barred the shutters, and
went outside to wait. |
It was a brilliant, ciear day in
mid-September. The desert no
longer shimmied in the full sum
mer heat, and the straight ribbon
of road had lost its tar-pit look
and was hard and the blue under
the cloudless ski.
Mrs. Malone was thirking. She
had had a good season. Thousands \
o' tourists, Lo. Angeles bound,
had been attracted by the log
cabin, the shady porch, the clean
restlrooms, and had stopped for
scdas, hamburgers, coffee, candy
bars and cigarets.
She watched the horizon for the
bus and mentally recounted her
profits, Plenty, she figured to pay
her share at her sister's for the
winter.
A few cars passed, but for the
most part it was very quiet, the
wonderful quiet of the Mojave
which takes hold of one like
strange music. No matter how
many people poured across it, the
diesert remained untouched, pris
tine.
Mrs. Malone loved and fearedl
the silence. It healed her jangled
nerves but deepened her loneli-l
ness. Her widow-ioneliness. Only
by keeping busy could she forget}
for even a moment the loss of
Fer husband Joe. Wonderful, kind,
lovable Joe.
She opened her purse to get her
handkerchief, but when she iook- |
ed up she saw somethinx that
dried the filmn of tears. At first
she thought it must be a moving
and-storage van or perhaps a
truck towing some kind of a house.
Gleaming silver white in the sun,
it approached from. the west. . ~ .
'l‘gil thing, whatever it was,
now took on the appearance of an
armored fortress. It approached
swiftly ‘and smoothly until Mrs,
Malone was able to identify it as
an enormous trailer pulled by a
truck. A smaller trailer drawn by
a car followed close behind. The
“thing” had a tall, cleaving prow,
like a ship. It seemed to be made
entirely of chromium and was
streamlined from bow to stern. ..
a great boat-shaped cradle on
wheels, glittering so that it hurt
the eyes.
The whole caravan slowed up
as it approached the log cabin,
and directly in front of Mrs. Ml-;
lone the driver of the leading
truck brought the contraption to
a stop.
“Hi, there,” he called, leaning
out of his cab, “is this # bus sta
tion?”
She said yes, it was, and that
the Los Angeles bus was due any
minute.
“Okfly."
* - -
The driver dismounted. He was
tall, black-haired, and in his late
forties. A handsom: fellow, Mrs,
Malone thought, but some how
unpleasant. Also his face seemed
vaguely familiar. ,
gjick, catlike he walked back
along the trailer and opened ga.
door in its side. As he did so, steps
reached out, unfolded, Ileaned
down and touched the pavement.
A young woman emerged from the
interior of the great silver ark
and hurried down the steps. Some- |
one behind her handed out a suit
case and a patent leather hat-box. |
Silently the steps retracted. The
door closed.
The young woman was pretty,
in a faded-blonde way, but her
aynressinn was gn snvious 0
troubled, that she looked older
than she probably was. The uni
formed driver took the luggage
and followed her as she hurried
toward Mrs. Malone.
~ “Do you know when the next
iLoa Angeles bus will come?” she
}asked breathlassly.
~ “In about five minutes,” Mrs.
'Malone said.
~ “Thank goodness! O, thank
goodness!”
' “I'll wait,” the driver said, put
ting the luggage down, “and make
sure you get aboard.”
“No. Please. I'll be all right
This lady here is all the company
I need. You go right ahead.”
“Mrs. Everson said to wait,” the
driver insisted. He sat on the
cabin steps and lighted a cigaret.

Reports Made
To Lions _On
World Meet
Delegates to the Lions Interna
tional Convention, which met in
Madison Square Garden last week,
made a report to the local Lions
Club at their weekly luncheon
meeting at the Georgian Hotel
yesterday.
-~ Delegates attending the Conven
tion were Al Bush, Hubert Bell,
and President J. W. Matthews.
Mr. Bell and President Matthews
made the reports to the club.
Mr. Bell confirmed to the mem
bers of the club the statement that
the convention was the greatest
ever held.
He told the club the outstand
ing statement of the addresses
heard by the assembled Lions in
New York City.
The statement was made by
Governor Thomas E. Dewey of
New York State. Mr. Dewey de
scribed the Lions as “an unusual
gathering in these troubled times
in that after the members argued
over and passed a resolution there
would be no veto.”
A point of interest to all was
the description of the general pa
rade through the down town sec
tion of New York.
Mr. Bell regretted that only
about thirty Georgians were in the
parade, but internationally speak
ing the parade was the largest
parade ever held. Over fifty bands
marched in the parade,
President Matthews expressed
his pleasure at the ovation receiv
ed by the Augusta Academy Blind
Choir. The choir sang to packed
houses.
The choir was taken to the con
vention by the Georgia Lions.
Sight conservation is a Georgia
Lions’ project.
Mr, Matthews was expansive in
his praise of Madison Square Gar
den. The entire thing, he reported
is air conditioned.
The convention was entertained
by Fred Waring, Guy Lombardo,
John Brownlee, Metropolitan Op
era star ,and a band of fifty little
indians {who turned oul o be &
Colorado scout troop).
~ Mr. Matthews in closing the re
port expressed his pleasure in the
‘Liona activities and his pride that
on leaving New York, the chief of
police described them as “the most
lorderly convention of its size ever
to meet here.”
