By VERNON W. BECKER Throughout the Southern Union Con- Secretary of Education ference young people are in action. Their Southern Union Conference lively steps are in rhythm. They are marching to and from the schools operated by our churches. They are studying and working today, but they are thinking and planning for the future. What are these marching feet telling us? They are reminding us that this is only the beginning. The cadence and volume of their steps will increase. The vastness of their future undertakings will surprise us. The quality of their contri- butions will crowd out less important ac- tivities. When today's leaders can no longer maintain their pace, these youth will be ready to fill the gap. What these boys and girls learn and what they do with the training received will largely determine how soon our mission will be accomplished. The inevitable destiny of our work is in their hands. Today these marching feet need our guidance and encouragement, but tomor- row they will reach far beyond our ac- complishments of the past. We will meet these boys and girls com- ing up the ladder of life when we go down. They will become our conference presi- dents, our evangelists, our teachers, and our medical personnel. One never knows. We may be required to borrow money from one of them; one of them may save our life on the operating table; one of them may preach our funeral.

4 WASHINGTON, D. C. - - - For the second time in history a conscientious objector has received the nation's highest honor. The family of the late Corporal Thomas W. Bennett of Morgantown, West Virginia, received the Medal of Honor from President Nixon. The army medic was one of 21 service- men, all killed in Vietnam, posthumously honored. Army Pfc. Desmond Doss, an Adventist, was the first CO to receive the Medal of Honor.

estled in a lovely, verdant valley in northwest Georgia lies a school of God's planning built on the heroic sacrifices of God's people throughout Georgia and eastern Tennessee. Now beginning its sixth year of operation, Georgia-Cumberland Academy is getting ready for the best year yet. New faces and new programs are already being felt. Heading the list of new personnel is Mr. Jim Clizbe, principal, from Wisconsin Academy. His experience includes a year of church school teaching between his sophomore and junior years of undergraduate work at Andrews University; dean of men at Grand Ledge Academy (1965 68); and physical education instructor at Wisconsin Academy (1968-70). He holds a master's degree from Andrews University. Also joining the staff this year are: New principal of GCA is James Clizbe. Mrs. Clizbe will head the business education department. Elder and Mrs. Ted Graves from Mile High Academy in Their children are Robbi and Kari. Denver, Colorado. Elder Graves is well known to the members Mrs. James Temples will be the dean of Bids and in Georgia-Cumberland having formerly served as conference Mr. Temples will serve as maintenance super- MV secretary.

Vernon Academy in Ohio where she has been dean of girls for the past ten years. She will continue the same work at GCA, and Mr. Temples becomes maintenance supervisor. Mr. Paul Rouse is the new dean of boys and comes from Highland View Academy where he has been in similar work. Mr. and Mrs. Rouse have two children. Mrs. Ellen Clizbe, wife of the principal, has been asked to head the business education department. The Clizbes also have two children. Altogether these people represent nearly 70 years of service in the work of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. GEORG A CUMBERL

After a year of building and experimentation, the frozen bread-dough factory will be turning out at least 8,000 loaves a day by October, according to manager David Lee. This new industry, owned and operated by Seventh-day Adventist businessmen, promises to be a source of employment for as many as 24 students as the business develops. The possibility of a second campus industry is also being explored. A new campus industry, manufacture of frozen bread dough, will be managed by David Lee.

Currently entering its seventh year of operation, the student-manned Gordon County Fire Department continues to protect the lives and property of the county. This activity is restricted to juniors and seniors. Last year the firemen, under the direction of Ernie and Denny Connell, saved property valued at $635,100 in a total of 159 calls. At each fire a girls' auxiliary, led by Miss Joanne Klassen, served tired firemen with hot chocolate and cookies. The fall Week of Prayer will be held this year by Dr. Delmer Holbrook of the Home Study Institute. In the spring, Dr. Gordon M. Hyde, field secretary for the General Conference, will be in charge of this spiritual activity. Additional equipment has been purchased for the gymnasium, including an electric basketball scoreboard, parallel bars, horizontal bar, and a tape deck, turntable and Physical education additional speakers for the public address system, also new director, James Gard- ner, is showing the football field goal posts have been erected.

Additional work is being done to further improve the grass airstrip located near the river in the midst of the academy farm. Training this coming year will be primarily in the academy's own training plane, a red and white Cessna 120. Students will be able to obtain a private, commercial or flight instructor's license. Minimum cost for a private pilot's license runs about $370. Thus, bursting with new ideas, new programs and new personnel, Georgia-Cumberland Academy, in its lovely setting, awaits the coming school year. The watchword is "action," plenty of it. SOUTH C N

SHE DID IT!

11/1 rs. Edna McNeal, a member of the Memphis, Tennessee, church, undertook the gigantean task of sending forty children from the ghetto to the conference-sponsored Friend- ship Camp, July 11-18, at Booker T. Wash- ington State Park, Chattanooga, Tennessee. It was in the spring of 1969 while attend- ing a Dorcas Federation in Louisville, Ken- tucky, Mrs. McNeal heard an appeal by E. W. Moore, conference lay activities leader, for all societies to send underprivileged chil- dren to camp. Being impressed, she set her goal for forty. The local Dorcas leader felt chat the goal was too high. Her words were, "It couldn't be done." Mrs. McNeal accepted the challenge. For one year she collected cardboard and paper from various stores

Bass Memorial Academy is now in its tenth year of operation as a fully ac- credited senior academy. Spiraling infla- tion and tight operating budgets have made it difficult to provide funds for needed new equipment for the school. It was to meet this need that the Com- mittee of One Hundred for Bass Memorial Academy was formed. W. D. Wampler, conference president. initiated and pre- sented the plan at the camp meeting ses- sion in 1969. To become a member, one simply pledged to contribute $10 per month for twelve months for Bass Me- morial Academy. Response to the plan was most gratify- ing. Through the year, charter members of the committee contributed almost $10,000. The funds, disbursed by the BMA board, are specifically used for new equipment and capital improvements. None of the funds are used for general operating or to pay commercial accounts. In addition to the items pictured, the committee has provided funds for new equipment for the science department, new dormitory draperies, carpeting for the lobby, air conditioning units for the deans' apartments, gym suits for the tumbling team in the physical education depart- ment, English-Spanish books for use in building a Spanish classroom library, a supply of new tools and equipment for the industrial department, and new equipment for the maintenance department. The Committee of One Hundred is con- tinuing to function for a second year. There is perhaps no greater investment than in our youth, and the BMA Commit- tee of One Hundred has and is continuing to make a tremendous contribution to quality Christian education at BMA.

By VIRGIL K. LEWIS Director of Public Relations

Of the many medical institutions operated by Seventh-day Adventists throughout the United States, Madison Hospital is the only one which has an active School of Anesthesia. Bernard V. Bowen, C.R.N.A., B.S., has been the director of the school since 1950. Fully accredited, it is a member of the Ameri- can Association of Nurse Anesthetists and is ap- proved by the Veterans Administration for G.I. training. Twelve students are accepted each year. To qualify they must have a degree from an accredited high school and have at least an associate of nurs- ing degree. In addition each student is required Mr. Bernard Bowen, CRNA, director of the Madison Hospital School to have an additional year in the operating room, of Anesthesia, teaches a class in spinal anesthesia to students— Lynn Jones, Bob Jenkins, Jimmy Crosby, Patty Cornwell, Mrs. Mar- recovery room, or in the intensive care unit.

Classes accommodating three students begin every three months and last for twenty-one months with a four-week vacation or sick leave. Each student is given a $75 stipend per month. It's estimated that he can pay his own way if he will concurrently work two shifts a week as a nurse. Mr. Bowen, chief anesthetist, received his nurse's training at Paradise Valley Hospital at National City, California. He attended the Nor- wegian American Hospital School of Anesthetists in 1948, and received his B.S. from Madison in 1956. There are three other full-time instructors in the Anesthesia Department and several part-time John Spruill, Mrs. Betty Matthews, and Bereket Michaels listen workers who give individual attention to the stu- intently as Mr. Bernard Bowen, instructor, explains a defibrillator. dent's training.

23 LOMA LINDA, CALIFORNIA — Loma Linda Foods began as a small supply department of the then Loma Linda Sanitarium in the early 1900's. In 1938 its operation was taken over by the Pacific Union Conference when its main plant and headquarter offices were con- structed in Riverside, California. Since then the company has grown to a multi-million dollar organization with a manufacturing facility in the East and sales offices in principle cities throughout the United States and Can- ada. It was only logical that, due to its vast operation, the company should ex- pand its denominational operation and become an institution under the opera- tion and control of the General Confer- ence as of July 1, 1970. With the crea- tion last year of a World Foods Service Department of the General Conference under the leadership of E. W. Howse, this new method of operation of the company seemed most logical. Elder Howse coordinates the work of the de- nomination's food plants around the world. A new Board has been formed with R. R. Bietz, seated third from right, as chairman. Serving with him will be various officers of the General Confer- ence, administrators of some of the un- ion conferences, executives of Loma Linda Foods, laymen and representa- tives from Loma Linda University.
