Our Neighbors, The Chinese Elsie Machle White, B r-Wooster, member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, and widow of the famous World War I hero, Wilbert Wallace White, who was New York's leading ace and cohort of Eddie Rickenbacker, is the co-author of the latest non-fiction book on China, Our Neighbors, The Chinese. The book, written under the pseudonym "Vaughn White" is by two women, the other, Mrs. Josephine Budd Vaughn. Both women spent many years of their lives in China, and Mrs. White, the daughter of widely known medical missionary Dr. Edward C. Machle, was born in China. She graduated from Wooster College, Wooster, Ohio, in 1912, and later went back to take her Ph.B. Her experiences are as varied as the horizons. Her early education was in China, where she went through four classics, spoke five dialects. In traveling down the Pearl River with her father on one occasion she was nearly kidnapped by River Pirates. During those days of her childhood piracy flourished, because those were the days before the Republic. Once a year, Mrs. White's father would make a trip down the Pearl River to Canton. Usually he took a revolver along with him and also an American flag, which each morning was run up on the boat's mast where it flew until the anchor was cast at night. Occasionally Mrs. White's father would fire off the revolver at sunset, merely as a warning. One night after the party had gone to bed, a great commotion took place near the boat, and pirates came aboard. They pretended to be salt tax collectors, but they revealed their identity soon enough when poor boat people's goods were taken, and Mrs. White and her father were told they, too, would be dragged off unless they paid a ransom. Another group of river banditti appeared on the scene about that moment, and Dr. Machle found a means of playing one group of bandits against the other. He sensed that the leader of the first group boarding the boat was the stronger, and he offered him a sum of money, telling the pirate he was the king of pirates and would protect innocent people from the low fellows poaching on his preserves. The flattery, coupled with the money, worked a miracle. The pirate Dr. Machle backed won out in the skirmish, and pledged his word no other group would molest them throughout the journey. For years after that, Elsie White's father always found out the "big shot" on· the route of his journeys and sought him out beforehand, until the formation of the Chinese republic made it unnecessary. Mrs. White has experienced typhoons, on land, river and sea, and claims no sound-effects man in the movies can make one real enough to terrify her. Once she saw an entire fleet of river boats bum, when one caught fire during a typhoon, and since the boats were lashed together, the entire row, encouraged by violent winds was dissolved. The book, a result of the consolidation of the experiences of both Mrs. White and Mrs. Vaughn, is claimed by pre-vie_wers such. as missionaries. of various faiths who have spent years in China, and by experts on the subject of China and the Chinese, to be one of the most important commentaries ever written on the subject, especially insofar as psychology and philosophy of the Chinese are concerned. 18 Leaders of MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE Administration DEAN MILLICENT COX WOODWARD of the Women's.

Marian Selee Gives Concert in Times Hall December 20 Marian Selee, -Boston, gave a concert in Times Hall, New York City. Kappas will remember her best in the children's operas when she was on tour. Several years ago at the Cincinnati summer opera she gave her five hundredth performance of "Hansel and Gretel." A three year old son keeps Marian in New York these days but many other children who crowded her dressing room with grimy pieces of paper for her autograph are missing her. Her husband, who is also a singer, has just concluded four months with the Muni show "A Flag Is Born" and is now rehearsing for Marsha Hunt's new play. Marcia Hunt is the daughter of Minabel Morris Hunt (Mrs. Earl R.) M-Butler. Minabel is twice a Kappa for she was a member of Kappa Phi, the local at Denison University, which was granted a charter in 1929. One Crowded Hour "O;e Crowded Hour" is the story of love and comradeship in wartime, but it is only incidentally a war story. It is the story of a gay and passionately idealistic American boy who, better than most of his companions, knew why he was fighting. It is the story of an equally gay and idealistic girl who appre ciated the hazards faced by her lover and shared his dreams to the fullest. Ted Binder was one of the young American flyers who did not return from the war. The story is written by his wife, Jeane Patterson (Mrs. Carroll), X-Minnesota. Translation of Letter from the French Minister of National Education THE REPUBLIC OF FRANCE MINISTER OF NATIONAL EDUCATION Paris, the 20 Dec. 1946 The Minister To. the president: I have learned with greatest interest, that your very capable Federation, the beneficent activities of which have been carried on with such success in our devastated regions, proposes to assign to the Kappa Kappa Gamma Association certain sections of the Parisian suburbs in which the school population is particularly unfortunate. At your request, I have asked the municipal and school authorities of Issy les Moulineaux, Bas-Meudon, Bas-Sevres and Boulogne-Billancourt to make known to you what they have already done since the liberation and what still remains to do to relieve the misery of these unhappy communities. I take the liberty to send you this official letter asking you to convey it to the Kappa Kappa Gammas. No doubt they have been moved by the spectacle of so much distress and renewing their generous gesture of the preceding war, of which the present dispensary of the town of Meudon bears evidence, they now wish to help to repair the material, physical and moral ruins of the second world war. · . I would be obliged if you would transmit the expression of my profound gratitude and accept for yourself, Mr. President, the assurance of my grateful feeling and of my high esteem. M. E.

By June she expects to have obtained viewpoints from approximately 1400 students and professors. Many of her interviews are with magazine college board members-groups of coeds competing through reports to be sent to New York in June as editors of the "college edition," possible participants in the magazine's political forum which wi.l) be held this spring in New York with 45 college girls participating. 31 Canadian Bride of N orwegian Receives Layette SE of the most satisfying experiences is definitely the best-dressed little lady in Oof this whole layette effort has been Bergen these days.

Thus the "I would like to thank you for the lovely baby card would be not only a keepsake for the baby, but could be used later as its first lesson in English!! . There was a slight questioning in the minds of some as to the wisdom of including these cards in the layettes. Would it look as if we were asking for thanks? Would the Norwegian mother use it to "beg" for further contribu tions? However our desire to make our layettes a beginning of international friendship and our faith in the nobility of Norway's mothers, has been amply justified. We have had ten letters to date-each from a different section of Nor way-not one mother has asked for anything, but all have expressed their appreciation in the warmest terms.

You may deduct from your internal revenue tax 15 per cent of your ad justed gross income for gifts made to Kappa educational funds? Because of the income tax reduction on gifts you actually may receive credit for more than you give . ... For example: anyone having an income of $22,000 will have to pay taxes on the $2,000 over the $20,000 at the rate of 56 per cent, or $1,120. If the $2,000 were given away for tax exempt funds the $1,120 would be eliminated and the cost of the $2,000 gift would be only $880.
