The %{-ton 1918 model GMC,' shown above, did a great job for the A.E.F. in World War I, as any veteran can testify. The big, modern 2}5-ton GMCs, shown " below, are playing an even more important part in World War II. They have three times the carrying capacity. They drive through six wheels instead of two. They are faster, more powerful, easier to steer. They pull through mud and sand, or over rough terrain, right along with tanks and half tracks.

Colorful costumes will rep- resent various nations and there will also be an American cowgirl number of unusual appeal In order to help promote coop- eration and understanding between the: church and labor, Boston churchmen and industrial leaders have organized the “Church and Labor Committee for Greater Bos- ton.” Officers of the Boston chap- ter of the Church league for In- dustrial Democracy was instrumen- tal in forming the committee. One of its major plans is to secure la- bor speakers for church meetings, and clergymen. to speak at labor gatherings. It is hoped that this type of committee be lished in some other American cities, for there is a feeling among church leaders that one of the weakest, links in American life is the tie-up between organized Chris- tianity and organized labor. can During the past 15 morths, me& American.

Van Kirk, of the Fed- ral Council of the Churches Christ in America, recently re- turned from a visit to England. The churches are united, he says, st, in a determination to win the present war; second, that the peace serms must not reflect any spirit of ruthlessness or hatred; third, that there must be a new and bet- ter future for all present colonies. Also, aecording to Dr. Van Kirk, the churches are agreed that “the ‘hurch’s distinctive task is that of evangelism, the strengthening of the bonds of Christian fellowship, and the ministry of reconciliation. They are agreed that the shape of things to come must be influenced by the Christian conception of the ilgnity of man as a child of God.
