Conference Missions Take Spotlight

Informal question-and-answer sessions will comprise tonight's Mis-sions week program, beginning at 6:45. This will be the fourth in the series of ten sessions, of missions emphasis, which began with yester-day's chapel service.

An over-all view of General conference mission work was the theme of the Rev. William Tapper's opening address. The same theme was carried through the second session when a panorama of the mis-sion fields was presented by slides.

Tonight three groups will meet tive of mission boards to the na-in separate rooms in the college tional government, giving a ser-building. Dr. David Ruppert will ies of addresses.

Bethel Sponsored Domke's Arrive

Next Thursday at noon there will be a groundbreaking ceremony for the building of the new wo-men's dormitory. President Lund-quist will start the excavations by digging the first shovelful.

There were eleven bids for the general contract ranging from $228,300 to $290,000. The bid went to the Baumeister Construction Company in St. Paul.

The other two bids, plumbing and heating, and electricity, went to Edward H. Roeske and the Com-monwealth Electric Company res-pectively.

Faculty Takes Methods Course

A course entitled "Effective Col-lege Teaching" is being presented this year to the college and sem-inary faculty by Dr. George Mc-Cune, professor of Social Studies and Higher Education at the Uni-versity of Minnesota.

Consisting of twelve joint ses-sions and six separate sessions of the faculty, the course will span the entire school year. The second joint session was held Thursday, October 25, in the fac-ulty lounge.

Dr. McCune is noted for his in-novations in teaching methods.

The purpose of these sessions is for the faculty to work co-opera-tively in developing new ideas in teaching, according to President Lundquist.

Library Trouble A practical use for Shakespeare

was found the other day by one anonymous student who, upon be-ing unable to study in the library, went up to the student librarian and quoted from "Romea and Jul-iet"—"More light you knaves; and turn the tables up, and quench the fire, the room is grown too hot."

He found it cool enough in the outdoor air.

The Commonwealth Electric Company has done work for Bethel at other times, but the other corn-panys are doing it for Bethel for the first time. The architects are E. D. Corwin and associates.

Band Presents Second Concert

Bethel's second in a series of convocations was a band concert held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Oct-ober 25, in the fieldhouse.

The concert, presented under the direction of Charles Erickson, included a variety of selections. On the classical side there were excerpts from the "Nutcracker Suite" by Tschaikovsky and Of-fenbach's "Gaite Parisienne." In contemporary music the band chose "Folk Song Suite" by R. Vaughn Williams. Several marches and a collection of well-known hymns were also included on the program.

The next convocation, planned for Tuesday, November 30, will be a concert by violinist Stephen Hero.

Mistaken identity can lead to some strange mixups. John Stahl, caught up in the hustle and bustle of homecoming preparation, found just how strange it can be.

The language clubs had their float all ready to go. John was sent for the car to pull it.

"The car has California license plates and a trailer hitch at the back," one of the fellows told him. "Here are the keys."

John hurried to the address giv-

Sponsored by Bethel college, Mrs. Olga Domke and family ar-rived in New York Wednesday from Germany. They were met at the St. Paul Union depot Friday at 7:40 a.m. by Mrs. Harry Howell and Elfriede Mohr, former resi-dents of Germany, and H. Wyman Malmsten.

Mrs. Domke, Erwin, 27, Erika, 2-1, and Lilli, 21, were members of Darmstadt Baptist church in cen-tral Germany.

A shower sponsored by the Ger-man club brought generous gifts of linens, canned goods, and cash amounting to $116.25 from fac-ult, staff, and students. Furniture has been contributed by the Bethel Women's federation, Bethel fac-ulty, and others interested.

The college has taken the res-ponsibility of securing jobs for the family. Erika and Lille have had office training.

The Domke's first American home is at Englewood and Snell-ing. Members of Central Baptist church volunteered help in fixing up the apartment before their ar-rival.

Campus Leaders Meet Sat.-Sun.

Approximately 30 students and faculty will be attending the Stu-dent Leadership retreat Lo be held November 3-4 at Camp St. Croix.

Attending the retreat will be six officers from the Student Sen-ate cabinet and two each from the four councils. There will be two representatives each from the Freshman and Sophomore classes, besides their class presidents. The Juniors will send two representa-tives and the Seniors one.

Two CLARION members, Al Glenn, 1955-1956 Student Senate president, and four members at large complete the representation of thirty members.

The purpose of the retreat can perhaps best be summed up in the three questions which the group will be studying. "What are we attempting to do in student acti-vities?" "How can we do it more effectively ?" and "Are our cam-pus activities Christ centered?"

The program will begin at 3 p.m. on Saturday and will con-tinue through Sunday afternoon.

en. There was the car with Calif-ornia plates. He checked for the trailer hitch. Yes, there it was.

He drove off. After the parade, he went to re-

turn the car. Only then did he dis-cover that he was driving the wrong one. He had made a mis-take and taken the neighbor's car. The mystery—why did the keys fit? Why was there a hitch attach-ed ? John decided that folks can get their own cars after this.

Missionaries from various fields and representing different types of work, are taking part in Mis-sions Week activities.

Among those representing Home missions will be the Rev. John

Debate Schedule Opens Next Week

The debate squad's first trip will take place on November 9-10, when four women's teams leave for Mankato State teacher's college to participate in the Min-nesota Women's tournament.

The eight who will represent Bethel at this contest are Betty Mattson, Marge Peterson, Lois Larson, Beverly Voldseth, Marilyn Hagstrom, Karen Christensen, Sharon Bergstrom and Lynn Wea-ver. The topic for debate this year is resolved: "That the Uni-ted States should discontinue dir-ect economic aid to foreign coun-tries."

Bergeson, missionary in the Platte Valley conference.

Dr. David Ruppert, M.D. from Ethiopia; Miss Shirley Anderson, missionary nurse from Mexico; Miss Elsie Funk, missionary nurse from Japan; and Dr. Laura Ed-wards, M.D., from Assam, all serve as medical missionaries on their various fields, and will be representing them here this week. Presenting foreign personal evan-gelism work are: the Rev. Paul Edwards, Assam; the Rev. George Johnson, Assam; Mr. Glen Swan-son, Japan; Mr. Ford Wilson, Mexico; the Rev. D. W. Calhoun, Ethiopia; the Rev. Andrew Nelson, Philippines; and Mr. and Mrs. David Clarke, Alaska.

Any of the above missionaries will be available for conferences throughout the week, making it easier for those interested to gain a first hand grasp of the scope of our mission program. Appoint-ments may be made through the Christian service office.

Spire Rated First Class

The 1956 Spire, edited by Mar-jory Peterson, was ranked first class by the Associated Collegiate Press in ratings recently received. This is the first time the yearbook has risen above second class since 1948.

The overall planning and com-pleteness of coverage of the book were underscored as its strong points. The Spire was judged in competition with yearbooks of other colleges Bethel's size.

Mr. Ross Howell, left, and Elfriede Mohr, both formerly of Ger-many, greet the Domke family, Erika, Mrs. Domke and Lilly, as they arrive in St. Paul under the sponsorship of Bethel. Mr. Irvin Domke is partially blocked from view by Miss Mohr.

Zeael to Editen

Library Revisited Dear Editor:

The other night I visited the library at Bethel. It was the first minute I had spent in the build-ing that day. I had just walked in and found a vacant seat when I noticed an old friend not six feet away. Of course I went to talk with her, renewing our acquain-tances. Briskly walking past me and nearly succeeding to knock me off my feet came the one known as "assistant librarian." By the look on my friend's face I con-cluded that this was the assistant's way of warning us to cease our whispering.

As a guest I felt highly insulted and sincerely hope that in the future more simple courtesy will be shown those who visit Bethel's library.

As if one insult for the day was not sufficient, not five minutes after the foregoing episode I was visited at my table by a Bethel friend, a very quiet one. To my ut-most horror this time the library worker came up to us and person-ally requested the two of us to cease our conversation immediate-ly. And WE WERE NOT DIS-TURBING. (When I saw the "worker" approaching us, frankly I was expecting an apology for the first insult.)

This actually happened to a guest visiting on the Bethel cam-pus, an alumnus, if you please! Having spent many hours in the bygone days at the library I know very well what is disturbing to a student and what isn't disturbing or distracting. Let's be sensible now—cats, dogs, goof-balls, noisy conversations always disturb, while quiet, casual, whispered talks disturb not at all.

This NONSENSE MUST NOT GO ON! What shall be done about it ? That is up to the library coun-cil.

"A word to the wise is suffic-ient thereof."

A guest at the Bethel library Ed. note—We agree—if the let-

ter says that quiet, casual, whis-pered talks are like snores, they only bothers others, not the of-fender.

Sign Letters! The CLARION policy regarding

publishing letters to the editer is that we will publish all letters which include the writer's name. Upon request of the writer, the name will not be published with the leter. We must know the author.

Gift-A-Meal Plan Nets $189,000

"Every penny counts," it is said, and the members of the Baptist General Conference of America are proving it. Each November, con-ference members are asked to give a coin to Bethel at each meal. In 20 years, over $189,000 have come to Bethel through this gift-a-meal effort, sponsored by the Board of Women's Work of the conference.

Four times the yearly offerings have exceeded $11,000. Nels Stjern-strom, Bethel's public relations director, believes offerings this year will surpass that of the past 20 years, if only because there are more churches and individuals be-longing to the conference than ever before.

Perceiving some certain signs of frustration among my fellow students, I hereby propose a ques-tion and answer column for the benefit of anyone who might need the advice.

Already I have received three pathetic requests which I here-with print together with my an-swers to them.

"Dear Sir: I am a freshman and I have a problem. One of my classes is so terribly dull that al-most every member is gently lull-ed to sleep by the end of the hour. The difficulty is that our profes-sor is not conscious how dull his lectures really are. How can I politely let him know it?—A Wor-ried Freshman."

Indeed you have a delicate sit-uation but the solution is really very simple. At the first gentle

City Youth Work Offers Opportunities

by Herb Schlossberg

Sometimes a search for areas of Christian service overlooks op-portunities near at hand. And Bethel Gospel Teams might well consider Twin City organizations. Two of these, Minneapolis Hi-C clubs and the Ober Boys club in St. Paul have especially express-ed their need for workers.

Counselors for every afternoon and Monday and Tuesday evenings can be used by the Minneapolis clubs established for winning high school young people for Christ. Qualified men for their newly or-ganized Hot Rod club and Sports club would also be appreciated re-ports Mr. Jerry Coffman, Hi-C director. Interested students may call him at Fe 9-8786 between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Although many Bethel students are already helping at the St. Paul Ober Boys club, they still need Sunday School workers, girls club counselors, men to supervise sports and handicrafts, game room super-visors, and general volunteer help. This organization, located in down-town St. Paul, is especially des-igned for underprivileged child-ren. Information may be received from Mr. Woody Larson at Ca 5-7093 anytime during the day or evening.

hint of a snore from a classmate, go into action. In sweet quiet tones start singing M-I-C. This will undoubtedly cause the profes-sor to stop and most of the stu-dents grab for their notebooks. Before anything can be said, con-tinue with K-E-Y. I am quite sure this will bring smiles to your whole class, which by now will be quite awake.

By the time you get to the M-O-U-S-E, the chances are that everyone will have joined in. This will serve as a subtle hint to make his lectures more interesting. It's unfortunate that you won't be around to enjoy them.

"Dear Sir: I am a sophomore who has been trying to date a senior girl for the past two and one half years. During that time I have asked her for 37 dates, but I have been refused every time. She has repeatedly told me that she has a steady boy friend, but I never believed her. Yesterday she came to school wearing an en-gagement ring. What should I do ?—A Discouraged Suitor."

Keep trying. She's only playing hard-to-get.

"Dear Sir: I am a freshman and have a lot of trouble with Bible Survey, but to add to that, I've been having trouble with my girl friend. She wants to kiss all the time. Every time I get with the crowd, I blush to think of how she carries on. What should I do ?"

What is her name?

Alumni Unwanted? Homecoming was a success this year (except for the game) in

that it accomplished what it intended. The Friday night program was entertaining, the faculty saved the pep-fast with their rare bicycle rid-ing skill, and the banquet was as good as any in the past years.

However, as the name implies, homecoming is for alumni as well as students. And, we feel, our planning didn't significantly include them. Our Friday night's program was geared for the students; why not a specific program for the grads also?

They are interested in seeing their old faculty favorites and their classmates. They would enjoy a program similar to Friday night's which would bring back their own memories of our school.

Instead, we reserve two tables in the dining hall for an alumni reunion Saturday noon. The banquet, as good as it was, obviously didn't appeal to many grads since even the elected officers of their associa-tion were not present. And why should they come? There was no re-union at the banquet tables. The alumni ate in little groups, just as they would at home. And the program was similar to their church services every Sunday.

Let's offer them something they can't get anywhere else — a chance to re-live their college days.

Prepare The Horse For Water by Bryan Harris

A recent article in the CLARION landed a well-placed blow in the middle of our behaviour patterns.

But why, I ask, should we focus our attention on spic and span manners only when celebrities are on campus?

Perhaps the best way to insure against embarrassment when guests are here is to begin practicing our manners when they are not here. For example, when classes are in session it's very annoying and distracting to have a group of kids gabbing outside the classroom door. Students' invasion of areas set aside for faculty members shows that we are either not thinking or sublimely ignorant. The hallways and stair cases in our college are not the widest, and making our way with the crowd is often bad enough, but when we have to push our way through unconcerned loiterers one wonders if students are aware that we have a student lounge. One other thing, and I will whisper it, for I know we are all guilty—class tardiness. It is really unfair to disturb a teacher in the middle of a lecture and disturb the other students, but it is done all the time.

It may be our small-college atmosphere that breeds so much fam-iliarity that our manners wane, but that does not excuse us. If we iron out our manners and behaviour while we are alone, then we will have no trouble when strangers visit us.

Thomas Carlyle once said, "The greatest of faults, I should say, is to be conscious of none." It is good to be aware of our faults, it is better to criticize them, but it is best to do something about them.

eadeted ?buy-Sea The Connecticut Daily Campus

reports this one: It seems there's been a boom in the sale of mus-tache wax lately. Since that item has not been overly popular since the days of Teddy Roosevelt, manu-facturers started checking back and traced the increased sales to the least expected place, the col-lege campus. America's clean-shaven college youth are now buy-

ing the product, but not for the purpose for which it was origin-ally intended. Undergraduates, after adopting the crew cut, could not make their hair bristle. Then, some wise fellow remembered great grandpa, and found that no-thing will stiffen a crewcut bet-ter than good, old-fashioned mus-tache wax. Result: New life for the maker of mustache wax. ACP

Vaweecame Viditata by Bryan Harris

The girls on the third floor are becoming more and more frus-trated each day. Throwing hungry boys out of their rooms and down the hall to the stairway gets to be a bit of a problem. The boys really don't mean to be a nuisance, but when there are no more stairs to line up on while waiting for dinner they have to go somewhere.

Now, this problem must be dealt with objectively. First a survey should be taken to see what Bethel's sex ratio (number of males per 100 females) is. If it is high we can understand why there are boys plauging the third floor. Just too many boys, that's all. But if the ratio is low, there is no excuse for it, for the boys could line up in front of the line and then only girls would be left on the third floor. This seems to me (a boy) to be the best plan.

Secondly, if the sex ratio is high, the girls could be first in line. This would mean that the boys on the third floor would have no girls to throw them out. The girls too would not be so frustrated. (I really don't like this solution.)

There is a third and very simple solution. Just open the roof of Bodien residence and add one or two more flights of stairs. The girls would then be safe from intruding boys. The trouble with this idea is that it is a bit expensive. However, if a committee were formed to collect 59 cents from all those using the stairway it would soon be paid for.

Now in order to pacify those irate students who are suffering un-der the present conditions, I propose that the administration grant 1/4 credit per quarter to be applied to physical education for all stu-dents who use the dining hall.

Well, I must hurry to lunch or I shall be late for my seventh hour class. See you later, cold potater.

Northland Spoils Royal Homecoming

by Dave Strand

The Royals dropped their home-coming tilt by the score of 35-6 to a strong Northland eleven Sat-urday October 20 at Hamline to dull the otherwise gay festivities.

The Lumberjacks took over from the first gun as they went ahead on their first offensive thrust and completely dominated the play.

Everything went poorly for the Royals as they couldn't pass, run, or even punt successfully. Their biggest gain was on a supposed punnt play when Erickson picked up a poor center and swept the left end for 25 yards.

Bethel picked up their only score when the referee ruled pass interference against the Lumber-jacks on their one. But it was the only thing the Royal fans had to cheer about all afternoon.

Six Seniors Play Last Game

Six seniors played their last game Saturday against the Worth-ington squad, four of them four year lettermen, one a three year letterman, and one out for his first year.

The Berg twins, John and Paul, and Ed Brunzell have been start-ers for four years, the Bergs in the line and Ed in the backfield. Dave Seaquist, the fourth four-year veteran (co-captain along with Paul Berg) played extensive-ly behind MacDonell last year at fullback.

The two other seniors, Howie Rekstad and Hank Pederson have helped this year's club in a basic way. Rekstad reported late but became the best pass receiving threat on the team as well as a giant on defense. Hank capably handled himself at guard and tackle, where he has played for his three years.

These boys will be difficult if not impossible to replace.

Volley Ball Draws Interest

by Staff Reporter

The 1956-57 intramural program got under way Monday, Oct. 22 as the eight teams played their first round of volleyball. The Counts, Dukes, Barons, and Jesters regis-tered wins in the first round.

Last night, the Jesters met the Knights, the Dukes played the Barons, the Counts took on the Squires, and the Peasants squared off with the Pages.

Although one of the games was forfeited, there seems to be in-creased interest in the program over past years.

Zikely Story It has been reported that Ed

Brunzell sold his Nash because of the inconvenience it caused him. He installed a carburetor that was guaranteed to save 20 percent on fuel. Then he put in special spark plugs that saved 20 percent, an intake superheater that also saved 20 percent, along with spec-ial rear axle and high pressure "cords" .. . all saving 20 percent.

With a fuel economy of 120 per cent, he had to stop every hundred miles and bail fuel out of the gas tank to keep it from running over, and the bother was just too much. ACP

Bethel dropped its sixth game in seven starts Saturday night as Worthington JC dumped them 28-0 at Worthington, in the Royal finale. It was a dismal finish for what had been hoped would be a successful year.

Worthington completely domin-ated play the first half and man-aged to contain the Royals throughout the remainder of the game. In the first half, Worthing-ton made nine first downs to one for Bethel; outrushed the visiters 194 yards to 9; outpassed them, 87-6, and outscored them with their first two touchdowns.

The statistics in the second half were quite another story. Bethel doubled JC's first down total 10-5, was about even on pass yardage 87-85, and rushed for 159 yards to Worthington's 148.

The passing game of Worthing-ton insured it it's success as they would either set up their scores with passes or use the threat ef-fectively. Their first three scores came on rushes of 27, 7 and 1 yard. Their last touchdown came on a blocked Bethel pass that was snatched by a Worthington line-man and run over for the score.

Bruce Erickson, running from the halfback spot was Bethel's outstanding back. He carried on Bethel's most effective play, a screen pass, and it worked almost every time. The Royals were with-in the fifteen yard stripe on three different occasions, but were un-able to cash in.

In the line, the Bergs, Wayne Carlson, and Rekstad played most consistently, while Rich Samuel-son looked good at defensive line-backer.

Dave's Strands A tribute to the men that made up our football squad this year is

in order at this point. The fellows were a real boost for our school throughout the year, win or lose. Their effort will not end now with the end of football, but will continue to be. The men under Lundin and Fredrickson put in hours of practice and collected numerous sore mus-cles. They say a race track driver is only as good as his pit crew, and Bethel's squad was, in a similar way, helped by our Doctor and nurse, Dr. Summerdorf and Marian Reimer, who kept the men patched up.

From the old timers around here comes the word that this year's intramural program is a big improvement over past year's program.

The first scheduled basketball game for our Royal team is Novem-ber 26, at Bemidji St. teachers. The first home game is with Sioux Falls on November 30.

Tervone, Brottlund Head Jr. Play Cast

Casting being completed, ap-proximately 25 students were pre-sent at initial rehearsals for the two junior class one-act plays dur-ing the last week.

Al Tervone will play the leading role of Cuthman in "Boy With a Cart." Other major parts will be played by Wendy Wickholm (his mother) and Howard Rekstad (Tawn). Marjory Peterson, Phy-llis Anderson, Paul Schlueter, and Joel Stolte form a chorus, the peo-ple of southern England, which also figures prominently in the play.

"Boy With a Cart" by Cristopher Fry is a religious play written in verse form. Student director is Betty Ohlin; r. Paul Grabill, as-sistant professor of English, will coach the speaking chorus.

,Sganarelle, the peasant doctor in Moliere's comedy, "Physician in Spite of Himself," will be play-ed by Roy Brottlund. Beverly Voldseth will act the part of Mar-tine, his wife, and Les Funk, that of Geronte, father of the patient. Others in the cast are Karen Christensen (Lucinde), Ken Fuller (Valere), Elizabeth Backlund (Jac-queline), and Dave Burkebile (Leandre). Betty Mattson is stu-dent director.

Dr. Richard Curtis, associate professor of speech, is faculty dir-ector for the plays. Both are scheduled for presentation Satur-day, December 1.

Choir To Get New Robes

A robe committee for the Bethel college choir, consisting of Hope Seffens, Lillian Boyer, Tom Young and John F. Anderson has been investigating available resources for the purchase of 45 new choir robes.

The cost of replacing the old robes, in use for the past nine years, will be approximately $800. Part of this amount will be met by selling the present robes. Choir members themselves have pledged

toward this project. The remaining amount is hoped to be raised by concerts in the area along with other donations.

to ask their "Lig Abners" in per-son while others will choose the easy way out and telephone. It's been rumored that several of the gals are planning to camp for the night outside the pay phone in the basement of Bodien.

The "captives" will receive "ap-propriate" corsages and be es-corted to the big evening, which will be highlighted by a program in the fieldhouse sponsored by the Sophomore class. Tickets for the program will cost $1.00 and can be purchased from Karen West-lund, Kay Kern, Donalynn Ander-son, Elfie Moor, and Lynn Wea-ver. Dave Shold, the Sophomore class vice-president is general chairman for the program.

After the program some cou-plDas will find the "Boulevard Twins" or "Charlie's Cafe Excep-tional" the ideal place to go, while others will end up at Totino's for pizza.

Fellas, you might think we're just dying for this opportunity. You're wrong; we're just glad this is a 'yearly' affair.

FMF Goal Includes Front Door Mission

"A mission field at our own front door." So spoke Ben Cord-ing, president of the Foreign Mis-sion fellowship, at the last meet-ing held October 18.

Ben was speaking of the nearly five hundred international stu-dents who are now attending the University of Minnesota. These are a select group whose impres-sions and opinions of our way of life may determine the destiny of mankind. Many of them hold high positions in education, commerce, and government in their respective nations. Giving Christ to these students may be the only answer to evangelizing some of the coun-tries now closed to the Gospel.

An international student dinner planned for November 10 in the Bethel dining hall, will acquaint Bethel students with foreign foods and foreign culture. In return, it will be our responsibility and pri-vilege to acquaint our visitors with Christianity, constantly keeping in mind that they think in a differ-ent language than we do. While here in America, the Hindu, the Moslem, and the Buddhist, away from their own social environ-ments, are eager to visit churches and study the Bible just to see what they are.

Prayerfully considering this op-portunity, we may present Christ to these students who will in turn present Christ to the nations of the world.

CASH AND CARRY

7rom Magaztfles 2-o Rolls by Karen Christensen

You would be surprised at some of the part-time jobs held by Bethel students. Take the brigade of 30 - 40 bus drivers for example.

After driving over 250 public and private school students to and from school every day, Delmar IntVeld thinks it's good to come back to the peace and quiet of Bethel. He takes students to Ramsey, Lexing-ton, and Edgerton schools, spending about five and one-half hours on the job and covering about 85 miles every day. With 72 squirming children in a bus, one would expect to run into discipline problems. Delmar has a sure solution though. "When they get too bad, they walk."

Nils Friberg and Carroll Erickson run into different problems. Among their passengers are found the blind, deaf, lame, and mentally retarded children. Some of these children must be carried on and off the bus, others must be strapped in their seats. Because their memor-ies are very short, the mentally retarded children pose special problems in discipline. Constantly reminded not to do something, they just as constantly forget the reminder. But Nils and Carroll, who have been driving buses for four years, find a special challenge in witnessing to these children about Christ.

Another job involving lots of driving is held by Jack Kibby. He is Youth director of Albert Lea Baptist church, Minn., over one hundred miles from the school. Every Friday night he drives down to lead his senior high Sunday school class and the junior and senior high young people's group. Sunday night he makes the long trip back to Bethel for another week of classes.

Perhaps the strangest job of all is held by Pete Larson. He ices rolls for the Dixie Cream Doughnut Co. At six o'clock on Saturday morning he goes to work, dipping racks of rolls, arranged tops down into four inch deep trays of powdered sugar icing. Some rolls are also given a coconut dip. In an hour and a half Pete will ice as many as 150 dozen rolls, not counting a mere 15 dozen doughnuts which he also ices.

Times have changed since men sold magazines from door to door to work their way through college. Today they laugh and say, "I'm driving and icing my way through!"
