Ordinarily the people of Sidon,
Syria, would have welcomed the
snow which fell upon it last win
ter — for it was Sidon's first
snowfall since 1920. But there
were in the tent-town outside
Sidon some 6,100 Palestinian
Arab refugees, and to them the
snow was a dreaded experience
which still haunts them. Tents
collapsed from the weight of the
snow, and at least one child was
frozen to death; all suffered from
exposure, lack of food and fuel.
The Red Cross and Church World
Service rushed food and supplies
to the area. Acccording to Mrs.
F. Lawrence White, the girls of
the Sidon Prsebyterian School have
bought material and made gar
ments for some 300 Of the re
fugee children. They spend many
hours knitting for them, and from
their own homes and from the
Red Cross they take them dry
milk, fruit, soap — even share
their own lunches.
"In view of the importance of
the week-day school — public or
private — in the life of American
youngsters, I am personlly in fa
vor of relating that institution in
some way to the fact of religious
Instruction," says Mrs. Mildred Mc
Afee Horton, noted church lead
er and former president Of Welles
ley College. "Separation of church
and state is a conviction held as
sacred by most Americans. Some
of us—including important legal
authorities—seem to think that
separation requires state schools
to ignore the fact of religion . . .
On the other hand, to some of us,
the protection of minorities or
anybody else from information lest
it influence their judgment seems
to be the ultimate stupidity in a
free democracy."

SECOND MHSMN, OTHER WITS
ALERTED FOR SERVICE IN KOREA
. .
Washington — The build-up of
fighting forces for the Korean
campaign began rolling faster
yesterday with announcement that
the Second Infantry Division and
other cambat units are being
readied to move to the Far East
in the "near future."
As of yesterday morning, alerts
to get ready for overseas had
been Issued to:
The second Infantry Division,
with headquarters at Fort L«ewis,

Antiaircraft units from the
Fourth Army headquarters at Fort

Francisco.
Units of unidentified nature
from the Second Army area, Balti
more, and the Third Army area,
Fort McPherson, near Atlanta.
The First Marine Division, with
its aviation outfit, is waiting to
sail from the West coast.
The Defense Department, for
reasons of military security, de
clined to say precisely where in
the Far Etest these units would
T
land after Balling from American
ports nor when they are scheduled
to reach their initial destinations.
However, there seemed some
reason to believe that the ttecond
Infantry Division might be des
tined for Japan ot replace the
24th Division.
Reports at the outset of fight
ing in Korea Indicated General
MacArtfcur had started sending
elements of the 24 th Division into
the battle area. When the shoot
ing started, Mac Arthur had four
divisions in Japan—the 24 th In
fantry. First Cavalry (now an in
fantry division which has been
used in general for occupation
constabulary duty,) the Seventh
and 25th Infantry Divisions.'
The total military strength, in
cluding the four combat divisions,
was about 123,500 men. An army
infantry division runs about 15,
000 men in peace time; about 18,
000 in wartime.
