Graduation Sermon At 8;15 Tonight
Speaking on “Exporting Chris
^ “ — 1' o
tian Capital,” the Rev. Robert L.
Crandall, Rector of St. Peter’s
Episcopal Clinrcli, Charlotte, N.
C., will deliver the baccalaureate
sermon in the Chapel Sunday.
The main point of liis sermon
will be: “AVhile we are terribly
busy in sending our surplus
clothes and excess food to foreign
countries, 1 am afraid that we are
missing a wonderful opportunity
by not sending them manifesta
tions of our faith in Christianity
and our hope for a better world.
These intangible values are of far
more lasting worth and if we are
to have a better world, it will
have to be based on this. Let us
fulfill our obligation by sending
our material goods, but let us not
omit the hope—giving witness of
our faith.”

'’iWdi'%felt it at all. You

instead of being presented in the
usual French fashion with a kiss on
each cheek.”
In an informal interview Aliss
Jones related many interesting expe
riences she had working with people
who had truly felt the effects of the
war. Not only did she deal with
pathetic, conquered peoples, but also
with Nazi collaborators.
“Our work was in securing and
screening civilian personnel in and
about Paris to work for various
United States Army Installations.
We also had a good bit of work in
pay roll administration of thousands
of people whom we employed. In
connection with the pay roll work
we dealt with several offices of the
French Alinistry of Labor. Alany of
the people I personally employed
were laborers and artisans; sonie
were clerical workers and adminis
trators.
“The primary aim in our office
was to contribute to the efficient
working of the LMited States Army
units. Our secondary aim was to
distribute jobs in such a way as to
help deserving and loyal civilians.
“The last part of the time we did
more discharging than employing
because installations were closing up.
In that time, we tried, by shifting
people who had been the most help
ful, to keej) them employed as long
as possible.
“We started work less than three
weeks after the liberation of France
when some of the French govern
ment officers had not gotten back in
operation. At first, we had some
pretty warm times in dealing with
jiersonnel of the Resistance, some of
whom were true patriots and some
underworld opportunists.
“Later on as the armies pressed
forward into Germany, we had a
tremendous variety of personnel
from all over Europe, who had been
freed from German prison and work
camps, and had drifted to Paris be
cause they couldn’t get to their
homes.”
