Part of Lieutenant General
Mark W. Clark’s Fifth Army
and a unit of the 34th “Red Bull
Division, the 168th arrived in the
British Isles in February and m
April of 1943. In its two and a
half years overseas it has fought
through 88 days of combat in the
Tunisian campaign and has been
on the line in Italy almost con
stantly since landing at Paestum
September 21, 1943t 12 days al
ter Continental Europe was in

Known as the “Rainbow Regi
ment, the 168th was part of the
42nd “Rainbow'" Division in
World War I.

mander of the 168th Regiment.

te'ur, Eddiekhila and Bizerte.
Its first great battle in this
campaign began October 13, 1943
when its men crossed the Vol
turno and took Ciaazzo and two
other towns. Ironically, the 168h
suffered exactly 168 casualties
in the second crossing of the
Volturno.
Often meeting foes of the past
including the Hermann Goering
Division and SS troops, the 168th
fought through the mountains,
gaining ground north of San An
gelo and San Vittore. They lost
400 men and inflicted 1200 ene
my casualties in wresting Mount
Pantana, before Cassino, from the
enemy in a seven-day battle. It

Mr. Dillard expressed the be
lief that “an intensive campaign
in North Carolina will prove
very helpful not only in giving
the people of this state an oppor
tunity to vote fdr convictions in
stead of seeming expediency, but
also to assure capture of the
electoral vote for the Dewey
Bricker ticket in such pivotal
states, for instance, as Pennsyl
vania, New York and West Vir
ginia, thus assuring a larger ma
jority for the Constitutional
Government ticket in the elector
al college and the popular voting.
Already the North Carolina cam
paign is having a definitely help
ful effect in such states. Upon
completion of enlargement of
the State Executive Committee
the personnel of this Committee
will be announced. Included will
be men and women “represent
ing every phase of worthy citi
zenship, in all occupations and
interests, in North Carolina" ac
cording to the statement made
tiblic.
“We have no quarrel with or
iticism of the State Democrat
ic ticket,” said Mr. Dillard; “in
fact it is our definite intention
to support it in the forthcoming
election. We do earnestly and
sincerely appeal to all our citi
zens to join us in this conscience
based and spontaneous movement
to defeat the forces arrayed
against the best interests of our
communities, our state and our
nation.
“In short, we appeal for the
whole-hearted and practical sup
port of all who favor constitu
tional government as opposed to
the group government from which
180,000,000 Americans now suf
fer so severely. The recently
published Democratic Declara
tion of Independence fofms a
safe foundation on which to car
ry forward successfully this
mighty movement.”
NEWS IN THE WORLD
OF RELIGION
By W. W. REID
“Father, Thy Will be done
through me” This seven-word
prayer, offered morning, noon,
and night; an effort to try to
live the prayer in daily life; and
the securing of seven other peo
ple to do likewise; this is the es
sence of the so-called “Cape Cod
Plan” of personal evangelism
which has found wide support
among Protestant laymen and
has the approval of leading
Protestant clergymen througrout
the country. The “Plan” origin
ated a couple of years ago with
Walter Dwyer, a layman of W.
Dennis, Mass. Without any funds
or any organization, the idea has
swept across the country, and
has had the support of many
newspapers. Now it has been tak
en up by lay groups in Canada;
and groups of Catholics and Jews
are using it also. “The prayer is
'■ offered as a complete pro
£ • says Mr. Dwyer, “but
iiovely in the nature of turning
on the switch of our Individual
radios; how We amplify it, and
What God’s will is for each of us
is a mattter of personal search
and application.”
The hobby of Dillman S. Bul
lock, as a shtall boy in rural
M i c h i g an, was collecting
birds, birds’ nests, birds’
eggs, and many insects—much to
the disarray of his home and the
annoyance of other members of
the family. Today, as Dr. Bullock
president of the Institute El Ver
gel, in Angol, Chile, for the train
ing of Christian farmers under
the mission of the Methodist
Church, he is still the tireless
“collector”. The Institute’s Muse
um houses the most interesting
collection of items of pre-Ara
ucanan civilization in all that
part of Chile, besides specimens
of 176 birds (96 of which were
found on the farm), and a col
lection of insects that has the
praise of representatives of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
Dr. Bullock’s discoveries of the
habits and controls of insect
pests have had great value to
farmers of both the southern
and northern American contin
ents. '
Believing that on the day peace
is declared the churches should
pkovit|e suitable servii|-s of
worship, penitence, thanksgiving,
and dedication in every commu
nity, the Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ in America is
urging now that church people
prepare for V-Day. Through min
Utarlal association* And local
council of churches in each com
ntuhity and by union groups in
the villages, they hope to see that
the celebration are filling and re
ligious in character. Dr. Jesse M.
Bader, 297 Fourth Ave., New
York 10, N. Y., is in charge for
the Federal Council.
