Following the dinner, Mrs. John Kelly introduced the guest speaker for the evening, Dr. Sam Walker. Dr. Walker, a general and thoracic surgeon from Asheville, was a volun teer physician for 2 months in South Vietnam. Although the State Department paid for his travel. Dr. Walter received no pay for his work. He was commended by both the AMA and the U. S. State Department for his work in Vietnam. With the use of slides and with his delightful manner. Dr. Walker was able to give those attending an understand able, first-hand look at Viet nam, its people and its prob lems. Dr. Walker conveyed the exceptional need for doc tors in South Vietnam. The entire country has only 500 native doctors to minister to its civilians that are being, unlike in most wars, injured at a very high rate. Dr. Wal ker estimated that for every soldier injured, 10 civilians are injured. Besides depressing medical facts, Dr. Walker pointed out and demonstrated with slides, the beauty of South Vietnam and the grace of its people. Some of the slides showed fa miliar items and scenes -- VW’s, Esso, Shell, children full of smiles, all which seemed to make Vietnam less of a strange and far-off country. After the talk, Dr. Walker answered questions. The main concern brought out in the ques tions was when Dr. Walker thought the war would end and when the U S. fv*,rtd y$«idrew, Dr. Walker saw no solution in the near future, but felt that the U. S. was needed to stop Chinese agression. ’America will do what is has to do’. Mrs. Mary Stevens, past president, presented Dr. Wal ker a gift from the Woman’s Club. The meeting ended with the Installation of the club’s new officers. Mrs. Robert David son expressed her pleasure as the Installation Officer.

The following are the new officers; Mrs. William Venable, President; Mrs. Ro ger Stuck, 1st. Vice Pres,; Mrs. Friends Of Library To Hear Dr. Stewart That God has no place in human behavior patterns is some of present-day thinking about which Christians need to be seriously concerned. This concern and similar problems will be discussed by Dr. James A. Stewart on Monday, April 14th, at 8:00 p.m. when he speaks to the Friends of the Library in Black Mountain about “Rev olution in Philosophy.” Philosophical ideas usually take about 25 years to reach t the man on the street, the person in business and even the normal church-goer. In our present day we are now beginning to experience radi cal changes in thinking about standards of right and wrong as well as how to arrive at truth about life itself. These changes represent serious im plication for Christian be lievers. This “revolution” is part of what lies behind student rebellions and challen ges to accepted patterns of thought, ethics, and behavior. These challenges areaproblem which the Christian Church must face in today’s world. Dr. Stewart, a resident of Black Mountain, will deal with these challenges and problems in his talk. As Professor of Philosophy at Asheville - Biltmore College, Dr. Stewart is a competent thinker and speaker. He was born in Bel fast, Northern Ireland, and came to the United States in 1927. He received his early education at Municipal College of Technology in Belfast, at Missionary Training College and King’s College, London. Also, he attended the Irish Bap tist Theological College in Dub lin, the Eastern University, and the New Orleans Baptist Theo logical Seminary. Prior to his coming to Ashe ville, he was Professor Theology at International Col lege in Cristo, Cubajhe held pastorates in Oklahoma Miss issippi, Kentucky, and Florida. At Stetson University, Deland, Florida, he was Professor of Philosophy and Dean of the Chapel as well as Visiting Lec turer in Philosophy of Law at the Stetson College of Law.
