Junior C.I.T.
The Counselor-in-Training program for older highschool and college age young peo- ple, which was begun last summer, will be continued this year.
There will betwo distinct phases of this program. The first is one week of inten- sive training, June 17-23 at Camp Kosciusko. The sec- ond phase will be actual leadership in Junior Camps under the direction of a skilled adult counselor. We hope that this second phase will be available at both camps.
A part of each day will be spent in directed study of the philosophy and tech- niques of church camp coun- seling. Those who have com- pleted the junior year of high school, and older per- sons are eligible. Each Counselor-in-Training is asked to pay one-half of the regular fee. Either or both of the two phases of the program may be taken by the same individual.

PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN
By: Mrs. Heber Williams
Presbyterian women throughout the Synod of Indiana are urged to pro- mote immedi ate action toward bring- ing refugees into this country. Mrs. Willard Edmonson, Clayton, is the Synodi cal representative responsi - ble for this program. Assurances must be given by May of this year.
Special pamphlets are being pre- pared by the Board of Christian Education on education for peace. The increase in giving in womens' organizations will help underwrite this urgent program emphasis.
Mrs. J.R. Salsbury, who was a member of the Caribbean Fellowship Team, sponsored by the National Council of Presbyterian Women, testifies that Cuban Christians " live, witness and serve as though to guarantee their faith". Oppor- tunity giftsin the past have helped Presbyterian work in Cuba.

Assurance for Refugees Urgently Needed
Only sixmonths are left to secure as- surances for refugees who look to us, who count on us, whom we must in conscience help.
LAST

The Refugee Relief Act of 1953 expires December 31, 1956. No promise can be made that assurances arriving after June 1956 will be processed.
Refugees from " iron curtain coun- tries" are escaping to the free world at the rate of one every minute. America's churches asked for legislation making the refugee program possible; America's Chris- tian people must make it work.
The act allows a total of 209,000 refugees to enter the United States. Our total Presbyterian quota is 3000 cases. The quota for the Cen- tral Area, in which the Synod of Indiana is located, is 1500 cases. Our Synod quota is 120 assurances. A number of assurances have already been given by individuals and churches throughout the Synod.
Further information may be re- ceived from your local pastor.
Correction: The car presented by Mr. Horace Volz, of Madison, an - nounced in the February issue, is a 1956 model.
Rockville Church Remodeled
Extensive improvements were made in the basement of the Memorial Presbyterian Church, Rockville, where the Rev. Hugh Craven is pastor.
A new concrete footing was poured under the old walls of the 86 year old building. The floor of the sanctuary was reinforced. Several classrooms are also the result of the improvements. A new dining room and kitchen have been constructed.
At a dedication of this project, Dr. J. Harry Cotton of Wabash Col - lege, was guest minister.
Pension Board to Make Extra Grants in 1956
Retired ministers of the Presby- terian Church in the U.S.A. and their wives and widows will be paid $327,000.00 in extra grants this year, due to increased contributions to benevolences on the part of the church at large.
This announcement was made by the Board of Pensions of the church from its offices in the Witherspoon Building in Philadelphia.
Many individuals in Indiana will be recipients of these extra grants.

"Social Progress" is an Arm of the Church
" Social Progress", a monthly magazine published by the Board of Christian Education's Department of Social Education and Action, seeks to help keep the Church in formed and alert concerning social issues.
The issues to which General Assembly pronouncements are directed receive careful consideration in this publication.
The policy of the magazine is to attempt to give all sides of sensi- tive and controversial issues on which the Church has no declared position.
Designed to be read by leaders throughout the Church, " Social Progress" currently aims at pro- viding more and more study material emphasizing a particular theme in the work of the Department of Social Education and Action.
A subscription to this publication may be procured by writing to the Department of Social Education and Action, Witherspoon Building, Philadelphia 7, Pennsylvania.

Overture to Ordain Women Approved
The overture to ordain women to the ministry has received approval of 156 presbyteries of the Presby- terian Church in the U.S.A., it has been announced from the Office of the General Assembly. All seven of Indiana's Presbyteries voted ap- proval .
This gives the overture more than sufficient votes required for pass- age, and following enactment by the forthcoming General Assembly in Philadelphia, May 24-30, the over- ture will be incorporated in the constitution of the church.
Twenty-seven presbyteries have disapproved the overture. There are 257 presbyteries.
The overture to ordain women has twice been defeated, once in 1930, by a vote of 170 against, to 108 for, and seven no action; and again in 1947 by a vote of 128 to 100, and eight no action.

He isa graduate of Wabash College and Princeton Theological Seminary. He served the Rushville Church dur- ing the years 1923-1940.
Church Music Should Inspire
The quality of music in church should be above -- rather than below -- the cultural level of the congrega- tion, says Miss Joesphine Waddell, minister of music at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Lincoln, Nebraska.
She agrees with Joseph Clokey, author of In Every Corner Sing, that if the music seems over your head, then the best plan is to raise your head.
" And I believe that this is im- portant in more than music, " Miss Waddell says. "We should be sure that all our efforts and materials are of a quality which inspire a lifting of our heads. Less than the best of which we are capable is a sacrilege, " Miss Waddell con- cludes.

Bloomington Foundation Calls Director
The Rev. James Ollis, Jr., of Scran- ton, Pennsylvania, has accepted a call to become Director and Pastor of the Westminster Founda- tion at Indiana Uni- versity, Bloomington. Mr. Ollis, pastor of the Suburban Presby- terian Church, Scranton, is a grad- uate of Princeton Theological Seminary.
Mr. and Mrs. Ollis and their in- fant son expect to arrive in Bloom- ington about May 1. The Foundation program is continuing at the " Inn" until the new Student Center is built.
Mr. Ollis preached at the First Presbyterian Church, Bloomington, March 4, and met in the evening with Presbyterian students who joined the Foundation Board in enthusias- tically inviting Mr. Ollis to become Director. We are happy to welcome Jim and Ginny to Indiana!
RUSSELLVILLE INSTALLS CHIMES
The Russellville Church, of which the Rev. Richard Hudelson is pastor, installed an amplifying system operating manually or automatically.
Students Attend Worship at Purdue
Many students worship each Sunday at the University Presbyterian Church at Purdue. The new building is filled to the point of overflow- ing. Some students are seen entering as those who have just attended a moming service leave.
The ministers, the Rev. Richard Rasmusson and the Rev. Leigh Wright, move from one service into the others as rapidly as the transition can be made. For ten years now there have been three services each Sunday morning.
Each of Indiana Synod's 306 Churches Accept 1956 Benevolence Goal
For the first time since the church has adopted the Self-allocation bene- volence program, an ac- ceptance has been received from each of the 306 churches in the Synod of Indiana, giving the Synod a 100% record.
+
General Assembly accept- ances from these 306 churches total $634, 748. 92. In 1955 acceptances amounted to $526,064. 51. However, only 77% of Indiana' s churches accept- ed benevolence goals( as far as our Clearing House records show) in 1955. With 100% acceptances it is likely our 1956 pay-up will be approxi - mately the amount represented by the total acceptances.
The pay-up for 1955 amounted to $581, 156. 28, as against acceptances for the same period of $526,064.51. But because only 77% acceptances were received, the substantial in- crease of pay-up over acceptances is thus explained.
We may expect in 1956 an actual increase in General Assembly bene- volence giving in Indiana of about $53,500.00 over 1955.
Evangelism Has New Tools
All you Presbytery-Anns will want to get " Evangelism Through Friend- ship for Women", which is coming off the presses this month. It has been produced jointly by Presby- terian Women's Organization and the Division of Evangelism.
