The BIGGEST NEWS IN YEARS was announced recently when Mr. HerbertW. Armstrong made the rumors solid fact by stating a new Ambassador Co llegewould be operating next Fall! With the surging growth of God's world-wide Workin all fields , it was a terrible disappoint­ment to have '; 0 select only ON E OUTOF FOUR of the applications for entryto the College th is year.

AMBASSADOR COLLEGEBIG SANDY, TEXAS

The lack of space was the big prob­lem. With Ambassador in Pasadena al­ready literally forced out of doors forassemblies and forums, having to leaseoff-campus buildings for storage, pr intshops and commi ssar y department, itbecame evident the proportion of appli­cants would be even less next year .

But NOT NOW!

A NEW COLLEGE is rapidly shapingup, in plans under study by many de­partments. Mr. Ted Armstrong, accorn-

The Chicago church has, in timespast, blessed out-lying areas by sendingout spiritually strong and competentmembers to serve as pillars among newmembers. In similar manner , the SouthBend church has blessed the Ind ianapolisand Toledo areas by losing zealous mem­bers to each are a to be the pillars ofthese new congregations.

We miss the smiling faces of thosewho left us, but are thankful they ha vea church nearby and need not travel sofar to South Bend from their homes, andthat they can have a part in the foun ­dation of these new churches.

"Blooming Bloomington"Our Bloom ington frie nds have recently

severed relations or at least stopped shar­ing a minister with the St. Loui s Church,and are once more affi liated with us herein the Chicago area.

Mr. John Bald, ordai ned Local Elderon June 9, 1962, has now assumed thedut ies as Associate Pastor-in-ch arge ofthe Bloom ington area. He has taken overfor Mr. Hal Baird, who is thu s free tohead the new Harrisburg , Ill inois, con­grega tion , as well as his St. Lou is Churcharea.

Mr. Bald has alrea dy made a fewchanges in the Church schedule so thatthe local Spokesma n Club now meetsevery Saturday night, and there is a Biblestudy every other Sunday to serve thefarflun g members.

The BloomingtonChurch is perhapsunique in that noneof the members livei n Bloomi ngton .They com e fr o rnscattered places asPeoria, Danville, andChampaign - Urbana .The 130 recently inattenda nce have tocome lon g distancesto atte nd and to par­

ticipate in socials and in the new Sundaynight Basketb all pr acti ce.

Mr. Bald is the son of Mr. Jame sBald , who is a dea co n in the Long BeachChurc h. He has had the grea t pri vilegeof being reared, during much of hisyouth, in God's Tru th. He, his wifeNancy, and son, James, I yea r, make anice family to be examples for the bene­fit of the mid-state members.

Seven New Servllnts 01 GOt! Ort!lIinet!VERNON HARGROVE entered collegein Texas determined to become a teacherof agriculture. Reversing the old jokewe've all heard, Mr. Hargrove thought"P.e." for him meant "plow corn, pickcotton and pluck chickens!" But Godsoon reversed his path in life and broughthim to Ambassador. After three years hewas sent to Chicago to help as a secondman in the field. Returning with morezeal, realizing the real need of God's peo­ple from his year's experience, Mr. Har­grove spent his last year at Ambassadorin the Mail Reading Department withmany of his week-ends spent in Arizona,driving many hot miles and visiting withGod's people there.

After graduation he went to Arizonaas Mr. Hill's assistant in the Phoenix andTucson churches. Two of the biggestblessings of Mr. Hargrove's life camelittle more than a week apart: he wasordained as a Preaching Elder in the min­istry of Jesus Christ, and united in mar­riage by God to Miss DeLee Hans! Mr.Hargrove now serves as the co-pastor ofthe Arizona churches.

CARNIFF CATHERWOOD, Winnipeg,Manitoba, Canada - Pasadena, Cali­

fornia, USA - Bricket Wood, Herts.,

England - Indianapolis, Indiana, USA

- are all called home by Mr. Cather­

wood. Speaking both English and French

as a result of the area in which he was

born and reared, and having studied Ger­

man in high school, he thought languages

would be his forte when he came to col­

lege. But his speaking ability and the re­

sponsibilities he shouldered as a pioneer

student at Ambassador, Bricket Wood, as

a baptising tour member and as Mr.

Waterhouse's able assistant in the estab­

lishing of two churches in Alabama

proved God was calling him to the office

of Preaching Elder!

Mr. Catherwood is now serving capa­bly in the new church at Indianapoliswith the responsibility for more thanthree hundred brethren.

ARTHUR MOKAROW High schoolsummers filled with work as a life guardand summer camp director, two years inthe Navy, work as a physical educationdirector for the YMCA while workingfor his B.S. degree in physical educationproduced a dynamic broker for an insur­ance company in the Chicago area! Suc­cess in education (Mr. Mokarow gradu­ated in the top one percent of his class)and in business prepared him for a suc­cessful completion of the courses offeredat Ambassador.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Mokarow were ableto travel to Europe and the Near East(especially Jerusalem and Petra!) duringthe summer of 1961. Now Mr. Mokarowis using his office as Local Elder assistingMr. Dorothy in the San Bernardinoarea.

KEITH THOMAS "I was more afraidof the crew than the enemy!' reflectedMr. Thomas on his World War II andKorean conflict duty as a radar techni­cian aboard a U. S. Navy submarine. But,safely discharged in 1952, he began tohear The World Tomorrow in '53. Rec­ognizing God's truth, he was quick to re­spond, and checking up on the broadcasthe made a campus tour conducted by Mr.Richard Armstrong in 1954.

Once called out of this world, Mr.Thomas found himself not only a laymember of the Church of God, but, ina few short years, working on the visitingprogram. Ordained as a Deacon in 1960,he was called to full-time work as Mr.Hegvold's assistant in '61. Producing fruitas a profitable servant, Mr. Thomas wasordained a Local Elder this Feast of Tab­ernacles and is now reassigned as Mr.McCullough's assistant in the TempleCity Church of God.

CECIL BATILES Beginning his school­ing in Casper, Wyoming, continuinggrade school in Pyote, Texas, and spend­ing his first two years at Burbank, Cali­fornia, Mr. Battles finished his highschool education by correspondencethrough the American School of Chicago,Illinois. Then his real education began atAmbassador College, the Fall of 1952.

Commencement exercises of 1956launched Mr. Battles on a job as minis­terial assistant which took him to severalareas around the United States, until hesettled as a married man with a familyin Houston, Texas. There he has served,and proved himself for the office he nowholds as a Local Elder in God's Church.

KELLY BARFIELD came to Ambas­sador as a tall Texan ... from Louisiana!After he graduated from high school inLogansport, La., he moved to Fort Worth,Texas, to make his fortune. He soon dis­covered that what really mattered in thislife, and the real purpose for life, wasrevealed truth from God. Hard-workingand conscientious, Mr. Barfield got notonly an education, but a wife from Am­bassador.

Both Mr. Barfield and his wife are nowserving in the Little Rock and MemphisChurch of God, fulfilling his commissionas Local Elder.

RICHARD RICE Midwest City, Okla­homa, sent Mr. Rice to Ambassador.When he first considered college, he felthis background and training would bestsuit him as a teacher. Active in manyways in college, in writing, singing, andsocial activities on the side, Mr. Rice didenter the teaching field after graduation.

Mr. Rice married an Ambassador coedand went to Gladewater to teach in Im­perial School there. Constant growth andservice proved he was qualified for theoffice of Local Elder to which he wasordained this Feast of Tabernacles.

by Emma DaytonAs Christian women we are not to fol­

low the whims of fashion that now saythat women are to wear tight skirts (soshort the knees are exposed). To be at­tired modestly, however, does not meanthat we have to be completely coveredfrom ankle to chin. We are to use moder­ation in all things.

In selecting clothes, choose the moresimple lines. An advantage in this is thata dress or a suit can be adapted moreeasily to changing styles by using differ­ent accessories. We are definitely to avoidwearing too short a dress. We shouldwear them short enough, when the cur­rent style is short skirts, to prevent adowdy look.

Without the use of makeup certainbright colors are more becoming thanthe grey, black, or beige which manywore previous to their being in God'sChurch. In addition to that, it reallyhelps to brighten one's spirits to wear abright yellow suit instead of a black one.

At long last, it is possible to find dressshoes in a proper heel height and withless pointed toes. This has been a prob­lem recently.

Let's be an example to those aroundus of what a well-dressed Christianwoman should wear.
