...there are the ring sellers whose wares are worthless. An expresident of The Crimson once told me that he was the only guy on his corridor who managed to evict the ring salesman who obnoxiously pushed his way into his room: "I told him I was a Seventh Day Adventist and that we aren't allowed to wear jewelry." If nothing else works, I guess you ought to give that...
Contests, Contests. When Shirley was a child in Los Angeles, her Seventh-day Adventist parents were dismayed at her interest in opera: they loved "good" music but considered opera almost as frivolous as theater and jazz. But she was a girl with aggressive drive and unyielding self-assurance-and so proved it in her brief venture in real estate. Then Shirley won an Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts show in 1955, and the Juilliard School of Music gave her a full scholarship.

"I just go down there and holler at nine in the morning," says Math Teacher Ray Ditman, "and if nobody shows up, I go back home...
...government in this sphere. In striking contrast to the dismal record of governmental bureaucracy is the progress of the religious organizations; and though I am by no means a religious man, I am proud of what these Americans are doing. I speak with special feeling of the Seventh Day Adventist Mission Hospital here in Saigon. In this institution American doctors are bringing ever more sophisticated medical care to Vietnamese who only yesterday were being treated by traditional herbals or even acupuncture. In this dreary war, where it seems that the welfare of the Vietnamese individual is so often forgotten...
