Ail those direetly or indirectly interested Rn the building -of the Baha'i temple we re doubtless pleased to learn. from, reliable sources that the dam- 5ah~ Te>leage d'one to. that' structure by the fire of January 15 did flot apiount to more than a few thousand dol- lars. Gratitude is due to Wilmette and Evanstoni firemen -for thus: limiting a Ioss which might easily have. been much greater. An authority in the field of architecture recently voiced the opinion that the plan. oif this temple expressed the first new:note ini plans of this sàpecies since the .13th cen- tury. Certain -it is>that even now in its u0completed stage this remfarkable edifice. Iiioms up surprisingly and impressively: before the eyes of motorists proceeding àouth in Wilmette on Sheridan road. We trust that the work on Baha'i temple wili be continued and that no further ob- 4tacles will stand in the way 'of its early Northsorpépe as- sthose ini l1other, p'arts of ,our. country, are inter- ested not .merely in the return of "good" times but mc more GOVÉrMMenst intensely in the actual #gglatiolo bringing back of "good", times..ý It may be suit- eble for an animal to wait for the coming of food.

In conclusion Mr. Blanchard said, "Wfe do not have to follow along the old ways of thinking. We should be revol.utionists. If our. engineers and ' technical, masters have buit up the miost industrialized nation in the world, we are well educated& enough to build up the most huinan, nation in the world." ankind. has learned, largely through the teachings of Christ and his followers, that the best, life is-the serving life.

Service sion that -the best life is the outward-looking7 life, that the I)est way to get rid of, troubles is to 'attack, thein objectively., Surely life's great est lesson is that self-development is most aurely attained by seIf-forgetfuthness. Service saves the soul. We have many agencies on the north shore which have learned this great l-esson., Our churches regard serving as the'ir fore- most duty and privilege. Our schools are institutions for ministerini~to the need's of the young. We have in our towns manv societies of various sorts whose motto, expressed or implied, is Serving Ot 'hers. Rotary. clubs have as their motto "S"ervice above Self." Among north ýshorc organi 'zations that, have done notable work ini the field of service is the American- Legion with its .posts in our various communities. It and* its Auxiliaries have been of literally im- measurable a.id te thé sick, and otherwise _needy.' Service of some kind'has always been, and .will always be, .an ipotn item en its program. Just now'the Legion' is making a vigorous membership drive.ý The organization realizes that. with an* increase, of. membershiýp there will Corne. ably long time. And that fact is signifi- cant.

Daily Northwestern, stu- dent publication, contains an advert isement of specialists in hair raising (meaning culture).* It seems that the famous baldheaded fraternity of the Evanston campus is. doonied. What will.be- corne ofý that stalwart race of, men, who,, with bald headst used, te brave the lake breezes that sweep the campus «in late fali, winiter and early spring?- 1Weil, anyway, If the treatments have'already begun their work, the students will bave more hair to tear <hrlng their worries over the final examinations that bit the campus next week. What far-reaching effects this*hair raising will have on -campus activities has not yet been deter- mined. Take the band, for instance. In musical circles it is said that horn, blowers are usually bald, or else getting that way; while violin players sport long and plentiful hair. If - long, luxuriant locks get te be the vogue, the band may gradua!ly become an orchestra.
