a ad October 1, 1927 WINNETKA TALK ASK U.S. TO ALTER | "POLICY" IN CHINA (Continued from page 1) ness in China is ruined by it? Want Policy Redefined The question to come before the | congregation meeting next Wednes- | day night grows out of a recommenda- | tion adopted by an informal joint meeting of the Church council and the Missionary and Benevolence com- mittee after hearing Mr. Reynolds speak on this subject. The church council recommends that the church ask the American board combine with other missionary boards in this country to call upon the government so to redefine its policy in China as to exempt from enforced military protec- tion missionaries and other religious workers.

Federal Aid work This has been accomplished through two methods-- by separating the grades and by changing the highway routes. Nearly two-thirds of these crossings were avoided by re-routing the roads. Of the 414 crossings eliminated during 1926 on Federal Aid projects, 202 of them were by relocation of highways. A number of states have taken steps to eliminate grade crossings. In mak- ing plans for pavement building many communities are including funds for the construction of under-passes and over-passes. There are 232,755 crossings used by motorists in the United States. Of this number only 27,161 have protec- tion in any form. Highway authorities point out that if the yearly accident toll is to be reduced still more atten- jon must be paid to grade crossing elimination. since Miss Margaret Bluthart left Kenil- | worth Sunday to enter Smith college. !
