PARKLAND, WASI-IINGTON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 7, 1947

Funeral Today for NAME NEW P. M. James H. Rhone IN PARKLAND VETERANS OF THE WEEK "My hobby is fire protection," Lawrence Alden of Midland says. Lawrence, a salesman for the Broadway Furniture Co1npany, Tacoma, served with the 5th Army in Italy, with the 178th Field Artillery Battalion, better known as the "Red Fox Battalion." Supply was- his field while in the service. Lived in Midland Before the War Midland has been his home for nine years, Lawrence stated. Before entering the army, he had served as the first fire chief of the Midland Volunteer Fire Department. The Midland Department resulted from the government's civilian defense prorgam, he mentioned. 'When the group, then engaged in civilian defense fire protection under the direction of C. R. Bolin, first thouhgt of the idea of creating a department. "vVe credit the defense program fur making people conscious of our need for fire protection," Alden said. "Now we have 30 members in the fire department, and a very active ladies.' auxiliary," he continued. "We got our start from the proceeds of the Midland dance hall, which is a community project." Army Is Okay Lawrence has nothing against the army, but did not indicate any enthusiasm for going back in either. There are three children i;1 the Alden home at Route 4, Box 344, Tacoma. Susan, age seven and a half, Jimmy, six, Tommy, four, make up the trio. Lawrence is a member of CloYer Creek Post 118 of the American Legion. "YEARS OF ACHIEVEMENT" We hope you all saw the editorial in the Tacoma N e w s Tribune a few days ago, entitled "Years of Achievement." The editorial is of such importance that we take the liberty of quoting from it for the benefit of our readers. "President S. C. Eastvold enters his. fifth year as president and business manager of the Pacific Lutheran College on August 1. When he took over the leadership of the Parkland institution the attendance was 160 college students in seven buildings on the 125-acre campus. The year which begins this fall will have an enrollment limited to 800 full time students during each semcs-tcr with a waiting list. There are 23 buildings ready for use on the campus with a doubled classroom capacity and a greatly increased faculty. This record made by Dr. Eastvolcl is all the more remarkable in that it was achieved during war conditions which were particularly hard on all colleges. Began in 1942 "Dr. Eastvold came to Tacoma in 1942 under the depressive conditions that prevailed at the beginning of the war. He threw himself into his task with great ardor and pleaded the cause of the Pacific Lutheran College before the great Lutheran church bodies on the Pacific coast. Pacific Lutheran is the only Lutheran college on the Pacific coast"and as such it has the support of the great Lutheran organization from Alaska to California arid from Tacoma east to Butte, Montana. Gain of $1,000,000 "The current budget adopted by the board of trustees in the first year of Dr. Eastvold's administration was about $100,000. The budget for the school year 1947-1948 will total $368,505. The official audit of the college showed that on August 1, 1943, its net worth was $284,095.97. The same auditors valued the net worth of the college on. August 1, 1946, at more than a million dollars. It is expected by the college authorities that the current appraisal will show a net value of about $1,300,000 or a net gain of more than a million dollars. "Dr. Eastvold and his associates at Pacific Lutheran are entitled to the thanks of Tacoma and Pierce county for their remarkable achievement at Parkland. Pacific Lutheran has now become one of the recognized institutions of higher learning in the Pacific Northwest. During Dr. Eastvold's tenure the college has been given full recognition as a liberal arts college with a teachers training de( Continued on Page Four)

These citizens are well known in this section and the final results as given ont by them will be beyond dispute. In the event any near relative of any member of the Advis-ory Board should enter this campaign, it will automatic;dly eliminate that member from being chosen to make the final count of the votes.
