On December 18 George Bresn8ll, '40, and William McCue, '40, r presented the College in an interesting and timely radio discussion with Wheaton College on the subject of nuetrality. With a dmirable conciseness and displaying a thorough un__ derstanding of the subject, McCue and Bresnan presented a resume of recent applications of American neutrality acts of the problem surrounding our interests in the Sino-Japanese undeclar ed war. Resuming the radio debate series on Janua ry 8 Brother Martin McLaughlin, '38, and Wilbur Mayo, '40, participated with students of DePaul (Continued on Page Five).

Mrs. Deutsch Wins Afghan Mrs.. J . Deutsch, of Chicago, Illinois, was the winner of a n Afghan which was raffled in the Kankakee Armory last Saturday evening between the halves of the basketball game. The raffle was sponsored by the Parent's Club for the purpose of rais ing funds to decorate the College Chapel, and to secure the new pipe organ. The Afghan, a truly exquisite piece of needlecr a ft, was very generously donated by Mrs. Willard Bach, mother of J. Emmett Back, '39, a well known figure on the Viator campus. Father Cardina l, in the nam e of the faculty, ex tends his sincere thanks and congratulations both to the Parents and to the s tudents fo r the fine spirit of c~ope ration which they have displayed in making this raffle the huge success that it was.

The Rev. J. W. R. Maguire, c. S.

In the discussions Father Maguire was assisted by th~ Very Rev. Dr. E. V, Cardinal, c . S. V., President of the College an d by Dr. John Tracy Ellis, Profesoor of History at the Catholic University of America. The speaker s considered three main topics: First, shoUld the League continUe as it is; second, shoUld the League be reformed; and third, should it be a bandoned entirely. AU were agreed that tbe league shoUld not be entirely abandoned, becallS{' ther e is so much in the covenant that is worthwhile. They pointed out, also, that som e kind of reform was high ly desirable, but very difficult of a ttainment because the nations wbo profited by th e world war are using the League as an agent for retaining their ill-gotten gains. Even with tbe unfortunate failure of the League to settle the Japanese and Ethiopian questions, it has shown (Continued on Page -Two)

Debating wi ll again occupy the campus s potlight when selected teams of the Bergin Debating Society participate in the Illinois State Normal Tourna ment on January 14 and 15. At this time the personnel of the teams who will represent St. Viator has not yet been announced by the Rev. J . W. R . Mag uire, debate coach. No debate decisions will be given, as this is to be primarily a practice tournament, and the f ullest advantage of a post-debate criticism cannot be had if the judge must announce a decision. In this way, the judge, f reed from the necessity of substantiating his decision, can concentrale on t elling the debaters the means they can employ to improve their case and gener a} debating te chnique. St. Viator wi ll be r epresented by teams in the first and second team divisions. Debaters entered in Divis ion 1 must debate, a lternately, both sides of the question, while the teams in Division 2 will confine their efforts to one side of the question. The debate proposition, as has been previously announced, is, "Resolved: That the National Labor Relations Board should be empowered to enforce arbitration of a ll indus trial disputes." Two team~ ha ve juSt r eturned f rom a debate with Northwes tern University's Wrang lers in Evanston. Forens ically formidable Wheaton College will mee t two St. Viator teams on January 13 in a debate to be held in the Seminar Room of the Library.

A s we go to press, word is r eceived that the Reverend William J. Cracknell , C. S. V., has again been invit ed to participat e in the Midday Ser vice over r adio station 'wGN on Tuesday, January 11, at 12:35. The topic of the address given by Father Cracknell is, "Religion and Happiness. For the past two years Father Cracknell has spoken frequently over the Chicago s tation and has been r ecalled time and again to a ddress an ever incr easing audience. The sec r et of his popularity may be attributed to the interest and enthusiasm he displays in acquainting his listeners with the contemporary secular and ecclesiastical problems. Though in f ull r elaization of the fact that his work has, even at its present mature stage, jus t begun, his admirable work must be commended. It has been with admiration that we have witnessed hi s radio success. is with s urety gained from past expe ri ence that we look for his continued success. ------------

CROWLEY PR0l\10TED
Mr. Crowley of Kankakee, friend
and benefactor of the College, has recently been promoted to the position of District M8llager of the ~n tire Western Divi£ion of the Pu.blie Service Company, with offices in Oak Park. This is the second promotion which Mr. Crowley has received within the past six months. We take this opportuni ty of congratulating Mr. Crowley upon hi~ r ecent goor fortune, and hope that he will continue to be successful.
By Dic k Powers There is no doubt that everyone in the College was agreeably surprised when, upon the return fr om the Chris tmas Holidays, be beheld ' a real pipe organ in the College Chapel. He recalled how many times in the past the old harmonium bad broken down in the middle of Mass, or at benediction when the r egular organist was absent, the unwary volunteer couldn't make 01 the thing go''. All that is now happy m emory. Due to the generosity and kindness of the P a r ents' Cub, a Johnson pipe organ was donated to the College. It was originally built in 1835, which makes. it over one hundred years old. Yet organs were so well built in those times that it was possible to r ejuvenate it within the space of ten days, making it in many r espects far better than a new one would have been. The case is made of solid walnut, hand carved - a thing of exquisite beauty. It is of nine ranks of pipes, with thirteen stops, boasting of a reed stop in the seel of unusual brillance, and a fou r-foot flute of unsurpassing beauty, both of which would ornament the fines t organ in the country. Mr. Joseph Wimperly of Chicago, was commissioned to r econdition and ins tall the i~strument. At some date next month as yet to be definitely set, Richard J. Powers, the College Organist, will give a r ecital upon the new ins trument.
The Reverend Brother Edward George LaMontagne, C. S. V., a nat ive of Bourbonnais, after an illness of six months died W ednesday, January 5. He was buried in Maternity cemetery from Maternity church, Bourbonnais, on Saturday. Solemn High Mass of Requiem was sung for him a t 9:00 o'clock by the Pastor Rever end Wa lter J. Surprenant, c. S. V., assisted by Father French, C. S. V., as Deacon; Father Landroche, C. S. V., as sub-Deacon; and Father Cracknell, C. S. V., as Master of Ceremonies. Father Armstrong, C. S. V., one of his associates at the Novitiate preached, and his fellow novices assisted as acolytes and incense bearers. His fellow scholastics at St. Bernard Hall kept vigil over his body and r ecit ed the Rosary and De Profundis every hour for his eternal repose. Many priests and religious accompanied relatives and friends to the grave where the last absolution was given by the Provincial Father O'Maboney, C. S. V. Brother Edwa rd was born in Bourbonnais, September 2, 1915, the son of Joseph LaMontagne and the late Rosanna Boudreau. Several brothers and sisters mo urn his loss. After completing his elementary studies in the village school, he entered St. Viator's High School, and after graduation became a novice at the Viatorian Novitiate, Lemont, lllinois, September 7, 1933. His first profession took place in th e Novitiate Chapel a year later, and then he resumed his s tudies at St. Viator College. After two years he was appointed to teach English at St. Joseph's College, Berthierville, Province of Quebec. In June, 1937, be (Continued on P_age Six)
