Leader Explains
Wcrk Group Here
A group of young people who
have been visiting Kodiak on a
work project that includes painting
the Kodiak Baptist Mission build
ings here and at Ouzinkie, and ex
tends to include fencing, laying
tile, digging ditches and many
other tasks, were guests at the
Rotary luncheon Tuesday at the
49 Room.
The Workers, of both sexes,
from 19 to 29 years old, come from
12 states, represent six church de
nominations, and do the work for
free.
The history of the group and its
workings was explained to the Ro
tary members by Rev. Robert
Whetstone, Ecumenical group lead
er.
He said the idea started near
the end of the second world war
in Italy, during a discussion of the
damage done Dy war. Some volun
teers decided to repair a chapel
that had been bombed out, and
after that was done the idea of do
ing more similar work evolved.
«
There are now 50 Ecumenical
camps in 30 different countries,
Rev. Whetstone explained, and the
United States Student Christian
Council is the sponsoring agent
in the United States. While the
age limit is 29 here, in many for
eign countries older people take
part. The group woking here is
composed of college and graduate
students and each has to spend
some $330 to take part in the proj
ect, although many do it on schol
arships.
Rev. Whetstone gave the Ecu
menical movement high praise as
a worthy means of channeling the
energies of young people, and said
they have all enjoyed Kodiak and
meeting the people here, and
especially the children at the Mis
sion. •. •«
