Dear Sir,
We hear a lot about these "wild
teenagers" today, don't we? We
all have experienced exasperating
incidents on the highways ~md
elsewhere and wondered about the
sanity of today's youth. Every
newspaper carries stories about
vandalism and rioting, most of
which are .attributed to today's
youth. Well, I want you to know
that if the following stor;, ix typ-
ical of the youth in your conulluu-
ity you certainly have a reason

teeuage boys one wonld hope to
meet. They gallently towed us
right up to the hmching ramp and
even helped my husband get tile
boat loaded onto ore" trailer.
We wele so grateful to those
boys and knowing they had used
gallons of gas we had them pump
some of ores into their tank and
gave them a small amomlt of mo-
ney, wishing it could have been
twice as much. They didn't have
running lights and were concerned
about getting hack in tile dark. We
could have loaned them our bat-

p.m. we started back--in our wet

would give us a big lunge for-

down and ahnost die. We finally
made it to Taihuya when it (lied
completely and simply would not
start again. We try always to be
prepared s) we started our little

and also quit.
There we were, adrift in the
middle of the canal, my husband
doing everything possible to get

huddled in a blanket against the
chill wind which had come up
while we watched the sun slowly
sinking in the western sky.

simply can't imagine how terrible
we have felt all day.
Did the boys make it back al-
right ? Did the bad gas foul their
motor or did it mix together ? Did
the Coast Guard t,ick them up for
not having running lights'? Were
their parents worried frantic by
the time they arrived home?
If only we'd have thought to
get their names--but one more
snafu of the day-we didn't. Per-
haps we'll ~)ever know the answer
to these questions but aL least I
hope this letter will let them know
we are truly grateful for their
help and very concerned about
their return home that night.

SMALL WORD, BIG IMPACT
There is a short., two letter word
that is a great hindrance to salva-
tion. The tongue is a small mem-
ber, but it can do much damage;
in the way it is used. This word is
often spoken in the following man-
ner, and it packs the power of sa-
tan behind it, which only tile pow-
er uf the Holy Spirit can break and
bring about redemption for us.
This word is "No". "No, I'm not
interested." "No, I never go to
church." "No, I have to give up too
much." ']?here are many other ways
of saying the word that is a detri-
ment to the soul.
Our souls are more in prison
than our bodies, and when the soul
is set free, we are free indeed. We
either accept or reject Christ as
our own pers()nal ~aviour. There is
no middle grotmd, no compromise,
and eternity is forever and for-
ever.
Think about it, dear. ones. Give
it a lot of serious thought and
think about it now. Don't wait un-

salvation m~til we believe and say
"Yes" to the Lord. For his word is
beyond all shadow of a doubt that
we all must be born again. This
means believing that Christ died
O1% the cross to save US fron~ our
sins, and we need to accept him as
our own personal Saviour. There
is no other way but ti~e way he has
I)ointcd Otlt t0 US.
Christ arose from the dead and
is now at the rigtit hand of God
interceding for us. St. John 3:16.
"For God so loved the world,
that he gave his onlN begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in Him
:should not perish, but have ever-
;lasting life."

A MARINE IN VIET NAM
Dear Bill :
Just thought I'd drop you a line
;to let you know what's happening
to yours truly.
Right now I am in Chu Sai, Viet-
Nam, with the ]st battalion 7th
Marines. Wc have been here about
a month and it looks like we'll
he hele for a long time,
I suppose you know about that
big battle we had over here two
or three weeks ago. That was us.
Personnally I haven't so much as
seen a VC yet except for a few
prisoners. Are they a pathetic
bunch !
We were expecting a big Viet
Cong push through our position
when we first arrived because it
was the anniversary of the French
defeat at Dien Biem Phu but it
never came.
$o far no one in my outfit has
shot another marine. I believe this
is some kind of a record.
The weather has been mostly hot
and dry, that is all except the last
few days. Lately it has been hot
and wet. It's really good for our
rifles. You can sit and watch the
rust form.
We are all set in now and it
has been quiet the last week or so.
Of course tile artillery is blasting
away at night but we are so used
to it that it doesn't bother any-
one. Once in a while a sentry will
cut loose at a bush or shadow, but
other than that nothing happens.
Well, have to knock off now.
Oh yeah, the big thing tllat
bothers us over here is the attitude
of the civilians back stateside. Es-
pecially the college students.
Needless to say it doesn't really
make us too happy to hear about
the students of such and such a
university talcing up a collection
to send to the VC so that they
can buy gm~s to shoot us with.
So long for now.
Yours truly,
Bruce Crawford

article wa~ received from Marit
Vaula of Norway, who spent last
year here as ttI student t;t Shel-
toll High School under the spon-
sorship of t:lm local American
I,'Iehl Servi(q~s Chapter.
$ $ ;l:
All things good and beautiful--
one of those things is friendship
That word to me means many
things: love, respect and a feeling
of fellowship among others. It
means to give and take, and it
stands for living together in peace.
Just some weeks ago I was in
Washington D.C. together with
nearly 3,000 students from dif..
ferent parts of tl~e worhl who all
had spent ttle past year some-
where in the United States. It was
tile annual American Field Service
.... midway--five days of getting to
know each other, meeting and
parttng: I have never seen so many
tears at one time. They were five
days of sharing and learning and
laughing; a round-up of a year
tllat to the majority of us will
stand as "that year".
NOW WE ARE scattered again,
all over this earth, and for most
of us "the same old song and
dance" has started.
For me school started Aug. 18.
It is keeping me busy, but in be..
tween French conjugations and
ancient Norse history my thoughts
skip so easily across the Atlantic
Ocean, all across the American
continent, and to a little town way
on the west coast. A town known
for its Santa Claus and its num-
erous taverns and gas stations. To
me a town full of friends and
friendly people, my second home-
town I could say.
During the year I spent in Shel-
ton I learned quite a few things,
for one thing, that no one should
live alone, people need e~ch other.
.It was hard to leave the people
in Shelton I have grown fond of,
a year is such a short, yet long
time. However, an end is always
a beginning, and this year has
made me realize how many kinds~
of life there are to be livSd. The
world now ,seems both smaller and
wider, more realistic and more
enticing.
WHEN I LEI~"I' Shelton June 24
it was for a four-week tour of
the U.S., together with 33 other
A.F.S.'ers who had spent the year
in Washington, and two chaper-
ones from tile U.W. To say the
least, it was great! We had over-
night stops in Idaho, Montana,
North Dakota, Minnesota, Illinois,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and at the
end five days in New York and
['ive days in Washington D.C.
Words cannot describe our trip
and our experiences. We' saw a
vast, great country and met Am-
ericans of all kinds and qualities.
Christian Science
Services Are Set
we stayed a couple of days, usual-
ly in smal,ler towns, once I was
as lucky to be put in a family
with five boys. The people in the
communities arranged picnics (a
national custom ?), barbecues, dan-
ces, splash-parlies and tours of
among other things a lumber mill!,
a work-house outside Mimlcapolis
and an iuternational music caml)
oil the Canadian border. Talent
shows were frequent. Have you
ever seen Thai bating (they use
their feet) or heard "Are Yt)u
Sleeping, Brolher John?" sung in
thirteen different languages?
TIlE TRIP was a wonderful ex-
perience, and it was hard to believe
that it was over when we left New
York on a S.A.S. jet plane the
26tb of July. In six mid a half
hours we were in Norway, Garde-
moen, outside Oslo, shivering in
our thin smnmer c|otbes, shouting
"hurra" and "welcome home" to
each other and taking deep
breaths of cool, clean morning air.
It was as if Oslo had shrtmk af-
ter Minneapolis, Chicago and New
York. Home in Stavanger every-
thing seemed pretty nmch the
same. It was great seeing my fa-
mily again, and my friends. The
latters were ahnost disappointed
because I was not Americanized.
The thought of settling down was
a bit hard to accept at first. It
goes better now. The Norwegian
I
:mountains are very pretty m fall
and in two years I will probably
be out somewhere again.
I wish I could have been in
Shelton to welcome Nadia from
Egypt. By the end of the year I
am sure you are as patriotic
Washingtonian as I am. It is the
greatest of all the states I have
been in.
And again I want to thank all
the Shelton people, including
A.F.S. workers, the students and
the faculty of Shelton High who
made it possible for me to spend
this year in Shelton. It was too
little to be spotted on the map
when I first looked for it, but
by now it has at least got a big
spot in my heart.

GREETINGS FROM
MARIT'S PARENTS
Let it be said at once that we,
Marit's parents, her brothers and
sisters are full of gratitude for all
the kindness and attention that
Marit was showed during the year
she spent in your town. There is
so much and so many things to
thank for and so many persons we
would like to thank, that it is
impossible to reach each one in-
dividually. Therefore we want to
thank you all, adults and child-
ren, students and teachers and
parents all at once in this way.
However, two families we v(ant
to mention by flame, Maranvilles
and Quimbya. What you in your
hearts' kindness 'have given . our
daughter is of that kind and of so
eases during the Current Popula-
tiun Survey to be conducted in
Sel)tember by tile Btrreau of 1he
Census, according to Director John
E. Tharaldson of the Bureau's Reg-
