(Daddy) Groff 'O7, Penn State's good-will missionary and repres entative at Lingnan University in China, is back in State College again, after working this summer at his Harrisburg headquarters. Intending to stay here several months, Daddy Groff will go south in December to continue his work in plant research for China. "Southern climate in this country is somewhat like that in China, and I plan to concentrate on cit:- rus culture," he revealed. Since the onset of the Sino-Jap anese war, no exchange students have gone from Penn State to Lingnan. However, two Chinese, including Dr. Lai-yung Li, con tinued to enroll here each year. Dr. Li completed his graduate work here last spring and is now conducting soil .studies in the South. • Because ,of poor health, Daddy Groff returned to , this country last February. After spending two months on the west coast, he came here with Clinton N. Laird, also a •professor at Lingnan. "Lingnan has been little 'affected by the war," Daddy Groff explained, "al though Canton, one of the Univer sity's three centers, is closed be cause it is in occupied territory. Officials and educators are confi dent of China's success in the war with Japan, and also feel that their country will rise to greater than-ever heights following the present conflict." - ' - During freezing weather, ice may form under a car .and freeze the steering apparatus. •%) . #044/ adegeo. chest, raitt, "Boit PorgetYour Parker!" 6 x..CoP.&zzf NINAreffiMEP Pen —More Room for Ink because NO rubber sac, hence a Pen that won't run dry in lectures, tests, exams!
