   A $250,000 grant---the largest
 single gift ever received by The
 College of Steubenville, has been
 made by the J.C. Williams Chari-
 table Trust. In announcing the
 gift, the Reverend Columba J.
 Devlin, T.O.R., President, said
 that a new facility, to be erected
 on the campus and designed to
 serve as a center for college
 activities, will be named the J.C.
 Williams   College  Union in
 memory of John C. Williams,
 pioneer steelmaker and one of
 the founders of Weirton Steel
 Company.
   "In honoring the memory of
 Mr. Williams," Fr. Devlin said,
 "College officials wish to show
 their appreciation of a man who
 has done much for our local
 area. We think this gift ara-
 matically illustrates the belief
 of the J.C. Williams Charitable
 Trust in the future of the College
 of Steubenville." Fr. Devlin
 stated the College would receive
 the grant in five annual pay-
 ments beginning this year and
 extending through 1972.
 Following the death of Mr.
 Williams' wife, Mrs. Anna D.
 Williams, the J. C. Williams
Charitable Trust was established
in 1961 as Mr. Williams hadpro-


vided in the trust agreement.
One of the provisions connected
with the administration of the
fund  was: the    promotion of
science, art, health, education,
recreation, and good citizenship
among the inhabitants of the City
of Steubenville, Ohio and the City
of Welrton, West Virginia.
  A   native  of Wales,    Mr.
Williams and his wife were long
time residents of the City of
Steubenville. Active   and in-
terested n civic affairs, both he
and Mrs. Williams were known

  Tradition has long told that
  the heart is the recognized sym-
bol of Valentine's Day. Gir-couf
Troop 464 has proven the cor-
rectness of this tradition in a
recent act of thoughtfulness per-
formed by them.
   In their never ending search
for the opportunity to serve
others, the girls chose to send
cookies for Valentine's Day to
some boys serving in Viet Nam.
The only question now was how
to choose who was to receive
.the cookies. The answer came
easily for there were six letters
received from the boys who had
received ditty bags which the
girls had assisted in packing. Six
boxes of homemade cookies were
packed for shipment to Viet Nam.
This is where a big vote of
thanks   for prompt   services
should be given to the Postal
Service. Eight days after the
cookies were shipped, letters of
thanks came to troop 464.
   The most eloquent of these was
written  by SMS6T    Walter L.
Donelan.   His inside  address
shows the spirit of the boys in


Viet Nam "DaNang by the Sea,
Garden Spot of Vietnam." In
his letter he states "Your cook-
ies arrived in good condition and
I thank you very much for your
thoughtfulness. I am not used to
so much attention."
  "As you may have read in the
papers, the Viet Cong (Charlie)
have been very active this last
week or so. They have been
rocketing the base quite frequent-
ly, but have not done too much
damage. Again, morale is good
here and we go ahead and do our
jobs. We do get quite tired though,
as Charlie usually hits early in
the morning (after midnight.)"
  "We    had  terrific response
from the States at Christmas.
Your troop, and many, many,
others, sent gift packages and
they were really appreciated.
There is something about a pack-
age from home that hits the
spot."
  "As you may have read in the
papers, the Vietnamese New Year
holiday is just finishing. (We were
supposed to have had a truce,
remember?)    The  Vietnamese
people celebrate their New Years


differently than we do, ana i am
enclosing a brochure explaining
their holiday. I -hope that you
find it interesting. They call their
holiday season TET, and pro-
nounce it "Thay"."
  "Lastly, girls, don't let the
headlines in the newspapers con-
fuse you. This is a difficult war
to fight, but we are winning it.
You should be proud of the young
American men who are fighting
over here. They don't complain
or question. They laugh at the
draft card burners and peace-
nicks and say that the only rea-
son they are allowed to perform
their cute little tricks is be-
cause America is a free country,
and we wouldn't want it any
other way would we?"
  "Thank you again for your
kindness."
  Another note from SMC Allen
Piper read, "Just a short note
to each of you girls in Troop
464 and Troop Leaders to thank
you for the very wonderful and
delicious box of cookies."
  "I am not only thankcn yvou
