Bajema, Findlay college professor and minister, who filled pulpits of Bluffton and Rockport Presbyterian churches November 14 has received a citation from Queen Wilhelmina in recognition of his work in the organizaton of relief for two towns in the Netherlands. As a member of the committee planning the centehnial celebration at Cedar Grove, Wis., Dr. Bajema conceived the idea of “adopting” one or two Netherland villages as a part of the centennial program. The plan was enthusiastically endorsed by the village council and leading church men, since 95 per cent of the Cedar Grove population are descendants of Netherland immigrants. Two villages, Bierum and Hol wierda in the province of Groning ten, Netherlands, where the Cana dians made their first invasion and fought a three-day battle, were chosen for “adoption”. The villages, with a population of about 1,000 each, had many of their homes de destroyed during the war. Before shipments could be made, it was necessary to contact the European Relief organization in New York in order that the shipments might be expedited through proper channels. Dr. Bajema, former pas tor of the Cedar Grove Presbyter ian church, said the members of various churches served on a gen eral committee to arrange for pack ing and shipping. Relief packages will be sent as long as the villages are in need. In addition to the citation signed fine hand-grained cowhide fashionec by SWANK into accessories of luster and mag a new, hand-crafted custom useful, strictly personal gift Geiger & Dilier Featuring the Unusual in Holiday Gifts Closed all day on Thanksgiving.
