Am Annotated Bibliography. Appendixes. Index. Melvin Gingerich (29 January 1902--24 June 1975. Melvin Gingerich received a Ph.D. in history from the State University of Iowa (1938). He was Archivist of the Mennonite Church Archives at Goshen from 1947 until his retirement in 1970 and also served as editor of the Mennonite Historical Bulletin, published by the Historical Committee of the Mennonite Church. His published works included Mennonites in Iowa (1939), Service for Peace (1949), Youth and Christian citizenship (1949), What of noncombatant service : a study of alternatives facing the conscientious objector (1949), Who's Who Among the Mennonites (1943, as Assistant Editor), The Christian and revolution (1968), and Mennonite attire through four centuries (1970). He was Managing Editor of the Mennonite Quarterly Review from 1952-1970. After his retirement, Gingerich continued his activities as researcher, writer, lecturer, and consultant to various church agencies at home and abroad until his death. A devoted member of the Mennonite Church (MC), his interest, concern, and service included the total Mennonite movement throughout the world. In 1969 he made a tour of Mennonite communities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, discussing archival matters with leaders in these locations and helping establish archival policies. In 1974 he became the first person to receive the Sister M. Claude Lane Memorial Award established by the Society of Southwest Archives and granted by the Society of American Archivists. The Civilian Public Service (CPS) was a program of the United States government that provided conscientious objectors with an alternative to military service during World War II. From 1941 to 1947, nearly 12,000 draftees, willing to serve their country in some capacity but unwilling to perform any type of military service, accepted assignments in "work of national importance" in 152 CPS camps throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. Draftees from the historic peace churches and other faiths worked in areas such as soil conservation, forestry, fire fighting, agriculture, under the supervision of such agencies as the U.S. Forest Service, the Soil Conservation Service, and the National Park Service. Others helped provide social services and mental health services. The CPS men served without wages and minimal support from the federal government. The cost of maintaining the CPS camps and providing for the needs of the men was the responsibility of their congregations and families. CPS men served longer than regular draftees and were not released until well after the end of the war. Initially skeptical of the program, government agencies learned to appreciate the men's service and requested more workers from the program. CPS made significant contributions to forest fire prevention, erosion and flood control, medical science and reform of the mental health system. The story of Mennonite Civilian Public Service is told here for all branches of the Mennonite brotherhood in North America. All these bodies took a common and united position as nonresistant Christians, in full accord with their historic four-hundred-year-old heritage, in rejecting all forms of military service, combatant and noncombatant, an in offering constructive service for the public good as a testimony for what they believe to be the way of peace and love. The history of Mennonite "service for peace' is one history and required a unified presentation although the cooperating groups have somewhat varying records of performance and may differ in certain points in their evaluation of the total experience. The major attention of this book is given to the record in the United States, with only a brief chapter devoted to Canada.
