FAREWELL FOR
CHAPLAIN AXTON
Service to Be Held Sunday
Night in Tabernacle By
Special Permission

Because the men Of the goth infan-
try had planned a big farewell service
for chaplain John T. Axton and his
family, Col Alfred Hasbrouck sought
and obtained permission from Brig
Gen. George Bell, Jr, to hold the ser
vice in the big tabernacle. the quaran-
time being waived for this one indoor
exercise with the understanding that
the doors and windows and all ventila-
tors would be kept open during the
service.
Except for this concession, chaplain
AxtOn would not have he'd the pleasure
of conducting a service in his finished
plant, for the floor and the approach
TO the balcony were completed only
yesterday, and the folding chairs put
in place The building had been in use
for several weeks without the floor
and advantage was taken OF the two
weeks quarantine to make these addi-
lions.
the Eighth field artillery, and chap
lain Joseph Clemens, OF the Fifth field
artillery, have arranged the program
for the farewell service
So anxious were the men of the regi-
ment TO honor their departing chap
insisted upon having part in the eX-
ercises and they have been given
places. Miss Anna Axton. by request of
the men, is to sing Not Understood"
Psalm" by Bailey. Brief farewell ad-
dresses will be made by chaplains
Smith and Clemens. who have been so
long associated with chaplain Axton
in the entertainment and religious
work at Fort Bliss, and the chaplain
will have a parting message for his
men.
