Lit Bricen, of the Princess Pat reg
iment, added to his laurels and to the
Appreciation of the work of the Sal
walton lassies by his recital of his and
their experiences to the Rotarians. It
was a revelation to some to know that
on at least some occasions Salvation
Army lassies, like Jeanne of Arc, had
gone at the front of the battle line
with the boys to inspire them to great
er heroism. Lit. Bricen hurried from
1 the luncheon to an automobile Which
rushed hi INTO F1omaton to catch a
north bound train at that point.

Lieut. Bricen addressed the employees
of the shipbuilding plant yesterday

drive, and it is the expectation of the
drive management that the large ma
jority of the more than two thousand
workers at the plant will give each
half a days pay to swell the fund.
This will make most handsome sum.

Nine was appropriately sung by
EChief Petty Officer John Frenkel, of
Mobile. accompanied by the ship yard
band. through the courtesy of the yard
