YES, HOW CAN THEY?

The first grade was having a lesson
on birds. After some discussion the
fact was established that birds eat
fruit. One small girl, however, was
unconvinced.
"But, teacher" she asked, raising
her hand, chow can the birds open the
cans"

In the old days, when man did a good job,
YOU could hand him a fve-doar gold piece, but
now you have to write check, deduct social Sc

It's like asking girl friend for receipt for your

So, you won't fight
Well, don't take it too seriously
You won't stop anything, in Jail or
out
You see, there are several million
young fellows
Who don't feel about it just the way
you do
Some of them don't sleep in theo-
logical dormitories-
Lots of them haven't had real job
in their lives, yet
So they don't mind taking on the
army job, as such
While some are in earnest about
this Hitler thing
X X X
Charitably, it's largely interpreta-
Many apparently good Christian
people
Even bishops, have led armies to
battle
Joan of Arc seems to have been a
pretty good person
She claimed God told her to lead
the French armies
You may not believe in that kind
Of Inspiration
But it worked out pretty well, for
the French nation
Of course, the Crusades were a
badly mixed up mess
But how do you square your act with
George Washington?
Lincoln did not like war; but he
went through with it
Of course, you would have just side
stepped that
Then, there was the battle Of
Tours
When Charlemagne stopped Mo-
hammedanism in Europe
You would have let the Koran run
Europe
AS an early American pioneer, you
would have let the Indians scalp
You would not fight gangsters; but
would regret failure by the police
But, since Washington, Lincoln,
Charlemagne, and the police
Have done pretty good jobs in their
way
You don't mind having a nice, quiet
time, studying theology
Getting the benefit Of what these
fighters accomplished
Enjoying what was gained by men
who died, for something or other
Who had whatever it takes to go
out and stop their enemies
x X x
Nobody objects, much, to your lit
tie battle
You got your names in the papers,
all over the world
Hitlers and Stains, who may bene-
fit by your act
Have no great respect for your
opinions
This is a pretty free country, after
all
There must be laws, in order to get
things done
There cannot be one law for divinity
StudentS-
Then have other laws for machin-
ist apprentices and chauffeurs-
But, you won't have to fight, or go
through training
You might object to helping make
airplanes for Britain
So, you won't even have to do that
You'll just get your nice little va
cation
Meanwhile, learning lot of what
it is all about
In stir
X X X
You may even be respectable, when
you get out
Some ladies may want to lionize you,
for while
There may be some temptations,
brothers
If Hitler's agents should want you
to keep it up
SO, read Moseley's "Ruling Ideas
of Early Ages
Find out why Abraham was ready
to kill his own son
Perhaps Oliver Cromwell could give
you an idea or two
You may even be ready to enlist
when you are paroled.

has narrowed down to Joseph c. Lee and Harold McGrath.
 Waiting List
 The waiting list system to be recommended by the committee was described as follows:
 Applicants for high school posi- tions will be listed according to the year they were certified to teach by the State Department of Education and the subjects they are certified to teach. Thus, under this system, whenever vacancy occurs it will be filled by the candidate whose name is first on the list of the particular subject in which the vacancy exists.
 For example, if a vacancy occurs in the English department, the teachers committee will go to the list and pick out the first person on the English waiting list. Number 2 on the list then moves up to first place and gets the next vacancy occurring ir the English depart ment.
 Political Football
 The new arrangement is expected to block political football" in mak- ing appointments to the high school faculties, but will on the other hand have the disadvantage of a priority system as opposed to a system based on merit and ability, which Dr. Thomas J. Condon, school superin- tendent, advocates.
 Thus, If the first name on the English department is that of a per- son who rated flair" marks in col- lege, while the very latest applicant is one who distinguished himself in English, the job will go to the flair" student, to the possible dis advantage of his classes.
 The joint-ruleS-teacher commit tee was appointed to investigate the matter at the last meeting of the board on recommendation of Com Perry Graicerstein, Mrs. Anna Hadden and Dr. Harold Per- kinson.
 McGrath In Lead (?)
 MT. McGrath is reported to have the edge on MT. Lee for the position of physical director of the grammar schools because of the many years his name. has been on the waiting list and the experience he has gained by doing substitute work in

HUGHES OPENS | LOCAL MISSION
Salvation Army Major Breaches Again Tonight { at Citadel

In his sermon in the chapel of The Salvation Army on Cherry street last night, Major Joseph Hughes, who is conducting . preaching mision there this week, said he believed the success of the new evangelism would be accom- plished bl individuals doing per- sonal work rather than by mass preaching. <
 He claimed this was largely how the early Christian church grew, citing as one example the brother of Peter, Andrew, who was iHl- strumental in recruiting that great apostle.
 Major Hughes also said if the Church fails now, there Is not much hope for g world beset by unrest and hatreds. "There has never been a time in the history of this nation, when God had not lifted the burden. Lincoln prayed during the Civil War. The whole Church should pray for Gods iatercession now".
 Tonight at 8 the Major will preach from Hosea 11:1: "When Israel was 8 child, then loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.". f

 St. Lucy,s team finished second in 1039's tournament. It met in the finals with the Church of the Im- maculate Conception. Its members were awarded second prize, individu- al medals for members of the team.
 This years team includes Alexan- der Mole and Miss Anna Calo, who were on 1939,s team and Anthony Guastaferri, winner of the local high schools oratorical contest. St. Lucy's has high hopes of winning the cham pionship this year, but its most im- portant assignment to date is to survive its meeting with St. Francis speakers from the hill.
