Captain @. J. Cleary

college. introduced the speaker,
who is an alumnus Of the Normal.
Captain Cleary stated that In
my opinion as a military man II
We found II necessary TO raise an
army, II is also necessary to use
the CONSUMPTION method. / regard
it as a privilege 10 serve in the
army. In government of the
people. by the people, and for the
people. we must realize that We
have duties to perform, he said.
When speaking OF the jobs left
by men who will go into training
Captain Cleary expressed the opin-
ion that women will probably fill
their jobs. and perhaps new rights
will be created for them.
He said that he has been asked
by several students II serving a
year when one has not completed
his college education is not a
waste. mo. the speaker asserted.
1T is not a year OF waste, but
another year Of education"
Captain Cleary informed the
group that specialists in the army
are paid more money than the
average man in training. These
specialists include cooks. buglers.
chauffeurs, clerks, and mechanics.
THE army is not all work and
no play Opportunity for sports
and games is given at many
times" he stated, Just as oppor-
tunity Is given for each man to
practice his own religion just as
II he We're at home.
Captain Cleary. who has been
forced to discontinue military
duty in order to recuperate from
a serious Illness. answered ques-
lions from the floor.
Victor Mastromarco. president

DON'T HELP THE ENEMY

THERE ARE two cardinal prin-
ciples OF defensive play which I'M
derlie all others. The first is to find
some course of action. If you can,
which definitely contributes to the
success of your effort to defeat
the contract. If at any stage Of
the try. you are unable to figure
out a lead or play which seems
likely to help that cause, then
observe the other basic principle,
which is this--do not do some
thing which probably will help the
declarer. It is like the situation Of
the youngster freed by the bear
who prayed: AT least, If you can't
help me, for goodness sake don't
help that bear"

Around all lies the power OF the

and oceans, where our navy
reigns, which Is capable of
transferring Its force very readily
to the protection Of any part Of

threatened: which Is capable also
OF keeping open our communica-

whom as the struggle deepens

meath the crown Of our ancient
monarchy. We'are supported by

But there is one bond which
unites us all and sustains us in

Increasingly becoming known,
that we are prepared to proceed
to all extremities, endure them

our bond Of union in his majes-

Thus only in times like these
