self would be one of their own. To every passenger who would sail on this craft they gave q vote, The greatest and the least would have voice in It's control. Then, they named it the United States of America,
 My dear friends, for over Q cen- tury now this ship has piled It's course through the sometimes quiet, sometimes turbulent waters of world history, Tempests from without haVo tried it; strife from within once threatened to tear 1t aSunder, But our ioretathers fore- saw and provided for all this, and so cur ship of state has survived,
 Now again In this twentieth century, the storm clouds of war are beginning to gather on our horizon Already, the ship Is be- ginning to rock and roll In fierce waves of prophetic propaganda. Above our heads, tho air Is filled with flashing reports Of the ap- preaching storm, The problem confronts us-Shall we sail on ahead or shall we drop anchor and attempt to ride 1t out2 MY friends, the answer to that ques- ton rests With those whom we have chosen to lead us. We have right and Q duty to influence their decision, Our American citi. yenShlp guarantees that right. Our patriotic devotionS should en- courage us to exercise our privt- leRe,
 But like our iorelathers of old, let us lsneel and pray before we net, Let us call upon God to wit. ness the sincerity, the loyalty and the love In our hearts, With malice toward none; with charity for all; with tlrmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right let us strive to finish the work we are in." Be mindful too, Of those other words Of Lincoln, If des- tructlon be our lot we must our selves be It's author and finisher. As a nation of freemen we must live through all times or die by suicide" ....
 So, my friends, look up God this day and every day in prayer. But before you lift up your arms in humble supplication, wash clean your hearts in the purging waters jof contrition. Tear away the veil of irreligion and immor- tality that threatens to enshroud the Cross and the stars and stripes will always wave. Gird yourselves with the precepts of Christ and the principles of our Constitution will never fade. Be Catholics in action and you never become Americans in reaction. No man true to his God was ever false to his country. No man false to the God who worked so provi- dently with his forefathers can truthfully say Of himself, I am an American.

It anchored seven miles off the coast SO the holidayers could fish. The motors wouldn't start. The crew was tinkering with the carburetor of one, There was an explosion, followed at once by Q second one of even greater force as the gasoline tank containing l20 gallons went up.
 The fishing boat cadet was ma neuvering ln to take the Nightin- gale In tow and the Edward was in sight. Apparently the seven thought one or the other would take them off, The sea was too rough, how ever, but the 3l others were picked up from life rings and bits of wreck age to which they had been cling Ing. The survivors included Cap tain Douglas Sabiston and Don Mintz, his engineer. These men were the crew.
 The dead were F. R, Griffin and George R. BartHeld, Jr., Rocky Mount, N. O., and T. W, Cotharan, shelton Lefler, c. A. Barber and Barbers sons, Guy, Jr, 20. and Jer- ", l8, all of Salisbury, N. c.
