USO Reports Indicate Ambitious Tendencies Among
 Men in Uniform; Cultural Desires Found Widespread

history. A museum in Columbia, s. c. loans fine paintings to the USO for hanging in the art students class room and sends lecturers and in- Structors. Another club in the far west has capable instructors to teach almost every orchestral instrument and has a fair stock of instruments These are just exaimplse.
 Through the widespread services of the USO clubs in all parts of the country, a new opportunity is open for stimulating the continued intellectual growth of millions Oi younger adults. USO now has al- most 1000 clubs and other units about 500 of them being clubs with adequate facilities for informal educational programs. The total attendance at these clubs is over 5,000,00O monthly.
 IA higher educational level of today's army and navy is one of the assets which should be recog- nized. Over twice as many college graduates and a much larger pro- portion of high school graduates are in the armed forces now than during World War I. Most men and women in the United States Army today have a basic training far in advance of that of any other army in the world"
 At least one of the classes is a life or death" matter. This situa- tion is in the Canal Zone, where many thousands of city bred sold- 1ers suddenly found themselves at- tached to lonely outposts in the jungles. Here knowledge of plants and animal life is necessary for survival, so the USO drafted in- structors from nearby schools and sent them into the jungles with the Mobile Service Club director. Exhibits of poisonous snakes, bugs and plants, with accompanyinR specimens of similar items which are not poisonous, were taken to the men and classes organized to teach the men methods of recognizinr the dangers of their jungle sur- roundings.
 Discussion Groups
 Most USO clubs have discussion groups and lectures. The pattern for these is very easily laid out, even though it be on a trial and error basis. The soldier attends forums and meetings on subjects he likes and avoids those he does not like. He changes the subject of a dry discussion to a more lively one. He is the boss and he recognizes it There can be no successful effort to change the likes and dislikes of a soldier and the emphasis has al- ways been to meet his desires rather than change them.
 Discussion subjects range from "The Effect of War on Marriage" The Two-Party Political System" and "The World We Want to Live In' to Motion Pictures as a Prop aganda Medium" Most successful are round table discussions and those in which the lecturer speaks for a short time and has a long period for answering questions from the audience. The serviceman is be- coming more and more articulate and wants to express his opinions even though they are at odds with those of his colleagues.
 Facilities for these men to con- tinue the interests they obtained in uniform will be strained to the ut- most when peace comes again, Mir Heininger declared.

New York, September 25. - tUP) The British radio quoted Pope Plus XII today as saying in an ad- dress broadcast from the Vatican that while there was much current talk of a new order the "task of the state remains to allow everyone to do his work in his own fashion and in his own surroundings.
 The British broadcast, recorded by United Press, was directed to German-occupied countries and Vicly- controlled France, whose populations are subject to increas- ing German demands for workers.
 In another broadcast last night, the British radio said, the Vatican radio attacked newspapers that tell lies they are told to tell instead of giving the news and truth"

BACCALAUREATE SERVICES

The NJ & M. baccalaureate SER
vices held Sunday evening at the
high school auditorium, was fairly
well attended. The sermon was
preached by Rev. ID. G. Holman,
pastor of the Main Street Church of
Christ, who took as the subject of
his sermon The Test of the Plumb
Line based on the eighth verse OF
the seventh chapter of Amos. The
sermon was good, practical one.
On firm foundation build your
lives with the material offered, in
spect your work and build by the
plumb line, which is held in the
hand of God, was the thought en-
phasized by REV. Holman.
Lives to be successful must meas
ure up to certain standards, and he
told the class that when they went
out into the world they will be
judged by the plumb line of public
opinion. The world will not accept
much that is shoddy, said the speak
er. Another point brought out
was JHdl GOu WOIhS largely luTOUSH
human agencies and it is His will
that we build a godly nation. Re-
sponsibility, the speaker said, will
cause people to GROW in strength,
and spoke of the pioneering neces-
sary after the war. In closing Rev.
Holman said ''The Great Architect
of the Universe will finally inspect
your lives. Gods plans are COM
plete and easily understood" To
the young men entering the service
he said to remember to Love Thy
Neighbor as Thyself," and related
his experience in the World war
when he was wounded, and the as
sistance given him by soldier.
Rev. C. A. Moore, pastor Of the
Malta Methodist church offered
prayer, and also pronounced the
benediction. The music included
orchestra selections. The girls
glee club sang Come Where the
Lilies Bloom and the girls quar-
tet-the Misses Mary Evelyn and
Marjorie Richey, and Marthalyn
and Phoebe Sears, sang two selec-
tions.
