Chinese with glasses. He spoke
good English. He shook hands

poral Thatcher came through
here about month ago. He told
me everything. The other boys

them"
| asked him to say that again.
He grinned. I'VE beat them.

lenged them and beat them by
two points. A wonderful game" ."
We leaned back in our chairs.
"Good Heavens" Davenport said
softly.
They carried US into another
patio al this stop and then 10 a
nice room upstairs in the building.

Catholic News
DepIores Nazi
immortality

BERN, Switzerland, March 81
The sexual immortality of Nazi youth
was condemned in a Catholic news
service release which published a
pastoral letter. 1t stated that Ger
man Catholic Bishops of Cologne
and Paderborne circulated the letter
and quoted the letter as saying
sexual violations are being con-
sidered virtue, thus destroying the
resistance of the spirit and restraint
of the conscience, consideration,
sympathy and justice which former
ly protected people from themselves.
Whoever places legitimate and IL
legitimate motherhood on the same
level, places a burden on the ideal
of motherhood and the value of
woman which does the worst pos
sible service to female youth"

PLAY ON EASTER

Easter morning hundreds of AM
crican soldiers stationed at isolated
pCs,a II Alaska will find church
S-lg-Gcs On that day a bit more
impressive because of the Easter
play to be presented by the Ameri-
can Red Cross.
Acting on a request from an
Army post in the Alaska area,
American Red Cross field directors
at Fort Lawton have planned the
Easter plays for the northern posts.
More and more spiritual comfort
is demanded by American fighting
men stationed where they, are faced
by the grim realities of war
The cooperation of volunteers at
the Seattle-King County Chapter
of American Red Cross was sought
by Field Director Albert Whale at
Fort Lawton and a suitable play
selected from a list checked by
Pest Chaplain Thomas J. Conroy
of the Fort. Chaplain Conroy re-
quested the opinion of the School
of Drama of the University of
Washington in choosing the play.
In a very short time the work
had been completed and the scripts,
sturdily wrapped. were sent by
plane tn Alaskan postS
And SO it happens, that on
Easter morning, in small churches
and chapels in various military
posts throughout the Territory,
soldiers will see and hear a SIM
