Father ScuIIy Again Makes
Headlines for Splendid
Work Overeas

Jack Smith, columnist of Times
Square in the New York Daily
News pays special tribute to chap
lain, Rev. Richard Scully of New
Britain, who has been a frequent
visitor to this city. Father Scully is
at the present time somewhere on
one of those islands way out in
the South Pacific forming a soft
ball league for our boys who like
to play call between war games"
Columnist Smith goes on to say
that Father Scully was No. ! man
on the island. The fellows would
have elected him king or president
or anything he wanted. He was just
like one of the boys and he couldn't
do enough for them. You'd see him
all over the island making the
rounds in his jeep. Sometimes you'd
see him arriving toward the ball field
with a rake sticking out of the
back seat. He used to rake the field
and he'd get flour from the COM
missary to paint the foul lines. He
was always going to the hospital
to visit the sick fellows. He'd take
care of their mail, get them books
or magazines and do all kinds of
odd jobs for them. remember one
night he came to hear confessions
where we we're stationed, on the top
of a mountain, cut off from every
thing. There ought to be a monu-
ment erected to him after the wal
for all he's done for the boys. They
should erect it right in Times
Square"

He said that just as Moses, Amos,

Christians today will be more sue
cessful if they have a consciousness
of the privileges and opportunities
that are theirs as servants of God.
