Troy High School has pledged It
self as whole to the task of buying
a jeep for the United States army.

morning to introduce the idea and
to make plans for the project Bob
Cripe, Board of Control president,
gave brief outline of the plan.
Mr.. James Mckay was called upon
to give further information. The
band and tWirlers performed IN two

There's A Great Day Coming
Flying Chaplain Expects Ser vicemen to Institute
 Religious Revival
By JOHN FRYE

CINCINNATI - The Flying Chaplain wouldn't be surprised if Americas sky pilots, soldiers and sailors helped give the na- ton a new and lasting religious nature, based on personal re- lations rather than organization after the war.
 Major James C. Crosson, su- pervising chaplain of the Army Air Forces' ferrying division, who is responsible for the spiritual welfare of the thousands of men delivering battle planes to battle fronts, puts 1t this way:
 Our chaplains are trying to make their relations with the men personal. It's part of the education of the chaplain, all of whom expect to return to the ministry after the war, to em- phasize the personal side rather than denominations and corpo- rate side.
 Deeper Religious Feeling
 When they all come back, the men, as result of their battle trials, will have a deeper relig- ious feeling. The chaplains will help invigorate the ministry be cause they'll know the value of personal contact - of pastoral calls-and they'll know what the servicemen went through and are thinking about"
 Major Crosson, former rector of St. Mary's Episcopal church in Buffalo, has been chaplain of the ferrying division from the start. They call him the Flying Chap lain" because he travels from di- vision headquarters here to posts scattered over the country.
 Although chaplains aren't sup posed to pilot a plane, he man. ages to hitch a ride wherever he has to go and admits he watched everything the pilot did so he'd know something about keeping the ship in the air "just in case.'
 Personal Attention
 Throughout his work, Major
