Morale

Much has been said by Army Officers psy~
biologists and interested clergymen about
what factors most influence the soldiers be-
havior in the Army and about what elements
must be provided to mold that behavior into
the most acceptable form. Thousands of dol
lars spent in constructing USO and Red
Cross centers organizing Special Services, and
in various ways smoothing out the rough spots
in this experience which has been with man for
untold generations.
Over and above the maze of human inter-
course, however lies the lofty perch of the
opher-realist, who like anyone else is sur
rounded by everyday occurrences, but who at
the same time lifts his gaze beyond the imme-
diate and imminent into the realm of future
memory where Army experience passes in
review midst an endless array of events
Not without a certain amount of nostalgia will
those gruelling days on KIP, Rifle Marksman-
ship, Interior Guard Duty, and Scouting and
Patrolling all take their places in the halls of
Remembrance Powerful influences of today
sometimes become the vaguely remembered
names and dimly perceived outlines of tomor-
row; station, rank and position made into the
labyrinth of organizational technique, and the
forfeiture of accustomed freedom just another
stopping place.
Where does it all lead? -.
1t all pieces together to become the fabric of :
life we'll lived . to shape a deep rooted
philosophy of Life and Death and all between;
to enhance the Remembrance of things Past
- and to strengthen the foundation of new
organizational patterns which must meet great~'
or, severer tests Of attachment and devotion.
Habits of thought and reaction prac-
ticed in little, individual instances become in
tegrated into strong, purposeful whole which
must resist the forces of tragedy, and achieve
mastery of Death itself.
That is Morale.

Training Is q Natter Of
Life and Death

Everyone has heard men boast of being old
soldiers who can't hit the canvas Of target
at 200 yards and who can't hike ten miles with
out falling out of formation. They are mistak-
in their pseudonyms. They aren't sol
diers at all. They should properly call them
selves 'GI Jodeys' or recruits.
The difference in soldier and recruit is
not difference in the time which one has been
in the army. but difference in what one has
LEARNED and BECOME, since he has been
in the army.
A soldier, be he only finished with basic
training, is one who, through training, has
equipped himself to meet any eventuality and
to cope with it. A recruit, on the other hand,
cope with of the military problems
with which he may be faced.
Training, both physical and mental, causes
the difference. The well-trained soldier knows
what to do and is able to do it. The ill-trained
one doesn't know what to do and if he did
know, wouldn't have the physical ability to
do it.
Which one do you think has the better
chance of survival in areas where death strikes
on land and from the ar9
With the training program in Sou 1922 in
full swing, good advice to every Gil on the
Post is to get in that swing and learn the
things which you don't know

stamina might save your life in a tough spot

build up stamina by training

March Wind

Respect

There are certain forms of respect due tor
the lowest of animals-let alone the respect we
should have for each other. Because Jim is
your best friend does not that you
should call him anything, and prowl through
his personal property anytime you wish. Just
because he is good to.you, does not mean you
should impose on his good nature by too freely
borrowing his belongings, and asking him to
do things which you know are against his will.
The thing to remember is No matter how good
a man is, you can become bothersome to him,
and thus ruin good friendship, plus faith lost
in his fellow men,

Boy Scouts To
Seek Funds For
New Camp Site
Linstead' No Longer Avail
able To Baltimore Area
Scouts

Boy Scouts of the Baltimore Area
Council will seek 100000 in pub
lie subscriptions to purchase and
finance an adequate Scout camp, it
was announced by DIR. J. M. T. Fin
ney, Jr., president of the council.
For the past rs years. DIR. Finney
said, Camp Linstead, on the Severn
river, has been available to local
Scouts through the generosity of
the late Francis G. and Henry G..
Riggs. Due to their deaths, how
ever, the lease on the property,
which expires March 81, 1915, can
not be renewed.
Special permission for the cam
paign has been granted by the exc
cutive committee of the Community
Fund, of which the Scout Council
is member agency.
1t was pointed out by w. Wallace
Lanahan, fund president, that gifts
to the Baltimore War and Com
munity Fund can be used by men,
Der agencies for operating expenses
only. Funds for capital expenses
must be raised through separate
appeals or requests.
'The need for a new Boy Scout
camp has been clearly demonstrat-
ed" Mr.. Lanahan said. 1.-TWO years
ago a survey made by the Balti-
more Council of Social Agencies
pointed out that the present
camping facilities of the Baltimore
Area Council of Scouts are made
quate both in respect to the mum.
Der of boys that can be served and
from the point of view of the type
of camping opportunities that are
available.
According to this survey, a
solicitation by the Boy Scouts Of
gifts and requests for the purpose
of building up a trust fund to ac-
quire camping facilities for the
Scouts in this area is wise from
the point of view of the camping
needs of the community"
The campaign will start about
the middle of May and is sched-
uled to close about month later.
Headquarters have already been
opened at One North Calvert St,
the quarters regularly used for the
appeals of the Community Fund
and the Red Cross.
In announcing the campaign yes
terday, DIR. Finney stressed the fact
that Baltimore is the only major
city of the United States that does
not provide an adequate camp for
its Boy Scouts.
"There are at this time," he said,
$500 Scouts in the Baltimore
Area Council, territory which in
cludes Anne Arundel. Baltimore,
Carroll, Hartford and Howard
Counties, in addition to Baltimore
City. Cities comparable to Balti'
more in population have Scout en-
rollments from 10000 to $4,000
The Scout program for this area
is based on plan of securing a
total enrolment of 1880 scouts
within the next five years.
"Camp Linstead, the present en-
campment, has been unable to ac-
commodate more than 900 Scouts
during a camping season, and it is
hoped that the new camp will be
large enough and have facilities tc
care for at least 5000 campers per
season.
mo definite site has yet beer
selected, but sites under considera-
ton range from 1900 to 1900
acres"

Uncle Ruy's Corner

Nine weeks ago I published letters
from readers who saw the Great
Comet of 1882. Since then I have
received still other letters, and they
make me feel, more than ever, that
I missed something by not being
alive 81 years ago. One of the very
fine letters which I have saved in
my files is from H. M. Whitcomb,
who writes:
IT saw that wonderful comet in
1882. and wish to say that it is
as vivid in my mind as II 1t had
been yesterday. The mere mention
of the name comet always brings
to mind that vision. Until / read
your first mention of it, I never
knew what name was applied to 1t.
II was 7 years old when saw this
comet, and how 1t looked no one
could understand, or hardly believe,
who had not actually seen it. AS
recall, it was right overhead, point
ing to the east, and the long, spread
ing tail extended westward across
the sky like long streak of white
cloud. never expect to see such
sight again in my life.'
Mrs. C. Blount tells me she was
livingsi in a suburb of Philadelphia
when the Great Comet of 1882
appeared.
"At that time" she writes, II was
II years old, and my folks would get
my sister and me up at 4 o'clock in
the morning to see It,"
Theodore Bengel sends me a dia-
gram of the comet with the head in
the east and the tail trailing far to
the west, about half way across the
sky.
Miss Edith Miner tells how, as
little child. she crept from bed to
stand beside her mother and look at
this comet. She speaks of it as "the
Illuminated fish," which is an inter-
esting name for it. 1t did have
divided, fishlike tail
w. A. Showalter says, II was then
boy in the Shenandoah Valley OF
old Virginia" and adds that he was
in the pasture getting up the live
stock when he saw the comet. 1T
somewhat chilled me-" he says, but
soon recovered, since I had read
about such things"
Another reader says, "The light of
that comet was SO bright that +
could have used it to read your
column" People have been able to
read by the light of the full moon,
though it is strain on the eyes.
In this case, it may be that, viewed
with "the first streaks of dawn" the
comet seemed to give more light
than it actually did.
