FOR STEADFAsTNESS

Save us from slumping, o Lord!
Thou has given us a glorious vi
sion Of a brave new world, to be
won by service and sacrifice. May
that vision not fade, that high pur-
pose not fail, through these diff
cult days. Keep bright our ardor
for new manner of life for all
mankind. Let US not be enmeshed
in the criticism and schemes of
theorists; but enable us to hold
fast to those ideals which Thou
hast taught us. Grant us the cour-
age to expel from our hearts all
personal profit and prejudice and
partisanship; and to seek unswerv-
ingly Thy goals and Thy glory.
This we pray in the name Of the
unfaltering Christ. Amen. - W.

WITH FIFTH ARMY BEACH

ENTHUSIASTICALLY the two out
standing features of our handling
of supplies on this Fifth Army
beachhead have been the duck, -
or amphibious truck, and our sys-
tenn of carrying regular trucks
fully loaded aboard many ships
so they can be driven right off

Without the ducks some Of

All day long you see a thin.
black line of tiny boats moving
back and forth between shore and
ships at anchor a mile or two out.
They remind you Of ants at work.
These are ducks going con
stantly back and forth all the time,
day and night. There are hundreds
of them.
One day I stood on the beach
and hooked a ride on one of them.
