Fr. Cunningham IdOlized By Uncle Sam'S Gallant Men Of
 The Sea
BY MAN ABOUT TOWN

AO wv
 Quenton ReynoldsllI Even though you might mt have heard him, when he gave that outstand- ing address at the Democratic national convention, you undoubt- edly have read some of those highly interesting articles, so many of which he has written about this war. He has been on all fronts. He should and does know what it is all about. I had the good fortune during the past few days of meeting one of those won- derful chaplaips of whom Mir. Reynolds talks and writes so glowingly. I refer to Lieutenant Commander Jim" Cunningham who was back with his folks on South View street, for a well de- served furlough.
 Much has been written about Father Cunningham. Scarcely a month goes by that he is not mentioned in one or more of our national magazines. After you talk with him for a short time, it is easy to understand why he is not only a tremendous favorite with the boys in the service, but with everyone with whom he comes in contact. Although he has the looks and bearing of a command ing ofiicer, you find yourself doing all the talking. He is such an ex- cellent listener that everybody, big or little, finds himself right at ease with him. Naturally his father Jim. ST., is quite proud of him, and his late mother would be too if she were still alive. His brother, Bill, who has done such a fine job for Cashin's Milk was much elated too. And he had every reason to be.
 So was Johnny" Fitzmaurice, the Mayors genial secretary, as he and Father Cunningham have al- ways been buddies. In fact he offi- ciated at Johns wedding. If Father Cunningham is the stand ard type of chaplain in this ter- rible mess. it is not surprising that Quenton Reynolds, and all the other correspondents pay them such remarkable tributes.
