Our First President

This week we pause to pay tribute to the
life of great man, George Washington. one
who was our First President A citizen, first
in war; first in piece, and first in the hearts of
his countrymen. A man who is said to have
never told lie.
AS we pause, we wonder if our lives could
be so sublime If we as soldiers are so we'll
disciplined That discipline has to come
from within, because no teaching can give it to
U.s. Yes, Washington was man of good and
great discipline from childhood.
In pointing out men like George Washing
ton as our ideals we must never use poor judg-
ment in picturing their lives for Washington,
like William Blake the poet. would probably
say, "A truth that's told with bad intent, Beats
all the lies you can invent.
In setting George Washington as an ideal
we can do so wholeheartedly and forthrightly
for no other reason than the fact that his life
inspired such quotations as the following:
"A Pharos in the night, pillar in the dawn,
By his inspiring light may we fare on!'
Washington fixed star in the armament
of great names, shining without twinkling or
observation, with clear, beneficient light.
The Father of Country = We celebrate
Washington! We celebrate an Independent
Empire.
oh, Washington thou hero. patriot, sage,
Friend of all climes, and pride of every agel'

Non-Coms and Privotes

It's no idle ru11aor that the MOO has big
job We all have different choices of things.
The song j love, you may hate Lena Horne
may be my idea Of Pin Up Girl" Hazel
Scott may be yours. You love this girl for
certain qualities, and love that girl for others.
You would not have my girl at all, and
wouldn't have yours. Why? Because we are
different individuals and have different ideas.
This is what attracts your attention much
to Willie for a soldier companion, while
choose Nick.
Pvt. Bill just loves to be in the company of
NCOs. Sgt. Dick loves to be in the company
of privates. But he knows it is wrong He
fights against it all he can. But he loves pri-
Yates and his devotion rules him at times. And
thus he plays with the privates, and they do
not respect him as an MOO. So if you are
private, and have a MOO who loves to play
with you every now and then, he is only doing
it because he is kind. Don't take advantage
of his kindness by disrespecting him. You
know your duty and you know his, meet
him half way.

A Message from Service
Club No. |

In recent article, Thomas Mann named
Kindness as the most Distinguishing, winsome,
and fortunate character trait of American life
Away back in June, lo4l, Service Club No. |
adopted Kindness the key to creating happy
hours within its walls for Huachucas Service
Men and their women folk4 The adoption of
this policy was the result of many years of army
9 experience, and especially of two weary, lonely
years of young wifehood spent gazing at Hua-
chuca' S mountains. Those beautiful mountains
seemed like unsurmountable walls way back
then, even as they do to young folks today. In
reality, Huachuca, though mountainous iso-
lated spot, is place where every service man
may be part Of everything-and that means
many. many constructive happy and enjoyable
activities.
Now, newcomers, hurry over and take part in
Service Club activities! Let us share this Kind
ness with you
If you're broke, we have free movie once
a week. If you re lonely, we play cards every
night, and ever and anon, these games end with
little free snack. But, if some money gets on
the table during the game; better watch OUT
cause we'll confiscate that Like to shoot
little pool? Come on over. Just can't keep
still when good music startse Yes, sir, we can
fix that, too. Four dances week at two Serv-
ice Clubs and on four different nights.
AS you go about this weeks tasks, and take
part in Huachuca's kindly though serious war
duties, say with Service Club No. |:
Give me good digestion, Lord,
And also something to digest.
Give me healthy body, Lord,
With sense to keep it at its best.
Give me healthy mind Lord,
+ To keep the good and pure in sight,
Which seeing sin, is not appalled,,
But finds way to set it right.
Give me mind that is not bored,
That does not whmper, whine or sigh;
Don't let me worry overmuch
About the fussy thing called |.
Give me sense of humor, Lord;
Give me the grace to joke
To get some happiness from lfe
And pass it on to other folk.

We search the world for truth We Gull
The good, the true, the beautiful,
From craven stone and written scroll,
And all old flower-fields of the soul;
And, weary seekers of the best,
We come back laden from our quest,
To find that all the sages said
Is in the Book our mothers read.

which is SO per cent more than
the prewar total of Government

A large portion Of these employees,
1t was claimed, would not have to
use the Fourteenth Street Bridge,
coming and going from suburbs.
Comparing the two-bridge plan
with the single bridge, 1t was con-
tended, indicates that the former
would have a capacity considerably
greater than would be used, where
as the six lanes would prove either
equal Or very slightly less than the
maximum of traffic that would flow
to and from Virginia under any
circumstances.
Nobody has sought the Official
opinion Of the War Department in
the matter, but the Park and Plan

that it would be well to do 50 before

tween the bridge, or bridges, and
the memorial. Nor does the fine
arts group subscribe to the view of
the Planning Commission that a
"regrettable impression" would be
created by building two passenger
bridges across the Potomac paral-
leling the railroad bridge.
The single-bridge advocates, how
ever. have found a strong ally in
Secretary Ickes. Mr.. Ickes has writ
ten to the District Commissioners
to say he concurs in the views of
the two Federal groups which favor
a single bridge. He reminded them
that the Park Service holds title to
park lands that would be needed
for approaches to the two proposed
bridges. He simply asked, however
to be advised before bridge appro-
priations are sought from Congress
and before a final decision is
reached, so that he might have an
opportunity to present the views of
the Park Service.
Final Decision Long Way OFF.
While Capt. Whitehurst has
called for preliminary engineering
plans from outside consultants, the
final decision Is long way off and
the door is not closed. While op-
posing positions are at sharp issue,
the officials involved do not believe
these views are irreconcilable.
There is admitted merit to both
sides Of the question, but it has been
approached from different view
points. On one question, alone, all
sides are agreed. That is the in
advisability of single eight-traffic-
lane bridge.
The strongest point In favor OF
the Districts two-bridge plan is
the fact that the Public Roads Ad-
ministration is solidly behind it
Park and Planning officials admit
that If it came to a showdown Con-
gress no doubt would prefer to ac-
cept the opinion of the Federal
road experts.
The weight of evidence is so over
whelmingly in favor of two bridges,
Commissioner Thomas H. MacDon-
aid pointed out in correspondence
on the matter, that it would be
most .difncult, II not impossible, to
approve the single plan If SUBJ

well, replying to opposition party
leaders demands that he be re-
moved from parliamentary censor
ship inquiry committee, said to-
day that revelations which will place
the opposition party on the defen-
.sive will be made when the COM
mittee reports its findings.
He said the committees report
will deal with principles of CEN
sorship laid down when the oppo-
sition party, headed by former Prime
Minister Robert Menzies, was in
power.
Charges Called Stupid.
Mr.. Calwell asserted attempts by
Mr.. Menzies, Country Party Leader
A. w. Fadden and others to indict
him as chief defendant on the cues
ton Of the administrators publicity
censorship policy are "too stupid for
words"
Mr.. Menzies and Mr.. Fadden had
other reasons for suggesting his dis
missal from the committee than
the current dispute over censorship
involving six Australian daily news
papers, Mr.. Calwell said.
They knew what the (committee)
files contained and public reaction
to the revelations when made would
place them hopelessly on the de-
fensive," Mr.. Calwell said, "hence
their anxiety to try to distract pub
lie attention"
Hearing Tomorrow.
The Information Minister said all
allegations that he had "at any
time or In any way interfered with
the work Of publicity censorship are
viciously false"

Principal J. B. Hash, who is a
great believer in play for every
child, started a program of super
vised play last fall that has proven
most successful through the year
and has reached every child in the
school. The schedule has been so
arranged as to give every teach
er a, certain length of time each
day for supervised play and rec
reation with his or her particular
grade. Each group had a place
assigned on the school grounds
but on cloudy, rainy days games
were enjoyed in the gymnasium.
A fine attitude has been devel-
oped among the students and ma
ny problems of discipline usually
occurring at the recreation periods
have been almost eliminated.
Fewer injuries have occurred and
there has been little need for first
aid treatment during the entire
YEAR,
