American Superiority

We getting fed up with these GIs over
seas who feel that they are superior to the rest
of the world just because they happen to be
Americans.
They look at the standards of living around
them, which are lower than the standards Of
living in Los Angeles or Des Moines because
the people have not been able to- enjoy our
opportunities of making money. And they
turn away in disgust rather than pity because
they feel that the hungry children, the crowd
ed homes without modern plumbing the dirty
streets and fly-specked food are not part of
their own little air-conditioned, OBLIGATED,
indirect-lighted world
To hell with these foreigners" they say.
Thank God am an American"
The GI has many reasons for thanking God
that he is an American, but those reasons are
bound up with his heritage of liberty, equality
and tolerance. They have nothing to do with
modern plumbing housing conditions, and
there is nothing in the Constitution of the
United States that makes an American a high
er type of human being than an African, Euro-
pean or Asiatic.
What is an American, anyway Does he
come from a special chosen race of people?
Or does he come from a mixture of millions
of Englishmen, lrishmen, Italians, Poles. Rus
slams. Armenians Germans Creeks Syrians
and more other natonalities than you can
mentiona Did these immigrants come to the
y. S. eating fried chicken, Southern style, and
apple pie and ice cream on the way over, and
when they landed did they move Immediately
into cheerful, roomy homes with hot and cold
running water? The fact is that most of them
came to America in ships that were filthy and
infested and then jammed in tenements which
not much better. 1t is also fact that
they brought with them as many religions as
nationalities and as many different customs
and ways of living. These are the people who
gave America the blood that it has today.
With that background. we should be the
last to judge man by his clothes, by his house
by what he eats.
Unless get rid of this strange and, as a
matter of fact, Hitler-like notion that our birth
place makes automatically good and wise
and unless we start appraisng people by what
they and what they can be instead of by
their appearance, never be partners
with the nations that trying to live at peace.

Will You Wont Me Then

In this battle that is growing very strong,
Darling, may be at your side before long.
My love for you is increasing all the time.
But there is little worry always my mind. -
Will you want if I'm crippled and weak2
When blindnes prevents my seeing you look sweet?
Will you want me if in my arms can't hold,
And crush you sweetly to thrill your soul?
Your thrilling letters read; they say
You will be waiting for your strong soldier.
What if return not the man of whom you Dream
Would that stop sitting by the Old Mill Stream2
You re always my mind and you re so dvine
With you behind me. could be soldier 50 fine
Tomorrow, my dear, when uniforms are at an end,
Tell me. sweetheart, will you me then?

Just a Thouqht"

When your mind is strong and your body is weak,
And you have blisters all your feet.
When it looks like the will go down,
And the best you give is ugly frown,
Don't get discouraged and don't grow slack,
Don't be the that always hangs back;
Just clinch your teeth and push to the end,
Even though it seems, you haven't a friend.
Life will get brighter if you fight and have faith.
There happier days coming, keep your pace;
Also be patient and stand up for your right.
For you demand it if you fight.
You may think of your loved when the going gets bad
All of the things they wanted, and never had
You may dream of the homeland you left so free,
But unless you fight, this can never be.

Now that fully know you do not care
| am bewilder'd d with my newest role
There the careless phrases to prepare
When friends inquire about my batter d soul.
Surely when tears yelling to my eyes
Then will the world declare loved too well
And if laugh away our paradise
My friends will watt me to ruddy hell
! will be silent then that you may turn
With that mysterious glamour in your glance
Back a finer lad who never learn
The fever and the chill Of our romance.
And when careless nod will show
How nothing hurts that happen'd long ago.

ILLEGAL DRUG
 FOUND AT BODY

Los Angeles, Oct. 5.-UP)-A bot- tie of sleeping medicine found be- side the body of Aimee Semple Mc- Emerson in an Oakland, Cal, hotel room, held the attention of state board of pharmacy agents today.
 John 4. Foley, secretary of the board, said the medicine in the bottle was Q powerful hypnotic, us- ually used as Q sedative.
 However, he said that the drug was combined with alcohol 1t many times had the effect of stimulating inspirational thoughts"
 Because the bottle bore no pre- scription number and no physicians name, as required by law, the board sought to find out how the evan gelist obtained the drug, Foley said. He said both of the evangelist's physicians denied prescribing the medicine.
 Evidently Mrs. McPherson had obtained the drug illegally-that is what we want to find out" he said.
 In an effort to find the source of the drug, Foley said he had -.r- ranged to interview Mrs. McPher- sons son and successor at Angelus Temple, Rolf McPherson.
 Meanwhile, tine cause of the re- nowned evangelist's death had not been determined. Autopsy surgeons and toxicologists failed to lind any cause and pathologists were con- tinuing their analysis of her vital organs.
 An inquest, scheduled for Oct. was postponed until Oct. 13 to await outcome of the analysis.
 Funeral services for the evangel- ist will be conducted at the temple Oct. 9 with interment at Forest Lawn.

School, c school for more than 200 children of officers and enlisted men. Meanwhile, he ably assisted the post chaplain with his services to the enlisted men and their fam- flies for nearly i6 years.
 From 1929 to 1889 he conducted religious srvices for guardhouse prisoners each Sunday afternoon in the YMCA. When citizens mill. taFy training courses were held at the post, Hodge conducted Protess tant services for the CMTC train- ees.
 Tn addition, the sergeant was . Bible class instructor and engaged in much hospital and charitable work,
 Not aiI of Hodges activities were confined to Fort Leavenworth, how- ever. He held the pastorate of two local churches, the Round Prairie Community Church for i0 years and the EaBton Methodist Church for eight years. Within the past year he took over an additional church, the Kickapoo, Kan, Methodist.
 Set 6 Mile Record
 No pastor could be loved or rec spected more than he has been by these congregations" Army offI- cials said.
 Hodge was always active in ath. ietics, especially during his first years ct Fort Leavenworth. He es- tablished record in 1920 in six mile distance race, running the course in 32 minutes. This record was chalked up during field day at the post, and SO far as is known, has never been broken.
 Hodge won the Kansas State sin- gle-wall handball championship in 1880 and successfully defended his title in 1881.
 The versatile sergeant was also post light heavyweight boxing champion in 1921 and as boxing in- Structor had classes Of nearly 200 men a year.
 Tn his retirement" officials say respectfully, the Army will lose a good soldier, but the church will gain a servant and Q leader"
 Hodge has two daughters, Doris and Dorothy, both married to ser- vicemen. He and his wife, Marie, will make their home in Leaven. worth.

Hodges Army career began in 1919 when he enlisted in the Army ct Indianapolis, Ind, shortly after Warld War I. He was first sta- toned ct Jefferson Barracks, Mo, for two months, and his next and last station in the Army was Fort LeavenWorth, where he spent over 24 years.
 The Wlry, friendly.faced soldier was retired by the Army because Of physical disability incurred while in service.
 At Fort Leavenworth Hodge was assigned as steward of the officers club, and helped build the club into one of the leading officers clubs in the Army. Tn this connection, of- flciais say, 1t may be said that he won the hearts Of both officers and their families alike.
 Knows Many Generals
 "He never spared himself to see that ell received the best service he could give" the Army said of Hodg- es, land he can boast of e speaking acquaintance with hundreds of high .ranking officers, many of whom are outstanding generals"
 Hodge has almost been an iTlsti- tution on the post since 1919. Dur- ing his long service, he was an ups lifting influence on many members of the post. For more than 20 years he was director of the religious education for the post Sunday
