ceptual practice of democratic
discipline, as administered by
our country regimentation.
Improvement is ours only for
the slightest expenditure of ef-
fort under our present ideal condi-
tions of discipline.
A disciplined person is one whose
actions are controlled and integral
ed, who. is capable of aXerting his
efforts purposefully and with self
directed orderlineSs. Such discipline
is synonymous with the important
aspects of good adjustment. This
training involves independence OF
action, of insight into conduct, of
problem-solving attack on difficult
ties and improvement of oneself.
However, personal ends cannot be
attained except through selfiniti-
ated or abusive activity on the
part of the individual, by which he
learns to crafty his motives direct
". effectively and with due regard
for the personalities of others.
With discipline an individual
would be practically destroyed from
the exposure to the horrors and per-
sonal hardships of modern warfare.
Il is this departments aim to pre-
sent series of simple suggestive
self : improvement articles from
which one may not only become
better able to serve our country but
better adapt his personality for the
better world to come as result of
CIR inevitable victory.
We as individualists tend to think
only in terms of 81" so why not
commence with this overworked pro-
l,oun improving it and making a
better world for all. Instead of con-
csntrating and emphasizing the

Bridge, PinochIe, TAP cDencing
Are Now Taught at USO Club

In keeping with the present effort
to expand USO clubs and classes,
three new groups have been organ
lied at the USO center outside Fry
Gate.
Glasses in bridge and pinochle
have been inaugurated by Mrs. Alva
Bullock of the staff. The former
group meets on Tuesday evenings at
z o'clock, while the latter meets on
Mondays at the same hour,
Interest is particularly keen among
members of the bridge class which
includes Sgt. Hamilton; Cpls. Crook,
Ellison, SHILLING, Oldsmobile, Burks,
and Huffman and Pvt. jackson.
The bridge students are now mas
tering techniqueS of bidding and of
evaluating the strength of their
hands.
The Tap Dancing class, started
last Thursday evening BY Cpl. Pinky
Webster of the 9th Special Service
Company, bids fair to become one
of the most popular activities on the
club calendar.
AT the first session the tap artists
practiced fundamental steps which
are well known to beginners. Those
present exeeuted the time step
and learned to "break" with pre-
cision and finesse. Would-be hoof-
ers include Pvt Reames, Cpl. Crook,
and Misses Suzy Skinner and De-
Verne Lee.

let us improve Il" thus in turn erad-
icating the alleged misfortunes that
befall us
l. Avoid the use of 'I." If you do
not draw attention to yourself by
the repetitious use of this pronoun,
your outstanding qualities appear
( in greater relief.
2. Be known by what you genu-
inely like rather than by what you
dislike Liking is young, construc-
tive, positive and strong, while dis
liking suggests eccentricity, negativ
ism and weakening of the personal
ity.
8. Make certain your last sentence
of any converse ton is suggestive of
action and growth. You become
whatever you converse about in 9TH
ers' minds, SO do not be thought Of
as finished. ~
4. Avoid living in the past Too
much ren1iniscing not only promul-
gates self-worTy and self-pity but
makes you sound like has-been.
The future is one for purposeful
planning for vital people.
5. Develop sympathetic under
standing. Keep others minds cheer
fully on themselves and you will
become an invaluable personality
and friend to them.
6. Avoid talking about your men
tai and physical health. Adhering
to such dire policy invites pene-
trating evaluation of your faults,
weaknesses, appearance and state.
Z. Remain as graceful and con-
trolled as possible. The ease and
economy of flowing graceful move
ments are indicative of well-being,
youth, and makes your personality
magnetic one.
8. Make your voice hopeful, for
ward-looking, young, buoyant one.
Often people form opinions of you
from the fact that ones voice and
ones hair reflects the inner spirit.
9. Avoid aping youth or middle age.
Such action invites more attention
to your lack of adaptation to your
age level.

stress upon the insistance of happi-
ness, subjugating your troubles and
limitations. Moods of sadness draw
attention to the bad breaks" of
which you think you are the recipi-
ent. To be sure. one cannot assume
enthusiasm over the true sorrows,
losses and pains of life, but we can
turn determinedly toward the joys
of every day and future pleasures
freedom, everything and everyone
beautiful, laughter. the surge and
urge toward a. better world. Thus,

features of the past to haunt us in

One thing has been noticeable in
this company for quite some time
now is the tremendous increase in
the activity and morale of the men.
There is far less complaint and more
laughter. There could be several rea-
sons for this apparent change; but
two very prominent reasons are evil
dent.
First, for some few weeks now this
company has been under the, control
Of one 1t. Samuel A. Costello This
officer and company commander is
very well liked by the men and
through his straight forward man
ner of dealing with them, he has
inStilled in the company greater
feeling of responsibility and respect.
He is respected highly because his
word is as good as his life. He has
yet to fail the men and may the men
OF this company never fail him.
Morale is shown through the
friendly competitive spirit in an out
fit and within this company there
is plenty of competition. Strangely
enough it seems as though the third
platoon walks off with most of the
laurelS. This is compliment to the
efficiency of S/Sgt. Mondon and his
group of subordinate non-commis-
stoned officers.
Monday morning Feb %, II men
of the company left for Phoenix,
Ariz, on a convoy. They all arrived
safely in Phoenix after driving prac-
tically all day without any rest and
only two breaks. One in Tucson for
chow and the other for the fun of it.
The convoy was one of the best the
373rd has ever had and the success
of the drive caused a sincere feeling
of elation and contentmert among
the men. s
