EUREKA
A TRIBUTE AND A CHALLENGE

Our newspapers and radios have
brought us thrilling stories recent
ly OF our invasion forces-of the
dangers, the successes, the bravery
of our loved ones under fire. Today
witnessed scene OF equal brav-
cry, though less spectacular; a
scene that, II our boys could know
it of their loved ones, would spur
them on more than any orders from
their c. o.
1t was the quiet, efficient work
Of young mother whose beloved
is in one of the most dangerous
spots in military life-a member of
group who 60 far beyond the en-
envy lines and are left to 60 ahead
or to decentralization. The scene
Z was in the midst Of group Of
women-a typical group of Club
women, well clothed, well fed, some
with hearts "over there some with
thoughts less distant. Were her
thoughts over there? Undoubtedly
every moment finds a prayer in
her heart but she is filling in the
time until she hears from her hus-
band with woodwork thtt will
bring comfort, warmth, possibly
life and, what is even more i'm
portant, sure knowledge that
America shares her love WITH q
country now in the deadly throes OF
war.
This young woman has lesson
for all Of US: by doing for those in
need, we lose the unbearablei part
OF waiting for word from our loved
ones. This young woman is truly
practicing the Life lived to teach
us how to forget self in service for
God and our fellowman. This young
woman is living so she may be
worthy Of sharing the life Of her
beloved when he returns. Am I?
Are you?
When my husband, my son or my
neighbors son returns, will ! have
to live in their reflected glory or
will I be able to hold my head high
and look all in the eye knowing
that l, too, had large part in con-
tributing to the comfort of SUI
fering humanity; Of helping to keep
our country the type Of homeland
they left-pr to improve it; of Civ
ing young America as nearly as pos
sible normal childhood; and of
praying and practicing the fact that
God has made of one blood all
nations of man" so that when this
conflict is over, we may be pre-
pared to enter into and live just
and righteous peace among all ma
tons If we share in this we will
find no time for bitterness and less
time for tears. Let us take inven-
tory of our life and begin, continue
and add service for our united aim
"a World at Peace.

THE PORT BATTALION
You've heard many story Of he
roes that are unsung,
You've even heard about the guy,
behind the guy with the gun.
You've heard about the people that
make our planes that fly.
But you've never heard about q
Port Battalion and I'm wonder
ing why.
Well we're the sailors In khiki. that
sounds funny to you l know,
But we're the guys who can sail q
ship but never seem TO 60.
We can tie all kinds of knots from
sheep shanks TO the bows
I'm really proud OF my outfit. be-
cause the work we do is fne.
We send the guns and shells to the
guys fighting on the front lines.
