Letter to the Base

The Recreation Department would
like to try to explain why there are
some poor or Glass B pictures shown
at the station theater.
The station theater schedule 5,c;-
c1udac ra..-----xOvICo d WeeK-Of 800
a year Hollywood curtailed pro-
duction OF movies to approximately
$50 pictures a year. The obvious
conclusion is that they cannot book
365 new pictures a year, when they
only make $50. Therefore, the ex-
ira days must be filled in either by
old reliables or by second grade pic
lures. We would like to point out
that one of the best civilian theaters
in town books only two new pictures
a week against the seven we book,
and they occasionally have bad pic
lures. We offer the alternative. if
there is enough feeling for it we
can book the pictures for two DAYS
instead OF one, thus eliminate some
of the poor pictures.
Any constructive suggestions as
to the type of picture or the num-
ber Of bookings week will be well
come by the Recreation Depart
ment.

Curiosity Value

Some years ago a man hired the
opera house in a small PENNSYLVANIA
town for one night, but engaged
no usherS or other staff. About a
month before the date for which he
had rented the hall, he put a large
sign on the most prominent bill
board in town, stating in huge let
ters: HE IS COMING"
A week before the fateful night.
this was replaced by: HE WILL
BE AT THE OPERA HOUSE ON
OCTOBER 31!' The day before the
event there was the simple legend:
HE IS HERE!" The following
morning: HE WILL BE AT THE
OPERA HOUSE TONIGHT AT
2030!"

individual is personally responsible
and upon the attainment Of which
his salvation depends.
AS true and loyal Americans, we
proclaim the common necessity of
the defense of our beloved country.
We shall never permit her to be
enSlaved, nor see the sacred heri-
tage of liberty or the democratic
forms of government shorn from
her. The only way to preserve our
country strong and free, the fun
damental basis of all victory, is the
upbuilding of the citizen as an in
dividual, as a person who knows
God and keeps Gods command
mentS. This is the best contribu-
ton that each of us can make to
the winning of the war, the VIM
ming Of a truly lasting peace, and
the gaining Of true liberties for all
peoples.
Toward the attainment of the
above and in conclusion, offer you
a prayer attributed to the great
st. Francis of ASSN:
Lord, make me an instrument of
Thy peace
Where there is hatred-let me sow
love.
Where there is injury
Where there is doubt-faith.
Where there is despair-hope.
Where there is darkness-light.
Where there is sadness-joy.
o Divine Master, grant that I may
not so much seek
To be consoled-as to console.
To be understood to UNDER
stand,
To be loved-as to love.
For
1t is in giving-that we receive;
1t is in pardoning-that we are
pardoned;
| 1t is in dying-that we are horn
to eternal life.

Hercules and Juno

When Hercules made God and received into
Heaven, his first greeting for Juno.
All the Gods in Heaven astounded.
"What! Your worst enemy first and most profuse-
ly?" they called at him.
"None other" he replied it her persecution and
disbelief in that gave the opportunities whereby
was able to my place in Heaven"
The Gods recognized wisdom Juno became friend.

We. Americans today fight not
only for human values but also for
those that are divine. AS we pause
to glance back over our past we
must admit that it has not been
unsullied. In the pursuit of our
inalilenable rights to life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness" we
have certainly exaggerated the
pursuit of happiness" and distorted
its meaning. Our lives all too often
have been selfish lives and our in
terpretations of liberty have too
often unjuStly encroached on the
liberties of others. But despite. our
past weaknesses, Americas contem-
porary position for international
rectitude, justice, and charity is un-
paralleled in history.
From our foerfathers we received
a human charter that has certainly
a divine sanction and implies a di-
vine destiny. 1t is an America thus
consecrated that we wish to pre-
serve on this earth. We place our
patriotism on the strong base OF
religion. For us the love Of country
is not a house built on the shifting
sands Of revolutionary change, but
rather a house built on the rock
that is God.
Individual characters are the COM
ponent parts of national character;
therefore, if America is to win the
peace after this War, we as individ-
uals will have a great share in it.
st. Paul gives us the formula for
victory 1t must be achieved in
Christ; we must put on Christ
We cannot possibly hope to achieve
the victory of peace for our fellow
men until we as individuals have

Rex Sunderland
 Is Leaving Soon To Get Big Ones"

When Rex Sunderland, popular clerk at the Gastineau Hotel and angler extraordinary returns hi S weekend from fishing trip to Lake Florence, there will be quite a num- Der of the sportsman's friends who will be anxiously awaiting his re- turn.
 Sunderland, who has gained quite an enviable reputation for himself in these parts as an angler who rates second to none, will leave Sat urday morning for his favorite fish ing grounds together with several companions Plans have been made to charter a plane.
 The lanky hotelman is planning quite a fishing expedition and he hinted to a newsman that he was really going after the big boys"
 Sunderland said that he was more than optimistic about the results of this proposed trip and expressed an opinion that the plane undoubtedly would be unable to handle the heavy load of fish that would be caught" and that it would be neces- sary for the party to leave a score of the "big boys" behind
 Things were rather dull yesterday afternoon in the lobby of the Gas tineau. Sitting comfortably on one of the cushioned cairs, Sunderland was in rather reminiscent mood as he spoke about some of the "big boys he caught in days goneby, and, of course, about the inevitable ones that got away At this juncture of the. sportsman's "reminiscences, .sev- eral of his friends who were sitting about the lobby elevated their eye brows. Not that they were dis inclined to believe the authenticity of some of MT Sunderland's fish ing exploits, but because they seem ed quite incredible indeed.
