UNOFFICIAL CREETER. Ed
Modelski, Navy signalman, remem-
bers how glad he was to see the Statue
of Liberty when he sailed back from
the Pacific last March. Today, by
coincidence, he is stationed high up
in the statue with a searchlight, and
his Job is to flash out blinker signals
to incoming ships. You might call
him a sort of Navy traffic cop.
Entirely on his own, he adds
blinker message for each returning
troopship: Welcome home :. d.. We'll
come home" And if he has time, he
blinks out a greeting that is inscribed
on the Statue. Originally addressed
to those who sought the freedom of
America, it seems made-to-order for
returning servicemen: Send these.

nice story about a fustered new
father in Fort Worth, Texas. AS he
drove his wife to the hospital for the
happy event, she poured out l0l in
structions as to what he must do
about the house in her absence.
Next day the laundryman arrived
and was surprised to find this hastily
scribbled note tackled to the door:

After good deal of head-scratch-

out that the poor wretch meant

helping to finance the war, this money
has been diverted to the uses of this

'This makes one wonder: is NTEA
SO greatly concerned over the public

Dear Cap Bruce,
A challenge, not to you Cap, but to
any red blooded American that can
read, without being moved to tears.
The article recently written by Quen-
| tin Reynolds about the Aircraft Car
rier Franklin, and her gallant crew,
about men that would not give up,
that were all for one and one for all,
about a ship that would not sink, and
priest that was a hero, 1t. Com.
Joseph Timothy O'Callahan, by name.
But a minister" by action
Along with that challenge, occurs
this thought. Why is it not possible
for Dan M. Kelly of Montana, WVP,
and Con F. Kelly of New York, chair
man of the board of ACM Co. to go
and do like Chaplain O'Callahan?
They are of the same faith and of
the same national descent
Mayhap they are ont the same kind
of Irishmen, or perhap they, are not
just the same kind of men,
Princes and lords may flourish or
may fade,
A breath can made them as a breath
has made,
But bold peasantry, nations pride,
When once destroyed can never be
supplied"
Perhaps the chaplain came from
and still is, of the BOLD Peasantry"
and those others feel that they are
Princes"
Yours truly,
F. r REATI
