dashed out of the cabin and to-

most knocked over litter. The
blanket-covered casualty was de-
lirious.
The moment the alarm was over,
the captain nudged me. "That girl
certainly had a fancy collection of
profanity" he said mordantly.
Shamefacedly, like one apologizing,

observation. And it hurt me to do
so.
"Do you know, Padre" said the
captain in a voice mellow with
sympathy, 81 am at last beginning

"Do you mean? r"
He evidently hadn't heard me
and went on: "Nor, for that matter
will you find there deacons or
saints. Strictly speaking, there is
no one there-not soul! Once in
the fox-hole, even the best of men

beast, that's all. And if this is of
any comfort to anybody, they're

Sunday afternoon, at the head

Speaking on the subject Work

manuscript of the highest intel

learn the. meaning of democracy
and stated that he had no
knowledge that it existed any
where in the world. He re-
ferred to the wiShful thinking
of some of our boys returning
home from foreign fields that
America is a place of hope,
equality and opportunity, not
unlike the Island of Utopia with
its perfect social order and set
ting of peace and love. The
speaker then compared the
idealistic program that guided
the thought and labor of every
one at the close of the middle
ages, with the complete absence
of reverence, culture and inspi-
ration of the present day. AS
an example Of not being able TO
work together in a democracy
the speaker dramatically re-
viewed the mistreatment and

The Gardiner auditorium at

by the representatives Of many
organizations last Wednesday, in
support of house bill 400 known
as the Fair Employment Prac-

from the CLIO, the local branch

Union, Churches, the Roxbury

opinion that the proponents
were not particularly impressive
in their direct remarks or in
answering questions put othem
by members of the committee
on State Administration, the
reason no doubt being that all

Of the F.EP.C. are simply of
