7OO-Foot hort-Snorter Roll
Proves Army Man Saw World
Sergeant Also Proud
Of l67 Foreign Bills
Collected in Travels

TISergt. John Gillen carries
around tangible evidence that yor
can "join the Army and see the
world"
The evidence is a "short-snorter'
roll 100 feet long with 167 foreign
bills. Army recruiters thought the
roll was good enough to bring Sergt
Gillen here from Panama as a guest
of the recruiting Office.
The "short-snorter" roll was ac-
cumulated during Sergt. Gillen's
travels across the Atlantic and Pa.
cific Oceans, Black and Red Seas
and the Caribbean Sea.
Sergt. Gillen began collecting cur.
rency of the countries he visited ir
December, 1912, two years after he
joined the Army. As a wartime
liaison officer of the Air Service
Command, he was assigned to fly te
all overseas air bases on AAF sup
ply nissions-an ideal way to col.
flect foreign bills.
Since the war, he has been sta
toned in Panama, with side trips
through Central and South Amer.

Der of Latin American bills to his
collection, he has contented himself
during his nontraveling days with
getting priced collection of auto
graphs on his bills.

Fund Drive Extended
By Arlington Hospital ,
With 80 Per Cent 10 Go

Arlington Hospitals campaign for
SAT 900, which was scheduled to end
yesterday, has been extended in
definitely, with less than 20 per cent
OF the goal collected.
John F. Phelan, director of the
drive, announced last week that
acceptance of patients entering the
hospital under certain plans would
have to be discontinued unless suf- :
flcient funds to make up the loss
incurred on such patients were
made available.
Mr.. Phelan said collections for
the three weeks that the campaign
has run total $8,500 He said that
response to recent newspaper pub
licity on the slow progress of the
drive has been so encouraging that
we are extending the drive in order
to enable those of our workers who
have not been able to complete their
assignments to do so.
eve hope that Arlington resi-
dents who, for some reason, have
not been solicited for a donation to
Arlington Hospital, will contribute
to the drive when they realize the
gravity of the consequences to the
community If the campaign fails"
Mr.. Phelan declared.
If sufficient funds are not real
lied the hospital will cease to ac-
cept patients entering under the
Virginia Blue Cross plan or Com
munity Chest Federation and Fair
fax County welfare funds.
Mr.. Phelan said this would be "a
very serious matter" He asserted
that loss on patients admitted un-
der the three plans for the first four
months of this year was $12,7O4.

CONSPICUOUS gold "N' each varsity

the only entree for the evenings
crowning social event.
Tables were placed on floats by
the dock and strings of Chinese

One of the proudest middies there

basketball team and one of the

Not only had he won the Thomp-

him a special tribute for individual
prowess.
Many of the athletes had the
cherished star in their letters that

June Week traditions. Up to 1880
varsity athletes celebrated with a

on crashing past an Army tackle or
tying up a rival on the wrestling
mat got romantic notions.

THE WORLD MARCHES ON

Jmnrovement follows improvement IN
| all lines of endeavor. Throughout the cen
turtles the machine gradually has been DO
mo labor thai Heretofore had been done
by man.
In good many instances, installation
of improvements have been protested by
laborers. who declared machine It o
| the bread out of their mouths" The cotton
gin invention was decried, and in England,
when machine was perfected to do weav-
ing. operators of the oldtime shuttle re-
sorted to rioting to try to force the govern
ment 70 prohibit the use of the machine.
But in that and other cases the world con-
tinued to march on.
Laborers in practically every field of
endeavor came to learn that every new in
vention in the long run resulted in indus
trial expansion which helped them as we'll
as the consumers. And so it will be with
the new tipping process that was explained
in The Citizen on Thursday by Russell Kay
in his column, Too Late to Classify.
He predicts that, in the next five to 10
years. newspapers will be published with
out the services of printers and linotype
operators.
AS long ago as IA years The Literary
Digest, during strike of the Typograph-
ical Union in New York, printed an issue
from typewriter type" The system was
crude then, and there was much difficulty
in getting the lines flush on the right side,
facing the operator. But that difficulty has
been obvated by this latest process, and
experiments have demonstrated that it is
feasible to print a newspaper of any size
much quicker and at much less cost than
is possible with the present system.
The first paper, under the new system,
was printed in Florida, and Kay said that
arrangements are being made to extend
the system. The oldtime compositor growl-
ed when the linotype was born, but he
learned that it eventually helped him in
the long run, and so will this new inven-
ton which threatens to outmode the limo
type.

HOLIDAY LOGISTICS

America is big coutry. Her people
are chronic travellers. During the summer
holidays. family cars by the millions roll
from coast to coast.
Recently a driver on a western high
way, in three-hour period, encountered
cars from twenty-five states-and he miss
ed identifying a number of foreign IL
censes. Jalopies, hot rods, and limOusines,
many festooned with trailers, jockeyed for
position on the straightaways. Gas, oil and
tires were consumed with lavish album
dance. No one gave thought to the next
tank OF fuel. Service stations were almost
as numerous as the leaves on the trees.
The shining sedan from New York had
only to pull up to the nearest pump for
few seconds and then be on its way
again, after filling up with the same type
of fuel it used in its home state.
How many of us who drive Americas
thirty million autos stop to think of
the staggering logistcal problem W h
must be solved by strategists in the oil in
dustry who are responsible for keeping us
happily on wheels? Supplying fast NOV
ing ARMY Is d ltdI requiring SIcdI Shlll-
but think of millions of vacationsts using
more gas than an army, moving in response
to personal whims rather than prearrang-
ed orders!
Miraculously, everyone seems to be
able to get where they are going In some
manner the gas pumps have been kept full,
thanks to the oil men behind the men at
the service stations.

THE NON-CHURCH COER

There are individuals in every COM
munity, including Key West, who take
pride in their aloofness from organized
religion although fully conscious of some
very definite beliefs.
We have no criticism of this attitude
( it represents real independence and the
inability to give acquiescence to the tenets
OF any available church. When it is based
on conviction that the Individual is not
good enough to belong to any church, we
think the man or woman is making a mis-
take, even though we recognize the pro-
vocation that comes from the church
members who are always ready to tell ev-
erybOdy else what to do and how and when
to do it.
Ii all of us would frankly admit our
own imperfect nature and realize that or
gahized religion is, at best, only human
instrument to save human beings and if
all church members, however sanctified
they may consider themselves, would ex-
hibit greater tolerance to others, the way
would be open to greater growth of church
membership.
truth of the matter, the failure of some
individuals to go to, and belong to, some
church where distinct personal and social
GAINS can be secured, is not to be blamed
ehtirely on the absent individual. This
thought might sound like treason to some
ueVout readers, but a little thinking on
the subject by responsible church leaders
might bring results.

All the factual evidence indicates that
the American people prefer the publicly
regulated, heavily-taxed business-managed
utility companies to the unregulated, tax

almost entirely political demand exerted
