Navy Yard Workers TO Be
Solicited By Local Group
In March OF Dimes Campaign
Revealed Today
by Chaplain SpOrrer
. Of Naval Station
And Jimmy Galloway

Contributions from civilian
workers at Key West Naval base
10 the March of Dimes will be
turned over to the local campaign
headquarters instead of being
>ooled with collections from ser
vice personnel as in the past
This was revealed today after
: consultation between 1t. Comd.
}. f. Sporrer. senior chaplain OF
the base, and James M. Galloway,
county March of Dimes campaign
director.
Chaplain Sporrcr, who IS in
charge of March Of Dimes work
at the naval base, told Galloway
he is of the opinion that all civil
an contributions should be cred
ted to the local headquarters.
Accordingly, Jesse J. Mont
gonery, supervisor of storage at
the naval station, has been named
overall campaign director for civ
ilian workers at naval facilities
here. He will appoint assistants
from various departments and
shops to aid him.
This action sets precedent
and demonstrates the fine spirit
Of cooperation the navy has al
ways evidenced" Galloway sta
ted. With contributions from
the navy yard workers being
channeled through local head
quarters, Monroe county stands a
much better chance kof equalln2
or lettering its record OF last
year.
Chaplain Sporrcr told the coun-
ty director he would seek permlS-
sion from national headquarters
of the polio foundation to lump
all naval base contributions and
'unnell them through local head
ruarters also.
Department heads of the naval
base drive will be announced
shortly. Many departments have
already started their annual
drive, Montgomery said.

by the exercise of force and
power. ..
We are tempted to believe that
as individuals we are powerleSs.
Forgetting that our leadership is
made up of individuals, men like
ourselves, who are influenced by
the thoughts and actions of 9TH
ers. Discounting the influence
that we as individuals possess, we
fail to use it.
While your individual sphere
of influence or mine may be
small, it nevertheless is part of d
gigantic pattern, Our thoughts
and actions, whether we admit it
or not, affect the thinking and
action of others.
If as we. 60 about our daily
tasks We clio so with Courage and
Faith in our hearts, if we spread
! good will and cheer, join with
our neighborS to advance the
welfare of all and conScentiouSly
do the best we can to perform
our given work to the best of our
ability, We will find many rough
spots on LIES highway have been
smoothed for US.
Fear and Doubt can only be
overcome by Faith and Courage.
Industry is imperative to pro-
gress. We will realize Abundance
only when we do our part faith
fully and we'll in its creation.
The Golden Rule is as effective
today as it ever was, and if we
| will use it to measure our
thoughts and actions from day to
day we will generate force SO
powerful that no evil can hold
against it.
We can, if we choose, talk our
selves into war or depression
Just as we can thinks ourSelevS
into illness and mental turmoil.
1t has been demonstrated that if
enough people stop an individual
on the street and tell him how
i'll he looks, even though he may
be in perfect health, it will not be
long before he is really sick.
BY the same token, if we go
about with long faces and talk
depression and hard times it will
not be long before we will find
ourselves up to our neCks in one
of our own making.
In Florida today we have many
problems that must be solved. If
as individuals we reach a deter
mination to find the answers and
! join with our friends and nCi"h-
borS in working them out rCt"in
ing our Faith and Courage, W.
can do So.
Most Of our difficulties arise
from distrust and miSundcr5tan !;
ING But there arc always some
points on which We all agree m J
if we use those points to start
with teckling tho others one ut
a time in spirit Of true cooper
alton, we can always work them
out
Let's face the New Year with
strong hearts and Il dctermina-
ton to find the answers to our
problems by working together in
confidence. unsclfishly, with the
welfare Of all as our object. If VIC
can do this We vii have nothing
to fear and l949 will indeed prove
a HAPPY year.
