Powers Of Faith

President Truman said yester-
day that in these trying times it
Is only through the heroic powers
which spring eternally from faith
can men hold firm and uncom-
promised their spiritual heritage
of freedom and the right to live
with hope"
In a letter to Charles E. Wilson,
chairman of the laymen's COM
mittee of the Religion in American
Life Effort, the President asserted
that no force can close in on that
freedom and hope as long as we
have faith in our imperishable
right to the peace of fellowship
with man and God"
Noting that the annual Religion
in American Life non-sectarian
program will be held through No
venber. President Truman said
the religious principles of all
faiths are imbedded deep in the
foundations of our nation We
can thank the faith of our fathers
for dedicating their labor and
their lives to the creation of this
land of freedom. We must hold
strong to that faith. Through
God, and through the religious in
stitutions which serve Him, we
shall hold strong in our historic
mission to work for a better world
Mr.. Truman echoed the appeal
of Religion in American Life that
all Americans attend and support
the church, chapel or synagogue
of their individual choice.

The big affair was held at the

pm. and attracted more than
1000 servicemen. Some 250-count
'em-250 beautiful girls" we're on
hand to serve as Junior hostesses
for the party.
Other Parties Planned.
The Legion is planning to hold
other big parties on Saturday
nights until they can move into

Tr. Bunch said negotiations
, vi l the Federal Government for
the use of the Belasco are pro-
ceiling "favorably" and appar-
en'ly the only thing holding up the

The party was great success.
For the benefit of the servicemen

marked the girls as hostesses and
as unmarried.
Senior hostesses, the wives of
Legion members, wore white
badges.
An orchestra was on hand and

dance hall. was packed through
out the party. Entertainers from
local night clubs dropped by dur
ing the evening to put on acts.
Prizes were given to holders of
lucky tickets. Plenty of food and
soft drinks were stacked on tables
in the food room"
The Legion almost failed to live
up to its promise of making the
servicemen happy at the party.
A crisis arose when Sergt. Francis
M. Bowers of the Andrews Air
Force Base, lost a button from
his jacket.
Not a needle or thread was in
sight but the Legion rose to the
occasion by sending out for the
required items and Sergt. Bowers
was soon back on the dance floor
He turned out to be a jitterbug.
Walter Morgan, District De-
partment commander, was at the
party seeing that everything went
along smoothly, as were all top
