Early in the morning Of Feb
ruary 8. 1943, the Army Troop
Transport S. S. Dorc lester,
headed for Europe, was torpe-
doed in the icy waters of the At
tantic, so miles off Greenland.
The ship began to sink imme-
diately:: Some of the men scram-
bled into lifeboats, others strap
ped on life jackets and leaped
into the sea.
Four Army chaplains aboard
made their way on deck and
went among the confused, fear
stricken men. encouraging them
to abandon ship, helping them
into the boats and life jackets.
The four stopd together on the
forward deck, handing out life
belts from a box. When the box
was empty, each chaplain in
turn removed his own precious
life jacket and gave it to a man
without one.
Voices Raised in Prayer.
AS the ship went down by the
bow, the men in the water saw
the chaplains link arms and raise
their voices in prayer. They were
still on the deck together, arms
linked and praying, when the
groaning ship made her final
plunge.
The chaplains, a Catholic
priest, a Jewish rabbi and two
Protestant ministers, were later
awarded the Distinguished 1Serv-
ice Cross for their "extraordi-
nary heroism and devotion"
The event. called "one Of the
most noble deeds of the war" is

of the Army chaplaincy, but it
is not an isolated one.

Chaplains have served in every

troops have taken part. During
World War I, 1883 chaplains
were commissioned. During g
World War II, 1896 chaplains
served on active duty.

Another is presumed dead.

But first the beauties had a

carried on the boardwalk in cars
and floats. they were drenched
by a thundershower.
Thoroughly soaked. the girls
kept smiling and waving to the

of march increased the tempo Of

sped by the crowd.
The downpour made things
somewhat difficult for q sweet

rode in the parade as q pageant
guest.
She was wearing a beaded In
dian costume. The colors Of the
beads ran. Her costume began
to come apart in spots. Mary

The picket, Violet Fuchs of

While Violet picketed, Dorothy

the birth of his first son,
Robert Todd, he pursued his,
studies even more vigorously.
Every Sunday morning
Lincoln would bundle the
baby into a wagon and take
him for a ride. In his free
hand. he would hold a book,
which he read as he walked.
One Sunday, Lincoln be-
came so engrossed in the
volume that he did not no
tice that the baby had fallen
out of the wagon.
His wife Mary, returning
from church. came upon
him at this moment. The

The heart has been called a
pump, and it really does pump
blood around and around. Fresh
blood passes away from the heart
in arteries, and used" blood
goes back toward the heart
through veins. Each beat marks

A scientist has figured out the
