Often a man new to the service, who in!
civilian life drank only an occasional!
boor or two, finds himself with buddies
for whom drinking bouts are a regular
evening : Pastime.
Not real drunks—just good nnturodj
characters who like to relax in a sudsy!

Since NATO not an inch of territory has been lost
in the Atlantic area. And by 'harirtg our obligations
this W-year watch has gost us less than a few months
of the cost of World War II.

PRAYER
lord Jesus, Thou hast known a mother's
love and tender care;
And Thou wilt hear, while for my own
mother most dear
I make this humble prayer*
Protect her life, I pray, who gave the
gift of life to me;
And nay she know, from day to day,
the deepening glow of joy that
comes from Thee*
Ah, hold her by the hand, as once her
hand held mine;
And though she may not understand
life's winding way,
Lead her in peace*divino*
I cannot pay ray debt for all the love
that she has given;
But Thou, love's Lord, wilt not forget
her due reward—
Bless her in Earth and Heaven...Van Dyke
