Ever Tj.rbch a pouter pigeon? He’s > hand
some bird, and he knows* it. He puffs out
his diest so for to crow 'ttentien to
hii'self that often he loses balance and
l one's on his hen A.
Ever watch so e servicemen in public?
They’re handsome birds in their tailored
blues or whites or garbardines, and they
know it. They seem to be telling the wo
rld at large: "Sharp, huh? be1re rough
■nd we’re tough and yoi civilians had
better remember it?"
iney seem to think tint their uniform
confers special privileges ant’ attention
They expect the best table in the res
taurant, the best sent in the house# If
they get this preferenti' 1 treatment—
from well-meaning people who sincerely
look up to men serving their country—
they take it for granted. The average
civilian,exposed to such arrogant strut
ting, is got to reflect tint the storm
troopers in Hitlers Germany behaved much
the same way. (cont top column 2)
You're proud ox your uniform. So are
I the people around you who don’t have uni
forms. Hany wore them years ago, however.
|It disposes them to go out of their way
! to help you, to s rve you, to make you
|feel welcome to their community.They like
to sec you looking sharp.
But they aren’t impressed by bully boys
—If you doubt it, ask' the rain’with years
of service behind him, the man who wears
rows of ribbons and campaign stars. You
won’t see him playing. ccck-of-the-walk.
He knows the way to win the respect of
I strangers -and hold it.. He’s the modest
jm^n, the tactful man—-never to big for
his uniform. (.,FFS)
CHAPLAIN’S 'CORNER ' .
by father doyle
Memorial day inevitable reminds us of
the triple .losses of arid. .?> II. Among
those tragedies oust be counter' the one
out of seven Americans who fail or’ emc-*
tienally and mentally in that c nflict.
This post month Columbia ’ University fin
ished a study on this subject. Two conclu
sions of this research claimed this: (l)
men with little education had an Ineffec
tiveness rate four ti es that of college
men. (2) Far more servicemen broke down
in reaction to military life in general
than under stress of actual combat.. .Prob
ing into the causes of this human waste,
the professors came up with lack of mo
tivation as the principal source of fail
ure.
The memory of these "ineffective sold
iers” should not be forgotten in jn age
[when the day to day demands of the Armed
Forces on its men are ."renter than ever.
The increased technology of warfare re
quires more "experts” at every level of
action. Less and less can room be found
for men who are not interested in better
ing their education and training. A
