The ATF, or Fleet Tug, was primarily
designed for long, heavy tows of ships
and dry dock sections and groups of bar
ges that require moving across the oce

sea worthy and powerful enough for heavy
towing they soon became an intergral pe-.i

generous cargo space added another use j

CHAPLAIN'S CORNER
I' It is an unfortunate fact that - the
world today- has glorified intemperance,
inpurity and immodesty, Through the new
spapers, ’ radio and television, men and
women are led to believe that ''’glamor16
sophistication, "Sex Appeal", the right
silhouette,the tight liquor are the only
things in life worth striving for. This
is an appeal to what is lowest in man,
his animal nature, That is why the vir
tue of temperance andits related virtues
are a necessity in the modern worlds Man
is made for God,not for the beastscMans
problen is to use the things of this wo
rld to lead him to God, He must be the
master of his animal nature, or he will
be its slave. Ho must subjue his body
for‘the food of his soul. He must conq
uer the world so that he may go to God,
Temperance is the virtue which makes
man ruler of himself and of the material
world in which he lives. The intemperate
man is aplaything in the grip of the de
basing forces of the material world. The
temperate man is the master of material
forces, and his self-control enables him
to use the world as a steppingstone to
G.od, The temperate man finds happiness
through rational self-control,
