"CHAPLAIN’S CORNER"
"The parents of Jesus found Him in the
Temple, sitting in the midst of the doc-,
tors, hearing them and asking tiiem ques
tions, (ST. Luke ii, 46)«
j This child is the Eternal Wisdom, Allj
j light and knowledge come from Him, yet
i He remains seated humbly in the midst of
I the doctors. Let us wonder at such deep I
i humility and examine whether our learn- ;
| ing inspires us with pri.de and whether, j
j even in'society and in the exercise of |
I our functions, we carry not about us an i
i air of self-sufficiency displeasing to I
^everyone,8 Humility is the most fitting j
; background to erudition,
•j Jesus listens to the doctorss hearing j
; them. If we already know what is being.j
I said, yet should we listen attentively; j
I such condescension will edify those who {
! are speakings the contrary would create j
| annoyance. , j
i Jesus listens to the doctorss asking I
j them questions. So great is our vanity!
j and our knowledge so little,that we per- j
I ceive not how many things we are ignore j
! ant ofo If great acquirements are admir- I
j ed, it is because they are rare and of a j
I kind to which few people have either ti- j
| me or inclination to apply themselves, |
^The learning which is highest in the eye^
Rif the world is often that which is lea- \
\ st useful. Perhaps we are ignorant of :
! what it concerns us most to know, Let j
j us be fond of taking advice; we might j
! thereby avoid many a fault, j

"GOT A PROBLEM"?? j
Free legal assistance is available to I
servicemen at every military base in the j
world. According to military regulations«
a qualified legal officer is always re- 'j
ady and willing to advise you.
All too often a person with a legal !.
puzzle will try to solve it with hit or!
miss information from random sources,;. 1
The complexities of the law (which mys—'
tify serviceman and civilian alike) cantj
be clarified by one or a battery of ama- !
tour, or "Grardhouse," barristers. This!
kind of person merely confuses the issue \
despite a surface air of assuredness. I
Important documents, such as wills, i
power of attorney,or affidavits can best!
be drawn up by competent lawyers.
Before you seek help elsewhere,ignore j
your legal problems or take doubtful-j
action, check with your legal officer
He knows his stuff and you can‘t beat!

H. McElroy, in an appeal to servicemen j
and employes of the Armed Forces to in- j
crease purchases of US Savings Bonds,— 1
Said: !
’’The 1953 US Treasury Savings Bond i
Program is now underway, I urge all j
Department of Defense personnel to join j
in this program by investing some por- j
tion of their pay regularly is US Saving |
Bonds through payroll allotment.
It is gratifying to me that military \
and civilian members of - our - National j
Defense team are already investing more j
than a million dollars a day in US Sav- j
,ing Bonds» Through this high level of I
participation you-who man our national I
defenses are-setting•a splendid example j
for other Americans and are helping to j
maintain the sound national economy so j...
essential to our security position.”
