Last year there was a wedding announced almost everyday, But this June is off to a most slow start. My editor, Margaret Foresman, suggested that the damp weathe~ might have something to do with it all. But! romance was never flooded out by our other rainy seasons. In fact if one is to believe “Rain,” with the Sadie Thompson angle, it is a sultry season in the tropics and semi-tropics. Could it be that girls are more career-minded and young men are awaiting the outcome of the Korean truce talks before tak- ing the jump? Jumping, by the by, was quite | a mark of spring (oops) these Jast few wet days with streets like the | Mississippi in flood. Susan Me- Avoy goes around wearing real Dutch sabots which are very con-| venient. Of wood, they can be re-| moved and the water bailed out’ by a simple tipping of the shoe, She has mastered the art of clum) | ing with no audible clump. Won- | der how Japanese sandals or clogs will be handled when Ed Gibson returns from the land of the Ris- ing Sun? As for me, I'll take pon- toons. GENERAL CURTIS LEMAY of the Air Force has a sizeable article in the recent issue of Na- tional Geographic magazine about how to survive in deserts, swamps, tundra or woodland coun- try if you are a downed airman. It is illustrated in full color and has vo do with the training of men who must survive under the most adverse conditions. One fact noted was that a flier’s best friend is his parachute. From it can be made slings, stretchers, tents, sig- nal strips, fish hooks, implements for camp work; snares for game, ete. It seems to me that Boy Scout training would stand such survival trainees in good stead. In- teresting note was the use of In- dian methods. . .the tepee shelter; the Apache snare for game which snaps the victim up in the air out of reach of animals who would grab the prey; knowledge of what plants, roots, leaves, berries are edible, and the good old smoke signal system.

Chaplains man Austin Green were hots for the breakfast which preceeded the business session and program, Included in the business of the morning was a discussion of the noisy celebrations which follow wedding ceremonies and often dis- turb church services being held on Wednesday and Friday ‘nights or on Sundays. It was the unanimous feeling that this kind of “small town stuff” should be regulated by the City Commission so as not to be a disturbing factor in our city streets. interesting and informing talk in which he set forth the duties and the program of the eight Naval Chaplains now stationed here. He listed the church services as they are scheduled for the different sta- tion areas. He termed the chap- lain’s work of counselling “the major job.” A number of such cases were cited in some detail, strictly “‘off the record.” Character guidance is now being stressed with a program of week- ly lectures each Wednesday night by Chaplain John Elliott, As new men come in letters are sent to the various churches where a re- ligious preference has been indi- cated. It was stated that if all these men attended church in the numbers that are possible, the lo- cal churches would not even be- gin to accomodate all. It was also suggested that each church might have a Sunday-dinner committee to see that men were invited into the homes of members of the con- gregation. The next regular meeting will be in October at the Ley Memor- ial Methodist Church.
