Say what you will! Even think what you
will! If you are honestly critical you vdll do
this anyway. That is the kind of world we
want—the kind we are fighting to retain (or
to obtain). The very term “American” means
just this.
What has this to do with religion? Or, what
has religion got to do with this? Let me pre
sent a point of view.
There are many differences within the
Christian Church Universal which outwardly
express differences in man’s interpretation.
That is why we have so many denominations
within Christendom. But the greatest strength
that we have is that for which we all stand
unitedly together. There are really no differ
ences in the basic fundamentals that count.
All denominations, whatever their outward
signs and expressions, are conscious of one
primary effort for which we all work—God’s
moral law as the way of life for all mankind.
Some of us call this “The Kingdom of God,”
which is the universally accepted expression.
Let’s put this in a military terminology.
Most people have the erroneous belief that we
are all using the same ammunition but fire in
different directions. It would not take even an
amateur military tactician to quickly sense the
stupidity of such a maneuver. Of course some
of the guns might be pointed in the right di
rection but too few would hit that potential
target.
Let’s try a better system. We’ll use different
ammunition and fire in the same direction. We
will find that we must first have determined
our mark, but the chances of our hitting it are
much better.
That’s the way with religion. We may speak
or think what we like, but we are all conscious,
as fellow Christians, of the primary goal for
which we are all aiming—“The Kingdom of
God.”
New Cadet Regimental Officers
Named from 20th Battalion
Four members of the 20th Battalion have
been chosen as the new cadet regimental of
ficers. They are: Robert T. Hamilton, of
Montclair, N. J., regimental commander;
Ralph E. Rice, of New York City, regimental
sub-commander; D. R. Warren, of Beckley,
W. Va., regimental adjutant; and David G.
Davis, of Denver, Colo., regimental petty of
ficer.
Hamilton attended New York Military Aca
demy, where he lettered four years in football
and track and served as team captain in both
sports. He was in the U. S. Marine Corps for
two years before entering the V-5 program.
Rice attended New York University for one
and a half years before enlisting in the Navy.
He was city novice one-mile champ while at
New Dorp High School, N. Y., as well as A.
A. U. junior cross country champ in 1939.
Warren is well known to Pre-Flight person
nel for his high calibre vocalizations at station
Smokers and similar functions. He has per
formed on a number of CBS radio programs,
and was rated as Sk2c prior to becoming a
naval aviation cadet last February.
An ensign, D-V(S), for more than 11
months, Davis resigned his commission last
Feb. 18 in order to become a naval aviator and
fight in the air. He is a Phi Beta Kappa from
Princeton, from which he was graduated with
an A.B. degree in 1941. He captained the
Tiger track team and lettered three years in
that sport.
Navy Aircraft Carriers Ferry
2,500 Planes to Fighting Fronts
More than 2,500 fighting planes have been
transported to the world’s warfronts by air
craft carriers of the U. S. Navy, including the
USS Ho')'net, which launched the Tokyo raid
ers, the Navy Department announced recently.
Of this number, more than 1,000 were land-
plane fighters, which were lashed to the flight
and hangar decks of American carriers—both
the big, battle carriers and many converted
merchantmen. These planes took off from the
flight deck while the carriers were still hun
dreds of miles at sea and flew on to advanced
bases.
