Arendt Chaplain Corps, USN Flag Day, June 14, 1943, has been proclaim ed by the President as an occasion for honor ing all the flags of all the United Nations. In keeping with the special significance of Flag Day next Monday, it is fitting to reprint here “A Prayer for the United Nations” writ ten by the late Stephen Vincent Benet. God of the free, we pledge our hearts and our lives today to the cause of all free man kind. Grant us victory over the tyrants who would enslave all free men and nations. Grant us faith and understanding to cherish all those who fight for freedom as if they were our brothers. Grant us brotherhood in hope and union, not only for the space of this bitter war, but for the days to come which shall and must unite all the children of the earth. Our earth is but a small star in the great universe. Yet of it we can mxike, if we choose, a planet unvexed by war, untroubled by hun ger or fear, undivided by senseless distinctions of race, color, or theory. Grant us the courage and foreseeing to begin this task today that our children and our children's children may be proud of the name of mxin. Yet most of all grant us brotherhood, not only for this day but for all our years—a brotherhood not of words hut of acts and deeds. We are all of us children of earth—grant us that simple knowledge. If our brothers are oppressed, then we are oppressed. If they hunger, we hunger. If their freedom is taken away our freedom is not secure. Grant us a common faith that man shall know bread and peace—that he shall know justice and right eousness, freedom and security, an eqvxil op portunity and an eqwal chance to do his best, not only in our own lands, but throughout the world. And in that faith let us march toward the clean world our hands can make. Amen. — 'duster Bits— “Now, you pronounce mine!” Naval Avia tion Cadet Herach Hovagim Der Hovsepian, formerly of West Medford, Mass., asked Cadet Leo Francis Kayarian, formerly of Abington, Mass., when the two met on the drill field re cently. Both boys are of Armenian extraction. Der Hovsepian sang with Dick Jurgens orchestra in Boston, and was also a church soloist. He played percussion instruments in the high school band, and was auditioned by Richard Crooks. Kayarian was quite an athlete having won honors in track at Abington and two first place cups at the Armenian Youth Federation Olympics at New Briton, Conn. and Provid ence, R. I. Besides being fast on his feet, Kayarian can also shuffle them. He was un decided between a career as a professional dancer or a priest before entering Naval Aviation. From studying ancient history to making modern history is the change the war has brought to Naval Aviation Cadet Melvin Pol lard, of 23 11, formerly of Dorchester, Mass. Cadet Pollard, a graduate of Harvard in 1941, has as his major hobby “archaeology.” !J: * * Disregarding the long-time rivalry of the two schools Cadet Philip Holt Lowry, 23, L-1, formerly of Greehwich, Conn., calmly admits being an alumnus of both Princeton and Yale. He received his A.B. in 1939 and his M.A. in 1942. His hobbies are flying and mountain climbing. He comes of a fighting family. His uncle, Capt. G. M. Lowry, USNR, is in Opera tions, and his father and four uncles fought in World War I. book reviews ... The Ship by C. S. Forester. For those who would learn what a naval battle of today is like, the book of the year is C. S. Forester’s The Ship, an account of a naval action fought in the Mediterranean be tween half the Italian Navy and British light cruisers and destroyers guarding a vital Malta convoy. In particular, it is the story of H. M. S. Artemis, “an eggshell armed with sledge hammers,” and the men of blood and guts who man her. Forester is no reporter, but an ar tist with a thorough knowledge of the tactics and strategy of modern naval warfare, the mechanics of modern fighting ships, and the behavior of fighting men. For an evening of instructive, exciting reading. The Ship is hard to match. —AHV Male Call Fever Communicated By Contact by Milton Caniff, creator of “Terry and the Pirates” 14 INKY 60 600NV/ \ ARE MEDICAL 6EMERAL6-I |co;^P9MEN HAVE A SUOHT HEADACHEi FUieE... mil ^ NOTHEI^MOiVlETHi?...
