For fifteen minutes the Chaplain
spoke about their returning bom'’,
telling aboil tthe racial question a.;
far as religion was concerned.
"Men, the texture of your rkin is
darker than mine, but in the sight
of Almighty God. we arc all equal

He also explained 11‘at army life

Turning to the constitution at Btl-

tiegiin to ask wheiher or not the

STANDING UP
Long Distance has been busier than
ever since V-J Day. There have been
more calls — more rush calls -> longer
calls.
Serv-tce generally is good but there are more
limes when the lines get overcrowded. Then
It's more import.int than ever to "p'^***
your call to 5 minutes" when the operator re
quests It.
We still ha.cn't enough long distance tele
phone lines, tnii now that we can manufacture
equipment for our own use. we are on our way
to restoration of pre-war Bell System ilandarda
of service.

Clara Barton saved the lives of many sick and %voundcd soldiers during the
Civil War. In World War II, millions of women M ere trained for war service.
Some as nurses served on far-flung battle fronts, others a.s volunteers worked
in civilian and military hospitals aiding busy nurses and entertaining con
valescent servicemen. Many women studied nutrifion. learning the vital im
portance of food to health. Wc arc proud that the loaf we bake is worthy to
take its place as a staple food vital for good nutrition and always enjoyed.
We are ftrouJ that the u'omcn oj thh com-
mnnity, icrved so long hy our bakery, gat e
generously oj their time and strength to the
war effort. It is a privilege jor us to con
tinue to serve them to the best of our ability.
