Commanding Officer Lieut. Comdr. James P. Raugh, USNR Executive Officer Lieut, (jg) Kidd Brewer, USNR Public Relations Officer ★ Editor: Ensign Leonard Eiserer, USNR Associate Editor: Orville Campbell, Y3c By Lieut. E. H. Arendt Chaplain Corps, USN Increasing numbers each day throughout the Christain world are returning to thoughts of religion. Throughout the history of the world, men have always turned to religion in times of great anxiety, stress and sorrow. It is the belief of the religious leaders of the world that this time it will be a more lasting “return to religion.” Words like “brotherly love,” “honor,” “sacrifice,” “faith” and “God” are accepted, by the present generation, as the true bases upon which the world of to morrow—“our world” will be built. We are determined that the principles for which we enlisted this time shall not be fought for in vain. Not only is it significant that the civilian population is finding consolation in its churches, but the general interest is increas ing. No Christian clergyman will deny that. Now, it becomes the responsibility of all of us to see that the things for which we stand are lasting. In Paul’s letter to the Romans there is a text which says: “But be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.” At long last we are recognizing that we need spiritual transformation in order to make us a more useful—a more helpful part of our social order. It is through the Church, its spirit and its sacraments, that we Chris tians are mustered together for the job that must be done. The visible Church cannot, and must not, be an end in itself—it must, as always, remain the means through which our ends can be more clearly defined. Then, through the united effort of our generation, our job can be accomplished. May the gen erations of the future look back upon us and say “WELL DONE.” OUR DUTY Though I was never one for quarreling, But still stood up for what’s right; When those yellow little men atacked us. You bet I was ready to fight. To give, even my life, if need be For this great Country of ours, Just to keep Old Glory still waving; Blue field. Bright stripes, and White stars. Like me, there are millions of others Who would gladly give all that they own To save our Country, America, The Land that I’m proud to call “Home.” When it started, I joined the Navy; Went out to fight on the sea; For it’s there I felt I was needed And that’s where I wanted to be. If each man sticks to his duty, And sees that each job is well done. We’ll kick the HEIL out of Hitler, And make those Nipponese run. So no matter how fierce the battle. The thousands who doubtless will fall; Just remember, it’s all for AMERICA, To me, She’s the best of them all. Aviation Cadet J.S.L. Terry and The Pirates I Youll Laugh Too For the superior squelch of the week we give the nod to a British gob downing an ale at the Astor Bar in New York. A too-friend ly neigh-bar-fly leaned over and inquired: “What ship are you on. Bud?” “H.M.S. Pinafore, Captains Gilbert and Sullivan commanding!” was the reply. =:! * From the Berlin underground comes this story, credited to Louis Sobol. In a German industrial center, walls are covered nightly with anti-Hitler, pro-Ally inscriptions. Furious Nazis, tired of wiping off the chalk- ings wrote one day on the same walls, “Why don’t you do this in broad daylight, you cow ardly curs!” That night there was an ans wer. “Sorry, but in the daytime we are too busy parading with you fellows!” A sailor not long in the Navy was doing his first sentry duty one night when, hearing footsteps, he called out a challenge. Advanc ing, he made out in the darkness a captain standing stiffly at attention. In his confu sion, the sailor forgot all the instructions he ever had received about what to say in such circumstances. “Come, come, my lad,” the captain said impatiently, “you’i'e not going to keep me standing at attention all night, are you?” “No, sir,” the sentry replied. “Parade rest!” Patrcl Fails To Contact Main Body gV£N WHEN THE CHIEF PUT you ON THIS TOUfS y£AH THE FEAT AT ^ THE ENP OF THE CAR LINE \ YOU back home 1 WUZ THEJ?£ WA^ I A COP ALWAYS SOtAB! / BEFORE EXCITEMENT / 5UKE...ONLY HAP 19 YEARS TO OO BBFOfZB I eOT ME MY THAT 11 w « fhl II I YEAH - IF A MAN HBPT HIS EYE6 OPEN HE COULP PO all KI6HT ' \ WEtL,NOTHlN' COMIM'OFF j HE(?£..
