the U.S. flag is hoisted atop a 15-foot radio antenna on Hill 881, an outpost near Khe Sanh.
At nightfall, the Marines retire that day’s flag to send it to the family of a Marine slain on
the hill. UPI photo by Dave Powell. (NC Photos) __

Said the priest to the students,
“This is the time of the year
when your blood congeals to the
seat of your pants and turns to
lead.”
We hear so much these days
about the long hot summer but
little thought is given to the long
dreary winter which we have just
endured.
Now that the psalms are' said
in English in the daily Office and
in the Mass, we are made con
scious of the close relationship
between the handiwork of the
Creator and His divine attributes.
Many of these hymns of praise
tell us that Nature does some of
the work of lauding His holy
name in our behalf.
Last Wednesday recalled a
comment of Father Louis Mer
ton, who said that on bright
mornings when the exortator
would make his crack-of-dawn
rounds, knocking on the various
doors of the monks’ cells, he
would say, “Let us bless the
Lord.” And, for the occasion, add,
“This is the day that the Lord
has made. Let us be glad and re
joice therein.”
The first day of spring, 1968,
was such a day to our way of
thinking.
