Array Suggests Memorial Service For Men Killed Buglers And Firing Squads Are Now Available For Such Services, Says Official. It is believed that military me morial services for soldiers killed in action should be held wherever possible for bereaved relatives and friends, and as a consequence Chap lain John O. Lindquist, Chief of Chaplain Branch, Headquarters Fourth Service Command announc ed that chaplains, buglers and fir ing squads are available for this tribute. The custom of firing three vol leys at military funerals is believ ed -to -have originated among the I Romans, who, after casting earth three times by name, after which friends and relatives of the de ceased pronounced the word "Vale" (farewell) three times as they de parted. So, today, when the squad of soldiers fire three volleys over a grave, they are, in accordance with this old Roman custom, bid ding their dead comrade "Fare well" three times. The number three is considered to have symbolical and mystical significance, as for instance, the Holy Trinity and the Three Graces, as well as frequent recurrence in numerous ancient religious cere monies. In daily life it is interest ing to note the extent the number three enters into activities, such as athletics, ship saluting by blow- 1 ing whistles three times when pass ing another ship at sea, and var ious other rituals. The practice of sounding taps at military funerals involves a deeply felt sentiment ? "Rest in Peace." In the daily life of the soldier the sounding of taps at 11 p. m., sig nifying "Lights -Out," announces the end of the day, implying that the cares and labors of the soldier are ended for that day. So does the sounding of taps at his funeral signify the end of his day ? the "Lights Out" of his life ? his "Rest in Peace." There is no other call so beauti ful, so significant, so replete with associations of comrades dead and gone ? there is no other call that arouses such sentiment, so many emotions in the soul of the soldier as the sounding of "Taps." Chaplain Lindquist further ex plained that although military ser vices could be held for individual soldiers in most instances, still in the event the location be too far away from camp, post or station, to make such services feasible, monthly memorial services could be so arranged and planned for a con Bridge Luncheon Given Friday By Mrs. Buchanan XI rs.

( gregation of people suffering simi lar losses. In larger towns and cities it is felt each denomination could have a memorial service of this sort, while in smaller towns it would be mor desirable to have a general service for all denominations. In the event such ceremonies are requested, a letter should be writ ten to the Chaplain's Office at the nearest camp, post or station, Chap lain Lindquist stated. We Salute W C T C ' . I J- . v.

Shyness In Child Bf CARRT CLEVELAND MTUL5, T U>. ON SEVERAL occasions I have written on the baby and tot who is shy of strange adults, advising the mother to protect this child by helping him keep at a safe dis tance from the stranger and di- I verting the attention of the latter from him. A mother who writes for my special bulletin, "Fears" adds: "I should like to see you write at greater length about a child's shyness of other children of his own age as that is my big prob le ? now. "My little boy who will be five in J uly and who used to be a hap py little extrovert is changing lately into a backward child who is afraid ? afraid of dogs ? afraid of strange children? afraid peo ple will laugh at him. "A self -addressed stamped en velope is enclosed." Though most parents don't think so, the child's shyness of other children is a far more se rious problem than shyness of adults. Cause of Shyness Practically always this shyness grows from lack of free play with other children the same age. Often (playmates do not live nearby, in which case the parents should Dr. R. L. Madison, Founder of Western Carolina Teachers College, Is Now 76 Active struggle? not passive res istance ? has been the life of Rob ert Lee Madison for his own better ment and that of humanity. A* the founder o? Western uarollna Teachers college he has guided and inspired many lives and taught many students in this section of the state in an uplifting manner. Professor Madison, president emeritus of the college, was born February 17, 1867, in Staunton, Va., but his boyhood was spent in Lex ington, Va., where his father, Col. Robert Lewis Madison was phy sician and surgeon at the Virginia Military academy. His education (Ph. B. and A. M. from University of Chattanooga) was distinguished by two outstanding facts: he was the first honor student and young est man ever graduated from his alma mater at that time. On ac count of ill 'health his plans for a medical career were deferred, and he sought the mountains of Cullo whee, where he began his teaching career in 1889 in a small mountain school. For its first fifteen years this institution was known as Cullo whee high school, but it was char tered as a college in 1891 through Professor Madison's vision, sub. stantiated by a legislative enact ment resulting from the efforts of the Hon. Walter E. Moore. The general assembly by a special act in 1905 gave it its present name. By his untiring efforts, faithful service, and loyal devotion to an ideal, Professor Madison led the school through discouraging early stages to the development of a strong institution that stands to day as a memorial to his dream come-true. With the exception of eight years, from 1912 to 1920, Professor Madi son has been connected with the college. In 1923, he resigned as president, but the board of trustees, recognizing his inherent qualities of a born teacher and inspirer of students, asked him to accept the professorship of modern languages under Dr. H. T. Hunter's present administration. Since he has be come president emeritus and pro fessor of English. Pvt. Monroe R. Wilson is now stationed at Camp Campbell, Ky. He was inducted into the Army June 18, 1943. Pvt. Wilson is . the son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Wilson of Webster. Jinks ? How did you like the WAC parade? Jenks ? Marvelous! Ten thousand women and not one slip showing! make almost any reasonable *??! fiee to go with the tot to homes & children hi* age and attract them to his home. If possible, he should be put in a nursery school and at tend the nursery department of a Sunday school. ? The timid child often adapts best with only one playmate at a time. His problem may be harder if he will not defend himself and take hia own part. He needs some supervision then but not too much protection, nor should he be pitied and petted often when he comes to his mother crying because another child hit him or took his toys from him. Creative Play Young children enjoy play with one another when they learn to < build with blocks, create with crayons, and listen to stories read \ to two or more of them together. \ The child over five or six who is shy o if other children, can gain courage through, learning play skills which he din share with, j others of his age and constructive skills they will admire. If very fearful of bullies, be might profit from boxing lessons or from a bit of guidance by his father in us- , ing his bare hands in Self-defense.
