and carelessness on the part of a few
unthinking individuals are creating dissention over
holding weekly dances and may cause the abandonment of
further similar affairs.
The Recreation Committee was again besieged with com-
plaints regarding dance participants who failed to re-
turn promptly and quietly to their respective barracks
following last Saturday's dance.
What the young people do after the dance is not the
responsibility or business of the Committee. But since
the complaints---some from perents of the dancerg~--are
directed toward the sponsors of the dance, individuels
are asked to use more discretion for the benefit of the
Community as " whole.
This is the second warning; if the present condition
persists, dances may not be held hereafter.
Cooperation from everyone is essential.
Ukgrows prsclerr /
We are now feced with the problew of reedjusting
our pattern of living within the narrow lives granted
to us by our government.
Naturally, we have found that many of the things that
we have taken for granted no longer exist, at least, for
the duration of the war.
However, among the many freedoms protected for us by
the Constitution, the tolerance in the matter of our re-
ligions must now be considered of paramount importance.
In the church and through its teachings, we can find
@ new outlook on life; for it makes us consider various
things in a different light.
At this criticel period in our lives, faith and re-
ligious fervor will comfort many, while its mumerous
activities will relieve the monotony of our life.
