SINGING A SONG From the soldier’s viewpoint at least, Fletcher’s famous aphorism: "Give me the making of the songs of a nation anti I care not who makes the laws,” is one worth consideration. We soldiers can not make the laws and we van not origin ate the military strategy that will eventually win this war — although from barrack and day room arguments it. would appear that we could if we*juHt had the chance but we can go into battle — and that includes training for buttle — with a song in our hearts and on our lips. Such a statement may seem a bit silly, but is the beginning of time, which means since the first survival, the lusty, singing cheerful horde has been the con queror. Hannibal’s warriors sang, so did Alexander’s. Grant ed that singing alone wouldn’t even lick a couple of Musso lini’s crack divisions, it does have a psychological effect lhat tranHcends mere mouthing of tunes. Allied veterans of the last war still remember the demor alizing effect on the Huns when the famed Princess Pat regi ment from Canada went over the top with every soldier sing ing at the top of his lungs. This is but one example, there were sources of others. The late George M. Cohan, although lie never to our knowledge donned a uniform, destroyed thousands of the enemy by penning and then getting our boys to sing “Over There.” The Hon. Winston Churchill has long been a firm be liever in the value of singing as a morale builder. During his dramatic Atlantic Charter meeting on mid-ocean with Presi dent Roosevelt the singing aboard the Prince of Wales affect ed him deeply. Hi1 said later: "On the quarterdeck were mingled together many hun dreds of American and British sailors and marines. We sang ‘Onward, Christian Soldiers,’ and, indeed, I felt this was no vain presumption but that we had a light to feel we were serving a cause for sake of which the trumpet has sounded from on high.” Getting back to Camp Adair and our specific subject. Let’s get a movement under way to have the old community song-fests. They say that the radio has s|x4led the doom of the old barber shop quartet. We hold firm to the conviction that a fighting army is a singing army. Let’s win this war and win it singing at the top of our lungs. Tojo won’t like that. THE MEDICAL SOLDIER. Car lisle Barracks.
