MARCHING ALONG, SINGING A SONG From the soldier’s viewpoint at least, Fletcher’« famous aphorism: “Give me the making of the song- of a nation and I care not who make« the law«,” is one worth con-¡deration. We soldier« can not make the laws and we can 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*fu«t had the chance but we can go into battle — and that include« training for battle — with a «ong in our hearts and on our lips. Such a statement may seem a bit silly, but is it? Since the beginning of time, which mean« since th« first battle for survival, the lusty, singing cheerful horde has been the con­ queror. Hannibal’s warrior« sang, mo did Alexander’s. Grant­ ed that «inging alone wouldn’t even lick a couple of Musso­ lini’« crack divisions, it doe« have a psychological effect that transcends 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 i but one example, there were scorces of other«. The late George M. Cohan, although he never to our knowledge donned a uniform, destroyed thousands of the enemy by p-nning 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. He said later: “On the quarterdeck were mingled together many hun­ dred* 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 right Io feel serving a cause for sake of which the trumpet has from on high.” Getting back to Camp Adair and our specific subject. Let*« get a movement under way to have the old community song-fests. They say that the radio has spelled 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.

I will give you th<> details in the hope that this soldier will read and recognize the incident and make the return of his pen possible. On the night of October 29 we gave a lift to a soldier from Rick­ reall to Camp Adair. Our car is a 1928, light green, model A Ford pick-up and the soldier rode in the hack of the truck with some guns and other hunting equipment. Th«- soldier got out of the car at Camp Adair and we proceeded on our hunting trip. On reaching our des­ tination w«> found the fountain pen in the back of the pick-up where it had been dropped. If the owner reads or hears of this letter his pen can be returned by sending his name and address to P. N. Browning. Keasey, Route. Vernonia, Oregon. Sincerely your.«, Mr. and Mrs. P. H.
