As Post Chaplain Resumes Work
Lt. Pete A. Lafka, last summer
in command of one of the provi
sional tent area companies since
divided among the sections of the
Service Command Unit, is now as
sisting Capt. Paul S. Rutledge in
running the SCU Hdq. Co.
Of late he has been on the prowl,
in and out of barracks, before
reveille, and in the mess halls.
Wherever he goes the lieutenant
is welcome as the flowers in May, |
unless somebody is doing something
that he shouldn't, or failing to do
something that he should. So busy
is Lt. Lafka nowadays that he may
be unable to have his usual quiet
hour on Saturday nights, in the
Corvallis library.
1 wo leading chaplains of this camp Sunday at special
services warned against hate, as a fighting motive, thereby
taking a position at variance with that of some military
leaders and other prominent Americans.
“I am worried about the man who is taught to hate,”
said ( haplain (Lt. Col.) Frank J. Worthington, divisional
chaplain of the Timber Wolf Division, following an address
in which Major General Gilbert R. Cook spoke of the chapels
as sources of strength for the division. “When the war is
over, will that man transfer his hatred to something els<f?”i

That service was one in dedica
