Scrivner, who man aged the canteens on the Post while it was still in throes of con struction and who later was in charge of the PX restaurant, hos pital restaurant and all PX kitch ens. has left Camp Adair to take a position in Washington. D. C., with the Food Administrator’s office. A surprise party, arranged by Mr. Ed Lindskog, Mr. Scrivner’s assistant, was held Thursday af ternoon in the PX restaurant, as a farewell to both Mr. and Mrs. Scrivner. All employees from the PX kitchens came and presented Mr. and Mrs. Scrivner with a lovely mantel clock as a farewell gift. Mr. Scrivner has been a “feeding operator” for over 10 years, and before coming to Camp Adair spent two years in Hawaii, including three months following “Pear! Har bor.” He was in charge of feeding and housing defense contractors there and, following December 7, 1941. had to meet tremendous emer gency conditions as all the inhabi tants from the cutlying islands poured into Oahu. His comment on the situation following the attack was that “the civilians pitched right in and helped . . . they did not get at all panicky.” Mr. Scrivner has done a fine job with the PX restaurants and sand wich bars the past year. The task has been taken over by his former assistant, Mr. Ed Lindskog, who promises to maintain the same high standards of quality and serv ice. CIO Gives $1500 Gift to Medics To Furnish Club USO Man to Meet Chaplains Thurs. A cash gift of $1500 from the Portland CIO was received by the still-embryonic Medics’ Non-Com Club. The gift was presented to the club by Mr. Stanley Earl, chair man of the union. The money will be spent for furnishings for the club, and it is expected that regular night-club furniture (oatent leather with chrome trim) will be obtained. As plans and construction stand at the present, the formal opening of the club is planned for late this month. Seasoned Veteran Of SCU Transfers To 70th Division Cpl. John Gorman, a veteran of Tent City days, has been at Camp Adair since June 28, 1942. He recently requested that he be transferred to the fighting 70th Division. Being reclassified from limited service to general service he made it. Cpl. Gorman will now be as sured of an all-winter berth, in some Camp Adair foxhole, during the division’s training period. He will be able to ‘take it' better than any of his 274th Regiment comrades, simply because he is weather-beaten and rugged. He has soldiered with the SCU, during the rain and snow, and roughing on the range days. We ■wish him luck—We know he will make good. •z In these day’s many religious leaders are very eager to show that the Bible has Lent abreast of the world. I think that they are mistaken in their -eal. In its its highest development the Bible is not just abreast of our time. It is far ahead of it. Its great spirits were among the first t o explore those ideas of international organisation and inter- fa’tn cooperation which are being so eloquently propounded by the idealists of our day. , Today we know that rivalry and bitterness among the members of different faiths are among the deadliest weapons in the hands of our enemies, What could be a better way of di srupting the na- tional war effort* than by arousing Protestants against Catholics and Christians against Jew.-? You ergage in a systematic propaganda f fa’ e stories. you plant a rumor here and a simple lie there, and soon you ha' ? dissension. The methods are outlined in Adolph Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” ar.d nave begn used by demagogues for many years. The pi pa- ganda ministries of the Axis have ?r>ent-vast sums to «ow the seeds of religious strife in this country. In the eighth century before the Common Hra there livtd a p-ophet whose name was Isaiah. He ivtd during a period which, in its -tresses a”d struggles, its rivalries an I pcwerepclitics. was simi lar to our own. But this man had beer.’endowed with vision. He saw that r.o world order could be : er- mar.ent unless men would understand and tolerate the faith of their neighbors. He asked his fe’l w Jews to believe in a God by whom all peoples were beloved. No student of Scripture can forget the magnificent passage in the'19th chapter of his prophecies, which concludes with the words: “Blessed be Egypt my people, ard Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheri tance.” To Isaiah and to the Prophets who followed him the universal God was the Father of all men. It Certainly one of the principles for which decent r-en are fighting today is freedom of religion. Any re’igion which teaches us to love cur r.e’ghbor, to obey the social commandments, to be considerate cf the rights cf others, to be thankful to a h ghen power for the good things or life—deserves oui respe t whether it bears the label of a Christian denomination or of Juda m. Mohammedanism, on Confucianism. Dr. Harry Emerson FosdiT: t Chaplain in the first World War under heavy fire to minister w ounded on the battlefield. “When he finally reached the cpr-f »he locked up at him and nsked: “Chaplain, do you belong to my Church?” “I don’t know,” came the rep’jr, “but »e both belong to the same God.” I thii k that this consciousness of essential re’ig; ii us unity in the mid. t of our doctrinal difference-, is slowly growing in the minds of the A meric? J people, and it is a hopeful sign for the future] Every attempt we make to foster a better undri- standing among the different denominations in oui] armed forces and in civilian life is at once a blow] against our enemies and a foundation stone in thJ structure of the future. —JULIUS KRAVETZ, 1st Lt., CH Saturday. 1800-2000.
