Army Morale
It is significant to note what factors our
¡Responsible ■ officials consider most important
toward bui
building and retaining of morale.
First listed: A personal development in the
individual of self-pride, cheerfulness, patriot
ism. Second: Religious instruction, servioe.
and administration. A religious organization
might have placed this first in importance.
When General Marshall was asked to give
his opinion on the importance of religion in
successful warfare, he said: "The relation
of the spiritual to ihe material (guns, planes,
tanks, weapons, strategy) is as 6 to 1.”

Eddie Riekenbacker and a host of others
know that faith, trust and confidence in a
kind and merciful God will play a most decis
ive part in the obtaining of our ultimate vic
tory.
We give all kinds of reasons why an
Army unit may or may not be ready for com
bat. When we say that we are readv, are
we ready? What part has religion played in
our preparation? Others before us have
learned the hard way that it takes more than
steel and endurance to fight successfully in
battle.—John W. Moehring, Chaplain ?»61st

•1 How Could They Fight Wars Before?
I They Didn't Have Any Telephones!

The role played by such conven-
| iences as the telephone in train
ing a modern infantry division for
battle was proven this week with
the release of figures by the Post
Signal Officer, Capt. Frank Bur
dick, showing it required approxi
mately 502,000 official calls to put
the 70th Division through basic.
Cal Horn, Belt Telephone man
ager for Camp Adair, revealed that
the telephone follows training
units right into the field, so that
outfits far out in the hills are in
direct touch with the Post switch-
board.
“It makes a lot of difference
when you want something in a
hurry,” he said.
Horn gave interesting figures
on other phases of the war effort.
For example, he said, about 63,000
phone calls go into the building of
a Liberty ship.
He estimated the Trailblazer
calls at approximately 5.122 per
day. Most of these were not
handled by operators, but were
placed and connected mechanically
through the dial system.
