What Are You Worth?
marble statue figured purely ou the
basis of materials is worth very little. A
wprk of art by one of the masters valued
only in the materials used is worth only a
few cents. But, when these express dreams
and ideals; when they picture beauty and
carry history; then their worth cannot be
valued in terms of dollars aud cents.
The human body, when analyzed chemi­
cally and materials valued separately, is
worth less than a dollar. But when that same
body has a mind that is useful, a heart that
throbs with precious power for living, hands
which are helpful in service, feet that know
and walk the path of duty, then and then

can jitterbug in modern tempo with the best of our 16-year-oids.
One of Army's Oldest Enlisted Men
Trying to be a jitterbug at 61
years of age isn't quite a routine
affair with 1st/Sgt. Joseph W.
Meredith.
Sgt. Meredith was talked into— i
rather, he says, forepd into—per-!
forming the dance floor antics that
a 16-year-okl, not a 61-year-old
hoofer, is capable of doing.
Tec4 John W. Addis, Jr., Co. D,
370th Med. Bn., grabbed "Pop”,
as his charges call him, by the arm
during a recent dance at the 76th
Div. Special Troops Sergeants’!
Club, and he performed willingly if ,

He danced with such agility that .
many a murmur of doubt was heard
as someone breezed the word I
around that Sgt. Meredith is the
grandfather of a five-year-old boy i
and was old enough to enlist in the
Spanish American war.
He’s young enough, he says, to ,
try anything his men in Co. A,
370th Med. Bn., are asked to do,
and young enough not to ask for
retirement in less than a year-and-
a-half, when he will have served
30 years.
Sgt. Meredith enlisted in 1915,
and the following year participated
in the Mexican War with the 26th
Infantry. In 1917, he saw action
again with the Second Ambulance
Corps in the first world conflict,
serving in Europe for 17 months.
One of the most amazing acts of
friendship and devotion recorded
in the Army occurred in 1939 when
Sgt. Meredith was told that he, as
a first lieutenant in the Medical
Administration Corps, could not
ship across with the men he had
‘aught and trained with and lived
with for several years. Learning
this, he immediately resigned his '
