T IEUTENANT,; HARRY BOYfi,
JJ- chaplm for,thc 1.13th Engineers
it Camp Dodge, stepped in where
angels fear to'tread, .lon?ay night,
in his talk at -the annual; meetina oi
the Young Women's Christian asso
ciation. ' ' ' a - '
lieutenant Boyd told his audience
6f hurch and religious workers, in a
graphic manner, how pleased' he' hadj
paradise, a congregation made up en
tirely of men. v i
"Just think ,of it no , Ladies' aid,
i no missiorfary feocieties, no jealousy
' : among members' wives why I was
the happiest preacher imaginable, he
, told his audience. '
Lieutenant Boyd . squared himself
with the women by. telling thtm his;
happiness was short-lived. He soon
found, he said,' he couldn't run a con-
gregation without women.

high school giris Friday-tor there
was the Lincoln-Omaha basketball
game and the Junior Prom -both on

they root? 'Really, it was a most
critical situation for one could not
go to the game for part of the even

sit in a chilly gymnasium and then
dance the rest of the time. It was
either the dance or the game that
was all. However, we are afraid that

a rustic , appearing , man approached
and presented a season ticket to the
Young Men's Christian association

"Ez there "a game here., t'night?"

"Yes' replied Director Cairns, "but

The director explained that, there
