HILL) (Post Publicity Officer) The evening of April 15th, 1943 should be long remembered by members of Theodore Roosevelt Post No. 30 of the American Le gion; as on that date was held the first meeting in their new quar ters at 24th and Parker streets. The Ladies Auxiliary met with them. And Mrs. Milsap it’s secre tary, speaking for Mrs. Prestige, who was absent, made it clear that the auxiliary would give it’s full support to the program sponsored by Roosevelt Post. And it is sel dom that men fail in their efforts when fighting shoulder to should er with a group of hard working women, such as make up the mem bership of the LADIES AUXIL IARY. There are so many things that women can do much better than men. And In regards to a legion post—OUR POST to be more spec ific-they should be gi-ven more opportunities to lend their assist ance. For after all that is the pur pose of the organization; the very word AUXILIARY means to AIDE, to lend support to the main body. And >if the truth was known in this man's country there are legion posts still in existence that might not be were it not for the help they received from their LADIES AUXILIARY, believe it or not! And the program sponsored by ' Roosevelt Post certainly can use 1 all the help it can get from its S auxiliary! — Space will not permit of many j items of interest being mentioned in this column at this time. There fore the remainder of it will be con fined to one important plan made while the joint meeting was *in ses sion. It has to do with a program to celebrate the formal opening of the Post’s new home.

So many troubled hearts to soothe So many pathways rough to smooth. So many comforting words to Say. To hearts that falter along the way. There is joy in one’s heart arul there is joy unspeakable for us at all times, under all conditions if we but realize it—joy in living, to breathe, to live for those we love. There is gladness in joy and mirth to be filled with exaltation. One ought to claim joy and happi ness for its the birthright of each, one to be joyful. Let it he express ed in song ,verse, in flowers, in music or serving others. There is joy to be with congenial friends in their rich, pleasant conversation. Where one is joyful there can be no sorrow. Just let Us remember there is a silver lining in every cloud. One must look for the Sil ver lining, for it is always some where ever present when one is burdened with unhappiness of whatever nature and soon there , will be joy in every heart and sing ing will take the place of gloom. (Joy in pictures, in good books, in the beautiful woods and forest. In the spring rains come—a joy of de light. we know not the why, as wc walk or work in the refreshing drops of rain it is like showers of , blessings. Let Joy rain completc | ly. it's a little taste of Heaven. Whatever comes let joy be sup | r€me and soon there will be no j room for one's dissolusions. Spend your time promoting joy in all your dealings and thereby dispelling every unhappiness in the world and everyone will smile again, just like your mirror will give back to you all you are in the mirror. Smile in the mirror and a smile will surely come back to you with joy unspeakable. MAN AS A UNIT We have been considering man ias a unit, showing how man, as a | spirit, has several bodies or ve ! h^les otf consciousness. Man is not only a unit, a separated Ent ity, however; at least, he is that only in a relative sense. For he is of a family, a community, a na tion, one of the inhabitants of the earth, related to other worlds. God Thou, has made me known to friends whom I knew not. Thou, has given me a seat in homes not my own; Thou hast brought the distant near and made a brother of a stranger. Through birth and death in this or other things where ever Thou leadest me it is Thy will just the same. Thou art the One, companion of my endless life! In the Word of God was Life; the Life is in the Word. The kind words we speak because although we speak them on the Physical Plane, they are the food from which the Spiritual essence is taken for the building of Etheric words. This combined with service builds the same body, which has its various organs correlated to the organs of the Physical Body. Being of a cos mic character Christ speaks in parables but hidden meanings were given to His Disciples in pri vate! This meaning was not gfiven to the ordinary of people or to make the Bible "an open Book of God!” It is generated by the mind given by the power of light and darkness (the Lord of Mind,) and whereby all nations are being slowly but surely drawn together in a Universal Brotherhood of Love, regardless of race, sect, or Color. The New Jerusalem with its pearly streets and sea of glass and all the other pious and moral fancies of the church people are there also. As an Aquarian Prayer for the Universal good we pray that the spirit of Divine good and brother hood may enter the hearts of the people of every country of the Earth. That God may send such a Spiritual power down upon us that it will awaken every soul to the value of Spiritual things. The value of creative efforts brings competition and greed and fear and jealousy of other persons or nat ions. Dissolve, O God, these qual ities from the minds of the races for without them we will banish Poverty, crime, incompetjency, waste and War from the Eearth.

Toledo, Ohio; Lacy Johnson, Little Rock, Arkansas; and Reba Caldwell, Pittsburgh, Kansas WAR TIME RAILROADING ; HARD ON RAILROADERS j CHICAGO. April 22 (ANP) Rail road men and women here echoed agreement with the article on rail roads released by Sutherland Pen linger, chief of special services in Washington, last week in which he described the Rigors through wh'cn those who work on and with trains are experiencing. This city, the headquarters for more sleeping car porters than any other center, has beer, especially conscious of the difficulties facing Pullman men as well as workers in other cate gories. I Many Pullman porters are work ing with troop travel almost ex clusively. About 50,000 soldiers a day, 1,750,00 a month, are traveling hither and thither on government orders and this does not 'include the men going home on furlough. Sometimes it appears as though the high command was merely playing checkers and seeing how many troops it can shuttle about. About half of the total supply of Pullman cars and 17 percent of all day coaches in the country (about 3,000 are in troop use. If the war department insisted on having ail the Pullman equipment it could use, then civilians would have no sleeping accomodations at all for all the Pullman cars would be carrying troops. As it is they use tourist cars frequently and sleep soldiers two in a lower berth and one in an upper. About 250 lounge parlor and sleeping cars have been rebuilt with three tiers of berths and are used mostly for movi ig sailors, the berths evidently being somewhat Wke their hammocks. Pullman porters are working harder than ever in history. The great amount of baggage they have t ohandle. the constant mak ing-up and breaking down of b necessitated by the packed cars now running when frequently they Used to be half full; sleeping on j sofas and Settees instead of In “up- j per one” which used to be theirs j almost exclusively, there is plenty of work jn being one of “TTncle George’s boys” these days. Dining car waiters are equally hard pressed. Many of the most skillful men have been called bv S elec live service. Newer waiteis can’t give the same quick deft ser vice. Working long hours, on1 some days from 5:30 in the mom- j ing until one or two the next mom i ing, they serve continuously. For-1 merly if there were more than 100 persons on a train to be served, a second diner was added. Now a single diner crew of 10 to 13 men will serve as many as 700 meals a day with scarcely any let up be tween what were once meal Per iods. The traditional custom where by colored passengers coming in to a car were piloted to any empty table has likewise gone into limbo in most cases. Colored and white passengers, soldiers and civilians are thrust together and like it if they want something to eat, that is above the Mason-Dixon line. More and more Negro waiters are running in charge w-ithout white stewarts. Women are being pressed into service. Thus far no railroad has given a colored girl a job as a clerk or typist but Several are us ing them in handling light bag gage, the number of car cleaners is increasing, many stations are using them for lighter janitorial In the U. S. Coast Guard’s Ap*ii enlistment quota, largest of this year, qualified men 38 to 45 and youths of 17 will be eligible. Cap tain Stephen S. Yeandie, District Coast Guard Officer, St. 1,-ouiR, Ninth Naval District, announced. Good horsemen and rat’fo technic ians of all ages will also be accept ed, he said.
