Me Clgpltn HOW ARE YOU FLYING? Will T live after death; is my soul immortal? That question at one time or another troubles every thinking man, so naturally it occasionally troubles you too. It is not simple to prove that man's soul lives on after his death, but it is a thousand times more difficult to prove that it does not. God gave definite laws to everything He created, and all things except man are governed by fixed laws. For example, the stars cannot choose to shine or not to shine; they have no choice, but man can choose to be a hero or a coward, He can keep God's law or break it, In other words, aman is free to do right or wrong. In giving you this great power of choice, do you think God 1s not going to hold you accountable for it? Does not the War Department hold you accountable for your uniform, gun, and other supplies? If you break a law of health, you get sick. If you violate the Articles of War, you are punished. If you violate God's Articles of Life -- what happens? Many people get away with it, but it can't be forever. Your own common sense tells you that there must be a hereafter where the good will be rewarded as heroes are, and the wicked punished as traitors are. God's patience indicated His will- ingness to give us another, and still another chance to get wise to ourselves and soefety and keep His regulations for our own sake and that of our country. In this life we are like an air pilot flying in the darkness of the night. We cannot see, cannot understand very mich about the future, but there is a beam from Heaven -- Christ's teaching. Finding and following this beam we shall make a safe landing. Chapel Services SUNDAY WEDNESDAY 8:00 A.M. +eMass: 6:50 AWM.

GENERAL ARNOLD SENDS GREETING! TO THE NEX OF THE ARMY AIR FORC ngpread - eagled around the earth, fighting across eight distant hori- zons, our Air Forees this Christmas season are again dedicating their 1i- ves to bring peace on earth to the nations of the world. A year ago the Western Hemisphere was pulled. sudden- ly into the arena of war by an enomy who struck across the Pacific at us by air, treacherously, without warning. At that time, this nation was con- centrating upon its assignment as the arsenal of Democracy. We fought only on the Factory Front. ur own Aimerd~ can air Forces were lacking in equip- ment for the task that was suddenly thrust upon us by 4 cunning enemy.#2* “The whole American way of life, that had produced our pilots and air- crews and the aireraft in which they fought; all this was suddenly and bru- tally tested in battles. We have not been found wanting. "And now at the end of the year that could have brought disaster, we have met the challenge, we have held every front, and on many fronts we non are striking back with tnereasing and cru~ shing strength.#% "and so now, in deepest gratitude, I send forth my greetings to you men who have worked this brave miracle. Where- ever you may be fighting - *% T send you assurance that this Christmas marks the beginning of a bright year, @ proud year, a year in whieh the mount- ing strength of our Allies and our own armed forces will win the war in the air and march on toward that peace on earth for which we all fight. s/s H.H, ARNOLD Lieutenant General, U.S~ Army Commanding General, Army Air Forces* BACK ISSUES OF THE "TYNDALL TARGET® WHICH HAVE ACCUMULATED DURING THE PAST YEAR, WILL BE PLACED ON SALE IN THE MAIN POST EXCHANGE ON JANUARY 16TH ALL PROCEEDS WILL 60 TO THE ABRs 1,000 BALLOTS CAST IN THIRD WEEK!

William Castle §/sgt. John Mitchell Corp. Silas Upehuren TYNDALL TOPICS At Henderson Field, a sentry posted on the outskirts was probably thinking that the jungle seemed unusually quiet that night. He probably curved his wrist and caught a glimpse of the time on his wrist watch. The meon could well have been bright enough. Tt didn't matter mich if his watch was- ntt exactly accurate --he imew that onee the moon had chased the dusk, the now year couldn't bomany hours off. And per- heps his relief was Jater than usual, giving him a few more minutes ta dwell on events of the past year A year ago that night he might have been @ recruit -or even a civilian, If he was a recruit, he probably celebrated the Eve 4m St. Louis" huge U-8.0., or in a Hollywood or Now York might clubs If he Was a civilian, he probably did the same thing. And it's pretty certain that either as a recruit or a civilian, he wasn't giving too much thought te the past or the fu- ture --he just concentrated on the pleas- ant present. But now, As a sentry on guard at Guadaleanal it was different. ‘There weren't any night clubs or U.S.0+5, w-there wasn't much he could do except think about that past...and the future. What’ was there to think about of the past? Well, he might have begun thinicing of 4t tm personal terms-- but it's a safe bet that nis thoughts drifted to the world in general. He might have recalled the fall of Bataan and Corregider, le might have tried to picture the scenes...anert- can and Philippine Scouts stalking the Jungles for Jap snipers...nen on “his Side" eating mule meat for want of some- thing better. He probably felt» sem- Diance of 4 lump in his throat as he thought of the example of courage that those men have set, They were Americans, and he was an Amoriean, and therefore, what they did, he could do, That was logical reasoning: Wasn't he one of the first te land on this island? Didn't he and the rest of his buddies make that first Landing knor- ing full well that not every Jap dullet would miss? That took courage. He *qual- ified". Yes, he "qualitied™,,.A million more Americans have "qualified", and before the next New Years, --several million more will have to equal the standard of courage and bravery that Averiean fight- ing men have set in the battles of the Past --on the sea, in the air and on lana. When that sentry on Henderson Field greoted his relief with a*Happy New Year, Joel", there must have been an exchange of grins --but then, who lee has & better right to grin.We don't know how many of our officers hung up sacks last reek, but Santa is reported to have visited only four of them.

Now Joe may be anything on the field, He may be 4 gunnery student, line mechanic, supply clerk, radio operator, ete. ete. But for the sake of argument let's say that today he 1s e gunnery student. First of all Joe begs Major Hun- ter for permission to serve KP in mess hall #3. After much persuasion, he finally gets Major Hunter's consent and happily dances back to his barracks to lie down for the rest of the day. He cancels all prior engagements end goes to bed early at night in order to be wide awake, alert and on his toes for the following day. He sets the alarm for 8:30 A.M. to be sure of hav- ing plenty of time to get to the mess hall on or before 4:30. ‘The morning finally arrives and Joe jumps out of bed, takes 8 shower, shaves and puts on his best clean fat- igues, walks briskly to the mess hall where he fs cheerfully greeted at the door by the mess sergeant with a lov- ing smile and a friendly slap on the back, He receives his instructions which include light chores such as counting the window panes, measuring the bread and generally acting in just more or less an advisory capacity to the mess officer and mess sergeant. He applies himself willingly. After hours of conscientious ef= ort he accomplished many things in- eluding the complete reorganization of the mess, Around seven-thirty or so he advises the KP leader that he is going to knock off for the day. The KP leader, pleasant and gentleman that he is, thanks Joe a lot for being nice enough to help, He sincerely hopes that Joe will return real soon... everything has been just lovely. Joe leaves with the look of a man who has completed a job well done. It's been a most enjoyable day and he resolves to see Major Hunter again at the earliest opportunity and do some~ thing especially nice for him and per= haps, who knows, if everything breaks just right, he can ask for some more KP, Only the next time he'll ask for a whole week. Joe is well satisfied with him- self, the army, the gunnery school and the mess hall.

Lt. A.C. Niller's "Gunner Ma- kers" nust have fulfilled one of thetr Now Year's resolutions as they started off their league competition with a perfect slate of 3 victories and no defeats. Despite the fact that Ist/Sgt. Loyd Taylor wasn't there to keep score, the "G.Mas" made their three game victory ever the faltering 69th look easy. The margin of conquest in each of the contests was more than ample. Sgt. Adamec and Cpl. Koch led the scoring for the "G.M.s" with averages of 182 and 19¢ respectively. Koch came through with the highest score of the evening as he went out on strikes in the first gaame to hit 2871 (He marked up in each frame with an even number of strikes and spares.) For the 69th, (Rugged?) it was de- finitely acase of an “off night". "Splits" showed up more frequently than two Brooklyn base-runners on third. "Red" Fraser paced his team with an average of 170, The "Niners" expect to get some practice in before the next league session and they should snap out of their slump. Pvt. Vener, a newcomer to the quintet, showed « great deal of promise in the second game with a score of 187. In the other league match of the evening, the untested Medics tussled with the '42 Champions, the Quarter- masters. The Champs managed to snare the last of the three games when they suddenly found renewed strength. Tt was a kd named "AI", AL Kocury who led his fellow Medics to their first of two wins over the Q.Mes. He came through with a neat 199 in that game, but couldn't quite equal 4t in the contests that followed. Pfc. Sen- Kine was the other big gun for the pill-rollers, with an average of 175 for the evening. Pfe. Hnylka and lentite furnished the power for the Quartermaster team with averages of 170 and 174 respec- tively. Lentlie was high man for his team as he went ont via strikes in the last game to chalk up a high 201+ The other two teams entered in the league, the Post Photo and Finance Keglers, will play their postponed game on Friday.
