WHITE FALCON
Friday, August 21, 1964
Chaplain J
Cerner
By Chaplain S. E. Almasy, Lt. USNR.
There’s a very simple little poem that goes like this:
“Solomon Grundy went to Church
He never missed a Sunday:
But Solomon Grundy went to hell
For what he did on Monday.”
For all of us it is a big step from Sunday to Monday,
from the peaceful, prayerful feeling we so often have in
Church on a Sunday morning to the much more difficult
practice of the virtues from Monday through the following
Saturday.
So many of us, like poor old Solomon Grundy, think
that it is only Sunday manners and morals that count.
Just the opposite is true. Our Sunday devotion is of value
in eyes of God only if proved sincere by the way we act
after we have left the Church. The Church is the place
of dedication, the place where we receive the Bread of
Life to increase our strength. As such, it is of great im-
portance. But outside the Church door is the battle field,
and it is there, outside, that the way is won or lost.
Our final judgment will concern the love we showed
our neighbor, those who live next door, those who live on
the far side of the world. It is this, poor Solomon Grundy
forgot. For him religion began and ended in Church. What
a grievous mistake!

End Bible School
One hundred-thirty students
graduated from Vacation Bible
School Thursday at 7 p.m. in
the Alfred T. Mahan High School
Gymnasium.
Theme of this year’s two-week
study, which began Aug. 3, was
centered, “Around the World with
Christ.” In addition to Bible
teaching on the theme, instruc-
tion was given in singing, group
activities related to the theme and
handcraft.
After the graduation, each
groun of youngsters presented
project displays in classrooms for
parents and invited guests who
numbered 400.
“This is the most successful
year the Bible School has had.
Attendance averaged 120 students
at each class session,” said Chap-
lain H. W. Holland.
“The fine weather proved a de-
ciding factor in the success of
the course,” related the caplain.
Classes were held at the High
School every weekday morning
fi'om 9-12. Grades 1-12 and pre-
schoolers of 3-5 years of age
participated in the study.
Mrs. Caroline House was super-
intendent of the Bible School and
headed a faculty of 19 instructors.

What are the qualifications for
President and Vice President?
Must be a natural born citizen,
at least 35 years old, and a resi-
dent of the United States for a
minimum of 14 years.
What are the powers of the
President?
The President is Chief Exe-
cutive of the United States. The
Constitution gives the President
practically complete control over
foreign relations, including the
conduct of diplomacy. He is the
Commander in Chief of the
Armed Forces. He has the lead-
ership in making informational
agreements, and he can make
treaties, with the consent of two-
thirds of the Senate.
In addition to the powers set
forth in the Constitution, the
statutes have conferred upon the
President specific authority and
responsibility covering a wide
range of matters.
The President is the admini-
strative head of the Executive
Branch of the Government, which
includes numerous agencies, both
temporary and permanent, as well
as ten Executive Departments.
The heads of the ten Executive
Departments form the Cabinet
and serve in an advisory capa-
city to the President.

task group moved into the South
China Sea.
Defense Secretary Robert S.
McNamara said the naval groups
were deployed in order to provide
protection to our carriers and de-
stroyers operating in international
waters, both in the Gulf of Ton-
kin and in waters south of Hainan
Island.
Olympic Gold Medals
Hinge On Financial Aid
Members of the Armed Forces are familiar with this
two-way street: “An army is only as good as its leaders,
and the leaders only as good as their support.”
That adage is applicable to the United States Olympic
team, which will carry the American banner to a world
focal point this fall. And as the eyes of the world turn
to the international athletic competition in Tokyo, it re-
mains for the United States to put its best foot forward.
To be successful, the team must have top leaders and
athletes and solid support.
First of all, our amateur athletes can excel in the 1964
Olympic Games only if they are there. To develop, train,
equip, house, feed and transport them will require more
than $2 million. The Olympic team needs, therefore, the
financial support of the country. The U. S. Government
does not subsidize the team. Personal contributions are
solicited by the U. S. Olympic Committee.
The athletes—many of whom will also be representing
the Armed Forces—will, of course, give it everything they
have to bring back as many gold medals as they can. But
as the- athletes themselves admit, the more support they
have, the better they are apt to perform.
As one Olympic official put it, “We can send no better
team to represent the United States at the Olympics than
the American people will support.”
Contributions, the Olympic Committee points out, will
be appreciated in any amount. Small donations are just
as important as large ones. Any American athlete pre-
sented a gold medal will know he shares the honor with
the guy back home who parted with a buck or two.
Contributions can be made through local commands or
mailed to the U. S. Committee for the 1964 Olympic Games,
Olympic House, 57 Park Ave., New York, N. Y. 10016.

tary locations around the globe.
It will provide for the rapid ini-
tiation of additional circuits be-
tween the United States and al-
most any other location on the
earth.
The decision to proceed with
an independent military system
followed a recent decision not to
develop a “shared” commercial-
military system.
The Defense Department ex-
pects to replace the interim sys-
tem after about three years with
an advanced follow-on system.
