Company C Wins
Extra Weekend
Members of Company C enjoyed
a hard earned weekend liberty on
August 26. Guided by its Company
Commander, Bill Copeland and it s
Platoon Leaders, Stewart McConaghy,
and Henry Slocum the company came
up from the bottom to win three
competitions and the extra award ;
the weekend liberty. Company C is
the first company to win weekend
liberty since the permanent establishment of the weekly competition of
July 26.
The first experimental competition
was won by Company B with the
score of 33. Company B brought up
the rear with 19. This defeat made
C Company more determined. Th ey
"got on the ball" and rolled into first
place in August 3 competition with a
one point lead on Company A. The
next competition on August 10 witnessed a repeat performance with a
orte point lead on Company B.
Throughout these two competitions C
Company won on its personal inspection, company drill, quarters inspection and mess orderliness. The Company was well on its way to winning
the next competition when Company
A, composed of the new men, beat
them to the top by the small margin
of one-half a point. Undaunted by
their loss the boys decided to figh t
fire with flre. On August 24, the
Company won its third competition
with high scores in company drill,
quarters inspection and mess hall activities. Company C is carrying the
blue flag for another week; however,

The standard Navy Physical Fitness
test consists of five events designed
to test th# agility, strength and endurance of various muscles of the
body. The first is a timed event, the
squat thrust, which measures general
ability and endurance. Sit ups, the
second event measures the strength
and endurance of the stomach muscles. The third contest, push ups, determines arm. and body strength. The
last two events, squat jumps and pull
ups, measure leg and arm strength.
Specific points are given in each event for the number performed. The
points are then totaled and divided
by five to obtain the score.
Lisehora Scores 87

A/S Tony Lisehora 's score of 87 is
the highest ever made in this unit.
To attain this score, Lisehora performed 38 squat jump s in one minute,
206 set ups, 70 push ups, 128 squat
jumps, and 18 pull ups . Lisehora
gained much of his strength from the
farm life he led back home,- but he
has also devoted many afternoons
to gym work to reach his present position . Undoubtedly, his record is one
of the highest in the Fourth Naval
District . Records of his achievements
are being sent to the District Training Officer.
The Battalion Commander, A/S
Rodney C. Williams, made the second highest score, a 75. Eighteen other men made scores of 73, 72, 71 and
70. The maj ority of the scores are
in. the sixties with only a small minority below this. Thus the units average has been raised considerably
and will probably be one of the best
in the district.
Smith Comments
Explaining the improved physical
condition of the men Mr . Smith stated that the calesthenics done in the
gym periods have strengthened many
neglected muscles, and that many
men have spent more time developing
themselves in fear of being put back
in basic physical training. Approximately the lower 30 percent will remain or be placed in the tougher basic course. The upper group will remain in the Maintenance Unit of PT2
playing such contact sports as soccer and football.

LIBRARY
ADDITIONS
In the college library many of the
current books, both fiction and nonfiction , may be found. Beginning as a
regular feature this week, this
column will give short synopses of
the books available in "Ye Olde Reading Room."
"Behind the Rising Sun" by James
R . Young deals with life in Japan
prior to the World War II. Mr. Young
was the speaker at the 1944 commencement exercises last May.
"Bedford Village," by Hervey Allen , author of "Anthony Adverse", is
the second volume of a series of historical novels about life in the American colonies. The firs t novel was
"The Forest and the Fort" < also- in
the library. ) The clearing at Bedford Village in the mountains east of
the present site of Pittsburgh and the
surrounding country, is the scene
of this novel.
"Long, Long Ago" by Alexander
Woollcott is the gleanings of the la'st
ten years of his work as a writer and
radio speaker .
A Reporter for Time Magazine,
Robert Sherrod, has written the book
"Tarawa". This is a vivid first hand
account of the battle of United States
Marines for Tarawa in November,
1943. Here is an eyewitness minuteto-minute account of the capture of
Tarawa by our Marines. Thoroughly
authentic and vivid to the point of
ghastliness.
"Victoria Grandolet" , by Henry
Bellamann (also have his "Kings
Row") is a novel about an egocentric
middle-class New England girl who
marries into an old Louisiana family,
bound inescapably by tradition. Mr.
Bellamann's most recent work is being boosted as a profound psychological novel . The outstanding quality
lies in the mood which the novelist
creates. It is Louisiana with its
swamps, miasma , and the sweep of
the Mississippi River.

FIVE YEARS AGO . . .
. . . Great Britain declared war upon Germany. This
has involved all the nations of the earth in one way

or another. For five long, heartbreaking years the peoples of Europe
have lived in a fiendish , manmade Hell. The French , Polish , Czech?
Dutch , Norwegian , and Russian peoples have suffered , died, and rot ;
ted that the whims p i a, comic, German megalomaniac might be satisfied. At last the day of reckoning looms near upon the horizon.
Through "blood , sweat , and tears " men again turn , as they did twentyfive years ago, to search for a way that will lead to peace. Today let
thoug htful men and women revive within themselves a burning desire
to win this war , and to find the answer to the riddle of eternal peace.
Let them find an assurance that this slaughter shall not again occur
in our time. No*matter how dark the outlook may be for achieving this,
always remember that:
" There must be darkness where you are,
For you to see a star. "
THE FIRST MONDAY . . .
. . . in September is the date chosen by organized labor
as its special anniversary. Congress passed a bill , ( 1894), making this
a legal .public holiday. The act creating the holiday formall y defined it
as ''the day celebrated and known as Labor 's Holiday. " Of course,
Congress, has no power to prescribe legal holidays, for this lies with*
in the province of state authority , but this act does create a national
holiday in. the District o£ Columbia and for all federa l government
employees, Most states have followed the example of Congress, and
many, provinces '.of .Canada,; Labo'r Day 1944 is especially significant
because of the huge warioutput by American laborers.

SOCCER
For October Clashes

Calling balls and strikes and passing decisions on close plays at the bases are not the only duties of baseball umpires. Occasionally they face a problem such as the one which threatened to start a riot at Shibe Park , Philadelphia in an Athletics and Chicago double-header on August 19.
The A's were at bat, bases loaded and one away. Eddie Busch popped to
Infield er Leroy Schalk, but the Sox second baseman dropped the ball, and
as the three runners were on their way, threw to Skeeter Webb at second.
Webb, apparently thinking that .he was in the middle of a double-play ,
threw to first , only to find that first baseman Hal Trosky was nowhere near
the base. Busch, the batter, in the meantime hadn't moved from the batter's box and a hectic scramble finally ended with the ball at first base.
The court's decision : Busch was automatically out on an infield fly; Hayes
liad scored a run, and the final out came through Kell's passing of McGhee
on the paths between second and third.

should be compelled to teach one illiterate.
The Moro language was the first
with which Dr. Laubach experimented, and from this he formed the founPhone — 127J
dation of his later teaching methods.
The Moro language has sixteen separate sounds, four vowel and twelve
consonant , which Dr . Laubach developed into a phonetic alphabet . The
alphabet is learned by the association of sounds with pictures and
printed syllables.
(Continued from page 1)
Dr . Laubach has j ust returned from
a tour in South America where his
method of teaching illiterates is becoming widespread . He visited Columbia , where the people were passing a bill to appropriate $100,000,000
for an adult education program . In
Ecuador , the people who knew how
to read were made to teach those
who did not know how to read. In
this way many Ecuadorians were
taught simple reading and writing.
Peru and Bolivia followed the same
method. In Haiti , the people were
being taught French ; a very difficult
task because their native tongue is
Creole. Dr . Laubach suggested the
native Creole tongue, a dialect combination of French and Spanish , be
taught instead of French.

U. S. Opportunity
Dr . Laubach believes that a spirit
of cooperation and friendliness is
fostered by the application of his now
beloved program of "Each one teach

Dr . Laubach urges that the United
States take advantage of the opportunity to spread adult education in
the post-war world.
