As incredible as ' it seems, there are those who will vouch that the army has issued orders of this sort. That explanation is difficult' tc comprehend.

These comprise the blbtd lame and halt, the old folks who aire on pay rolls of some kind receiving uiti Irom the ?ui .rnmoirt. With the elimination of \VPA, there has been a general concept .hi t relief of ali sorts will be halted. T.his is far from true, us these 30,000,000 people, men and women of all races and creeds, are dependent upon the United States government for their sus^ tenunce and will have to be taken cure of.

Lindquist. (Colonel), Chief of the Chaplain ? ~ Urarrrtr, Pmrrtn Service command. There were 20.000 services held, a large proportion of which were outdoors. This, it is pointed out, is the result of the Army ebnpluins taking the services to the men when duties or other factors prevented them from attending a centralized service. Sacraments were administered on 1F.740 occasions to 120.722 participants. Chaplains have officiated at l OS' marriages and have baptized 309 persons, including infants. Hospital and guardhouse visits numbered 19,000. Chaplains also y;,sit?<T "1,904 services, cirttlnn antt military, other than those conduct ed by themselves.
