“The fact there was to be an Episcopal service was a surprise because Episcopalians are few and far between in this part of

the globe.

"You can imagine my surprise, when, after the service and after I had received Communion, I talked with the chaplain, learned be was a rector of the Episcopal Church, introduced myself, and found out he was Lieutenant Benjamin B. Brown, rector of the Church of the Advent, Cape May. New Jersey. “Lieutenant Brown is a close friend of Rev.

PVT. NORMAN WENZEL Battery B, 602 FA Bn (Pk) Camp Hale, Colo. FROM THE SOUTH: To the Editor: It has been three months now since I entered the service. Practically all of the first month was spent in the reserve pool for Chaplains. There I took a concentrated course in the chaplains’ work and I had the opportunity to do all kinds of practical work. Fortunately I was under the supervision of two of the finest chaplains in the service. It was good to be there with those Men

of God.

The last two months I havi been at this present station. I has been very interesting indeed to see the loose ends of this new camp ipulled together and made tt function with a degree of smoothness and to see the thousands of troops coming into camp and cupying the barracks. These two months have been filled with plenty of work, which brought me varied experiences. I have worked longer hours than ever before in my life, taking only one day off from duty since entering the service. The personal counseling with the men is most interesting. Every man's case is a different case. It has been my privilege to participate in several Jewish services. 1 have had a good time working with these men. Also my work with the Negro troops has been very enjoyable. We had our first service in the Negro Troop Chapel yesterday. The chapel was filled

capacity.

In less than a month after my arrival here I was appointed Chief of the Chaplain Branch. The responsibilities of this office are varied. 'Among them is the responsibility of seeing that all men , in our station have religious services. To do this means work. For example, yesterday 1 con-

ducted five services.

1 thought you might be glad to get this information to pass on to our many friends of Cape May

Sincorcly,

So, may I take this opportunity of thanking you for your fine cooperation and voice the hope that I will merit it again this coming

year.

The Commissioner said withholding is required if the established payroll ended on of after January 1, 1048.

However, if the established payroll period ended on or before December 81, 1942, no with-

GAS IS VITAL WAR MATERIAL

Use It Wisely!

UP — UP — UP goes the call for gas to make tanks, guu., ships and other weapons. UP—UP—UP goes the call for gas to heat civilian homes and cook war workers’ meals. As gas is made from coal, coke and oil, increasing demands for gas rnr-mn more and more carloads of coal, cnlre and oil must be transported. War plants must have gas and other fuels. Transportation congestion must be relieved so railroads can move war goods faster. That’s why your Government is a«Hng you to ok gas wisely and avoid waste.
