Above all, Dr. Horton would like the church people to have the boys on their hearts and to ask God to bless them. Let the lads know you are doing this, he says. Spiritual Dividends

Dr. Horton says that the pastor and other churca officials ought to have a special visit with the outgoing soldier or sailor shortly before he leaves; that some church festivity ought to be arranged in his honor; and that formal mention of his expected departure ought to be made from the pulpit. All that the congregations do for their charges in the armed forces will pay handsome spiritual dividends Iater on, Dr. Horton predicts. For when the war has been fought and won and Johnny comes marching home, he will more than likely re-identify himself with the church that did not forget him.

U, S. HOSPITAL HAS BLACKOUT

Test Drill Brings Back Memories of 1918 to

Veterans.

The wail of a siren plunged the United States Veterans Administration Hospital into darkness last night in the first blackout drill to be held at the Cold Spring Rd. institution. Although it isn't cricket to bomb hospitals, some Axis bombardment squadrons have shown a decided lack of sportsmanship, and for that reason W. T. Hardaway, Veterans .|Hospital manager,” saw to it that the blackout order from Washington was carried out in the most realistic way.

Employees at Posts

Two minutes after the siren (sounded at 6 o'clock every window blind had been drawn, all but several very dim corridor lights were extinguished, employees stood at their posts, a guard barred all motorists from entering the grounds and all necessary movements of staff members were made with the

ald of carefully shaded flashlights and lanterns.

The 288 patients were forewarned of the test, but many of them had witnessed the real thing overseas in the last war when even the glow of a cigaret brought instant death from a sniper. World War II demands even more precautions with the increase of air attacks.

Few Defects Observed

Dr. W. E. Chambers, chief medical officer, went from corridor to corridor during the 10-minute test, seeing to it that all employees were at their posts. A few faults were observed, and the street lights on Cold Spring Rd. reflected on several windows, but tests at intervals from now on are expected to remove such defects. The * hospital uses municipal power but is equipped with an emergency source of power for operating rooms.
