Commendation Ribbon, the Amer

for Coastal Waters, European-
African, and Asiatic duty. On
thek latter he has stars for five
engagements in the Pacific, one in
the' Philippines, and two in the
Mediterranean area.
Glad to be Aboard
While it is a little early for
the Captain to make a statement
of policy. for the future, he states
that he is glad to be aboard and
is looking forward to a very pleas
ant tour Of duty with the unit..
Unfortunately, the Bureau of Na
val personnel was unable at this
time to give him any definite in
formation as to when NROTC uni
forms would be provided for lib
erty wear.

party including Commander Mul

Speaking of medical men, the
unit is to have a new medical
oficer next semester, Ralph J.
Pelegrin, a full lieutenant. Tern
porarily Lt. Commander Wisner
will serve as executive officer, but

the near fuutre.

and visitor for the weekend, is
now in ship's company at Pier

ced recently that he was making
$lOO,OOO available for the estab
lishment of the Palmer Founda
tion which will have as its para
mount objective the (promotion
among the people of an attitude of
fairness and unselfishness in per
sonal and public affairs.
According to Mr. Palmer, the
work of the Foundatioin is to be
carried on through . the public
schools, although it would not be
limited to these media if more
effective ones were found.
A plan of procedure has not
been adopted, and the first project
of the Foundation will be the
award• of cash prizes for the most
meritorious suggestions as to how
the work should be carried out.
A $lOOO cash prize will be award
ed for the suggestion deemed most
worthy and $5OO for the next best
proposal. Specifically, suggestions
should answer this question:
"How best may we inculcate in
young people a consciousness and
appreciation of, and a devotion to,_
the principles of morality that are
embodied in the Golden Rule—
'Do unto others as you would have
others do unto you'?"
Suggestions may be submitted

peace ior which we as a nation
have been striving," Mr. Palmer
said. ."We have learned by now
that peace is not something to be
taken for granted but is a condi
tion which can be maintained only
by the unselfish devotion of many
millions of people. Peace then, or
the maintenance of peace, must
begin at home in the relationship
of one individual to another."

America, too, was stepping out in the 1890's. Her cities were
growing, populations were spreading. Railway Express, then as now,
provided her with a nation-wide shipping service, including the bag
gage and laundry needs of innumerable college students.. Today, dur
ing the emergency, the country's shipping needs are heavily strained.
So, please do this with your baggage and home-going bundles: Pack
and wrap securely, address clearly, and get them started early.
