KUSZTOS SELF-DISCIPLINE Unfortunate indeed is the man who will not discipline himself. I was going to say “cannot and will not,” but any fnan can discipline himself who really wants to. One evidence of self-discipline is the right mentái attitude tpward constructive criticism. None of us is perfect. We need criticism. If we can’t take it. we deny ourselves a vitally important factor in our personal progress. No man who actually feels that his methods of work j cannot be improved is self-dis: ciplined. Self-discipline or lack of it. is evidenced in one’s work habits. The man who doesn’t plan his work for each day the evening before is not self disciplined. Neither is the man who does not work consistently every hour of each working day. Self-discipline enables you to hold your temper when someone deliberately or unconsciously irritates you. You don’t make sales when you are angry; you don’t follow instructions well when your temper has the best of you; you don’t have influence when you lose your head. Self-discipline enables you to avoid snap judgment. Two cousins serving on naval vessels in the Pacific area did not know it at the time but they were close enough together on January 15th as one vessel, an oil tender, refueled the other, a destroyer escort. A letter written by one cousin to the other and delivered on January 20, with information as to which ship he was serving on, led to a reunion. This was the first time they had seen each other in 21 months. They spent two hours together on the destroyer escort. They arcú Louis Lazar, petty officer 3rd class, and Elmer John Kusztos, petty officer 3rd class, both members of Branch 63, Barberton, Ohio Kusztos, a machinist’s mate on the destroyer escort U.S.S. Haas, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Kusztos of Barberton, O. He served six months in the Atlantic fleet and was recently transferred to the Pacific fleet. Lazar yeoman cn the tender U.S.S. j Leopard, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. James Lazar of Barberton, O. He volunteered for the services at the age of 17 in May, 1943, and has been on sea duty since his boot training. Lazar, on January 20, received a letter fi'am Kusztos stating: “Here I am in the Pacific aboard a DE 424 but there are so many islands I doubt if we ever get to meet each other.” Lazar remembered his ship refueled a ve;sel of the same name just a few days before and began checking up and that led to the reunion. Self-discipline .permits you to avoid making rash and ill-considered promises and statements. Nothing so undermines confidence as. broken promises. These days are momentous days. They require of all of us, in every phase of life, good, old-fashioned discipline—and self discipline is the most important member of the discipline family. O. Sam Cummings. The real difference between men is energy. A strong will, a settled purpose, an invincible determination, can accomplish almost anything; and in this lies the distinction between great men and little men.

LITTLE CHURCH AT THE CORNER There is a little church at the corner, Just a Utile church that many love, And here they come for the blessings Bestowed upon them from our God above. The doors are open to one and all, And often an old mother comes to pray, And to ask God for the safe return Of her loved ones who have gone aivay. Many of the Church’s sons have grown And gone beyond the seas to fight, But memories of the church at. the corner Will sustain them in many a plight. Someday the choir ‘Wülfing rógtnn Loud and joyful in the oiafashioned way, We’ll knew then that every mother’s son At last has come back home to stay. When the clouds of ivar have passed away, And the hopes for peace at last come true, To the little church at the corner we'll go And pray: “Dear God, I’m glad I trusted you.” But until that glorious day ívül come, I’ll oo and pray along wich all of you. At the little place of worship at the corner. For it’s your church, — and my church too. — (Written in honor of St. Sebastian’s Church in Belle Vernon on St. Sebastian’s Day.)
