CHAPLAINS CORNER By Chaplain D F Mullen

Lord teach us how to pray This was the request made by the Apostles Christ immediately gave them a short formula that we now know as the Lords Prayer Having been given to us by our Lord naturally it is and should be very popular Each one of us has uttered that prayer thousands of times But how many of us have really meditated on the meaning of those words Have we not said them in a more or less mechanical manner

Thus let us start with the first two words Our Father What else could Christ have meant but that God is the common Father of us all There is no class distinction with God He created everyone of us He is the Father of the poor the uneducated the ignorant as well as the elite and the rich Hence this common fatherhood results in a common brotherhood

Lt Donald F Mullen USNR ordained to the priesthood 18 years ago has come aboard the USNATB as Catholic chaplain and already has made the acquaintance of a great many officers and men He conducted his first services on the base Sunday

Chaplain Mullens last duties prior to entering the Navy were those of assistant pastor at Our Lady of the Rosary Church in Worcester Mass For nearly a score of years he has been active in the promotion of sports and musical programs for younger folks

A native of Holyoke he attainshyed his elementary and secondary education in Holyoke schools and later was graduated from the University of Ottawa He then went to St Marys Seminary in Baltimore Mci and was ordained to the priesthood in Springfield Mass in 1926 Since he has served as middotcurate at many pastorates throughout Massachusetts

During his high school and colshylege days Chaplain Mullen took an active interest in s p or ts especially baseball and hockey He also was active in the promotion of scholastic entertainment proshygrams

The Chaplains parents Mr and Mrs James F Mullen made their home in Holyoke and he has a brother Lt Edwin J Mullen ~ow on duty at the Navy Pre-Fhght School Wold Chamberlain Field Minneapolis

By Ensign OHver Allen USNR Scout and Raider School

There are only four kinds of poisonous snakes native to the United States and species of all four are found in Florida Learn to know these four and consider all others harmless Knowing these snakes and their habits lends itshyself directly to a knowledge of dangerous snakes of other parts of the world (to be discussed in anothshyer article)

Three of the four kinds of poishysonous snakes in our country beshylong to one family and are called Pit-Vipers They have similar general characteristics and their poison is Heamotoxis ie effectshying the blood cells more than the nervous system They have holshylow curved fangs hinged to the roof of the mouth and can open the

The fourth poisonous snake is the coral snake A beautifully colored slim docile snake that selshydom bites but whose poison drop

Coral Snake for drop is the most deadly of all North American snakes It is reshylated to the cobra and its venom is neuro-toxic ie it paralyzes its victims Its fangs are short straight and grooved It has a smooth ~ck and head not trianshygular and has a rounded narrow body Its colors are definite and make it easy to know It is brightshyly banded with evenly placed bands

1 of black yellow and red completely encircling the body It is positiveshyly identified by remembering that the head is black from the tip of its nose to the eyes then a narrow yellow band encircles the head and the next band is black From

mouth to 180 degrees enabling the neck to the tail the colors are them to bite a flat surface

The Pit-Vipers are rattlesnakes cotton-mouth water moccasins and copperhead snakes They have protruding jaws and narrow neck heavy bodies and short tail The pupil of the eye is eliptical and there is a small pit between the eye and nostril whence they derive their family names Word descripshytion of their general appearance ismiddot inadequate and it is a good idea

narrow yellow band separating wide black bands uniformly the length of its body The tail has no red but like the head has yellow and black bands

It is well to remember that snakes fear man and when apshyproached often become panicky (yes the snake) and are likely to do most any thing such as run freeze or strike in defense Snakes do not attack man but fight to

Diamond Black Rattlesnake protect themselves Almost all cases of poisonous snake bite ocshycur when someone steps on the snake or even worse put their hands or even sit on it

Snakes are protected by their natural coloration and are diffishycult to see_ They often know_that they are safer if they dont move so they remain quiet when danger approaches and lie perfectly still instead of running hence our warning WATCH YOUR STEP

Remember too that respect is safer than fear Dont let the disshyarming emotion fear grip you when confronted by snakes beshycause more people have been killed and injured by their fear and panic over snakes than snakes have ever killed Stand still think clearly and if you must kill the snake quietly and continue with your mission A blow on the neck usually is fatal to snakes although it may not render him harmless at once stay away from his head

If you are bitten remain calm and give proper first aid to yourshyself (this will be covered comshypletely in the next issue) Only about 12 to 15 percent of the pershysons bitten by poisonous snakes in this country die and that is usually because they do not get proper care immediately

CHAPLAINS CORNER By Chaplain D F Mullen

Lord teach us how to pray This was the request made by the Apostles Christ immediately gave them a short formula that we now know as the Lords Prayer Having been given to us by our Lord naturally it is and should be very popular Each one of us has uttered that prayer thousands of times But how many of us have really meditated on the meaning of those words Have we not said them in a more or less mechanical manner

Thus let us start with the first two words Our Father What else could Christ have meant but that God is the common Father of us all There is no class distinction with God He created everyone of us He is the Father of the poor the uneducated the ignorant as well as the elite and the rich Hence this common fatherhood results in a common brotherhood

Lt Donald F Mullen USNR ordained to the priesthood 18 years ago has come aboard the USNATB as Catholic chaplain and already has made the acquaintance of a great many officers and men He conducted his first services on the base Sunday

Chaplain Mullens last duties prior to entering the Navy were those of assistant pastor at Our Lady of the Rosary Church in Worcester Mass For nearly a score of years he has been active in the promotion of sports and musical programs for younger folks

A native of Holyoke he attainshyed his elementary and secondary education in Holyoke schools and later was graduated from the University of Ottawa He then went to St Marys Seminary in Baltimore Mci and was ordained to the priesthood in Springfield Mass in 1926 Since he has served as middotcurate at many pastorates throughout Massachusetts

During his high school and colshylege days Chaplain Mullen took an active interest in s p or ts especially baseball and hockey He also was active in the promotion of scholastic entertainment proshygrams

The Chaplains parents Mr and Mrs James F Mullen made their home in Holyoke and he has a brother Lt Edwin J Mullen ~ow on duty at the Navy Pre-Fhght School Wold Chamberlain Field Minneapolis

By Ensign OHver Allen USNR Scout and Raider School

There are only four kinds of poisonous snakes native to the United States and species of all four are found in Florida Learn to know these four and consider all others harmless Knowing these snakes and their habits lends itshyself directly to a knowledge of dangerous snakes of other parts of the world (to be discussed in anothshyer article)

Three of the four kinds of poishysonous snakes in our country beshylong to one family and are called Pit-Vipers They have similar general characteristics and their poison is Heamotoxis ie effectshying the blood cells more than the nervous system They have holshylow curved fangs hinged to the roof of the mouth and can open the

The fourth poisonous snake is the coral snake A beautifully colored slim docile snake that selshydom bites but whose poison drop

Coral Snake for drop is the most deadly of all North American snakes It is reshylated to the cobra and its venom is neuro-toxic ie it paralyzes its victims Its fangs are short straight and grooved It has a smooth ~ck and head not trianshygular and has a rounded narrow body Its colors are definite and make it easy to know It is brightshyly banded with evenly placed bands

1 of black yellow and red completely encircling the body It is positiveshyly identified by remembering that the head is black from the tip of its nose to the eyes then a narrow yellow band encircles the head and the next band is black From

mouth to 180 degrees enabling the neck to the tail the colors are them to bite a flat surface

The Pit-Vipers are rattlesnakes cotton-mouth water moccasins and copperhead snakes They have protruding jaws and narrow neck heavy bodies and short tail The pupil of the eye is eliptical and there is a small pit between the eye and nostril whence they derive their family names Word descripshytion of their general appearance ismiddot inadequate and it is a good idea

narrow yellow band separating wide black bands uniformly the length of its body The tail has no red but like the head has yellow and black bands

It is well to remember that snakes fear man and when apshyproached often become panicky (yes the snake) and are likely to do most any thing such as run freeze or strike in defense Snakes do not attack man but fight to

Diamond Black Rattlesnake protect themselves Almost all cases of poisonous snake bite ocshycur when someone steps on the snake or even worse put their hands or even sit on it

Snakes are protected by their natural coloration and are diffishycult to see_ They often know_that they are safer if they dont move so they remain quiet when danger approaches and lie perfectly still instead of running hence our warning WATCH YOUR STEP

Remember too that respect is safer than fear Dont let the disshyarming emotion fear grip you when confronted by snakes beshycause more people have been killed and injured by their fear and panic over snakes than snakes have ever killed Stand still think clearly and if you must kill the snake quietly and continue with your mission A blow on the neck usually is fatal to snakes although it may not render him harmless at once stay away from his head

If you are bitten remain calm and give proper first aid to yourshyself (this will be covered comshypletely in the next issue) Only about 12 to 15 percent of the pershysons bitten by poisonous snakes in this country die and that is usually because they do not get proper care immediately

Lt Donald F Mullen USNR ordained to the priesthood 18 years ago has come aboard the USNATB as Catholic chaplain and already has made the acquaintance of a great many officers and men He conducted his first services on the base Sunday

Chaplain Mullens last duties prior to entering the Navy were those of assistant pastor at Our Lady of the Rosary Church in Worcester Mass For nearly a score of years he has been active in the promotion of sports and musical programs for younger folks

A native of Holyoke he attainshyed his elementary and secondary education in Holyoke schools and later was graduated from the University of Ottawa He then went to St Marys Seminary in Baltimore Mci and was ordained to the priesthood in Springfield Mass in 1926 Since he has served as middotcurate at many pastorates throughout Massachusetts

During his high school and colshylege days Chaplain Mullen took an active interest in s p or ts especially baseball and hockey He also was active in the promotion of scholastic entertainment proshygrams

The Chaplains parents Mr and Mrs James F Mullen made their home in Holyoke and he has a brother Lt Edwin J Mullen ~ow on duty at the Navy Pre-Fhght School Wold Chamberlain Field Minneapolis

By Ensign OHver Allen USNR Scout and Raider School

There are only four kinds of poisonous snakes native to the United States and species of all four are found in Florida Learn to know these four and consider all others harmless Knowing these snakes and their habits lends itshyself directly to a knowledge of dangerous snakes of other parts of the world (to be discussed in anothshyer article)

Three of the four kinds of poishysonous snakes in our country beshylong to one family and are called Pit-Vipers They have similar general characteristics and their poison is Heamotoxis ie effectshying the blood cells more than the nervous system They have holshylow curved fangs hinged to the roof of the mouth and can open the

The fourth poisonous snake is the coral snake A beautifully colored slim docile snake that selshydom bites but whose poison drop

Coral Snake for drop is the most deadly of all North American snakes It is reshylated to the cobra and its venom is neuro-toxic ie it paralyzes its victims Its fangs are short straight and grooved It has a smooth ~ck and head not trianshygular and has a rounded narrow body Its colors are definite and make it easy to know It is brightshyly banded with evenly placed bands

1 of black yellow and red completely encircling the body It is positiveshyly identified by remembering that the head is black from the tip of its nose to the eyes then a narrow yellow band encircles the head and the next band is black From

mouth to 180 degrees enabling the neck to the tail the colors are them to bite a flat surface

The Pit-Vipers are rattlesnakes cotton-mouth water moccasins and copperhead snakes They have protruding jaws and narrow neck heavy bodies and short tail The pupil of the eye is eliptical and there is a small pit between the eye and nostril whence they derive their family names Word descripshytion of their general appearance ismiddot inadequate and it is a good idea

narrow yellow band separating wide black bands uniformly the length of its body The tail has no red but like the head has yellow and black bands

It is well to remember that snakes fear man and when apshyproached often become panicky (yes the snake) and are likely to do most any thing such as run freeze or strike in defense Snakes do not attack man but fight to

Diamond Black Rattlesnake protect themselves Almost all cases of poisonous snake bite ocshycur when someone steps on the snake or even worse put their hands or even sit on it

Snakes are protected by their natural coloration and are diffishycult to see_ They often know_that they are safer if they dont move so they remain quiet when danger approaches and lie perfectly still instead of running hence our warning WATCH YOUR STEP

Remember too that respect is safer than fear Dont let the disshyarming emotion fear grip you when confronted by snakes beshycause more people have been killed and injured by their fear and panic over snakes than snakes have ever killed Stand still think clearly and if you must kill the snake quietly and continue with your mission A blow on the neck usually is fatal to snakes although it may not render him harmless at once stay away from his head

If you are bitten remain calm and give proper first aid to yourshyself (this will be covered comshypletely in the next issue) Only about 12 to 15 percent of the pershysons bitten by poisonous snakes in this country die and that is usually because they do not get proper care immediately

Chaplain Mullens last duties prior to entering the Navy were those of assistant pastor at Our Lady of the Rosary Church in Worcester Mass For nearly a score of years he has been active in the promotion of sports and musical programs for younger folks

A native of Holyoke he attainshyed his elementary and secondary education in Holyoke schools and later was graduated from the University of Ottawa He then went to St Marys Seminary in Baltimore Mci and was ordained to the priesthood in Springfield Mass in 1926 Since he has served as middotcurate at many pastorates throughout Massachusetts

During his high school and colshylege days Chaplain Mullen took an active interest in s p or ts especially baseball and hockey He also was active in the promotion of scholastic entertainment proshygrams

The Chaplains parents Mr and Mrs James F Mullen made their home in Holyoke and he has a brother Lt Edwin J Mullen ~ow on duty at the Navy Pre-Fhght School Wold Chamberlain Field Minneapolis

By Ensign OHver Allen USNR Scout and Raider School

There are only four kinds of poisonous snakes native to the United States and species of all four are found in Florida Learn to know these four and consider all others harmless Knowing these snakes and their habits lends itshyself directly to a knowledge of dangerous snakes of other parts of the world (to be discussed in anothshyer article)

Three of the four kinds of poishysonous snakes in our country beshylong to one family and are called Pit-Vipers They have similar general characteristics and their poison is Heamotoxis ie effectshying the blood cells more than the nervous system They have holshylow curved fangs hinged to the roof of the mouth and can open the

The fourth poisonous snake is the coral snake A beautifully colored slim docile snake that selshydom bites but whose poison drop

Coral Snake for drop is the most deadly of all North American snakes It is reshylated to the cobra and its venom is neuro-toxic ie it paralyzes its victims Its fangs are short straight and grooved It has a smooth ~ck and head not trianshygular and has a rounded narrow body Its colors are definite and make it easy to know It is brightshyly banded with evenly placed bands

1 of black yellow and red completely encircling the body It is positiveshyly identified by remembering that the head is black from the tip of its nose to the eyes then a narrow yellow band encircles the head and the next band is black From

mouth to 180 degrees enabling the neck to the tail the colors are them to bite a flat surface

The Pit-Vipers are rattlesnakes cotton-mouth water moccasins and copperhead snakes They have protruding jaws and narrow neck heavy bodies and short tail The pupil of the eye is eliptical and there is a small pit between the eye and nostril whence they derive their family names Word descripshytion of their general appearance ismiddot inadequate and it is a good idea

narrow yellow band separating wide black bands uniformly the length of its body The tail has no red but like the head has yellow and black bands

It is well to remember that snakes fear man and when apshyproached often become panicky (yes the snake) and are likely to do most any thing such as run freeze or strike in defense Snakes do not attack man but fight to

Diamond Black Rattlesnake protect themselves Almost all cases of poisonous snake bite ocshycur when someone steps on the snake or even worse put their hands or even sit on it

Snakes are protected by their natural coloration and are diffishycult to see_ They often know_that they are safer if they dont move so they remain quiet when danger approaches and lie perfectly still instead of running hence our warning WATCH YOUR STEP

Remember too that respect is safer than fear Dont let the disshyarming emotion fear grip you when confronted by snakes beshycause more people have been killed and injured by their fear and panic over snakes than snakes have ever killed Stand still think clearly and if you must kill the snake quietly and continue with your mission A blow on the neck usually is fatal to snakes although it may not render him harmless at once stay away from his head

If you are bitten remain calm and give proper first aid to yourshyself (this will be covered comshypletely in the next issue) Only about 12 to 15 percent of the pershysons bitten by poisonous snakes in this country die and that is usually because they do not get proper care immediately
