ORDER of the EASTERN STAR
of the
STATE OF NEW YORK
The Order of the Eastern Star of New York salutes the Military Chaplains of the United States and all the Chaplains of the Armed Forces, wherever they may be stationed over the world. The Order of the Eastern Star of the State of New York has an especial interest in the work of the Chaplains and has dedicated its Order to assist in the furtherance of their work in every way possible. At the 33rd Annual Convention, assembled at New York City, the Order of the Eastern Star salutes Dr. Edward L. R. Elson, President, and the officers assembled. May they know that the Order of the Eastern Star, through their Grand Matron, Grand Patron and Grand Secretary, are vitally
interested in promoting their work.

April, 1958
The President's Corner
Now Is The Time
Dear Chaplain:
I look forward with joy to meeting you in New York City in a few days. The Convention Committee has gone "all out" to make the 1958 Convention the best in our history. This will be a time for Chaplains to speak up on behalf of the total ministry to the Armed Forces. The panels on Reserve, National Guard, and Ecclesiastical matters ought to be lively affairs.
And the Convention will be a great time for listening to the great and articulate in the nation. The Memorial Dinner alone is worth every effort you make to be present for on that night the program will be graced by many of the most eminent religious, political, and military leaders of our day. And every other hour is rich.
And what a bargain! Because some laymen have been generous in subsidy you come at a nominal price. It is called the "package deal." Married chaplains should bring their ladies to New York.
I will see you in the big city at the big Convention where we trust a great note of affirmation for God and country will resound around the world: April 22-24.
Sincerely yours,
Edward L. R. Elson
From The Desk Of The Executive Secretary
Chaplain (Lt. Col.) WILLIAM GOLDER, USA The New York Convention 22-24 April gives promise of being one of the most significant conferences in MCA history of thirty-three years. Through the pages of this magazine our esteemed editor, Chaplain Roy Honeywell has provided our readers with helpful information as to program, speakers and all other details pertaining to the Hotel Astor meeting. One need not be a prophet's son to sense the inspiration, information and fellowship in store for us in the vicinity of Times Square.
It is with a special sense of pleasure that I present the financial statement in this issue. A glimpse into the past two years will bring into focus National Headquarters personalities, the office staff who have served faithfully and well. May I express here my sincere and heartfelt gratitude for their devoted and tireless service and cooperation. Hats off to the secretaries, Mrs. M. D. Willis and Mrs. William Green, Mr. Rice, our bookkeeper, who has kept the record so accurately and Mr. and Mrs. Ford, our resident managers. A grand vote of thanks too, to Mrs. W. Byrn Boswell who has responded so graciously and efficiently each time we have pressed the panic button for additional secretarial assistance. Then may I indicate my warm and heartfelt thanks to Chaplain (Col.) John J. Mullaney (my boss) and the Command Chaplain of the Military District of Washington for his patience (and endurance) in the time consuming area with respect to the two hats I've been wearing. In behalf of the Executive Committee . all members and friends of the Association thanks to the Chief of Army Chaplains (Maj. General) Patrick J. Ryan, USA for the tremendous impact of his more than usual interest in every aspect and detail of our organization. Any achievement reflected in this report is due largely to his vision and notable leadership in the Anniversary Offering which has been a real life line year after year. Sincere appreciation is expressed here to his Navy and Air Force counterparts, Rear Admiral Edward B. Harp, CHC, USN and Chaplain (Maj. General) Charles I. Carpenter, USAF.
During the past two years I have learned that the MCA is an organization of no little merit. Founded upon the consecrated efforts of great men of strength, the obligation is now ours to perpetuate their devoted interest. Much depends upon our immediate program. With faith and intelligent courage may we attend the national convention assured of the Association's significant future.

Youth Deserves to Know, by G. Curtis Jones, New York, Macmillan, 134 pp., $2.95.
This sane and understanding book by the father of five boys is designed to help thoughtful and earnest teen- / agers deal intelligently with the in- 4\\ dividual and group problems they will meet in the community and in school and college. Chapters deal in a very practical way wth Life, Your Age, College, Drinking, Sex, Marriage, Work, Security, Honesty, Freedom, People, and Thinking. The author does not write down to his readers from an attitude of intellectual or moral superiority and shows no lack of sophistication. No adolescent reader need feel humiliated by his ignorance or rebuked for his weakness. Rather he will respect the wise counsel of an experienced friend who expects great haplains have written from all over the world to tell us that, things of modern youth though he next to the Bible, The Upper Room is the one item of religious recognizes incomprehensible follies for literature most in demand by men and women in the armed what they are.

Bells are uniquely effective
in communicating this message. Fortunately, good bells can now be obtained at modest cost. A Schulmerich carillon, with bell-metal tones of surpassing beauty, can be installed for as little as $2500-a fraction of the cost of traditional cast bells, yet one of the most potent forces at your command to ring out a welcome to those in need of the comfort of church membership. A demonstration can be arranged
