Battleships of this size must slide down the ways at exactly the right minute, and at 10:36 a.m. exactly, the battleship began to move and Mrs. Henry Wallace, wife of the vice president, broke the bottle of champagne on her bow and christened her Iowa.

H. Edmondson, 3930 S. 2d Street, was having such a grand time at the Brown Hotel's Bluegrass Room Saturday night, was the guest of four handsome soldiers, her "adopted sons." To them she is "Darling Mom," and as proof of their affection and appreciation of her hospitality every week-end, they threw an elegant party at the Brown. Among several other presents her birthday was last week the boys gave her a silver loving cup inscribed: "To our darling Mom. Tom, Bill, Jim, Lou." Treats soldiers like family "She's been wonderful to us," said Pvt.

Bill Greenstein, New York City. "We stay at her home every week-end and are treated like members of the family." "She cooks the kind of food we like.

"We were all in the hospital the same time with yellow jaundice and she came to see us." "She's been just swell to us and don't forget to mention Mr. Edmondson, he's swell, too," added Corp. Tom Hernandez of New Jersey. None of the boys knew each other before they came to Fort Bill was a hardware merchant, Jim a college student, Tom a professional dancer who played in "The Great Waltz" and "Heliza- poppin," and Lou a sewing machine mechanic and salesman.

Edmondson saw Tom dancing at a U.S.O. dance and asked him to join the group. Her daughter, formerly Mary Anne Edmondson, now Mrs. W. L.

While we gave the Pc.rty for Mom, we did it, in a way, for all the women in Louisville who are opening their homes to soldiers." Mrs. Edmondson, who is one of the volunteer workers at the U.S.O.

lounge in Central Station, said she was going to keep flowers in the loving cup and place the cup in front of the pictures of the boys. "They are like real sons to me," she said.

We know that all branches of the services are equally important, and that they depend on each other and must function as a group to be really successful. A strong Navy is important, but without strong air protection, battleships are far more vulnerable than they were before the advent of the airplane.

The Navy and Air Force may prepare a territory, but a land force must follow to deal the final blows. So, as this great new battleship, a fine addition to bur fleet, slid down the ways, I am sure that there was a prayer in all the hearts of the people watching her. The prayer was not just for her success, but for the success of all our forces fighting together, so that before long we might have again a peaceful world.
