Aongs to Qallon Club Time on Your Hands? When it is 11 a.m. in Chicago, it is 5 a.m. in the South Pacific. The dawn is just creeping up, and shadows are lifting from the long heavy artillery hidden in the jungle growth. Already the air is hot and sultry. When it is 12 noon in Chicago, it is 6 p.m. in Italy. The sun is down, and it is almost dusk. Soldiers who have not taken their shoes off for more than two weeks open their K-rations amid whining shells and the rattle of machine guns. When it is 11 a.m. and 12 noon in the Chapel of Mundelein College, the Rosary is being recited for the soldiers in combat zones, by students who have lunch at these hours. Saying the Rosary takes only from 8 to 10 minutes. Can't we all sacrifice this much time from our lunch period today, and every day? Chicago Sun Photo.
