Twenty years ago this month Americans were getting
ready to enjoy Thanksgiving turkeys oblivious of the storm
clouds over Europe. Shortly thereafter they were jolted from
complacency by the war that was to take thousands of Ameri
can lives before it ended.
Next Thursday we sit down to our Thanksgiving dinner
not complacent but yet secure in our knowledge that we are
ready for any new storm that may break not only over Europe
but also our own country. So we are thankful that we have
the means and the leaders to help us weather any storm that
may threaten us and our country. But never no never must
we relax our vigilance or become overconfident for then the
forces of evil personified by the communists will triumph and
destroy any reasons we might have for being thankful.
Thanksgiving is the traditional time for the gathering of
families and friends in commemoration of. the day years ago
when our ancestors celebrated the harvest with a feast of thanks
giving. And let us not forget the dangers that beset them and the
determined efforts they made to preserve that day against the
same dangers that though in different form threaten us today.
These are war-like people engaged in violent and subversive
efforts to obliterate civilization and its many freedoms.
—oOo—
Fourteen military personnel were killed in private vehicle
accidents by Oct. 31 this year. Thus the total number killed
during the first ten months of this year is only eleven less than
the total for 1960. This alarming rate of increase must be
stopped and every possible measure must be taken to prevent
this needless destruction of our most valuable asset the fight
ing. man.
Measures necessary to reduce this dangerous vehicle ac
cident trend include constant safe driving reminders safety
talks and films exhibits or pcitures of the violence of vehicle
accidents handouts posters followed by necessary and pert
inent punitive actions where warranted.
Commanders at all levels musrt take active and aggressive
steps to make each driver realize that safe driving practices
are vital of his existence and that any violation thereof in all
probability will result in death injury or financial Ices to
himself his family his friends or his fellow man.

I REVIEW
By MARGARET HARDIN
Chief Librarian
YOU CAN TRUST THE COM
MUNISTS by Dr. Fred Schwarz
is an eye opener and an eyebrow
raiser. The sub-title "to do ex
actly as they say" brings forth
tin chilling realization that the
Communists are doing what they
have said in the past and are
saying now in their march to
conquer the world. Their time
table for world conquest is pub
lished and thus far they are on
schedule.
Dr. Schwartz contends that un
til each individual American ac
cepts the fact this is the only
way a Communist can be trusted
—that is relied upon to conquer
and kill then Americans will
never be aware of the acute dan
ger of Communism. There is no
appeasement. There is no hope of
the Communists changing their
beliefs.
Why does Communism appeal
to college students? Why does it
appeal to various millionaires
Why does it appeal to uneducated
people? Exactly how does a Com
munist agent work? What are
front organizations? But basic of
all What can you as one person
do to combat Communism.
Communists are endowed with
patience. They do not expect to
gain their goals in weeks or
months. They are diligent work
ers. As the book states: "They
will promise anything to any
group in order to gain confi
dence and be elected to an offi
cial position. They have a simple
formula for action. It may be
summed up as: Discover what
people want promise it to them
and go to work to get it for them
that you may come to power over
them. This is the Communist pro
gram of action in any situation.
The Communists study the
groups that compose a given so
ciety. They study the emotions of
each group their longings and
their grievances and they devise
a program to exploit these am
bitions and resentments. The
Communist is not at all disturbed
by the fact that he may be work
ing simultaneously for two groups
with conflicting interests. They
have one objective to come to
power. They will do whatever is
necessary for them to achieve this
goal. Any method they use any
way they use it any result it
may have is justifiable ot them.
Resistance the Communists
would have us believe is impos
sible. But in clear understand
able terms this book shows what
you can do for counterattack.
The answer lies in knowledge.
The Communists utilize four
things to recruit the young intel
lectual. These are: disenchant
ment with capitalism materialist
philosophy intellectual pride and
unfulfilled religious need. These
seen to be powerful and con
vincing factors in recruiting fu
ture Communists. Dr. Schwarz
contends that any individual who
knows the fallacies existent in
these factors can never be tricked
nor betrayed into aiding the Com
munist cause.
YOU CAN TRUST THE COM
MUNISTS consolidates scattered
personal knowledge and vague be
liefs into a solid understanding of
Cummuiiism. This book is well
worth reading. It may be checked
out at either the Post or Academ
ic Branch Library.

During the exercise an emer
