Saying that he hud been for

down on whether he thought this

young man between 18 and Ji-'S- j

year of service to his government, j
Whether the plan should apply (
to young women, too, the Presi-

would depend on the legislation
itself. Asked flatly whether he
thought the training should be
military, the President instead of
answering directly posed several
questions of his own, asking
whether instruction in cooking or
carpentry could be considered as

Gets Silver Star
Staff Sergeant Lewis H. Wright,
son of William T. Wiight, Route 1,
Kosse. has been awarded the Silver
Star, third highest Army decora-
tion, the public relations office of
his post in the Southwest Pacific
lias announced.
The award was -made for out- j
standing heroism and gallantry in j
action above and beyond the call I
f duty during the campaign which !
won control of the Admiraltj* Is-
lands. The action thus rewarded
came when the Americans were ,
attacked by the enemy while on i
patrol, and Sgt. Wright pressed
forward in spite of heavy odds
and in an intense rain of fire to
break up the 'enemy attack on his
comrades.
The Kosse soldier was leading ,
a reconnaissance patrol through
enemy territory whan he encoun-
tered an enemy soldier whom he
killed. In this revealing his posi-
tion to the enemy, he laid himself
open to an attack in force which
he succeeded in repulsing. Instead
of then withdrawing to secure ad-
ditional men, he pressed forward,
driving the Japanese from their
defenses by throwing hand gre-
nades into the pits in which they
< hud taken up defense positions,
leading to their complete destruc-
tion by the rest of his patrol.

Things am'ohty different for "Doc" these days. He looks
back wistfully to ,ne time when he had plenty of gas, tires and
*
other products for his customers . . . when experienced help
was plentiful . . . cr.rJ his service was something he could —and
did — brag about.
Today — !.e has to work harder and longer doing most of
his work. He knows doctors, war workers and lots of other
essential drivers must keep going with old cars and old tires.
And he figures it's up to him to see that they do.
There may be times when he can't sell you a thing— but
"Doc" is always glad io see you, always glad to give you any
of the typical Humble Services that will help keep your car in
good shape. For he's looking forward to the day when you
can once more drive into his station, road map in hand —and
s
say, "Fili her up, Doc We're heading for the highway."
