i send-
ing parents stories about their
brave boys as sent us from the
front lines, and also being able
to present them action pictures
of their child. In almost every
case the parent got their first
picture from the front of their
boy or girl from our hands and
it was an experience never tl
bo forgotten to see the lines) ol
joy as they were registered on
their faces asi they pressed the
photo to their bosom or Hp£‘
We saw cleaily just how
easy it is for scheming crooks
to capitalize on the fond par-
ents and get their money as
we handed the photo to them,
On" the spur of the moment they
were so happy at getting news
from their child they would
have*"given freely of .anything
they him. Many wantod to pay
us “any pride’’ as one woman
(put it, while others insisted that
something should be taken in
the way of remuneration.
But we were glad to say it
Icost nothing and present the
photo, to the parents. We be-
lieved the original likeness of
their child would be more ap-
preciated than to have it re-
duced to a small cut in a
newspaper, and in every easd
that has proVen to be the case
with the parent.
One mother was just leaving
the house for church one Sun-
day morning wearing a corsage
her son had sent her from
'Europe. When she was* handeJ
tho photo she embraced it and
carried it proudly to the church
where it was eagerly displayed
by the fond mother with the
flowers.
Another mother could hardly
believe her eyes as it was ihe
first news she had received
fiom her son in more than
three years and to her lonely
heart it was like nothing else
she could hope experienced.
Wo are still receiving these
photos and just as we write
this a picture comes in of Billy
McCoy, ships cook, 2nd claps,
USNR, wh(4 has been recently
Iprocessed Ifor llis Navy dis-
charge from the submarine
service in Mare Island, Cal. His
wife lives at 811 Morgan. And
was she glad to get the photo—
well, she smiled all over her
face as tht* photo of “Big’’
Bill was handed her. Bill for
some time was a cook at White
Pig befota entering the sei’vice
in January 1944.
The clippings of the boys
Which we have (printed as sent
to us from the front lines, have
been sent hack to the front to
be posted on special boards so
that the hoys might learn how
the home town papers are tell-
ing the readers about their fine
records! and where they are lo-
cated. The government has
sent such papers congratulatory
letters on their part in this as
well as in boosting war bond
sales. And while we could not
ourselves go to the front to
fight, our sons went and w'e
stayed home and fought with
onv paper what wTe could to
aid in every way to win the fight.
Let us all pray Cod that ns
long as life shall Jast on this
earth among human beings
there shall be no more wars!

President Truman Thursday
night appealed directly to “the
most powerful pressure group In
the world”—the American peo-
ple—to put the heat on Congress
for strike-control legislation and
other measurs which he said are
designd to avert economic disas-
ter. Handfuls of men on strate-
gy, congressional committees, he
said, have stymied action on his
legislative proragm designed to
steer the natiori between the dan-
ge: of inflation and deflation
toward the goal of full product-
on and full employment.
In a fireside rhat from the
White House, he urged the peo-
ple “to tell your public servants
your own views concerning the
grape problems facing the coun-
try.”
He emphasized that he wanted
no quarrel with Congress, but he
said that if Congress doesn’t like
hi program, it should formulate
one of its own.
"What the American people de-
sire is action” he declared.

Many Reported
Joining Regular
Army Locally
Colonel Robert F. Bacon.
of the
Military Pe-onnel Procurement
Division, Eighth Service Com-
mand, announced that during
15 to
December 10, 1945, 42,970
men were enlisted in the Regu-
m the Eighth
Service Command which in-
, udes the States of Texas,
Oklahom; i Arkansas, .Louisiana
and New Mexico.
Captain Robert N. Beville of
the Denison Recruiting Office,
commented that this large
number of enlistments* in the
Regular Army was due to tho
tact that young men of today
are quick to reailze the educa-
tional and financial opportuni-
ties offered by the modern
streamlined Regular Army of
today.
The fact that under the GI.
Bill of Rights, three years in
t ie Regular Army earns a
young man four years of paid
I college of hV
choice is a big inducement
toward enlisting. rl hen /too,
we will admit that travel i>
one of the best educational as-
sets a man may have. The
Regular Army offers a man an
opportunity to travel extensive-
ly Jnd to be paid well while
doing so.
To quote Major General
H. N. Gilbert, of the War De-
partment Military Personnel
Procurement Division, wh°
said, “The college education
offered under tho G. I. Bill of
Rights is not only a valuable
means of increasing enlist-
ments in the Regular Army,
but it also helps to provide a
higher 'trained citizenship for
the entire United States.”
Men between the ages of 17
and 35, and especially High
School Graduates are urged to
contact the local recruiting
staff and find how they may
become eligible for four years
of paid college education.....
