GUARD OFFERS OPPORTUNITY TO H. S. GRADUATES

ALL YOLNG MEN FACE MILITARY OBLIGATION TO COUNTRY

More than 1">00 youns men will be graduating from Putnam County's high schools within the next two months. For many of them, graduation marks only the beginning of their education. For others, the end of high school me ins the beginning of life, itself—of marriage, of earning a living. Each young man will be going his separate way. There is, however, one thing that most of these young men have in common. A military obligation to their country. Draft calls are low now, and service seems remote to most high school seniors. They should remember, however, that they are eligible for the draft until they are 26 years old. Almost any thing can happen for the situation during the next nine or ten years. It would be wise for a young man to get his military obligation out of the way now. In this way he will minimize the chances of having his career in-

terrupted later.

We think that every young man should give serious consideration to serving out his obligation in his local Army N itiona! Guard unit. In Putnam County Company G. 151st Infinity Regiment, provides this opportunity. To most of us, Company G. means Tuesday night drills at the Guard Armory down on Ailing ton Street and a long motor convoy once ;i year to summer field training. Generally, we tend to think of the unit as an old

Scouts On Canoe Trip Find Body

SULLIVAN UP Four Vigo County boy scouts on a three-day canoe trip down the Wabash River found the body of Robert

Putnam County institution and a! ^ a y Hickman, 41. Covingum,

little more.

it is interesting to look back at the events that unfolded during the eaily days of World War II. Suddenly a war had been

thrust upon us and we desperately need* d men. The National Guard supplied that need with r.OO.OOO men org inized in 18 combat divisions. When the Guaid was called into Federal service, the size of (lie Army was immediately doubled. A great many of those 200,000 Guardsmen already had been trained in the basic elements of warfare. There are about 5,500 different units in the Army National Guard from all of the 48 states, J Alaski, Hawaii. Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. M »3t j of the units belong to the 21 in- | fanlry divi. ions and six armored divisions which make up a large part of the Guard. Each of these 27 divisions is a team. In the event of an enemy attiek. each will be called to active-duty as a team, trained as a team and deployed into combat as a team. Company G of Putnam County is an indispensable part of one of

those teams.

Any young man, high school tenior, men who are out of school,

or prim service men. interested; .J u ' (lrnts in learning more about the Nu- ■\\ KO ,,f

tional Gua.rd are welcome to pay a visit to the National Guaid Armory. North Arlington Street, Gieencastle, anytime from S:. - ’.') a. m thru 4:50 p. m. Monday thru Friday, or n ay call Greencastle 13 for additional informa-

tion.

Sunday. Hickman had been miss-

ing since December.

Authoiities sai l the decomposed body apparently had been in the river since then. The scouts found the body on the Illinois .-.ide of Die river and notified a farmer who cilled Crawford County, 111.. Sheriff Cy West. The body identified by papers in a wallet was taken to Pales-

tine. III., for an inquest.

Mrs. Cecil Harden, ccmgresswo-

man from this district, reports a died,

letter from a W'illiamsport farmer regarding farm prices, which

we reproduce hene:

1. Ease the government out of the farming business as soon as

possible.

2. Any money spent by the government to aid the farm should be spent for research to discover new uses for farm pro ducts which in turn wall provide jobs for the city dwellers who in turn can buy more of the fanner’s

products.

3. Encourage sales of farm products abroad and at home. If more of our own people woruld eat a more balanced diet they would be healthier and consume more of the farmer’s goods. 4. The present farm program ir encouraging farmers to acquire more land and this leaves the small producer out of the picture. Some farm<£s arc buying more land and some are spending their winters in Florida on this money paid to them above the free market price, yet they are the biggest supporters of even highcu government support prices. Supply and demand should be allowed to set prices in a free market. Soybeans, hogs, cattle and eggs are doing very well without any governmental re-

strictions.

When the grain handlers make more money per unit for handling government stored crops than they do for handling crops j bought in the free market, then. : something is wrong with the | present setup. Secretary Benson seems to be trying to remove the shackles from the farmer and for my part, lie should be allowed to continue. This may not be good politics, but then I’m not a politician.

Kennedy D-Mass., says the nation ’’may still prevent a complete economic disaster.” He told 1,500 Koosier Democrats who paid S25 a plate at a Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner Saturday night the "disaster” will be headed off “only if we can obtain effective, imaginative, tireless leadership.” "That kind of leadership is sorely lacking in this administration," said Kennedy. Kennedy predicted the result will be "the greatest Democntie year since 1936.” The youthful senator said the Republican administration has let "fall the reins of leadership” and a Democratic Congress now “must exercise that leadership.”

MOSCOW UP — Russia today imposed a halt to its tests of “all forms of nuclear weapons.” The ban was proposed before i iie Supreme Soviet by Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko. The Supreme Soviet had yet to approve the proposal, but such approval could be taken for granted. But if the United States, Britain and otner nor’ * ers fall c a simil .r he Soviet Union said it ”n . . ally” would have to reconsic r the action in “the interest' of its security." “The Council of Ministers proposes tint as a first step tho Soviet Union unilaterally stop tests of all forms of nudes'- weapons,” Gromyko said. He did not mention a date when the proposed ban should take effect. The Soviet move comes at a tii iQ when tnc Russians are re)orted to have completed the latest. in a series of nuclear ai d thermonuclear weapons tests in their Siberian and Aitic testing grounds and just before the United States is scheduled to start a new test series of its own at Eniwetok in the Pacific.
