Craig's Aunt Carrie was a long - time elementary principal and has been a state and national leader in the Association for Childhood Education, and his Uncle Charles, now a member of the State Leg islature, served as a teach er and principal in Greens boro before beginning his long tenure as director of public relations at what was then the Women’s College. The candidate’s educa tional heritage goes back even further—to his great uncle, Locke Craig, a na tive of Bertie County, who became a noted lawyer in the Asheville area before his election as Governor of North Carolina in 1912. During Governor Craig’s term (the candidate is named for the Governor) the state established a four months school system for all children from eight to 12 years old. Mrs. Phillips is the daughter of the late -Pro fessor William Cobb of N. C. State— a distinguish ed teacher and researcher in soils and conservation. The Phillipses have made their own contribution to education in another way: they are the parents of four children: Martha Gat lin, 22; Andy, 19; Eliza beth, 17 and Eva Craig, six. The two oldest child ren are both preparing to teach in the elementary schools. Before becoming admin istrative vice president of the Richardson Foundation in 1967, Dr. Phillips had been a teacher of history, math and general business in a Winston-Salem high school; teacher, assistant principal and principal in budget in better balance and lets you plan more wisely.

Volunteer Citizen-Soldiers Are Considered Defense Backbone Someone once said, in reply to the question, “What is a National Guardsman?” that the Na tional Guard volunteer sol dier was “a civilian some of the time, a soldier part of the time, and a patriot all of the time.” This de scribes a system which goes back to earliest colo nial days, when the very first Guardsmen were members of volunteer mili tia bands formed to patrol the trails around the settle ments in the early and middle 1600’s. The National Guard is the nation’s oldest military organization, older than the country itself, with some units that can trace their history clear back to 1636. Today’s modern Army Guard stems direct ly from the militia system of yesteryear. The first President was a Guards man. George Washington, at 22, commanded a Vir ginia militia regiment In the French and Indian War, personally exemplify-! ing the creed he would ex press in later years, that “every citizen who enjoys the protection of a free government owes not only a portion of his property but even of his personal services to the defense of it.” Sam Houston is remem bered chiefly as the archi ! tect of Texas independence. ! Less known is that, follow ipg the War of 1812 ser vice under General Andrew Jackson, he became the Adjutant General of Ten nessee. He was Tennessee’s No. 1 soldier from 1818 un til 1823, when he entered the United States Congress. i In the Mexican War, a ! cry rang out above the din I of battle on a fateful day { at Buena Vista “Stand i Fast Mississippians!” This | was the beginning of the : legend of the famed Mis- : ! sissippi Rifles whose com- I mander was Colonel Jeff | Davis. ■- The name “National Guard" was first applied to a state .militia organization on August 16, 1824, when New York’s famous Sev enth Regiment, acting as honor guard for the Mar suis de Lafayette during , his visit to this country, j adopted the name in tri bute to his service to .this 1 country during the Revolu tion and in honor of his command of the Garde Na tionale in Paris in 1789. By 1896, most states had adopted this title. The National Guard has served in every war- fought by the United States, and the caliber of service was summed up by the German High Command just after World War I, when six of the eight U. S. divisions they rated excellent or su perior were National Guard divisions. During World War II the National Guard put more than 300,000 men into service, nearly doubling the size at the U. S. Army. They entered active duty in the 1 form of 18 infantry divisions and many non divisional units, including air observation squadrons. It has been estimated that nearly 8 2,000 Guardsmen won commissions during this war, either through of ficer candidate schools or on the battlefields Na tional Guard units partici pated in seven assault landings and 84 separate campaigns, and were awarded over 150 Presi dential citations. National Guard divisions suffered nearly 200,000 casualties, and over 25 individuals who entered as Guardsmen earned the Medal of Honor for valor. to every little girl’s Mother we say: THINK SPRING...THINK SHINY NEW ALPHABET SHOES To grown-ups Spring means flowers, but to little girl* Spring is having new dress-up shoes.
