The Importance of the North Carolina State Guard to the state at large is quickly recognized. During the present emergency, no one is in a position to predict what eventuality may present it self. Man'f. difficulties may arise within oui^horders; and, in such cases, the State Guard is reedy and waiting to take up Its im portant role. Through the Adjutant General’s department, the Guard units are In close communication with the Internal Security District head quarters at Port Bragg and are prepared for any emergency which, may arise.

Red Cross Benefits To Men In Service Stressed By Head of Chapter (Editor’s note: The Red Gross War FUnd campaign Is making good progress In Wilkes, but the need for funds is great, iln order that the public may know more of the benefits pro vided by the Red Cross, the chairman of the Wilkes chapter has written the following arti cle). >1 By Rev. A. C. WAGGONER, Chairman Wilkes County Chapter American Red Cross The soldier of 1944 encounteiu more physical hardship than any soldier of history. He has to fight in the heat of the desert and in the bitter cold of the Arctic win ter. He’s subjected to dive bomb ing and strafing. He’s thrown and battered against the sides of a steel tank. He fights thousands of miles from home surrounded by' disease and pestilence against which he has developed little re sistance. His hands are blown off by booby tr&ps and he never knows when he’ll encounter a land mine. The First World War resulted in more tragedies of shell shock than we like to think about; but today the fire power of a reg iment is four times what tt was in 1918. This wax. demands uot only . physical stamina, but phy- i^ogical stamlpia. The soldier nhSds ittdlvlAial attention os sure ly as any airplane ragine or ma chine gun. Hs should be in tip top shape both physically and phy- chologlcally. The individual needa of our fighting men can be neither enn- merated nor cleesified. Perhaps a front line soldier knows that his wife has gone to the hoapitaj for a serious ofieratlon, and he.wants desperately to find out whether or not she has come safely through. Or, a soldier on leave in a foreign (dty, where hotel accommodations are out of the question, may be completMy at loss to find a place to eat and sleep. Another may come out of battle s^^aratsd from his unit, With aU hla equlpmott and even l^ia Identiflcatlon p^jore lost, wuderinir among a^pso- ple whose langnaga bo ssanot un derstand.
