The 1950 selectee’s reaction to military duty is going to be quite different from that of his older brother nearly ten years ago. The average inductee in 1940 went into the Army with an attitude close ly akin to that of a criminal fac ing a twelve-month sentence. He was soley intent upon doing 365 days and getting out. There was nothing in the Army he wanted and the Army was going to get him even less from him. After aH, just when the country was recovering from the worst de pression in its history and just when defense projects began of fering well-payihg jobs, be had to be content with twenty-one m dollar a day—once a month. First of all, this year’s draftee is going into the Army in an en tirely different frame of mind. Proof of this is in the large num ber of draft-age men already flooding Army recruiting stations throughout the nation. Secondly, ISlHl A Pledge to the American People The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company We will resist all unwarranted Tirice rises with all our ■■I We Wiki maKe every ettort to hold our inventories at Ukc lowest poini con sistent with good service to ourcustomers, because hoarding, whether by whole salers, retailers or consumers, will cause higher prices. ^ 9 We will continue to maintain the lowest profit rate generally prevailing in the entire retail industry. Our net profit now is less than one cent on each dollar of sales. We will continue to strive for more efficient distribiition. We will fight waste of food, or time, or money all along the line so as to • I narrow the spread between wholesale and retail prices. ' I . We will devote all our energies to giving you the most good food for your money every day of the week. • V • ■ » We will strive always to do what is honest, fair, sincere and in the best interest of our country and our customers. As most of you know, this company and the low cost, low profit policies that built it are under attack. We are defending ourselves against a suit brought by the anti-trust lawyers to put A&P out of business. * But the greater conflict in which our country is now engaged takes prece dence over all else. Today, with our boys fighting in Korea, we believe that all citizens and all businesses, big and little, should devote themselves wholeheartedly to the public interest. We promise the American people that we will cooperate unhentatingly with our national government in the present crisis. We promise you that we will continue to do everything in our pow;er to put more buying power in your food dollar and more good food on your ciinner table. Jo^ A. Hartford, Chnmuai his initial pay 'will begin at sev- entyrlive^ dollars "per month and will jump 1o eii^ty as soon as he completes basic training, usually a period of four .months. Few ^oung men today can step into jobs’ that will ^ leave them this amoimt of "spending money” af ter deductions for equal food, clothing and shelter have been made. Nor does this comparison take into consideration valuable services provided for the soldier free of charge such as dental and medical attention and Post Ex change privileges. There’ll be no wooden rifles and hay rake howitzers for the new citizen-soldier when he learns his lessons of warfare. He’ll have the real thing — wea pons that will work and grained instructors to teach him how to operate them. Nor will the 1950 draftee miss the moral and spiritual environ ment and" coimsel he had at home. The Army’s Character Guidance program will see to this. Recognizing long ago the im portance of instilling in ‘young soldiers these sterling qualities the Army established its Charac ter Guidance program on a per manent basis and made it a must for every man. Another interest ing fact in regard to the soldier’s spiritual welfare is that the Army has more than adequate facilities available to meet these needs. When barracks, shops and ware houses were being torn dowij at Army installations at the end of the war, chapels were left un touched and since that time have been kept in excellent repair and ready for immediate use. And there’ll be no idle mom- ents._ Spare time, yes. Idle time, no. When he isn’t working or en gaged in training activities there will be innumerable forms of recreation and entertainment for his relaxation. isvgoirig to, be quite a different man from'his'1940 prototype and his reaction to Army life is going to prove it, too. _0— One year’s residence is requir ed in North Carolina before older persons are eUgible for old age assistance'fun^ from the county department of public welfare. —^ 0 MM “Crooked farming” is on teh level—if the crooked rows ire on the contour.
