Or in 167.5 when the Carolina men defended their homes for over a year against the Meher- rlns, another Indian tribe. P’lrnn the time the first settlers arrived in the New World, and continuing on through the pres ent time, men have banded tliem- selves logether in a common de fense: first, their homes and families, then, their state and nation.

WINN-DIXIE STORES umtt om emm Void A£t^r • dan. xi, 1969 Militia an<l as such up until UMK>, the National Guard of to day is a body of trained men, close at hand whicli resulted from military units bcung devel oped at the cK>mmunily level and deriving spijitual closeness from home town nassociations and neighborly sentiments. The National Guard, a bo<ly of almost one-half million men, is locat^'d in over 2,Ot>;) communities across the nation. In Noith Caro lina, this body df men is almost 12.000 strong in 132 units in 9S communities in 60 counties. Becau.se the National Guard is an outgn.'Ath of the early militia concept and its origin can be traced back to the first years of the Si^'venteenth century, it is older than the Nation it .servos, and has the longest continuous liisiory of any military organiza tion in tho United States. Unlike other military organi zations in the United States such as the active Aimy. the Navy. Marine Corps and Air Force, the National Guard is unique in that it is a leserve component of the Army and Air Force, available for call-up by the President, and it is also the state’s militia, avail able for cali-up by the Governor. The National Guard is the only military onionization with a dual mission! F'or its State mission, the Guaiti must be organized, equip ped and trained to function effi ciently under eomjK'tcmt orders of State authorities in the protec tion of life and property and the preservation of peace, order and public safety. The Federal mission and the Guard’s primary mission en compasses two divei*s(» areas. First and foremost, the Guard must provide trained units and qualified individuals available for 1 active <luty in time of v\ai or na- , lional emergency in suiiporl the Nation’s war plans, and at such other times as the national security may r^Kjuire augmenta- tion of the active forces. j I The second of the two areas of its Ft*deral mission is identu*alj to lire Slate mission only the i Guard woulj function under com- I pelont order’s of Federal authori ties in protecting Itfe and prop<*r- j ty and pi’Pserving peace, oixier and public safely. Since the first sellers arrivr’d. in the New World, through all the terrible war.s in which this Nation ha.s Ixvn engaged, we have relied heavily on the citizen- soldier the Militiaman/Nation-i al Guaixisman — to swell the' ranks of a small standing Army to bring about victoi’y. | Since the turn cf the Century,! we have had tire Phillipine In surrection, the trouble with Pan- cho Villa on our Mexican Border’, World War I, WorM War II, Ko rea, ihe Berlin Cii.sis of 1961, sev eral other’ crises, and tire conflict, now i>eing fought in Vietnam. I At no time was our standing ai’my or navy or marine coi’ps or air for'co - sufficient ly large enougli to spread to the four coiruus of th<* glolw*. But when Ihe lime came, our active services were considerably str’en^therKxl bt'cause there was a trained body of men, e(|uipp<‘<i and ready to go when they were necHied. Even now, when only a fe^v Guard units have been called up for the conflict in Vietnam, the Department of the Army and lh(‘ Department of Ihe Air Force are relying he.ivijy on tire Army and Air National Guard • so much so, in fact, that our National G. ard is making major contri butions to the di'fense effort by performing missions that in the past could have been performed oirly by units in active Federal service. This can he done only because the Department of the Army Ivas oonfidencx* in the Army National Guard and tire Dopai’tment of the Air Forx^e has the same confi dence in the Air National Guaixl.. lias confidence in the ableness of the citizen-soldier, airman to ptu’foi'm “active duty” iyp<* jobs while continuing in a civilian stu tus. The Army and Air Foitc also’ have confidence in tho Guard' that shouli events take place, where additional forces ai’c ne<*d ed, the Guard can l)0 (‘ailed and! on duly anvwheie within a siror t period of time. Tills confidi’nce In the Guaixl gives the Department of D(‘fen.se tho flexihrliry necxlcd for wor-ld- wide commitment of this coun-j try’s Armed Foi’ix's. | For the past four years many of our Air National Guardsmen hove Ix'en p<‘i‘forming liO p(»reeni of their active duly JcVli.s all while I’eniaining as citizim-ali' men.

Air Ouaixlsmen also are flying our sick an dwounded s<*i’vicemen out of the combat zone to o f- shore hospitals and to statoAvide hospitals close* to the service man's hometo\vn. Al this point, you might ask ‘Who is a Guaixisman?” and ■‘Why does he join an organiza tion such as the National Guard?" The Guardsman any one of ihe almost one-half million youn^ m(*n — and women is a diffi- ult person to describe*. I He’.s anywhen* from 18 to 60 , For some, he’s a veteran of VV’orld War II or Koi’lm or both. ; Others are veterans of the B<*r- lin Criisis of 1961 or the piesent Vietnam War or both. Some joined the Guard to com-' plete their military obligations at homo but at the end of their six | years, they reenlisted and ten years later, they are still in the Guard. | .Some joined the Guard to get idjitional schooling to further ! Their civilian occupations ... • Still others joined in the hf>pes i of helping to make the world a better place in which to live. A Guardsman can ho a busi nessman running his own service station .... Or a telephone lineman -- or I a butcher or an airline pilot— ■ or a nurse ■ or a policeman. He covers the gamut of occu pations from bricklayer to insur- ancx* executive; from data pro- ■esser to college pmfessor. lie's an individual who could be a private in the Guard yet a large city newspaper editor or a postman who is a captain and ' cxnnpany commander. There’s no way to describe a -Vational Guardsman he’s the man next door with a six-room ’ house, a wife and four children. I Or he colIJ be a young, single I medical student who flys air- I planes on weekends in an air' ' cavaJiy sfiuadron or an aeromed- j ical transport squadron; ! Or ho could be an airport me I terologist who is a mcterologist 1 in a weather flight unit; ’ 1 Or he could be a long-distan.o truck driver who speeds oni* weekend a month driving iracto;- trailers in a Guard transportation unit. He’s the mayor of the city; the president of the chamber of com- mei’ce; a governor, police chief oi’ deputy sheritif. He heads the building program for a new wing on the hospital; coaches a Little League ball team or is a scoutmaster. It’s just as hard to pin down his civilian occupations and com* munity endeavors as it is to pin dojwn his reasons for joining the Guaid — tlu*y arc just a.s many as there are Guardsmen. 7^ By WILSON GRIFFIN How necessary is nutrition in maintaining good health? Dr. W. H. Sebrell, Dir. of Inst, of Nutrition Sciences at (Columbia U. states: "To day nutrition is finally be ginning to be recognized as an important factor in the treatment of and convales cence from almost every dis ease. ” Dr. Robt. E. Shank of Washington U. School of Medicine wrote: "There is probably no other sin gle factor so important to the achievement and main tenance of health as is nu trition.” Anyone interested in his good health should surely follow the nutrition ad vice in books and pam phlets by trained nutrition ists, available in medical and r.S. Govt, publications. I he body obviously must have the essential nutrients in sufficient quantity if it is to maintain and repair itself properly.
