How the American Country Boy
Benefit s from Army Training
The American" country boy? t'lut
?talwart fellow from tl.e farms and
the town* ami smaller cities has
contributed not only hi* brawn tq
CJnclo Sam's armies, but exem
plifies patriotism," initiative, cn<l
intelligent disciplir t as well.
Such is the Kixt of authoritative
commentary 011 the rank and file of
jithe army in every instance where
Wtixen soldiers have been called to
Ike nation's defense. Today the
?pn rents of the young men lately
Called into service are asking what
'the army in turn does for the coun
try boy. Here is the answer:
"He Rains a broadening experi
ence in adventure, friendship, and
4earning which only service in a
common cause can give."
The quotation ii from an over
sea* veteran of the World War who
served in a hard hitting outfit com
posed largely of youths classed
generally as country boys. Ampli
fying his statement, he stressed the
young soldier's experience in ad
venture, friendship, and learning.

Army with an inquiring mind and
a fund of practical experience,
declare* the veteran of 1918. He
is a k<mu1 student. ? fie has learned
t<> work with his liondn as well as
his brains. He is quick to grasp
the exceptional opportunities which
modern military service provides.
When ho returns to the farm he
finds that his skill in handling a
"jeep," a truck, or a tank for Uncle
Sam has fitted him expertly to care
for agricultural machinery. He
has learned the economy of trans
portation. He has been observing
of the practice of farmers in other
sections of the country. He sees
where improvements may be made.
He knows more of consei-vation.
Active service in our Army has
been America's greatest training
school for the professions, In
science, and in business. In every
iteriod in the nation's history the
leaders in civil life have been
largely those who in their youth
answered their country's call to
defense, and first of these has been
the country boy.
Observations
By W. F. SHELTON
With the lightning and deceit
ful tactics, so often employed by
\ via momKA?fl
t he cowardly
and lying Japan
has attacked
the United
States, making
the declaration
of war, of
course, after
heavy damage
had been
wrought on our
Pacific defens
es.
The colossal
Shelton
tall of Japan is exposed with the
racti that Nippon's warships in
the Pacific must have left their
bases for war with us at about the
same time that the special envoy
Kuruso left Tokyo to allegedly
talk peace terms with the United
States. Thug the Japs have made
war on our beloved country and
they have started fchis war with
lies and deceit. It shall be in the
future that these sniveling little
yellow people will a hundred
times rejrret' their hasty and ill
advised action.
Here In our state the people
were going their usual quiet Sun
day way when the impact of war
hit with a force that suddenly and
complexly had our peoples aston
ished and in turn just plain angry.
War came suddenly upon us and
as never before, this sudden com
ing of war. seemed to weld all
people in all walks of life to a
singleness of purpose and resolve.
Rattlesnakes, dangerous and
treacherous though they are, do
give warning of attack. Not so
the war loads of Japan.
Racing through the minds of
nil Americans were many thoughts
of the future. How about Germany
and Italy? By the time you read
this, or within a very few days
we shall also be at war wit>h Ger
many and Italy. This is inevitable
since Germany and Italy are at
war with England and Kngland
and the United States are at war
with Japan. This gives the de
mocracies a common enemy. Thus
to fight the comm6n etiemy Amer
ica and Kngland must wage war
together on all three Axis powers,
not Just one. ,
Whatever may be In store for
America in the theatre of war
there is one unpredictable actor
standing just- behind the scenery
in the Pacific and carrying on a
courageous play in the west. This
actor is Josef Stalin. For the re
cord we propose the question: It
Japan seeks to aid Hitler then
why was the nearness of vast Rus
sia overlooked In the wholesale
attacks? Perhaps we may soon
know the answer to this.
Again In local aspects we give
here the names of those Franklin
County men known to us who are
in Hawaii and who are now under
seige. They are: Arthur Duke.
Horace Duke, Maurice Pernell,
James McGhee, Vester Brantley,
I. D. Cooke, Jr., and Bob Johnson
all in the U. S. Army and David
Collier in the Navy. There are, 1
of course, many others whose
names we do not have immediate
ly available among them Mr. ? .
? . Inscoe at Midway.
Captain Fred Frazler of the
Louisburg State Guard Company
has received a telegram from
General J. Van B.Metts to main
tain a "staff of' readiness" for
whatever may come.
With total war raging we must
prepare ourselves for the trying
times thati lie ahead. Tremendous,
though the cost of National De
fense has been the cost of waging
war will be far, far. greater. We
must expect and prepare for an
even higher tax than we now bear.
There i* certain to be a scarcity,
or a total lack, of things we have
come to regard as parts of our
everyday life.
America is in total war and in
up to the neck. With God's help
and our belief in a just cause we
shall be victorious. It will take
forebearance and unit; of thought
and courage of all of us. Let's do
our part and bear our burdens
without complaining. We must all
sacrifice to win, for win we shall.
