Remarks of Soldiers in Guest Books
Indicate Change in Thinking in Year
Men Appreciative of Local
Hospitality; Say "Japs Will
Never Walk Streets" Here
There has been a big change in the
attitude of the American Soldier
since one year ago today. Nothing
shows it more than the thoughts they
write down in the guest books at
soldier centers.
Last fall the Southern Pines Li
brary kept such a book. It had a
column for the man’s name, another
for his home address, another for his
organization and an extra wide col
umn headed “What’s On Your Mind?”
Under this last heading a high per
centage of the men wrote “home,” or
some girl’s name. Any other kind of
comment was rare.
troops, from engineers and signal
men and from the armored divisions.
New Sentiments
But we have just had a look at
the guest book now being kept by
Emmanuel Episcopal Church in their
parish house which the church main
tains as a soldier center where men
can not only read, write, rest, have
simple refreshments but also bathe
and even get a cot for the night. The
men’s comments speak for themsel
ves.
Here is an Illinois boy from Knoll-
wood Field, “Somewhere to think,
rest, read and write in peace and
quiet. This Soldier’s Center is tops!’
Next to him a Pennsylvanian says,
“The word ‘Thanks’ says little" for
the work your are doing.” and a
boy from New York State says, “My
army experience will ultimately
prove to be a blesisng. Thanks.”

Work was begun yesterday by the

gara—to be known hereafter as

gentlemen at the head of this new
enterprise are J. B. L. Bartlett, Dr.
W. O. Ruggles, of Boston, and T. S.
C. Richardson of this state.
The Village Improvement Society
held its annual meeting W^ednesday
evening at the residence of Dr. C.
F. Hildreth. Rev. T. H. Gregory was

committee; P. H. Beck, Dr. C. F.
Hildreth, Mrs. A. M. Foster, Mrs.
E. F. Tarbell, and Mrs. S. M. Day.
"This Is O. K. Plus
“What’s on your mind?” The col
umn in the guest books asks and a
Michigan sergeant answers, “A good
night’s sleep and we got it. This is
O. K. plus.” Oyer the page a signal
corps sergeant from Massachusetts
goes back on his home territory to
put down, “The best soldier center
anywhere, Boston included on the
list.” And an Oklahoman from the
2nd Armored Division, writes seri
ously “There are no words which
can actually express my ‘Thanks!
The world is made much better by
people like you.” Phrases like that
come tumbling out, page after page
“Our sincere thanks,” “Our most
Sincere thanks for your kindness,”
“For your most welcome hospitality,”
“Words cannot express what you are
doing for men in uniform,” Keep up
the good work,” “Thank you so
much. This is worth fighting for.”
“I think you folks are swell.” “God
bless you,” “All the luck in the
world,” Thank God and thank you
and the people of your parish for
the kind deeds you have done for
the soldiers of Fort Bragg,” “God
bless you,” “God bless you.” Words
from the tough parts of Long Island
city and Chicago, from Texas and
Georgia and Nebraska and up-state
New York, from fliers and ground-
Want to Come Back
A lot of the men say. They want
to come back here'soon. How we hope
they will! When they do we must
treat them just the same. It must be
a better world that they come back
to. They speak of that. “I give my:
thanks in prayer for your kind hos
pitality and our common prayer for
Peace will be answered.” “May God
be with us and end this thing soon.”
A Missourian says, “We’ll be back
after the war,” and a modest Geor
gian underneath says “If everybody
was as kind and hospitable as (the)
South there would be no wars.”
Routine Cases Are
Aired by Recorder
Friday, December 11, 1942
Court Hears Two Charges
of Health Law Violations;
Several Assault Cases
Repay by Deeds
Some are full of fight. A Tennes
sean writes, “Let the deeds of our
battles convey our gratitude for your
hospitality.” He is in an armored
regiment and so must surely mean it.
A sergeant from Baltimore speaks of
“ending the war with a glorious vic
tory for the allies” and another Mis-
siourian says “The peoples faith as
evidenced by this lovely and peace
ful room makes it certain that we
shall continue to enjoy the privilege
of being Americans to the end of our
days.” An Armenian boys says,
‘Places like this make me think peo
ple are not so bad after all—that I
have something to fight for,” and a
pharmacist’s mate from Connecticut
says “with people like you behind us
we can’t lose our fight for what is
right.”
They are down to earth, too,
“Those doughnuts sure were good,”
‘I liked the Baby Ruth and the
jam,” “I sure enjoye'd the candy
bars,” “Excuse it please—the coffee
is boiling over.”
Oulsanding
They speak of the center and of
Southern Pines as outstanding. They
have been in the army ten months,
two years, in three states, five states
and never found such good treat
ment, such interest in soldiers. They
won’t forget us, they’ll come back;
anyhow they wont forget. “I’m a Ca
nadian boy, all of 2000 miles from
home. Someday when I return, and
I’m tucked away in my own bed. I’ll
remember this church and the little
town of Southern Pines. It will bring
back one of my most pleasant mem
ories of my life in the American
army.”
Till that good dav comes, we must
keep up the good work, as the men
keep writing in the book. “Keep up
the work!” they say. Well we have
no excuse, we have nothing to fear,
we are' under the humorous personal
protection of a private first class
from West Virginia who simply says,
“No Japs will ever walk the streets
of Southern Pines.”
