He stated that j no one individual or group of in ( dividuals owns our city. It belongs I to everybody who lives within its boundaries. Every inhabitant shar es equal ownership and likewise shares equal responsibility in the matter of civic affairs. "Man is never satisfied. He wants a better job, a nicer house in which to live, a better car, more and finer clothes, a way to provide a better education and op portunity for his children. For his 1 personal satisfaction man wants I tho Koct rwasihl lTnrtiinntplv this same view-point is not projected ! outward to the group when man thinks in terms of his community. "There are many men - - civic minded individuals who give of their time and efforts to promote community welfare - - who think of their city in the same terms as they think of themselves. Such ,a man votes a bond issue to lay more paved streets in his town, erect a bigger and 'better school building, build paved roads and to advance his town in every way possible. "People who seek to gain more for themselves are called ambi tious. People who seek to gain more for their city are often call ed extravagant and visionary. Without such ambition, extrava gance or vision man today would still be living in caves, dressing in skins, and going out with a club to kill his food. It is the ambition i and desire for progress which has brought him from those days to j these, and certainly we are not going to discourage ambition when it applies to our community life, "We all want better things for our but we not M will": " w "" " a responsiouiiy as an equal owner of our cityi ..In this short talk T have tried t0 polnt out three main things. one of these is that the real own-1 ers of a town are the people who live there and enjoy the town's benefits and opportunities every citizen owns an euqual share . .. . ... , that those who are civic-minded I and active should be careful not into harmful issues which would prove obstacles in the future pro gress of our city. "We are all part owners of our city. Let us demonstrate that pride of possession that we show in our personal affairs and makes us want to have nice things and greater opportunities.

Basinger Helps One 'Son of Heaven' To Join 'Honorable Ancestors' IN THE PHILIPPINES - - "I'm lucky to be able to tell this story in person", said Lt. (jg) Ronald A. Basinger, USNR, here today, "because only a miracle saved me from death at the hands of a sword-wielding Jap." Lt. Basinger, Kenansville, N. C, has just returned from the inva sion of Labuan Island, Borneo and the Brunei Bay operation, where he was attached to a mobile com munications unit of the 7th fleet. "Entering the Tear of my tent, where I crouched behind a sea chest, the Jap lifted his sword and swung at me, but the first blow was deflected by the sea. chest." "His second blow," related Lt. Basinger, "severed the stock of my tommy gun and cut two fingers on my right hand, but I finally managed to raise the gun and emp tied it into him. Then another 'son of Heaven' joined his honor able ancestors." Lt. Basinger has been cited for a commendation by his superior officer for his "bravery and cool and deliberate action under fire". He also qualifies for the Purple Heart. The American officer escaped luckily with slight finger wounds. But he now carries the dead Nip's sword used in the attack as a more lasting souvenir of the encounter. None of the Japs were expected to survive the attack. They used firecrackers and chilling "Banzai" cries in order to create panic among the Americans, but their efforts were useless. One of Lt. Basinger's fellow offi cers was instantly killed while fighting near him and one enlisted man in the unit was killed. Lt. Basinger, whose wife, Mrs. Marie Basinger, lives at 925 Hack berry Lane, Tuscaloosa, Ala., is the son of P. W. Basinger, 39-14 55th St ( woodside, L. I., N. Y.

He has been overseas for seven months and prior to that time at tended the indoctrination school at Princeton University and the communications school at Harvard University. Lt. Basinger is a graduate of the University of Alabama. Seven Springs Boy Honored With Dinner A dinner was given in honor of Robert Stroud, Seaman 2c, USN, on Sunday at the home of his mother, Mrs. C.

Your son will be different in the sense that he will be a more ma ture person. He probably won't be the "Boyish" type that you have always known, but will have "matured more quickly, physically, mentally, socially and spiritually than he normally would have If he had been left at home. He has lived under abnormal conditions and as an object of these abnor- imal enviornmental conditions, he has advanced more rapidly. Basic ally speaking, though, he has not changed, and you can rest assured that these "Johnnies" and "Tom mies" that you used to know five years ago are basically the same "Johnnies" and "Tommies".
