WE CAN'T LET GEORGE
DO IT
The principle of universal mili
tary training has been kicked about
in our public life since it first got
public attention in the words of
George Washington. It has been
advocated in our generation by the
most articulate voice of the veter
ans of our first World War The
American Legion.
It has betn postponed at the be
hest of pressure groups time after
time. Never has it been fortunate
enough to receive an honest and
considered hearing. The iciea of uni
versal military training has been
heid up to caustic ridicule. Always,
in each of our wars, mere oas re
suited a higher rate of production of
Gold Star n-others caused by our
failure to enact this principle into
law in time of peace.
Mistakenly it is argued that as
sociation of a potential GI Joe with
men of the type of MacArthur, Ei
senhower, Halsey, Nimitz, and others
of comparable rank would be harm
ful to their future. It is absurd to
consider that
ship, caliber,
American military life, would do
anything to wreck the future of any
young American.
Why, then, do we shudder at the
thought of accepting military train
ing in time of peace? Why are im
portant seg.rents of our people driv
en to cry out thaf all will be lost
if young America Is entrusted, for
the good of the Nation, to such tute
lage, for a brief period in their
youth?
Is it the idea that it is all right
for our neighbors son to undertake
such a responsibility, but not for
our own son? Are we s.'y ng that
it would be all right for the boy
next door, but it never should hap
pen to our own boy? How, in your
opinion, would Holders of the Medal
of Honor react to the suggestion that
any American family ? seeking
absolution from public duty in the
black market of letting George do
it?
Universal service is one of the
plaguing problems of the'peace with
which we should deal now, while we
have full realization of the cost of
war. Now is the time to give uni
versal miliiary training the honest
day in court that it needs. Let the
discussion be conducted on a level
with the type of statesmanship that
is imperative if a lasting peace is
to be established. Let us not delay
the question until another war is
upon us..

HERE ARE GREYHOUND'S ANSWERS TO
YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT TRAVEL TODAY
Hoke Narrative
Agent Makes Report
For September
By Josephine Hall, home agent
The twelve Home Demonstration
clubs of Hoke county met in Septem
ber for their regular scheduled meet
ings. 139 club women attended the
demonstrations which were on the
study of fabrics. The various kinds
of fibers, weaves, tests for fibers,
care of fabrics and material finishes i
were among the things discussed.
Five 4-H club members, Elizabeth j
Parker, Ernestine Grooms, Doris I
Barefoot, Wade McDougald irnd
Frank Brock, gave a fifteen minute
radio broadcast from Station WPTF,
Raleigh, on Saturday, September 1.
The program, which grew out of a
class on Etiquette at 4-H Camp, was
prepared by the home agent. Mr.
Knowles, county agent, accompanied
the group"T- Raleigh.
The Ashmont club had a very de
lightful picnic supper at the Aber
deen lake on the evening of Septem
ber 6. This club had postponed
their August recreational meeting
O. Can travel any time 1 like to any place I please?
A. Yes, you may now travel on business or pleasure to any
of the thousands of points served by Greyhound.
Q. Do buses still have to travel at 35 miles an hour?
A. No. Greyhound's new time-saving schedules will get you to
your destination earlier, and this stepped-up service will
mean more trips daily, more seats available.
Q. Does that mean buses will no longer be crowded?
A. No. Although the war is over, Greyhound will still be in
"military service'' for a while. Thousands of dischargees,
others traveling on furlough, and war workers returning
to their permanent residence will be depending on Grey
hound so some buses will still be crowded.
Q. How soon can we expect to ride.in new Greyhound buses?
A. We are getting some buses now, and have others on order.
Present plans call for replacement of one-third of our
fleet by the end of 1946. New coaches, plus modern termi
nals, Expense-Paid tours and other improvements will
make travel by highway more pleasant than ever before!
