HJ Wt ik -ja"s''" - n tUIAH THAYIft It II II E I ft I A '11111 OUR DEMOCRATIC ARMY Bill was pleased when Mb younger brother, Jack, passed his various tests and .examinations and was made a lieutenant in the army. Naturally, Bill, older by three years, had helped Jack through school and took an old er brother's pride in his success. Yep ... it was pretty fine having an officer in the family and that of ficer the kid he had helped bring up. Then came the draft and Bill's number was down along the middle of the list He rubbed his hand over his chin as he studied that list. Wouldn't it be a joke if he got into the army, too, and not as an officer? The weeks and months went by and when Jack came home on fur lough it seemed to Bill he was not only leaner and browner, but more sure of himself. The army was do ing him good, all right. Then, one day, a letter came from the draft board telling Bill to report for his preliminary physical exami nation and before the month was over he was in camp and, truth being stranger than fiction, in his brother's camp! When they change into civilian clothes and go home for the week end they fall back into their old re lationship once more and Bill again assumes the initiative of an older brother. But back in camp in the tan uniforms, identical except for the sil ver bars on Jack's shoulders, Bill must say "yes, sir" and raise his hand in salute. "It's democratic, all right," they say, "this man's army."

Only in the united aiaxes could there be such a mixing up of men and positions, with everyone toUrm- it for uranted that it's about as it should be and that the fellow "who knows the army business, no matter what he does in civilian life, should be ahead of the fellow who may be an expert along some other line. Again and again we have seen "poor boy make good" in our free industrial system, for industry offers the same opportunities to all young men. It doesn't matter what a man's background is or where he comes from. The thing that matters is, can he do the job? Today a similar thing is happening in the army, al though in industry, where there is less red tape, ability can be mort quickly recognized and rewarded.

C is "PROTECT OUR CHILDREN" By Fred W. Braun, The Safety Man - Again the opening of school is but a few days away and with this event comes increased driving hazards for motorists. Children will crowd the streets, especially near schools, ani it is a wise motorist who will exer cise great caution in entering these vicinities when school has begun. Many of the children will be start ing to school for the first time and are not familiar with the hazards of crossing streets. Soon thev will learn to look out for your car, but until that time you must look out for them. The rule is drive slowly and keep your car under absolute control so that you can stop in an instant- ready to save that child who may dash across the street in front of you. Watch out especially for kids on bicycles. They have been taught cer tain rules of the road with respect to automobiles; but like automobile drivers, they too slip out of line once in a while and you must be prepared for such an emergency. Hundreds of little children are killed or injured each year going .to and from school and the motorist in variably gets the blame regardless of the circumstances. To avoid this re sponsibility, avoid the accident and the solution is: Drive Carefully!
