I Cruising jjp^T**~ JI Around, with "Skipper" j t ^ 1 JU&T THINKING) Watched the Are laddies racing about lust Saturday and Sunday and gorta sot' A thlnkiu' a bit. it seeius ,o bo there are two classes of public servants that we, the public, do not appreciate as we should do. I refer to policemen and flremeu. Standing ou the sidewalk, day or night, and watching the lire boys go by, it Just aorta made me feel that WO do not in the slightest degree appreciate the faithfulness- of these luils. And again-;?wo see the blue-coated top standing on the comer and many of us klnda grin and remark, "Pretty soft, eh what, Just stand and walk around and get a pay check every month?" We little stop to ponder over the dangers the cop may have to face before Old Sol peeps over the Eastern horizon. Perhaps he may have to .face a fusllade of bullets from Borne bank robbing gang. *No matter whether the moon shines or whether it rains oats and do^s, the bluecoat must be on the Job. He's wide awake while others sleep. Sure, you may say, "So What) He's paid for It". But let me tell you friends, all my life siuce I left college and went Into newspaper work, I've mingled with cops and' firemen and I want to say that from my own observation, those boys are not paid any tpo much, and yet, In many cases, not nearly enough for the risk they run in protecting the lives and property of the citizens of their community. And so I say. Hats off to the boys in blue?the cops and the Are laddies. A recent news dispatch relates how a British officer, addressing the men in his command somewhere In France said "An Englishman knows how to die". However, it is a sad commentary on civilization that the need has arisen for such words to be said and for such valor to be shown. There exists in the world today a far greater need and that is that men should know now to live. Rotary feels the European war as much as any other organization to | which Americans belong. Rotary Is international. It exists in sixty countries. One would think Rotary would be discouraged to flnd the world at war again after its twenty-seven years -of trying to promote friendship between countries, but not so. Disappointed?yes?but not discouraged. ? Sally Rand has filed a petition .in bankruptcy. Well, we always had an idea that some day the bubble would burst.

Touching Lenson Is Qivsn By Unknown Author This story, by "Author Unknown", appeared recently in The Orangeburg Tiiuos-Democrat: " 1 oday my daughter, who is seven years old. started to school as usual. She wore a dark blue dress with a white collar. She had on black shoes ami wore blue gloves. Her cocker spaniel, whose name is Coot, sat on the front porch and whined his canine belief in the folly of education as she waved goodbye und started off to the hall of learning. "Touight we talked about school. She told me about the girl who sits in front of her?the girl with yellow curls?and the boy across the aisle who makes funny facdB. She told me about her teacher,, who has eyes in the back of her head?and about the tree in the school yard?and about the big girl who doesn't believe in Santa Claus. We talked about a lot of things?tremendously vital, unimportant things; and studied spelling, reading, arithmetic?and then to bed. "She's back there now?back in the nursery sound asleep, with Princess Elisabeth (that's a doll) cuddled in her right arm. You guys wouldn't hurt her, would you? You see; I'm her daddy. When her doll is broken or her" linger is cut, or her head gets bumped, 1 can fix it?but when she starts to school, when she walks across the street, then she's in your hands. "She's a nice kid. She can run like a deer, and darts about like a chipmunk. She likes to ride horses, and swims and hikes with me on Sunday afternoons. J3ut I can't be with her all the time?I have to work to pay for her clothes and education. So please drive carefully, please drive slowly past schools and Intersections?and please remember that children run from behind parked cars. "Please don't run over my little girl. Have your car inspected regularly to be assured that there are uo mechanical defects." BRiNGS PENNILES8 HOME Uncle Sam Accepts I. O. U. Notes From Four Hundred Americans , I Uncle Sam holds the I. O. U. notes of four hundred United States citizens to whom he has made loans of money to enable them to return home from the theaters of war In Europe. Since the war began 12,000 Americans have fled from the Old World, and government officials say they are not at all surprised that four hundred of them were without their own means of buying one-way tickets to this country. Most of the four houndred are students who got caught on "see the world for $200" trips. Others were sailor9 who left American- ships iu foreign ports when their terms of service endpd. There are other cases of American men who went to Europe, married foreign wives, and now are trying to ship their families home at the government's expense. Diplomatic officials take every precaution to see that only those who can prove their American citizenship get help 'from Uncle Sam. Some Americans have had to cable home for copies of birth certificates to pYove their citizenship after long residence abroad. The United States embassy in London reports that more than 2,500 Americans intend to remain indefinitely in England. Most of them are government representatives, newspaper^ men, and employes of American companies with London branches. BUILDING U. 8. AHMV How Our Dear Uncle Has Paper r ,| Already Made ?rke are ??>o ? a vial l to 1 While the r Jj Mar* Europe, and congress souths v . neutrality debate, the United States! la calmly and quietly building the world's only "slide-rule" aruiy. I Compressed Into lis present peace-1 I time minimum, it boasts fewer thau 1400,000 highly trained officers and men ?a smaller defensive force tbaul guards such secondary powers as Ar-I gentlna, Portugal, Switzerland orl Sweden. .... Extended under the energy of the PMP, it could be transformed within I six months, into a force of 1,000,0001 men. Nothing to compare with the gigantic armies of Europe, but enoughI in the eyes of the general staff, for! the secondary defense of the nation,! assuming that the navy would luter-l cept an emeny far from our shores. I' if and when the army should break I through, it Is calculated we could I have any number of men equipped toI meet the situation, depending on theL emergency and on the desires of the! American people. That compares rather modestly L with the army of 4,000,000 we pro-1 duced In the World War, but It fits! more smoothly Into our productive! capacity. That's the general base for M-day I in America, a day nobody wants, but! a day every nation must, in troubled! times, be prepared to face. What is the PMP? i it is the Protective MobilizationI Plan, evolved by the army general! staff in 1937 undor War Secretary! Harry Woodrlag, ami now a .full se-l lies blue prints for emergency ac-l tiou. Under the limited emergency re-| cetitly proclaimed by President Roose-J velt, PMP Is, in effect, already being oiled for" action. The regular army! strength Is being boosted slowly be*| yond the 200,000 mark. When "a suf-J flcient emergency exists", the President may increase the regular army to 280,000, by the end of next June the strength Is expected to be 210,000, and an addition of 17,000 men Is provided for after that. I If further emergencyshould arise,! the next 'step would creation J of the IPF?the Initial Protective Force. With the regular army as a nucleus, the IPF would total, almost! at once, more than 400,000 men, by the addition of the partially trained National guard. From there on, M-day plans are! strictly slide-rule; It's that way be-j [ cause nobody can forsee what kind! ' of emergency would arise. ' J Ie we should face, say, a small-scale! invasion of Brazil, there would be no need of an M-day; we have at hand right now the force to meet such al threat. But if any enemy were about tol pounce upon us along the Canadian! border, after having subdued the small force in Canada, millions of men would be required double-quick.| That's why the army general staff! has developed the slide-rule plans. Here's how the idea would work In the case of an "average" emergency: First, the IPF would be created. Then the war resources board would be transformed Into the war resourc-j es administration, headed by an industrial czar, to get equipment and munitions toegther for a huge army. Present supplies would furnish the! IPF. Average M-day visualizes an armyl of 1,000,000 men within six months ! Various reserves would be called up, such as the 20.000 enlisted men and the reserve officers and ROTC men ! Perhaps part of the CCC. Next comes the SSP?the Selective! Service Plan. If needed. Let lxjuis Johnson, assistant secretary of war, tell you how that works. "The first step would be registration of all male citizens between the ages of 21 and 30. This registration would take place on a single day through the election machinery of the states at the usual polling places. "Each registrant would be furnished with a numbered card, and names and numbers would be published in each local community. After that, a national drawing would decide who should be first and who last. "It would then be the task of 6,000 local boards in that many communities to decide whether their neighbor should serve his country as a soldier or sailor, or whether he would be more valuable as a munitions worker or a farmer. After physical examination, if his neighbors decide that a fellow citizen should go. he would Join the next quota going from his community to do his full share in xhe defense of his country/* Don't Blame Him A Frenchman waa relating his ex-j periences in studying English.

While employed at a livestock auction hero Brown purchased 7 goats at $1 to $1.50 apiece. Intending to take the animals to his home at the end of the day, he put them in a pen at the stockyards. Several hours later, other auction employees, unaware Brown had reserved the goats, sold four of them to another buyer. Still later the remaiuing three escaped front the pen. Two of the fugitives were captured, but it cost Brown a dollar to have them chased down by stockyard helpers. In addition, ho paid an automobile owner another dollar for damaged caused by one of the goats climbing over the motor car in his (light. And So To Bed The American and the Britisher were having the age-old argument about the merits of their home countries. They had ranged over the whole world of politics, industry, and literature, but neither had geography, and after discussing the groat cities on both sides of the Atlantic, the conversation got on to rivers. "Look at our Mississippi and Hudson rivers," exclaimed the American, "and then compare them with your Mersey, Severn and Thames?sickly, sleepy streams!" "I think yours are Just as sickly as ours," responded the Britisher. "How do you make that out?" inquired the American. "Well", was the answer, "they are ill r confined to their beds aren't they?"?Answers, London.
