A modem recreation buildiiig. with adequate fa^ cilltles for all the young people in the . community, including such organlia- tions as the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, etc., would make a fine monument to our war Toterans -in each -of the 4ft counties of South Chirolina. “During the past few years many cities hare made the mistake of not providing adequate supervised whole some recreation for it's young people. Many churches have made the mis take of turning out the lights in their recreation halls, in some cases seven nights a week, while the bright lights of honky tonks, night clubs and other places, where young people would be better off If they did not visit, offer every temptation and lure to get them to patronise them. “If we are to make our communi ties the kind of places that our sol diers feel are worth fighting for, we must have great young people, we must have good young people. “It is squarely up to the Mayors, other public officials, school authori ties, parents and churches to provide clean surroundings and planned sup ervised wholesome recreation for our teen-age young people if we intend to make the next generation in our State the kind of people you would wish your own boy or girl to be. “We all have a great responsibility, we must be faithful to- our boys fight ing all over the world, we must build for them a cleaner and better Com munity than they left, we must pro vide clean surroundings and whole some recreation for our children, we must make of our communities the kind of places that they ought to be Pfc.

BADGER CAPTAIN ADOPTS UNIQUE TECHNIQUE TO WIN (Continued from first pags) his company of Infantrymen in cap turing a strongly defended Japanese hill by using a technique not to be found in any military manuals. O’Rourke and his men were trying to knock out the strongly held Jap hill. The Yanks were dug in on one side of the hill and the Japs on the other. Two of O’Rourke’s men jump ed up to take shots at the Japs but the Nips got them both. Grenades tossed by the Yanks failed to hit in side the deep hole screening the Japs. O’Rourke thereupon called for fiO- millometer mortar fire at an 87*de gree angle, at a range to explode 30 yards In front of the American po sition where O'Ro’urke and his men were dug In. The mqrtar was set up yards back of his own troops and mortar shells were pumped almost straight up in the air, descending on the Jap boles in a long barrage. The unexpected- barrage killed, wounded and demoralized the Japs and O’Rourkh and his men took the hill. All in all, the Yanks killed 270 Japs and lost but three of their own group, a record in the I..eyte cam paign. Asked how ^le. soldiers regarded MacArthur, Cifbtaln O'Rourke said the General was a hero in the eyes of most of the men. “General Mac- Arthur Is a strict disclpliniarian. Some of the men resent this regard for de tail and grouch a lot. But this group Is Just a'small one.” O'Rourke stated that too much cannot be said of the wondM-ful job the air arm of the fighting forces has done. “Without the flyers with their bombing planes and fighters, we could have done nothing,” be said. '' “The way these boys in the air softened up the Germans and the Japs w<<s som^hi^ t,P . vrli® fitiroe abouL It was sensational. The' navy also did good work through the medium of the big battle wagons. But it was the air arm that paved tha way for the Infantry and marines. They got the enemy groggy and we came in and landed the knockout.” YOU CAN HELP C This little Greek f Irl, in s raf> ted sweater mothers her baby sister, who b wrapped in tbs only hbuikei the family owns.
