for our jroung people? 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

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.”
