McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, SOUTH CAROLINA Thursday, February 12, 1942 McCORMICK MESSENGER Published Every Thursday Established June 5, IMS EDMOND J.

It is also a good time to add our deep ap proval to that resolve, for every • one of us today is determined io ■ see to it that no American who has died for the cause of freedom has died in vain. We may not think of our de fense of freedom from the view point of preserving a heritage for which many of our forefathers gave their lives. We are more apt to think of it as a struggle to pre serve our own comforts and to ’ protect the future of our children. But actually the American tra dition is something bigger than any of us—something that was •built up at tremendous sacrifice by generations of hardy souls who worked and fought to prove that a nation could be “conceived hi liberty and dedicated to the prop osition that all men are created . equal.” At times in our recent history it has looked as though the hard work was done—that the nation our forefathers conceived had been completed and we of the present generation could sit back and enjoy the fruits of freedom without further struggle. But that is not to be. Our free dom has again been threatened and we, as Americans, are once more called upon to protect it with our lives. Once again we must prove to another challenger that “the government of the peo ple, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.” —Buy Defense Bonds— Notice.—CiA| No. 309.-—-United which is attaeboH tn tha na+ttov..

McCORMICK, S. C -XX- TODAY and m Don Kobinson TOMORROW . guessing When all the shooting ends, what is America going to be like? Picturing tomorrow—the tomor row after the war—is pretty much like crystal gazing. It’s a matter of doing a lot of guesswork with unknown quantities. The only thing we really can feel sure about tomorrow Is that we are going to win the war. We haven’t much of an idea what the peace will be like, what kind of government we will have in the United States nor how those quarter-of-a-trillion dollars which we may owe are going to be paid off. If we are so disposed, we can get gloomy over the prospects for tomorrow in spite of anticipating victory on the war front. But if we look beyond the debt, the hardships of war and the un certainties of our social organiza tion, it is quite possible to envision a silver lining on the other side of the war-clouded horizon. Probably our outlbok today will have most to do with the kind of tomorrow we get. For we do know this—if the world of tomorrow is to have a silver lining that lining will have to be manufactured in the U. S. A. It can only be pro duced by the planning, the work ing and the faith of democratic people. BRAINS resources If the brains of 100,000,000 in telligent Americans are striving to create a better world after the war, the chances are excellent that they will find the formula for accomplishing this goal. Man power may play a major part in winning the war, but brain power will be the chief factor in planning the peace. We may not have a monopoly on brain power, but, just as we have the right set-up for supe riority in the mass production of goods, a democracy, such as ours, also can count upon superior mass production of ideas. In a dictatorship the ideas of the people don’t matter. Tile people in Germany are told what to do— they depend solely on the ideas of Hitler and his gang. In our coun try, on the other hand, the gov ernment depends on the ideas of all the people. It makes full use of its vast resources of brain power. Certainly the combined mental energy of 100,000,000 peo ple can produce something su perior to the mental gymnastics of a handful of misguided fanatics. VISION anticipation Perhaps what we need in this country today is a pair of imagi nary rose-colored glasses for every man, and woman to look through —even if we have to wear them over gas-masks. They need to be so rosy in color that we can see a beautiful glow in the sky of the future even though our immediate view is blurred by dive bombers. A thousand different writers in a thousand different ways have preached the “look for the silver j iining”— “what’s the use of wor rying”—'“singing in the rain” gos pel, but most of us have difficulty making these philosophies stand up under pressure. But if we ever are really going to try to make those Pollyana-like philosophies work, now is the time to do it. We need to keep our mental eyes glued on a future which is as fascinating as the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. We need to keep thinking about tomorrow—and we must look for ward to it as something as excit ing as the night before Christmas is to a five-year-old child, i If we can do that, both in our dreaming and our scheming, there is little doubt that our dreams I will come true. MORALE fear j All of us who have followed the news of this war have been im pressed by the importance which military and government leaders in all countries attach to morale. Morale is defined by Mr. Web ster as: “Condition dependent upon such morale or mental fac to: s as zeal, spirit, hope, confi dence.” The most important element for building morale in this coun try is not just an all-out' effort for victory but an all-out antici- i pation of the life that is in store for us after victory is won. Hitler is trying to build morale among the German people on the basis of fear. He tells them that they will be enslaved for a thousand years if they don’t win. He has taught them to dread the future if they lose instead of to long for the post-war period. Morale built on fear doesn’t fit the definition of Webster or of anyone else. It weakens the spirit, blinds hope and shakes confi dence. Our victory will be an easier one if we build our morale firmly on hope—if we are drawn on by the vision of a future which surpasses anything we ha've known before. —Buy Defense Bonds— Many NYA Trained Youth Are Entering Into War Industries Columbia. Feb. 9.—One every minute, day and night, Sundays and holidays included—that’s the rate at which NYA-trained youth are going from the national de fense training work-shoos of the National Youth Administration r.nto war industries. In a reoort made public today. State Youth Administrator Rode rick G. Mclver announced that the National Youth Administra tion in South Carolina is now completely geared to our war ef fort with NYA vouth in the state getting practical experience and training essential to war indus tries and to civilian defense. “At the present time 3.020 South Carolina youth are em ployed on the out-of-school pro grams of the NYA. A high per centage of these young people are getting experience and training in the metal and mechanical fields essential for mbs in war oroduc- tion industries and for the mechanized branches of the arm ed forces. Others are preparing for occupations essential to the public health and to civilian de fense. “NYA youth learn a job by doing it in workshops using pro duction methods corresponding to those in private industry. By in tensive on-the-job training, these young people acquire experience and dexterity in the handling of tools and machinery, familiarity with trade terms and mechanical processes, proper work habits, and general shop and safety practices,” Mclver stated. There are now 7 national de- | fense training centers and proj ects in operation by the NYA in ; South Carolina in which out-of school youth between the ages of 18 and 24 are given work experi ence and training in such occupa- | tions as lathe operation, welding, sheet metal, auto mechanics, woodworking (ship fitting) and industrial sewing. The success of the NYA defense training program is indicated by the fact that 43,000 NYA youth ! over the nation secure jobs in pri vate industry every month. “In South Carolina a continuous stream of youth go from the sheet metal shop of the Charleston Resident Center into jobs at the Navy Yard; and last week, in one .day, 18 youth trained at the i West Columbia Resident Center were employed by the U. S. Ord nance Depot. Other youth train ed by NYA in South Carolina have secured jobs in the Ford Instru ment company and even as far distant as Hawaii,” Mclver re ported. 1 Cut-of-school youth are paid a small monthly wage to enable them to pay their own way while they are employed by the National Youth Administration in South Carolina getting practical experi ence and training for industrial jobs.
