Democracy in action!
That’s the United States army.
Millions of young Americans in
Uncle Sam’s army are fighting on
fronts all over the world. And they
are proving their officers, from
lieutenants to generals, believe in
and practice what they are fight
ing for.
For more and more of the non-
com Yanks are being taken from
the ranks and sent to officer can
didate schools to fill the demands
for officers in the ever-expanding
United States army. It is through
this democratic process that the
war department knows will be
built the finest fighting army in
the world. For democracy de- j vate, gets the same consid*eration

Because of the volume of in
quiries that are being directed to
the Railway Express Agency of
fice by motorists with tires to
sell, Mr. Dukes made the follow
ing authorized explanation of pro
cedure under the Idle Tire Pur
chase Plan:
“To sell his tires to the govern
ment, the individual should tele
phone the Railway Express Agency
office to pick up his .tires and take
them to a government-designated
warehouse. The owner will be
given a receipt for the tires and
will receive his check, or war
bonds and stamps if he desires, in
payment from the government
shortly after the tires have been
inspected at the warehouse for
official determination of their
value. Payment will be at retail
price ceiling levels.
“Those who live outside Rail
way Express Agency pick-up zones
should bring their idle tires to
the Agency’s office.
“To each tire, the Railway Ex
press Agent will attach a shipping
tag identifying it with the receipt
given to the seller. All tires col
lected in this way will be sent to
the warehouses where they will
be appraised by a paid tire expert.
No deduction will be made for the
services performed by the Rail
way Express Agency.
“Damaged but repairable ti-es
and tubes will be appraised at
their ceiling prices, less cost of
repairs. Scrap rubber prices '1!
be paid for any that canno* '»e
made serviceable. Persons own' ig
casings obviously fit only «r
scrap, should sell them at on ^ to
scrap rubber dealers, a transa : on
permitted in present restri^.ive
orders.”
When the Idle Tire Pure’ ^se
Plan was announced by the of
fice of Price Administration i*
was stated that tires purcl: ;e<
would be available for ratio: in r

cars rolling for essential mileaje.

velops best, and causes its be
lievers to fight hardest, when it
moves upward througout the
whole.
Mentally alert, hard-working
privates, corporals, sergeants—all
of them have ample opportunities
to win commissions under the of
ficer candidate system. That is
the army’s policy. And that is
what is being done.
The fine thing about bringing
the young men of the U. S. armed
forces up from the ranks to a
commission is that there are no
inflexible rules in the army as to
the education background re
quired for appointment to officer
candidate schools. A young fellow,
a top-notch soldier with the quali
ty of leadership, does not lose out
through lack of academic train
ing.
An applicant for the training
school must be a citizen of the
United States or of the Philippine
Islands, or of a co-belligerent or
friendly country. He must be 18,
and not older than 46 by the time
he has completed his training
course.
A further eligibility requirement
is that the candidate must have
achieved a score of 110 or better
in his general classification test.
Even then, if a young fighting
American doesn’t make the grade,
his commanding officer may grant
permission to take the test a sec
ond time.
Many non-coms who have shown
unusual leadership and initiative
during maneuvers and m unusual
conditions have been appointed by
a general officer to the school for
officers.
Throughout the whole procedure
of obtaining officer candidates,
from the young American filing
his application, to the recommen
dation by the examining board,
there is a continual stressing of
the democratic way of action.

as does Staff Sergt. Tom Zalinski
as they both work towards their
shiny gold, single bar shoulder
pin.
Even when attending the officer
candidate training school the
democratic way is further stressed.
For there all insignia of grade
and rating are removed from the
clothing during the term.
The commanding officers of the
United States army are out to de
velop the finest fighting army in
the world so as to put an end to-;
those who rant and rave democ
racy is decadent, that no democ
racy could win in a fight against
a dictator’s army.
The best argument—a smashing-
proof! — against such fantastic
claims of dictators is being given
by the commanders of the United
States army today. The spirit
voiced in Vice President Wallace’s
speech concerning the “common
man” is being re-echoed through
out the U. S. army today.
Not name, not background, not
money nor influence matters to
Uncle Sam looking for officer can
didates. He wants ability. The
way he is getting it is truly demo
cratic way. You’ll be seeing the
results mighty soon.

BUDGETING YOUR WAR TIME
Mothers are constantly being
told, and rightly so, that their
greatest patriotic duty is to work
for the health, happiness and nor
mal developement of their fam
ilies. But even the most devoted
of them can’t help wanting to take
an active part in community war
work too. Here is how one
mother, who lives in a college
town, made it possible for herself
and four of her friends to devote
part of their time to Red Cross
and civilian defense, in spite of
f he fact that they all had little
children and no maids. It was
the simple plan of having one
of the mothers take care of all
of the children one afternoon
during the school week. Satur-
