NEW PRIVILEGES FOR WAVES
Under a new niling by the Navy
department, young women from this
State who are accepted for Naval
Officer training will be notified, up
on their acceptance, just what rank
they will hold when commissioned
and also where they will be assigned
to perform duty after they have
successfully completed their indoc
trination, it was announced today by
Ensign Charlotte C. Stevens, head of
WAVES Procurement in this state.
She pointed out that in Class V-10
(enlisted branch), also, the Navy
department has immediate need for
47,000 more WAVES to perform 246
different types of duty: Parachute
Riggers, radiomen, storekeepers,
Link Control and Control Tower op
erators, Hospital Corpsmen, tele
phone operators. Carrier Pigeon
trainers, Aerography and many
others. Ensign Stevens said, “Girls
enlisting now will not be sent to
school before the January 7th class,
so they won’t have to worry about
not being home for Christmas. They
will be sent to Hunter college at the
largo Naval Reserve Training school
for women in New York, and after
five weeks of indoctrination, will be
assigned to Specialists schools thru-
out the country.”
Women between 20 and 36, who
have no children under 18, should
contact the Office of Naval Officer
Procurement, University of South
Carolina, Columbia, or the Navy
Recruiting Station at the Postoffice,
Newberry, every Friday for further
information on the WAVES.
Ensign Stevens added: “This is the
chance for girls to meet new peo
ple, go to new places, and to serve
right behind the fighting front.
Don’t forget, women who are mar
ried to Navy enlisted personnel may
also serve in the WAVES now.”
NOTE.'—The Travelling Recruiter
arrives in Newberry on Thursday
night of each week and will make
special appointments to any inter
ested person who is unable to see
him during the Friday office hours
of 10 a. m. to 5 p. m. because of
work or for any other reason. For
special appointment call the recruiter
at the Newberry hotel.
ETERNAL PEACE
(By Pvt. A. J. Bechrach)
And now I depart.
As many more have done ere myself
1 leave for the wars,
A crusader without a sword.
Khaki cloth my coat of mail.
What, I ask, do I leave behind?
Those myriad things not meaningful
before.
That now so priceless be.
I leave a family behind,
Good folk who bore me twice—
Once from the darkness of the womb
And once from bayhood into man.
i leave a girl behind,
A girl whom I love,
Whose image seared across my mind
Will hold me here where’er I go.
I leave my books behind,
Nurses of my mental ills,
Guardians of my mental growth,
Changeless, faithful, firm and wise.
One more thing,
I leave a message behind,
That we who fight foi freedom now
dan see no right in fut.le strife,
if lessons writ by dying men
Go unlearned at home.
Phis I make as no request
But rather a demand,
For pleas go unheard.
if ye who rule lose in parley
What we gain in blood,
And cause our unborn sow* to march
Again for nought,
We shall come back,
Chough some be off this mortal roll,
And then shall ye know full well
The fury of a disillusioned heart.
Congress, the bewhiskored target
of cartoonists and scapegoat for
nost of the country’s ills, is actually
a part of the last barrier that stands
between the American people and
outright despotism. The other part
s the supreme court.
To confirm this fact, one need only
■onsider the recent controversy be-
ween a leading merchandising firm,
nd the OPA. Several months ago
n conforming with provisions of the
Emergency Price Control Act, the
■ompany registered complaints with
he OPA setting forth certain alleg-
>d injustices in the price rules. Con-
tress included a clause in the Act
dipulating that such complaints
nust be acted upon within 30 days
>y the OPA. In the absence of the
mvilege of recovering damages,
elief from unworkable price decrees
s the sole protection of merenan-
lisers.
Things could be worse. Christ-
nas this year won’t fall on a meat-
ess Tuesday.

Never before in history has the symbolic significance of Christ
mas been of such importance. The past year has been one of
many trying circumstances. It has seen many disappointments,
many dreams unrealized, and we have ali been through a trying
and difficult period. But our heritage has not forsaken us. In
the good old American tradition, we have come through another
year. It is true that it has not been normal. It is likewise true
that we have not enjoyed the happiness and luxuries to which
we are accustomed. But the satisfaction obtained from success
fully concluding the past twelve months should give us more
courage to face the coming year with utmost confidence.
A: you enter the Christmas season, please accept our good
wishes for your good health and happiness. The season's best
to each of you;

However, the complaints were not
answered within the prescribed per
iod. The company then appealed to
a special emergency court which held
that since OPA had not denied the
complaint, the cause was not within
that court’s jurisdiction. In simple
terms, the decision, if allowed to
stand, means that OPA can prevent
a private citizen from having his
day in court by merely neglecting to
pass judgment upon any protest
coming before it!
As the case goes before the United
States Supreme court, a recent
warning uttered by Representative
Hatton W. Summers of Texas, rings
with new meaning; “The bulk of
what are in effect our general laws
are now being Tnade not by Congress
but by bureaucrats.” The threat of
bureauetdK’' to personal liberty has
become real and deadly. Only Con
gress has the power to remove this
threat.

THE MILK production problem be
gan when the government bega*
to bait farm and dairy hands with
“easier living” jobs with the WPA
and other so-called reforms of the
new order. It grew worse when the
military draft authorities paid no at
tention to farm needs & took count
less thousands of farm and dairy
helpers into service. It got worse
when the wage and hour authorities
permitted' wages and short working
days in war plants to go beyond rea
sonable bounds, while nothing waa
done to induce the remaining few
trained hands to stay on the farm.
The problem became still more se
vere as the OPA put its finger in the
milk business.—Oklahoma City Times
