MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR
RUPERT E. KOON
Adopts New Method
ATLANTA, GA., Jan 2.—The War
Department has adopted a new poli
cy in notifying the next of kin (or
emergency addresses) of Army cas
ualties overseas whereby detailed in
formation may be received in the
shortest possible time, Major Gen
eral Frederick E. Uhl, Commanding
General, Fourth Service Command
announced here today.
General Uhl stated, “In addition
to the original casuality notification
telegram and letter of condolence
sent the emergency addressee from
the War Department in Washington,
a letter will be air.mailed directly
from the Commanding Officer of
the Chaplain of the organization to
which the soldier was attached. This
letter will be sent within a short
while after the casualty occurs and
will be specific in detail relative to
the circumstances of death, funeral
arrangements and overseas burial.
“When men are seriously wound
ed, the information will be forward
ed direct from the hospital to the
emergency addresses.
“Relatives and friends of Army
personnel casualties should keep in
mind that from the time of receiv
ing the original notification _ from
the Adjutant General until the sup
plemental information arrives from
the overseas theater, no further
word will be available at the War
Department.
“Prior to this new procedure, the
only information in the War De
partment was obtained through the
initial casualty report sent by code
indicating that the soldier had been
listed as a casualty on a specific
date. This made it impossible for
the office of the Adjutant General
to answer the many queries for addi
tional details on deaths. Under the
new program these details will be
supplied families at the earliest
possible date from the soldier’s
commanding officer.”
General Uhl explained “this new
procedure in both instances will
{naturally be of great comfort to
emergency addresses as well of val
ue to the War Department. It eli
minates the ‘middle man’—so to
speak—-by having the reports made
out at the hospital and mailed im.
mediately to the person concerned,
instead of being first transmitted to
the Adjutant Qeneral and fi>e >ce to
the emergency addressee.”
General Uhl emphasized that this
new plan will in no way eliminate
the “message of cheer” which each
emergency addressee is encouraged
to send at Government expense to
a wounded soldier once a month, nor
will it affect the present policy
whereby a special report is submit
ted to the Adjutant General in the
case of any patient who has been
hospitalized either for wounds, in
juries or illness and who takes a
dangerous turn for the worse.
A LESSON IN GIVING
GEORGE H. SLIGH
(Continued from page four)
the ship's officers and from un
wounded army and navy officers
aboard. They were doing it almost
surreptitiously, for they didn’t want
it to get out that they needed
blood.
And why didn’t they want it to get
out? Because if it had, there would
have been a stampede to the hospi
tal ward by the other wounded men,
offering their blood to this dying
comrade. Think of that—a stam
pede of men themselves badly
wounded, wanting to give their
blood!
George Hallman Sligh, 59, died
Saturday night at the Providence
hospital in Columbia.
Mr. Sligh was a farmer of the St.
Philip’s community. He was the son
of the late Thomas Ernest and Mary
Butler Caldwell Sligh, of Newi>erry
county.

(Continued from page five)
man's mind and heart are the influ
ences which count most in evaluing
life. But He was no railist, in the
small sense of the idea which gov
erns today; He did not swerve from
the right in order to appease any
one. In the two thousand years the
practical men, the realists, have
lived and blundered and died, and
slowly, painfully, the world look to
Him: it still relies on the realists.
though every advance in human rela
tions derives its impulse from the
lowly babe of Bethlehem, who grew
to manhod and spake as never man
spake.
The world is full of good people.
Most of us have pecularities, but so
much good abounds that we can over
look the petty faults fr the moment.
Everywhere people are bustling
around, buying things for the loved
ones at home; and remembrances for
those away. This Christmas will find
many hearts more attuned to the
guns in Europe and Asia than to the
cheerful chatter around us.
The world is full of sorrow, too,
and grave preoccupations. But we
cannot serve our country of our
fighting men by being glomy. They
are doing their part and we have
ours to do. We must carry on our
work with our full energy and pur
pose, if our work is useful at all;
and if it isn’t useful let us drop it.
The Atlantic Charter, which many
would invoke, was something _ which'
Mr. Rosevelt and Mr. Churaiill put
on paper some months before Amer
ica was in the war. In August, W4X,
four months before Pearl Harbor,
when the United States was at paace
with all the world, Mr. Roosevelt
held the dramatic meeting with Mr.
Churchill at sea and this so-called
Atlantic Charter was drawn up. _ I
repeat, we were not at war with
Germany and Japan, nor was Russia
a party to it. How, then, does it ap
ply to any of us today except as a
gesture? The practical men are
practising realism again and becom
ing jealous of one another, even
while major operations are in full
swing. France wants security; Rus
sia wants security; and security Is
being based on military alliances.
Isn’t that about where we were years
ago ? What the world needs is a
basis of trust.
(By Rev. J. E. Roof)

They didn’t do it to get $4 for $3, any more than our
fighting nien are risking their lives for service pay.
They did it to save American lives, to save time—
because they know that the quickest way to clean and
final victory is to overwhelm the enemy with superior
equipment—wo matter what the cost. They did it for
America—for Victory. And they’ll keep c:i buying
bonds until victory is won.
But that $4 you’ll get back in 10 years fc.? vvery : -3
you put into War Bonds now is important, too—
mighty important, both to you and to America. Be
cause we must not only win the war but the peace.
And to keep the wheels humming so that there will
be jobs for all, we’ll need money—all of us. Money
for repairs, replacements, education, travel. Money
wc can t!-aw on out of reserve — War Bond money.
So for Victory today—and prosperity tomorrow—
keep buying Bonds, and keep the Bonds yyti buy!
