"t%
 It is the first call of the first military body in Seward To many of us it is the first ntmation of lives that Uncle Sam might need our individual services to protect the principles of our flag and the honor of ancestors who died to make it what it is.
 For all prosperity and comfort for all the safety and liberty of which have partaken so generously, Uncle Sam has not until now inferred that we were in his debt and owed him an acknowledgement of past favors and an expression of gratitude We have not been asked to face the scourge of battle the field to share in the death blow of any enemy submarine To ask us to perform simpler service would be mpOssble to ask to show less gratitude would be none at al We have only been asked to drill couple hours week in home town in order that if need be- in the distant future, could distinguish squads right" from squads left"
 To sign the roll of membership in our little military unit would be a gentemanly manner of expressing to Uncle Sam our appreciation for past favors and the establishment of right to share in future ones; it would prove to ourselves for our personal inward satisfaction that we are men of high honor and great pride in our American citizenship it would also show that try ing to assist in every way possible and that appreci ate the efforts of the Public Safety and Defense Commit tee who are working for us
