The PEOPLES FORUM
WAIT A BIT, BOYS

There seems to be desire among
boys of Is or 10 years of age, even
younger, to enlist in the army or navy
at this time. | understand there are
several of our own boys in high school,
some OF the high school class, who
have definitely determined to enlist be-
fore long. It's to these boys would
speak a word of advice.
Now, of course this desire to have a
hand in putting the barbarians of
Europe out of business is commendahle
in every way. It's very natural, and
they may yet get their chance. But
let's wait bit. Don't be in hurry.
First, you are not yet needed in the
army or navy. Second, you are very
much needed at home.
Uncle Sam had many good reasons
for placing the minimum draft age at
p years. He gets plenty of men over
that age-more than can possibly be
equipped and transported. You your
selves can point out many on Vashon
Island alone who are over 81 and not
yet called. You will surely get your
chance ii the war holds, as now seems
certain, after you become of age, and
you will then find it soon enough.
It's not all glory and honor and a
picnic 10 90 to war. Its principally
hardship, and good deal of sickness
and pain maybe death-and at your
early age it's to be avoided unless you
become needed. THEN, not word
would / say of delay.
Let those who are eligible and ready
90 now. You boys stay and prepare
yourselves to take your places when
called, and | believe you will serve
your country better.
Boys generally nowadays are too
eager to take up the burdens of life at
an immature age. If you wait until
you are 81 to tackle the problems OF
life on your own hook, you will then
have about 50 years to fight, labor
and paddle your own canoe, and want
TO assure each of you that you will find
it plenty long enough. So wait a bit
Stand in line, but don't scrouge.
IVAN TONO.

MAIN QUESTION

At this time, Chickasha is with
out a real mayor and the leading po.
litical lights are in doubt as to
whether an election should be called
now or the office allowed to remain
in its present status until the spring
elections

from the mayors chair by action Of
the grand jury hero several months
ago, which action was approved by
a jury in the recent Coffman hear,
ing, c. H. Canemau, president Of
council assumed the duties Of the
mayor, acting as mayor protein.
Following the recent trial, the Ques-
tion outlined above was raised.
The spring election is to be held
about the middle of April and some
are disposed to wait until that time,
while others of the political family
in Chickasha want to call an elec-
tion as soon as possible. w. w
Clarke, city treasurer, and J. D. Car
michael local attorney will be in
Oklahoma City today and will take
the matter up with S. P. Freezing
