Farewell for County
Selectees.

We at home dare not be SNUG
and complacent and self-satlsfleo
that the war has not touched us
vet. If the war has not touched us,
has not affected our patterns OF
thought and way of life, we are
SlackerS, and we must examine our
selves carefully that we may be Wor-
thy of our men when they come
home" said Mrs. Emory B. Peas IN
addressing the audience at the COM
munity program honoring the Oc-
tober quota of SelecteeS at the CIVIC
center Monday night.
Our safety and security are be-
ing bought with a price, the price
of struggle and sacrifice on the part
OF our American men and women

them we must make this a country
to which they will be proud to re-
turn. We must as communities n
as a nation, be making plans TO re-
deem the promise made that their
Jobs will be held for those whose

Speaking of the peace to come
she said, IF it is to be fair and
lasting, statesmen and not polltl-
clans. Christians and not b~loodthlrs-
ty revengiStS, civilized intelligent hu-
man beings and not ave men must
write that peace. The church should
be represented at the peace table,
not as Starry-eyed idealiStS, but as
practical men who understand the
hard realism of Jesus word, They
that take the sword shall perish by
the sword Germany is having to
learn this the hard way with al
ready more than a million and a
half civilians killed in Allied air
raids.
In concluding, she said to the Sc
lectees, You are sacrificing time,
strength and life to the service OF
your country. We, too. dare do no
less"
