WACs Attention! !!
BY PVT. ESTELLA 7. cox

Today, as we pause and reminis-
Gently scan the stream of civilian
time, the present WACs think of
those days as being "at ease" Our
country is at war now; yesterday has
been swept into the sea of forgetful-
ness, it has passed with the tide.
Now the present is here, and with
the present we the WAC have snap
ped to attention and have answered
the cal of Our Great Nation" We
have answered the call to arms
earnestly and are willing to do our
part by being obedient and eXecut-
ing orders.
The commands of our Country
are: Right Face"-and in this di-
rection we see the present : the
present with a Great Work to be
done in Great Country by a Great
People-the WAC" In this present
we see "Old Glory" with her pic
turesque colors of red and white
and blue, proudly waving in the
air, and as we gaze with pride upon
the beautiful flag, we are filled with
inspiration and a determination to
help fight for the cause until Vic
tory is won.
"By the right flank"-we march
spiritually and prayerfully realizing
that prayer is the only medium be-
tween man and God.
"By the left flank = we march
morally realizing that the WAC
must live up to and maintain the
hi or 0DiH 10
represent fine American woman
hood.
ITO the rear"-we march physi-
cally because we know America
wants pure red blood ever flowing
in her daughters veins, pure blood
that gives us the strength to go a
step farther and do better job
Forward March - looking into
the future life of our country we
see a great need for every WAC.
We come to hills to climb, and we
prefer to be "At reSt," but as true
American women we double time
and ask for strength and courage to
continue our jobs and do them well.
WAC soldiers, may we ever keep
before us the beautiful thought that
if we continue to cooperate and do
all we can, wherever our superior
officers see fit to send us, the sun
will surely come shining through
the dark clouds and Victory will be
ours, and in the future we the
WACs will join that caravan in cele-
brating Victorious America. We
must remember this poem:
Thou, too, sail on, Oh Ship OF
State, bt
Sail on, oh Union strong and
great!
Humanity with all its fears,
With all it's hopes for future
years
Is hanging breathless on thy
fate"

In 1890. when Pingree was

He wasn't elected. Pat Shee-

West went to WILLIAMSON, II

after and started Shagbark. In
1899 he was elected circuit
judge, post he held until Gov.
Alex j. Groesbeck elevated him
to the supreme bench in 1921.
Forty-four years on the bench!
His contribution to Michigan's

West was admitted to the bar,

Today, he is a very important

AS he talked of the books,

Justice West suddenly grew
impatient.
"Mr. Bartlett" he called, I'm
going upstairs.
"Mrs. West will not be back

Now the justice has been suf-

painful, but it has kept him

The Military Academy had a
splendid library. known as the
Baldwin Library" because the
collection was contributed by
Judge Augustus c. Baldwin.
Some years later, the school
hit rocky days and finally sus-
pended. Remembering those two
Sheepskin-bound volumes, West
went to hard Lake and
bought the entire library.
So the two government reports
became his after all-and the
young lawyer had a start toward
a library which today includes
the 5000 books at Shagbark and
the 5000 in the Lansing home,
all catalogued and indexed.
