"AM 1 WORTH DYING FOR?"

The line above is the title of a poem that one war bond
chairman has mailed to all the workers in his district. We were
reminded of it last week when a marine corps sergeant from
Valley county gave us a story told by Lieut.. G.g) Eddie Albert
of the navy, who commanded a group of landing craft in the
assault on Tarawa.
after our beachhead survived those first crucial hours,
we were able to land additional men and equipment and began
to push the Japs back" he relates. Maybe you read OF the
trouble we had with Jap pillboxes. One method was to mount
a IS millimeter gun low on a half-track, approach the pillbox,
put the muzzle of the cannon in the aperture, and blow it up.
But it was difficult to determine which OF the plllboxes
was occupied. Having only a single line of fire on their machine
guns, the Japs would hold their fire until someone crossed that
line. Since the machine guns couldn't be spotted through the
Sits of the half-track, a marine would march in front of ii, a
human target. When he drew fire from a machine gun nest,
he'd try to point to it or fall forward towards it and the half
track would follow up. Although this was an effective method,
it meant risking certain death, yet there was always another
marine ready to step forward and not once did they have to
ask for volunteers.
when men reach such heights in battle, show such self
sacrifice, can anything here at home be too much to ask"
There is only one answer to Lieutenant Alberts question.
Can you answer as well, "Am l worth dying for"

WHO WILL FOR IT?

In these days of big projects, big spending and big money
tales of paychecks in astronomical figures are commonplace
We are satisfied that a large percentage of war workers, al
though in many cases overpaid, have the welfare of the country
at heart.
One we talked to had a hard-headed and logical explanation
of his stand: Sure, I'm a good union man and a good man
should put out on the job he said. "Once in a while I meet
one of these birds who says Don't be a sucker. Why break
your neck?'
What 1 think is this. All the easy money l get and don't
work for now, some day I'll have to pay for it. Who else is
going to pay for it? It's going to hurt me just as much as
anybody else if 1 don't do a good days work. That's what 1
tell these wise guys who want to take it easy. The time will
come when they find it out for themselves"
The man who doesn't put OUT today, along with those who
do, will have his waste of time and materials reflected in his
tax bill. So, who is the sucker the man who loafs or the
man who does an honest job?

Pfc. Raymond E. Fuchs, son OF

Many Books
Available
BY Exchange

In order to make available here
in Glasgow any book that is needed
by local doctors, teachers, clergy
men, or other readers, the Carnegie
Public library has become affiliated
with the Pacific Northwest Biblio-
graphic center, according to an n
nouncement made by Miss Sophia
Bowling, librarian. This affiliation
means that any resident of Glasgow
may borrow through the public
library a copy of any book on any
subject that he might need for any
serious purpose.
This plan is neither complicated
nor difficult for the individual to
use. Suppose DR.. Jones wants to
read a volume of sermons published
during colonial days by a Massa-
chusetts clergyman. He asks Miss
Bowling of the public library for the
book. AS soon as she has determined
that the volume is not on her own
shelves, she requests it from the
photographic center in Seattle.
The wheels begin to turn at once.
Sometimes within three or four
Representatives longer, but event.
ually-that book of sermons will
arrive in the mail at the Glasgow
library, and DR.. Jones is notified.
To make available here in Glas-
gov the entire book resources of the
nation and that means several
million volumes-a well-organized
system of interlibrary lending is put
into motion. Most of the borrowing
is done within the state, but in the
case of the rarer books, it is often
necessary that they be obtained from
such places as the University of
California in Berkeley, the John
Crerar library in Chicago, the Bos-
ton Public library, or even the
Library of Congress in Washington.
Who pays for this service? When
the hypothetical DR.. Jones borrows
a book he merely pays the four or
seven cents postage it costs to mail
it. The rest of the cost is obsorbed by
the photographic center, which is
maintained by a special grant of the
Carnegie corporation, and by the
Libraries of the region, who consider
it part Of their obligation to an
educated America to provide a
needed book. regardless of where
that need might happen to arise.
