He'll
or A Guy
BY Paul Calico

The foot-soldier has been
in action since the war be-
gan. In recent weeks he has
been catching hell in Italy,
in France, in the Pacific, and
before it's over the hell that he's
going to catch is going to be
worse, not better.
Infantrymen, returning from
the other side, are unhappy to
find that people back home do
not even know what they are
about or what they do, and GER
tainly not what they suffer and
how hard their war is. For
every ten stories or radio shows
about heroism in the air or at
sea, there is not one that deals
with the self-sacrifice, the gal
lantry and the stubborn pugna-
city of the infantry soldier.
More and more of these boys
will be coming home wounded
or invalided, and word will be
quick to get back to the front
that the infantryman is the for
gotten man of the war, unsung
and unappreciated.
That's The Infantry
The Army has one graphic
way of calling attention to what
the Infantry is doing. The Army
says when you see that black line
across the map, the wavy black
line that creeps forward eating
up enemy territory, that's the
Infantry. The Army also points
out what is never realized by
the layman about the war, even
this modern highly mechanized
war. The entire mechanization
of every other branch of the
Army, exists only for. the pur-
pose of advancing the Infantry.
Thus, there would be no point
to the engineer building bridge
over a stream if nobody walked
over 1t. There would be no point
to the tanks crashing through
enemy Notifications if the In
fantry didn't storm behind them
and hold the ground won. Ar
tillery on the ground and ar
tillery in the air prepares the
way for the Infantry.
What the Army hasn't pointed
out is that the whole mechanic
al shebang is also directed
against our infantryman, that
the entire power of the enemy's
might, his guns, his tanks, his
dive bombers, his mines and
BOBBY traps, are aimed to de-
stroy our foot soldier. In addi-
ton to which the doughboy
must meet the enemy soldier in
hand to hand combat with rifle,
grenade and bayonet. When he
reaches an objective he has
been through all the hell on
earth that man can devise to
get there. The gallant and CLAM
orous fighter pilot deals witlt
one opponent on equal terms.
It's a fair enough duel, shoot
down or be shot down. Every
body is throwing stuff at the
foot soldier. His peril is three
dimensional. He gets it from
above, from in front and from
behind, and, as if that were not
enough, the earth beneath him
erupts to destroy him. In adj
dition he fights under appalling
conditions, in rain, sleet, snow
and freezing weather, or in
burning heat. He sleeps where
he can and when he can and
eats in the same way. If his
supply lines are disrupted, he
fights hungry. If he is nearly
dropping from lack of sleep and
exhaustion, he still has to fight.
He is really one hell of guy.

LANSING, Sept. IL. - One
brood of Hungarian partridge
has been identified positively,
another almost certainly, by
conservation department game
men who have checked results
of the release of approximately
200 birds in Barry county last
spring.
Evidence that "hunkies" will
rear families after they are
turned loose from the depart
ment game farm near Mason is
seldom obtained. Another $50
birds from the farm were re-
leased last week in south central

lnn1uniza+ions
To Be Given

In preparation for immunizations
for smallpox and diphtheria to be
given in the city elementary schools
by Dr.. Miriam Hubbell, county
health officer, consent slips are
being sent to the parents this week

immuniationS.
Parents are asked to have the

ed by their family physician, in
which case the school nurse should
be notified SO that the information
may he put in the children's health
records.
If there is no family physician,

Since there are a few cases of
diphtheria in the valley, children
under II years of age who are not
adequately protected should receive
innoculaticns at this time.
Diphtheria immunizations are
given in three doses, four weeks
apart. Consent to the first dose
automatically includes the series.
Smallpox vaccinations should be
repeated every five years. Any
child who was vaccinated less than
five years ago may be re-vaccinated
at this time by bringing to the
school written consent from his
parents.
DR.. Hubbell will give a combina-
ten of whooping cough and diph-
liberia vaccine to any pre- school

SENDS THANKS

oENDS
Not every one is as thoughtful as
Cpl. Fred Williamson of a division
stationed on the desert area, who
wrote to the Po5t-Press, asking the
paper to acknowledge for him, his
appreciation of all who helped to
make the Christmas dinner dance
in the Veterans hall success:
Il wish to thank all those good
people of Ell Centro for their kind
ness and cooperation in arranging
the Christmas party for my COM
pany, and who gave SO generously
Of their time and effort on our be-
half.
I'VE were more than just ap-
preciative of the friendly welcome
we received and our thoughts of Ell
Centro shall always be pleasant and
kindly. Our sincere good wishes to
all"
While no one expects credit for
anything done, still we are all
human and it is nice to be thanked.
Special gratitude is expressed to
Mrs Percie Thacker, Mrs. Alice
Harrison, H. c. McClimans, Al
Bevins, and Mr.. McNamee.
AID VICTIMS
Among its many activities the
American Red Cross is preparing to
ship shortly 100000 pounds of
evaporated milk and almost 2,000,-
900 multi-vitamin tablets for the
victims of the famine in India.
This shipment Of milk represents
the equivalent of a million quarts
and the vitamin tablets are suf-
ficient for 10000 children for three
months.
When Norman H. Davis, chair
man for the American Red Cross,
cabled the Indian Red Cross offer
ing assistance, the reply came:
Deeply grateful for your offer of
assistance in famine relief. We are
providing milk blankets and cloth
ing for destitutes Shall welcome
supplies of milk which is required
in large quantities"
The Indian Red Cross recently
cooperated with other Red Cross
officials in transferring the relief
cargo for American prisoners of
war in the Far East from the ex-
change ship Gripsholm to Japa-
nese ships in Portuguese India.
FOOD PACKAGES
Each week the Red Cross sends
250,0O0 prisoners of war food pack
ages from four Red Cross centers,
the help in this work being largely
volunteer. These standard pack
ages are particularly planned to
give in concentrated form all the
nourishment and vitamins possible,
and the packages also include
cigarettes and soap.
Besides the prisoners of war
standard package, the invalid pack
age is sent to prisoners who are i'll
or recovering from sickness or
wounds requiring specialized foods.
Packages for infants were de-
veloped recently to meet the needs
of babies born in civilian intern
ment camps and the needs of
small children who have been
interned with their parents.
Red Cross ships sail regularly
between Philadelphia and Marseilles
and are the only ships that sail
the Atlantic fully lighted.
