Sent Out By
Col. Collins

ATLANTA, Ga.-(SNS)-
The Georgia State Guard,
through Col. r. W.. Collins, Com
mander of the Guard in this state,
has issued a general order which
is of general interest to the citi-
zens of both races.
1t was stated through the order
dated August that the Guard
has been in existence more than
four years and that during this
period the fact that an efficient
State Guard existed has minimi-
zed it's use in carrying out the
missions for which the Guards
men have trained.
Emphasized in the statement is
sued was this phase: 1--WE hope
that justice, fairness, and the
consideration for all citizens of
our great state VIII continually re-
duce the need for a call to active
duty. However, should such a call
come it is our duty to maintain
law, and order OF 10 restore the

Alert Soldier
Saves Two From
Greek Drowning

MAXTON, N. C.-Corporal Wade
Rowles, of 2016 Fort Meyer Drive,
Rosslyn, Virginia, is an alert SOL
der and because of that two of
his buddies probably owe their
lives.
The husky soldier, former pro-
feSsional boxer, pulled them out of
swift creek used for swimming
by troops at Laurinburg-Maxt
Air Base after they had been
caught in the current of a whirl-
pool.
The double rescue happened
within a period of less than two
hours while Private Bowles was
taking it easy" on the banks of
the drawing creek during Off
duty time. Those rescued were
Private Henry Wright of Lacka-
wanna, N Y, and Private Lucius
Wilson of Atlanta, Ga.
Observing swimmer splashing and
kiching and then going under,
Bowles plunged into the creek and
swan to him, pulling him to safe
ty after a tough struggle. 1t was
Private Wright who had gone un-
der twice before Bowles could get
to him.
Less than an hour later, cries for
help came from the same swift
| current" spot Of the creek and
again the alert Bowles went to the
rescue. This time, was Private
Wilson.
A modest fellow, Cpl. Bowles
was reluctant to tell the story but
the near-victims and a spectator,
Private Rodell E. Baker, of PaSa-
dena, Md, wouldn't let it keep.
