 Our congratulations to Selective Service OffCials we write not paen of praise glory for the Brass Hats" behind the scenes for we have in mind the n- freuuently mentioned pubic-Sprted citizens who on the brow of the fifth milestone of the great Demo cratic system" look back hours and hours of work studying questiOnnaires claims, appeals and whatnot of frantic youths of frightened mothers of pleading wives, etc. Some decisions came easy. Some with heartache but 1t duty and responsibility to pro Victory could be purchased as speedily and as cheapy as possible They succeeded. The American Army of induCtees and volunteers became the greatest fighting force in all history They OutfOught Outsmarted, outgamed the professionals of the Nazs and the Nips So on the fifth anniversary may we compliment the members of local draft boards on their spendd work They will rate whatever presidential or con- gressOnal recognition voted them later In the forms of certificates and medals, for they worked without monetary compensation And to the doctors and lawyers and others who assisted and who made sacrifices the debt of gratitude due them IS equally as great We also compliment the clerical stas who gave efficient service and generously of time and energy and above the requirements of ' 'paid jOb." We will let servcemen on their way to camp and future army life and veterans home from the war and its horrors write their own tribute Of kindness shown them and their kin at times when Q \ kind word was more pleasing than gifts material things.
