National Guard Plans
Recruiting Campaign

JACKSON -(SpeciaD-Plans for a
new National Guard Recruiting
Drive were announced today by Ad-
jutant General William P. Pat"
Wilson. The new drive is to start
right away and will continue through
June 80. Mississippi Guardsmen will
attempt to bring their strength up to
1890 men. General Wilson emphasiz-
ed that this is not the final strength
of the guard in Mississippi but only
the quota set for this particular
drive.
The Mississippi National Guard
now has total of SO organizations
located in 80 different cities and
towns in the state. There are ap-
proximately 10 more units to be acti-
waited under present ALLEGATIONS from
the department of the army.
Commenting on the rapid reorgan-
ization of the National Guard, Cen
eral Wilson stated that the present
National Guard of this state has
nearly twice the units of the pre-
war guards. He also emphasized the
need for more recruits in the Ma
tional Guard, both commissioned and
enlisted.
For veterans of World War H."
said General Wilson, 'the National
Guard is the ideal place to keep up
with the new types of arms and
equipment being issued regularly by
the Department of the Army. For
the younger man without previous
military experience, the National
Guard offers valuable training con-
Quoted by combat veterans using the
most modern equipment available"
Young men between the ages of
II and IS interested in serving with
the National Guard may obtain more
information from their local Nation
al Guard unit or by contracting the
Adjutant Generals Office, Old Cap
itol Building, Jackson.

veteran's News

More than a half-million World
War II veterans bought homes Of
their own with the aid of Govern
ment-guaranteed loans under the CT
Bill, the Veterans Administration
reports
VA said $4,000 CT home loans
were made to veterans during the
year compared with 100000 in 1916.
This brings the total number of CT
home loans approved since the pro-
gram started late in 1914 to 1,056,771.
VA found that the average home
bought by veterans in 1947 carried
price tag of $1,000. Four of every 10
veteran-purchasers paid over $4,000,
and one in 20 upwards of $4,000 for
the homes they chose.
Of 100000 first-mortgage loans
guaranteed during the year, 100000
were for the purchase of existing
homes at an average price of $1,000.

ing upon the size of the hog, where
as, it would cost you anywhere from
SIS to $40 head otter contracting the
disease and so per cent of the cases
the animal would be so far gone
until it would be impossible to cure
him.
A calf can be prevented from hav-
ing blackleg for 10 cents a head and
it is almost impossible to cure calf
for blackleg after he has contacted
the disease. One 500 pound calf
would pay for vaccination of 1000
calves so why not be on the safe side.
II you have hogs or calves that have
not been vaccinated do not delay.
The season for hog cholera and
hemorrhagic septicemia is at hand.
The coming of young grass and
warmer spring months is the time
that we have an outbreak Of black
leg in calves. Vaccinate all calves
under two years of age that have not
been vaccinated. This is a good in
surance against loss.
Cattle ThievsrY:
A number of farmers have told me
that they have lost from to Is or
more cattle during the winter due
to cattle rustlers in their area. 1t
would be a good idea to check on
your cattle every few days to see it
you have any missing and to keep a
lookout for cattle trucks in your area
at night. Be able to identify any
strange trucks that may be located
in areas that they should not be. 1t
is up to cattle producers to help
round up and report anything sus-
picious that you observe. Protect
your own interest.
