The tragedy of Korea is further
heightened by the fact that its
military action is confined to its
territorial limits. 1t condemns that
nation, which it is our purpose to
save, to suffer the devastating
impact of full naval and air bonn
bardment while the enemy's sane
tuaries are fully protected from
such attack and devastation.
OF the nations of the world,
Korea alone, up to now, is the
sole one which has risked its all
against communism. The mag
nificence of the courage and forti-
tude of the Korean people defies
description. They have chosen
to risk death rather than slavery.
Their last words to me were:
Don't scuttle the Pacific"
Old Soldiers Just Fade Away"
l have just left your fighting
sons in Korea. They have met
all tests there, and l can report
to you without reservation that
they are splendid in every way.
1t was my constant effort to
preserve them and end this saw
age conflict honorably and with
the least loss of time and a
minimum sacrifice of life. It's
growing bloodshed has caused me
the deepest anguish and anxiety.
Those gallant men will remain
often in my thoughts and in my
prayers always.
I am closing my fifty-two years
Of military service. When /

hopes and dreams.
The world has turned over
many times since I took the oath
on the plain at West Point, and
the hopes and dreams have long
since vanished, but I still remem-
Der the refrain of one of the most
popular barracks ballads of that
day which proclaimed most
proudly that old soldiers never
die; they just fade away.
And like the old soldier of that
ballad, l now close my military
career and just fade away, an old
soldier who tried to do his duty
as God gave him the light to see
that duty. Good bye.

1t was decided at the meeting of
the Community Garden Club of
Rockville on Tuesday, February
goth, to save several hundred dol
lars in it's treasury for future
spending on a civic project having
the support of other organizations,
probably the Teen-Age Recreation
Centre. Mrs. Francis van de Veer,
who is chairman of the Flower
Mart, outlined plans for the an
nual affair to be held on the Court
House lawn on May 18th. 1t is
hoped that the public. will take ad-
vantage of the wonderful values in
annual and perennial plants,
shrubs, and vegetable plants to be
offered again this year. There will
be baked goods, gifts, grabs for the
children, candy and fancy work, as
we'll as plants. Light lunches and
soft drinks will be sold, and to cap
the climax, a colorful maypole
dance by the Bluebirds.
The club voted to urge the May

Mr.. McNayr to have the stones
missing from the wall surrounding
the building replaced.

grams on the subject. She also
announced two courses to be given
at George Washington University
