Do you every stop to think
wat il would be like to be fight

YOU ever imagine a war being
fought in Columbus county or
Horny and right in your own
township? Such war is gong
on N some ones township If
Korea today and you don't have
to have a great imagination to
picture the after effects.
Did you ever stop to wonder
what this country would be like
II a foreign and in this case
Communistic government should
take over with armed, foreign
soldiers maintaining law and
order? You talk about your que
rllla warfare, this country would
really see some. The spirit OF
freedom in this nation would be
mighty hard to harness by any
occupying army. In the first
place his nations citizenry own
more than $4,000 shotguns, more
than double the number owned ,
by private citizens of any other
nation IN the world. Now shot
guns are short range weapons
but with a good supply OF shells
loaded with buckshot, some &C.
army might draw a
nasty conclusion that the United
States was rather unhealthy
But should this ever happen, an
occupying army could and would
still have the last word. You re-
member how the Nazis destroyed
noudreds of innocent because OF
q few killings by underground
patriots. This wanton disregard
for the innocent could put a ter
rifle damper on the activities OF
even the most spirited guerlllas
even IN our country.
We do not believe that the !
time will come at any time when {

God will whip our forces. Yet, s
unless we can picture our own ,
mlsglvings, unless we can draw ]
our own forces nearer to God and ]
snow that we appreciate the op-
portunity of living "in the prom /
iSeo land" God Almighty could s
take away the freedom which we {
nave fought for and cherished :
