WASHINGTON, D. C. - Whether
you live in city or a small town,
or on farm in the rural areas Of
the nation, you have an obligation
as a citizen interested in saving
your own life and the life Of your
fellow citizens in the civil defense
program.
Many folks in small towns or on
farms may be inclined to take the
dangers inherent in a full-scale
war with a grain Of salt. There are
no barriers to poison or nerve gas
ies. There are no limits to biological
warfare, and the destruction of
the means of providing food to our
military personnel may be main
objective Of our potential enemy.
Suppose your neighbors in a near
by city have the most efficient civil
defense system possible to work
out and an enemy attack knocks out
large numbers of its personnel.
Then it may be the duty of those in
surrounding cities and towns and
to care for evacuees, to improvise
hospitals ana many Otner essen
tials of defense work.
There are hundreds of jobs for
civilians which must be filled: air.
plane spoilers, apprehension Of
saboteurs, guarding against water
poisoning or pollution, amateur ra-
do operators, ambulance drivers,
messengers, first aid trucks, stor-
age of thousands of items Of supply
In medication and food-transport,
engineers, housekeeping employees
for nursing and dietary depart
ments, cooks laundresses, blood
donors, Waterman at plants, utili-
ties, and essential services such as
dairies and pasteurization plants,
immunization of small animals to
prevent rabies, grave diggers, spe-
cially trained radiation detection
teams, air raid shelter construction,
and dozens of other essential work.

nation will provide the needed items
of supplies for which they are best
equipped. America, Engla d,
France and Germany will each con-
tend it can provide the best of
planes, tanks, trucks, guns and am
munition. The decision will rest
with Eisenhower.
That decision, when made, will
arouse many antagonisms which
can only be removed by the con-
testing manufacturers being shown,
systematically, the reason for his
decision. To permit such antagon-
ism to go unanswered would create
distrust on the home front that
could result is disaster on the bat
tie front.
That problem of production
of arms, munitions and supplies
for this International army con-
stitutes what is probably the
greatest single problem Eisen-
hover has undertaken. 1t will
call for the exercise of all the
peace in the International fam
lily, without which victory on
the battlefield will go glimmer-
ing. But to attempt to fight
war with the arms, munitions
and supplies not being inter-
changeable, coming from IL
different sources, would be i'm
possible.
The general will have no great
difficulty in organizing his general
staff. He can pick the best of the
officers from each of the II ma
tons involved, and the combined
ability of the general staff, applied
to the many problems involved
will aid materially in providing So

THE INTERNATIONAL ARMY
General Eisenhower is to or
ganize, equip and command, should
the Russians attack US or any one
of the Western European nations,
presents many intricate and diff
cult problems.
1t will be composed of troops
from II different countries, speak
ing and understanding II different
languages All must understand
army orders in exactly the same
way so that none work at cross pur-
poses in battle and cause what could
prove to be disastrous confusion.
He must devise a workable system
ings impossible before he can hope
to defeat the Russian hordes on
land
In Korea, General Macarthur,
as commander of the United
Nations forces, composed as it
Is of troops from several ma
tons, speaking and understand
ing several different languages,
has had somewhat the same
problem, though to a smaller
extent, and he has solved that
problem. He also has had the
problem of arms and ammuni-
ton supply for the troops from
different nations. That was diff
ficult, but he solved it.
Eisenhower will have the greater
problem of providing interchange
able arms and ammunition for his
army, so the same rifle bullets will
work for all troops regardless of the
country from which they come. The
agreement between the nations of
the North Atlantic pact is that each

mister. Instantly. He's sure OF
it,"
Streeter returned to the main iv-
ing room. Doc Humphrey was still
there.
"Who do you reckon would want
Homer killed, Doc?"
Humphrey scratched his chin.
"Plenty. Everyone who worked for
him hated him. He was a hard task
master" He glanced swiftly toward
the scowling figure of Jay Leonard
near the door. 81 reckon Jay hated
him as much as anyone. Then
there's Guy Halbert.
Guy was in Stansboro and Jay
amt the type to hate bad enough
to kill"
well, I don't reckon Minnie
would kill anyone"
CTREETER WENT out on to the
~ veranda, and sat down and
rolled a cigarette. He had lot of
thinking to do. He didn't want to
make any mistakes.
Suddenly the officer bounded to
his feet and went into the ranch
house where Doc Humphrey was
packing his bag Minutes later
he returned to the veranda just as
an automobile swung in at the
ranch gate. Guy Halbert leaped
from behind the wheel.
as he dead? Lord! l got here as
soon as l could"
Hes dead" Streeter nodded.
Halbert's eyes widneed. 81 was
afraid of that. l was afraid that's
what had happened when his voice
trailcd off"
That so?" said Bill Strcetcr.
Halbert produced handkerchief
and began mopping his brow. This
is terrible. Who do you think would
want to kill him, sheriff."
Suddenly, Halbert stopped
hopping his bro; and stared.
Behind the sheriff he saw the
dark face of Jay Leonard. Be-
hind Jay he saw Doc Humphrey.
'Say!" he said, whats wrong?
What are you all staring at me like
that for?"
"You otter know, mister" said
Streeter quietly.
Il? Why should I know" His
voice rose wildly Say, what's the
matter? Lord! You don't think l did
it? Why, l was in Stansboro! l can
prove it."
Sure you can. But you can't
prove Homer wasn't shot before you
went down there"
Il talked with him On the tele-
phone. 1t was me he told about his
being shot. 1t was me called you"
Called me SOS | wouldn't sus-
pect you. Streeter's voice was sud
denly cold, accusing. The doc says
Homer was killed instantly, mister"
But Halbert stopped talking.
Terror leaped into his eyes as the
significance of the sheriff's words
dawned on him. Killed instantly! A
man who is killed instantly couldn't
tell him over the telephone that
he'd been shot!

80 - az It originated in the
idea of public holidays
established to perpetuate the men,
cries Of great religious, military
and social events.
Such ancient civilizations as those
Of Egypt, Greece and Rome placed
great stress on their annual festivals
of one kind or another.
We In this country have our
universal celebrations of Easter,
Christmas and New Years, and the
legal or public holidays like indie
pendence Day, Memorial Day,
Labor Day and the rest.
Every one Of these holidays
is Of great significance to our
newspapers, particularly to the
small town weekly papers. And,
additionally, the big majority
gives them journalistic treat
ment In proportion to their sig
nificance.

paper holiday treatment" by ex-
banding it to cover the more i'm
portant social and commercial
days" and weeks"
The position that 1.-THE Readers
Date Book" will take in this matter
is that arranged events like Nation
al Pickle Week, National Noise
Abatement Week, National Restau-
rant Week, and all the rest of
them are, in the aggregate, quite
important to our economic and ma
terial welfare, and that they are
analogous to the spiritual and
psychological Importance tn
Christmas, Easter and Indepen-
dence Day hold for everyone.
No one can say for certain when
some idea-sharp promotion expert
or business man first conceived the
notion of applying the mass en-
thusiasm for traditional or pub
icly proclaimed holiday to a pri-
vately sponsored event or day.
Mothers Day, which we now
regard with considerable ma
tional reverence, had its begin
nings in much that way when
Miss Anna Jarvis carried out
her fervent campaign to get
recognized day set aside for the
mothers of America.
There are, then, sound and hon
orable reasons behind the estab-
lishment of what at first glance
might seem to be somewhat
brash and boisterous sales insti-
tuition
AS was suggested above, what
business is doing in this proclaiming
of days" and weeks" is simply
an effort to channel off some of
the normal public exuberance in
holidays into constructive CONNER
cial selling. 1t is, in the final an
alysis, another advertising medium.
Americas home town news
papers have shared widely, and
stand to share still more, in the
selection of advertising space
which most of the weeks"
naturally require to put their
campaign messages across.
1.-THE Readers Date Book" by
itself, has nothing to sell. 1t should
not be construed as an adver-
tisement in any sense of the word
no matter whether the subject
matter in a particular edition deals
with St Patrick's Day, Palm Sum
day. National Boy Scout Week,
National Tie Week or National Pea
nut Week.

mountain children had never seen

Judging from the size and scope
of the above list, it is patiently i'm
possible, in the space at hand, to
give thorough and complete cover
age to each one of the events.
Coverage will be based on the i'm
portance any given week or event
has for the merchants and con-
sumers in the small community.
The days" or "weeks' not
treated in detail will be listed, how
ever, in advance of their occur
renee so that if local preparations
are called for there will be time
for them to be made. AS a matter of
fact, all coverage will be in ad-
vance of the actual dates.
Also, you may note from the list
of May events that this column
will not confine itself strictly to
commercial observances. All the
major holidays and many Of the
minor ones will be given detailed
ttention-Mother's Day, Memorial
Day, Labor Day, Independence
Day, Christmas, Halloween, Ar
mistice Day and the others.
THE Readers Date BOOk'
will devote space to such
worthy efforts as National All
Club Week. National Boy Scout
Week, National Girl Scout
Week, National Camp Fire Girl
Birthday Week, National Boys
Club Week and similar social
institutions.
Finally, the column intends to
cover the traditional nationwide
philanthropic campaigns on behalf
of victims of tuberculosis, heart di-
sease, cancer, rheumatism a n d
arthritis, cerebral palsy, infantile
paralysis and the other Gripping
diseases which can only be con-
trolled and eradicated through the
support and cooperation of the
entire American people.

Controls On Exports
Last week the House passed a
bill providing for the control of
exports of ornaments and war
material by the United States
It's objectives are threefold. First,
its intent is to stop the shipment
of all types of armaments and
strategic materials to the Soviet
Union and her satellites by coun-
tries expecting to do business with
or to get economic or military aid
from us. Second, it provides for
a permanent United States policy
that can be used against any ma
ton that might in the future
threaten our security. And third
the bill provides for the cutting
off of all economic, financial and
military aid to any nation any
where which sells arms or Strate
gic materials to Russia are any
other country we believe danger
Gus to the safety of the United
States.
Because of our bitter past eX
periences the principle seems t
be sound. We, ourselves, have
