They Leave Their Homes
To Protect Us

In the last half of 1850 and all
of 1851 there was a wide difference
between the obligations of those
who served in the Armed Forces
and those who did not. Under the
most favorable circumstances the
boy who shOuldered the response
bility of service in the uniform of
his country felt that he was MAX
ing a contribution greater than
that of his friend who might well
be preparing for some important
service at some distant time. Just
now the boy in, or headed for in
ductiOn, believes he has picked up
a heavier load of citizenship re-
spOnsibilities than the nOnservice
contemporary, no matter what the
latter is doing.
Equality of sacrifice is never pos
sible, though much nearer so when
there is no mobilization, or when
there is complete mobilization.
Consequently there is small won
der that those selected for induc-
ton should feel society has reQuir-
ed a great deal of them There are
many things that cannot be done,
but there is one thing that can and
unfortunately not always is done.
To be appreciated is a most heart
warming experience. Some evi-
dence of appreciation by those for
whom the boy is inducted can be
given him as he leaves his city, his
town, or his community.
There are many ways to send
boys off to join our Armed Forces.
Each city, town, or community in
its own way must find the one that
is in keeping with its traditions
and it's manner of making events
significant. 1t cannot afford to ne
glect or forget.
The boys who go leave their
homes, their jobs, and their loved
ones to protect you and me-. Sell
fishness, if no other reason, should
prompt us to try to make them the
best soldiers or marines possible.
We would like them to remember
us as worth serving for, training
for, and fighting for. 1t is not good
for us to forget the kind of service
they give. 1t is not good for them
or for us if they have doubts that
we, all of us, are worth fighting
for.
The Armed Forces will train
them how to fight but we. the citi-
zens, in each of these communities
of America must by our actions
convince those who go to carry the
arms why they fight. They deserve
and should have as they leave for
service evidence that their home
community knows of their going
and will not forget them during
their absence.

Business Slump Continues
Federal Reserve Bank States

Variety continued to feature the
overall business picture in the
Third Federal Reserve District in
January. Some indexes did not
change during the month while
others showed increases or de-
creases.
At the present time, the defense
program is apparently unable to
create enough work to take up tho
slack caused by the soft goods
slump. In Pennsylvania plants max
ing hard goods, production was
greater than last year, but the gain
was not large enough to Offset the
substantial decline in output by
soft goods firms. Factory employ
ment, which was slightly below a
year ago, also reflected the increas-
ed activity in durables and in the
showdown of nOndurables.
Department store sales, adjusted
for seasCnality, rose during the
month but were considerably under
the high level of January 1861. All
major departments failed to equal
last years extraordinary business,
with piece goods and household
textiles, and hOmefurnishings max
ing the poorest showings. Prelim-
mary figures for February indicate
that sales again are not matching
the pace Of year ago.
Construction awards were below
those of the previous month as we'll
as the preceding year Although
public works and utilities awards
increased in January, they were
more than Offset by declines in both
residential and nOnresidential con-
tracts.
Total loans of reporting member
banks Of the Third Federal Reserve
District declined in the four weeks
ended February 20, primarily be-
cause of a decrease of loans to
banks. Business loans were up
somewhat as metal, and oil and
chemical manufacturers increased
their borrowing. Investment port
foliOs Of reporting banks rose
slightly, principally reflecting pur-
chases of Government securities.

AS Co|onia|s Defeat
Virginia Tech, so
By George Huber
Stor Stoff Correspondent

BLACKSBURG. Va, Oct. 18.-
George Washington scored a
touchdown early in the first quar-
ter against Virginia Tech this
afternoon and made it stand up
the rest of the way for a 60
victory.
Playing before a VPI homecom-
ing crowd of 1850, the Colonials
put on 55-yard scoring march
the second time they had the ball.
After that they moved across mid
field only once, and that drive
went only to the Gobbler IS in the
third period.
The Colonials' defensive platoon
really won the game. It constantly
was called on to put back Virginia
Tech threats. The Colonial de-
tenders stopped Gobbler drives on
the Z and 11-yard lines in the
second period. and in the closing
seconds of the game they braced
to take over on their own 6.
Remain Tied With Duke.
Today's victory was George
Washington's third in four 1852
games. one more than it earned
all last season, and was the third
against Southern Conference COM
petition. 1t kept the Colonials tied
for first place in the league with
Duke, which routed North Caro-
lima State this afternoon.
1t also was GW's fifth straight
win over VPI, and for the sixth
straight year it was a Homecom-
ing Day Defeat for Tech.
