Keep Well With Chiropractic
NATURE ONLY CAN CURE
It must be remembered that all remedies necessary to
health exist in the human body. The excellent results
obtained by the chiropractor is the logical result of the
chiropractic method of freeing the innate healing forces
of the body and working in harmony with Nature’s laws.

BLUE BUBBLES
By MISS IVA SANDERS
BLUE, May 4—Cpl. Oran
you are as pleasant and thoughtful
to all visitors as you have been to
me, well all I can say is, I am of
the opinion you .will have LOTS and
LOTS of visitors from Camp Swift.
The U. S. has the best Officers, and
Soldiers in the World, help us to
keep them that way.

trained to the highest point of effi-
ciency in the use of our weapons of
warfare. We must learn obedience
and loyalty, even unto death, to
the Great Captain of our Salvation.
I wish it were in my power to
write the words that would have such
a dynamic appeal to each of you,
that you would and could do more
for our YOUNG MEN, they need
us now as never before. Our res-
ponsibility in this matter of carry-
ing on the work with our SOLDIERS
is a solemn one.
In I Samuel 10:26. “And then
went with him a band of men, whose
hearts God had touched.” It was
not a mob nor was it a crowd but it
was a band. This implies unity, sol-
idarity, organization. The empha-
sis was not laid upon the number
that went with him, but the com-
pactness and unity of the groupe
that went. The strength of an army
or of a group of any kind does not
lie so much in the multitude as is
the solidarity of it. This -fact was
made clear in the other World War,
but What I am trying to say is this,
we need a band of people in this
regardless of what shape they
are in. I will pay you a
reasonable price for them or
I will fix them up and try to
sell them for what you think
they are worth.

NEW AVIATION
CADET PLAN
INAGURATED
A new plan has been inaugurated
in the procurement and enlistment
of Aviation Cadets, according to an
announcement made today by Sgt.
Ernest B. Long, recruiting officer in
Austin.
The set-up under the new plan
calls for an Air Force Enlistment
Reserve and provides three routes to
the applicant as follows: 1) Any
applicant who qualifies for Aviation
Cadet training may be enlisted in
the Air Force Reserve and return to
his job and wait until such time as
the quotas received at the San An-
tonio district recruiting office will
permit his being called to active
duty and appointed an Aviation Ca-
det. While waiting for his call to
duty he will not receive any pay
from the Army; 2), Men who do not
desire to enlist in the Air Force Re-
serve and remain at home while
awaiting a call to active service may
be examined by an Aviation Cadet
Examining Board and, if qualified,
be earmarked for Aviation Cadet
appointment and enlisted immediat-
ely as privates in the Army Air
Corps to serve until such time as
the quotas will allow his transfer
and appointment as a cadet; and 3)
A senior, junior, sophomore, or
freshman in any recognized college,
in which he is taking a regular cour-
se, may qualify for Aviation Cadet
training and be deferred until the
completion of the number of schol-
astic years required for finishing
his regular course in that college.
Those placed on deferment will not
be called into active service before
their deferment period is up, un-
less, in case of dire necessity, when-
ever directed by the Secretary of
War.
There is no change in the proced-
ure of application, examination,
transfer, and appointment of enlist-
ed men, except that qualified en-
listed men transferred from other
arms or service, or from Air Corps
organizations, to the Air Corps, un-
assigned, will be transferred with-
out loss of grade pending appoint-
ment as Aviation Cadets. Neither
is there a change in the procedure
of qualifying Aviation Cadets from
civilian life.

inviting these fine Officers and men

I EME and MIXING
Moral Stamina Of First Importance
States Camp Pastor.
The whole world has become mili-
tary-minded during the past few
months. “Wherefore Paul says,
“take unto you the whole armour of
God, that you may be able to with-
stand in the evil days, and having
done all, to stand.” Epr. 6-12:13.
We are greatly concerned, and
rightly so, about our national defen-
se. The flower of American youth
is being called to the colors. Our
Government is spending billions of
dollars in building up a great army
and navy, adequate to protect us on
all fronts, it is hoped.
But it is well for us to realize that
our first line of defense does not
consist of armored tanks, airplanes,
submarines and other death-dealing
instruments of war on land or sea,
and in the air, as important as these
are, but rather of the moral and
spiritual strength of our manhood
and womanhood. For if our moral
stamina breaks down, we are hope-
lessly defeated before the enemy
reaches our shores. Hence our pri-
mary business in preparing for any
eventuality in the future is to safe-
guard and strengthen the moral pur-
pose and spiritual lives of our young
people. That is as plain as daylight.
Millions of our men are in train-
ing camps, many in actual war. It
behooves us, therefore, to multiply
and intensify our efforts to win
them to Christ, if they are not al-
ready Christians, and to strengthen
them in their faith and purose to
do the will of God? This is the
day. of unparalled opportunity as
well as the day of inescapable res-
ponsibility for our churches. What
