Just like Charlie says—"If yow
can trust us with guns and ships
and tanks, I guess you can trust
us with a glass of beer once in a
while, if we happen to want one.”
And I know the beer industry
is co-operating with the Army and
the law-enforcement officers to see
that beer is sold in good, clean,
decent places.
From where I sit, this country’s
never seen a finer, cleaner, better-
behaved lot of men than the ones
in uniform today... I’m not worry-
in’ about ’em!

tion, inside and out, will show up
any trouble that may be a-breed-

pensive.

your tires are in condition to keep
you riding!

“But still she won’t start.”
“Looks like your carburetor’s
flooded,” he says. “Got a screw
driver handy?”
That young soldier knew what
he was doin’ all right. Went to
work just like a professional.
“She’ll be O.K. now,” he says,
straightenin’ up and smilin’.

Boy’s face looked sort of famil-
iar. And darned if that soldier
wasn’t young Charlie Jenkins from
Elm Street. Used to be a round-
shouldered kid—one of those jitter
bugs you hear about. Say! You
wouldn’t know him after six
months in the Army. Fifteen
pounds heavier—straight and tan
and real sure of himself. The
Army’s done a lot for Charlie.
Made a man out of him—and I
guess that goes for lots of other
young fellows, too.
