Dr. M. T. Rankin, for many
months an internee in a Japanese
prison camp and twenty-three
years a missionary to the Orient,
will be the Baptist Hour speaker
next Sunday morning, February
25th, and will be heard over an in-
dependent network of thirty-six
stations, reaching from the Na-
tion's Capitol to the states of the
1 far southwest, as announced by S.
F Lowe, director of the radio com-
mittee; fa. B. C.
Mr. Lowe states that since Dr.
Rankin spent seven years as Mis-
sion Secretary for the entire Ori-
ent and since he is now executive
secretary of the Foreign Mission
Board, S. B. C., having been elected
to this position since his repatria-
tion from the Japanese, he is pe-
culiarly qualified to discuss the
subject assigned to him, "Sharing
Christ With the Nations."
The music in the Baptist Hour
programs is by the Baptist Hour

D. Hoffman, with George L. Ham-
rick at the organ. And, according
to Mr. Lowe, makes a substantial
contribution to the programs.
The Baptist Hour may be heard

Houston, WFAA, Dallas, and

o
UNIVERSAL MILITARY
TRAINING
This is probably one of the most
important bills now before Con-
gress, and it behooves every Amer-
ican citizen to thoroughly acquaint
himself or herself with the provi-
sions of this vital bill, one need
only to recall the happenings of
the past 2i years, in which the
United States has been involved in
two major wars. In both instances
we were unprepared to protect our-
selves, and in each case, our Allies
were permitted by the Merciful
Hand of Providence to hold the
enemy at bay until we could get
ready by training our men and pro-
ducing the necessary fighting im-
plements of war.
In an address before the Cisco
Lions club last week, Colonel John
H. Alvis stressed importance of
every person, and every organiza-
tion notifying his representative
and senator to vote for this im-
portant piece of legislation. This
matter has been before the Ameri-
can people one way or another
since the time when George Wash-
ington was president of the United
States. Washington himself advo-
cated a plan for training the youth
of our nation, in which they would
undergo a certain amount of mili-
tary training, which would make
them physically fit and have proper
respect for superior officers, then
return them to civilian life. One J
of the features above the proposed |
law now before the lawmakers of
the nation, is that it will go a long *
way toward correcting a serious
defect, discovered in our young men
during the present crisis.
Along this line, 30 per cent of the
young men called up were physical-
ly unfit for military service. By
the proposed method, this could be
corrected. If an inductee desires
special training, or want to become
a technician, he may do so, but the
point is that they will all be re-
quired to take the military train-
ing, before, after or during their
college work.
Colonel Alvis further emphasized
the fact that 10,000 officers would
be trained each year from the esti-
mated 1,500,000 trainees inducted
annually after their training is
completed he said, they may return
to follow their trades. "A fact that
we might as well face," said the
Colonel, "is that the next time the
United States will be attacked di-
rectly, and it will be up to us to de-
fend ourselves."
This is not to make us an ag-
gressor nation, but on the other
hand, it will get us ready to defend
ourselves from aggressor nations.
This will eliminate the necessity of
having a huge standing army, and
a well trained army of 6,000,000
men will spring into action on short
notice. This is vitally important
and deserves the immediate atten-
tion of the American people.
Company C., 10th Battalion of
Texas State Guards were guests at
Cisco Lions club Wednesday and
with their uniforms and guns they
looked very militaristic.
Former Cisco Lion, L. L. Walker
of Moran was introduced and he
presented Capt. George McCargo
of the Texas State Guard. While
waiting for Lt. J. W. Booth to pre-
sent his squad, the Captain said
that this troop was armed with
1917 rifles and had live ammuni-
tion, Moran is the smallest town
in the State to have a guard and
this one is three years old. Forty-
six men have gone into the service
from this guard, the Captain an-
nounced, being made up of farm-
ers, ranchmen, mechanics, merch- ■
ants and oil field workers.
Following drill and more in-
formation, Lt. Col. Onley H. Bry-
ant, Austin, and Lt. Col. John Alvis,
Abilene, talked along future ideas
/or keeping the peace that America
must sponsor. The U. S. must
train young men each year, they
think, if we are to remain able to
enforce our ideas upon nations who
would cause disturbances in future
years.
If we had had universal training
for youth in 1914, we would not
have been compelled to fight in
1918, it was said, and if we had
trained men in 1939 and 1940, this
struggle could have been settled
much sooner and with much less
cost in lives and money.
Many other points in favor of
military training for youth during
peace times were presented by
these speakers.
Guests present were J. L. War-
ren, Abilene, Lt. Col. John II.
Alvis, Abilene, Lt. Col. Olney H.
Bryant, Austin, Staff Sgt. Elmer
J. Jones, Sgt. R. E. Weber, Sgt.
Oscar Wise, Sgt. Floyd Hamilton,
Sgt. Jim Parrish, Sgt. Carroll
Loudder, Staff Sgt. John Alex-
ander, Lt. J. W. Booth, Lt. Walter
McCollum, Capt. Geo. L. McCargo,
and L. L. Walker, all of Moran and
Capt. Nugent E. Brown, Austin.

Proper heating requires that appliances be vented to a flue. The
appliances illustrated above are types that are vented. For this rea-
son your gas company recommends them, for only with heaters that
are vented to a flue can you enjoy natural gas heat at its best. Only
when appliances are vented are wall sweating and stufly air elimi-
nated. Plan healthful, modern heat—vented heat—for your new
postwar home. Make sure there will be enough flues.
The Mark of a
Properly Heated Home
One of the identifying marks of a com-
fortable home is the flue showing in the
roof. It is necessary to vent modern gas
heaters and only with modern gas heaters
do you enjoy freedom from wall sweating
ond stuffy air.
