Col. Stilwell Tells Rotary Militarj
Training is Vital
Lt. Col. H. \V. Stilwell, com-
manding officer of the 5th Battal-
ion, recently addressed the Rotary
club in Texarkana on the much
■discussed subject of Compulsory
military Training in Peace Time.
The Colonel, a very forceful speak-
er and a logical thinker, declared:
"Future wars are inevitable and the
only way for America to be pre-
-pared is through compulsory mili-
tary training in peacetime.'*
"Universal military training ifi
the only democratic way to protect
America," Stilwell continued, "and
it is the only way to prevent Am-
erica from becoming militaristic.
"To regard Germany as militar-
istic because she had a well-traine 1
standing army is a serious mis-
take," he said. He defined a mili-
taristic nation as one which has a
ruling military caste, such as the
Prussians, which has a large stand-

ing army, and which believes the
right way to settle national affairs
is through military means.
Impossible to Develop
Universal military training will
make it impossible for such a caste
to develop in America, according to
Stilwell, because the men who re-
ceive the training will come from
the people, will understand the
people and will also understand
the military. They will not blindly
follow militaristic thiiikers because
they are considered heroes, but will
know when they are right, and
wjll know when they themselves
shall cooperate and when they shall
oppose.
For the same reasons, universal
milittary training will be the most
democratic way to protect Ameri-
ca, Stilwell said.- It would be pos-
sible fov any man with the ambi-
tion and the capacities to attend
officer candidate school. Such a
man would be in touch with his
people, would be one of them, and
would understand them as they
understand him.
Sot Realistic
To think that peace treaties may
be set up that will make the world
free from wars is out oi ouch
with the realism of the ti .ies, the
speaker said.
Explaining that he wa Lying
to show the need for compuiso y
training and not to suggest met..-
cds of training, he said, "There a
ways have been ag;..essjr nations.
If it is not Germany the n .;t tim ,
it will be another country.
"I am not suggesting ihut v. ?
suspect any nation now, but u
might be well to ask 'Is the ai
perfectly clear with the lJrUisb •
Are there any sign of sto:.as with
Russia ? May not China be t!" <
next aggressor?"
A plea for compulsory military
ti aiming is a plea for the iivt.-s t
boys who will have to fight in U -
next war, Stilwell said.
Opponents of the proposal lay
that military training is dan^c. -
ous. Stilwell concluded, but so

unskilled management, and mo.'-
anger will result from less preps-
ration.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN?
Darkness would lay its inky finger on your home. Food would spoil.
A flick of a switch wouldn't toast your bread, or cool your living room,
or perk your coffee. You'd have to sweep by broom, wash by hand,
wear unironed clothes.
Your house would be a little isolated world of its own, with no tele-
phone, no radio, no newspapers to link you with humanity. Time would
stop with the frozen hands of your electric clock.
You'd have no job, since almost all industry—from the cash register
to the welder's arc—draws its vitality from the little blue spark of elec-
tricity. War production would stop in its tracks.
Eut electricity never takes a vacation. 60 seconds to the minute, 60
minutes to the hour, day and night, summer ar.d winter, electric service
stands eagerly awaiting the flick of a switch.
And this dependability is no accident. It is the result of hard work
ar.d careful planning b> folks who know their business—your friends
and neighbors in this company.

SAYS SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE:
Saving Must Go On!
Every woman in America should know that our country
continues to face a serious fat shortage. And victory
over Japan won't solve the problem immediately. We
must keep on saving used fats in our kitchens!
If you have any thought that
saving used fats is one of those
wartime chores we can drop, now
that Victory is here, please con-
sider these facts and tell them to
your neighbors.
%
America still needs salvaged
fats. Not even at the peak of our
war effort, when fats were re-
quired for mountains of shells and
bombs and medicines, in addition
to the ever-present need for soap,
were our needs for salvaging fat
greater than now. Our stocks have
been drained by four long years
of war, and there isn't enough on
hand to meet all requirements.
Don't let "Victory psychol-
ogy" blind you to this national
need! If housewives stop saving fats
now, the shortage will becqme even
more critical.
Don't let a single drop of
used fats go to waste! Little trim-
mings of fat left on the platter at the
table, scraps left on plates, and even
the skimmings of soups and gravies are
important. It is the consistent saving
of even these small amounts that counts.
Don t turn in fats that can
be re-used! But some fats, such as
those rendered from lamb and mutton,
are not suitable for re-use. Put them
immediately in the salvage can. And,
with other fats, after you've got all
cooking good out of them, there is
always a little left. No matter how
little it is, save it.
Your butcher will still give you 4^
and 2 red points for every pound you
turn i , Save consistently—save every
drop y„u can every day-un.H
Uncle Sam says the job is done.
