BAGS
Field House is ready for use. A generalized program for
that use by the entire personnel of Camp Adair has been
outlined and is in operation. And there isn’t a reason between
here and Portland why every man in camp can’t make that
splendid, super-gym” at the corner of Avenue F and South
F irst street the kind of an athletic home-away-from-home
he’s always dreamed about.
The reasons.’ They are multiple and in the following
general way about as-outlined for The Sentry yesterday by
Capt. Frank C. Wimer, athletic officer of Camp Adair.

I Want To Get Fighting Mad

Dcn.’t get me wroi.g—I'm just an ordinary guy. I'm not trying
to pose as an expert >>n the moulding of.public opinion. I’m not
talking big about what I'd do if it was my job to whip up the
country on the war effort.
I’m talking as an average citizen. I’m saying, not what I’d
like to tell them, but what I’d like to be told. Soon.
Because I’m concerned, and I’ve been concerned, about my
reaction to all that’s been happening. Siwe, I'm buying bonds.
I’m payihg taxes. I’m doing with less sugar.
But deep down inside, down where it really matters, some
thing hasn't taken place yet that I feel ought to take place. I’m
all a w^ter of confusion there. Il keeps me scratching my head
and mopping my brow when I know I ought to be clinching my
fists.
You understand? It’s like this:
I want to be told—not to buy Defense Stamps or Defense
Bonds. I want to be told to buy Victory Stamps or War Bonds.
I want to be told — not about the construction of( houses
in Defense Areas. I want to be told about the construction
houses in Wai- Production Areas.
I want to be told—not to remember Pearl Harbor. I want
be told to take Tokio, to bomb Berlin, to razo Rome.
J want to be told—not to do my part to keep Naziism
Fascism from these shores. I want to bo told to do my part
spread Americanism to all shores.
I want to be told—not to help keep our world and our way
of life from being lost. I want to be told to help build a new
world and a better way of life.
I want a positive program instead of a passive one. I want
something to fight for—I'm sick and tired of having only some
thing to fight against. I’m hungry for something to get pepped
up about — I’m repelled from having only something to fear. I
waht something to do—not just to wait for. It hasn’t been so
long since the last war that I forgot what happened then. I re
member the parades and the speeches and 4he ringing slogans.
Then we fought to make the world aaftffor democracy. We
bought Liberty Bonds. We sang that the Yswiks were coming.
We set out to avenge Belgium—not juet to remember it.
We made a vow that we’d reach Berlin or -bust. We toyed with
plans to hang the Kaiser. We warned the Him to “keep your head
down, Fritzieboy!” We girded ourselves lor a Crusade—we
didn’t close the doors for a siege.
•£> i T
We hated the Kaiser—we didn't laurh'.at him. We printed
his loathesome physiognomy on toilet pnprtr—to make the most
ignominius use of it. We likened his uptorne<|| handle-bars to
the devil'« horns—not to anything so hasmlass and pathetic as
the famous hirsute prop Charlie Chaplin rilhsters on his uppei-
lip. We saw nothing to be amused about in his vain and pompous
posturings—as we do today in Musso)ini’s/'puffy strutting We
didn't pin our hopes on the defective eyeSigtit of the enemy.
We planted war gardens. We poured money into war chests.
We had gasless undays and yelled "Slacker!” at anyone who
dared to venture out in his Winton or Hupmobile or Stems
Knight. We churned one pound of butter into two pounds and did
it with a« much will as if-we were turning out ammunition.
We took the offensive psychologically long before we took
it physically. And if we hadn’t takm it psychologically, we'd
never have developed the drive to take it physically. And don't
tell me we cant do the «ame now.
I want to 13ng that today we control our own deatiny, to-
morrow the destiny of the whole world. I want to sail airain.t
Germany, against Italy, against Japan. If they can ■ail »gainst
us and our allies, why can't we sail against them?
I want to construct a greater America co-prosperity sphere
I want to correct the mistakes of the V<r«nilJes treaty insofai
as they allowed all this to happen. I want to win lehen-raum for
the democratic way of life.
I’m fed up with «inging plaintive «ongs I want to sing
battle songs. Don't tell me there'll be bluebird« over the white
cliffs of Dover. To hell with blu< bird« Tell me there’ll be vultures
and a deathly silence ever Berchtesgaden.
I'm bored with keeping a stiff upper
want to develop a
stiff uppercut. I’m tired <>f be ing made to feel sad. I want the
experience - the purging, mar1-baling, driving experience—of be
ing made to feel mad. Fighting mad!
You get me!
