They deserve our support. Although few local residents bother to notice, the group of players, together with their directors, art and technical staffs have been busy for weeks re hearsing in the hot sun day after day, making cos tumes, readying their stage and doing the thousand- and-one jobs preliminary to the actual presentations. They are to be admired for their enthusiasm, their ambition and their progrp.ss despite many handicaps.

With talk of compulsory military training on every hand, again come suggestions that the several hundred thousand youths enrolled in the Civilian Conservation corps be conscripted into military life. With able-bodied young men already gathered to gether in camps, the temptation to pass the responsi bility of manning defense needs to them is consider able, especially to those who would rather ‘‘let George do it” when it comes to serving a hitch for their country. Should a call for volunteer enlistments be made, doubtless enrollees in the CCC would be among the first and most willing to answer. Citizens all, they would rush to the colors with typical American spirit. However, every 3-C enrollee is a free-born Ameri can who has not forfeited any of his rights of citizen ship by service with the conservation corps. To propose compulsory military service for the CCC is to insult the youths’ patriotism. Such proposals are made by persons who want America to be amply de fended, but who would rather their name never be called. If the rest of us are as willing and ready to do our part for the country as are Civilian Conservation corps enrollees, then America’s defense forces never will be undermanned. 5 ★ ★ ★ OREGON’S DO-NOTHING McNARY IS WELL QUALIFIED FOR V-P LOAF!
