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

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.

MORE SOLDIERS NEEDED? THEN WHY NOT
PASS THE BUCK ON TO THE CCC!
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.

reader from the Tennessee valley who successfully
raided the public treasury—has been drafted by the
republicans to run for something or other this
fall and as his running mate Oregon’s Do-Nothing

McNary, in typical lethargy, already has announced
that he will make no active campaign but will remain
in congress “on the job.” McNary, as most readers in
these parts will remember, is Oregon’s senior senator
