YOU WILL GET THE HIGHEST GASH PRICE from ROGUE ROVER CHEVROLET 9th and Bartlott Phone 2288 A Message from President Truman It is of the utmost importance that the Ameri can people understand the status and signifi cance of our new Regular Army. It will be the duty of this volunteer Army to help pro tect the freedoms and maintain the peace we have won at so great a cost. Atomic power has increased rather than decreased the necessity for our preparation, both in manpower and material. In the coming atomic age, the United States must maintain its military strength to. insure our national security and to promote world order. Such grave responsibilities obviously can ' not be met by anything less than the high est caliber of men. For this reason, I asked Congress for legislation to increase the op portunities of the soldier in the Regular Army. This legislation has been passed and signed by me, and is now in effect In serving his country, a man can now get good pay, education, travel and security with family allowances for his dependents and a new 20-year retirement plan that com pare with or excels anything in American industry. These, and the many other advan tages of the new Regular Army, should be made known to all our service men and their families. The Anny has embarked upon a world wide campaign to enlist enough men so that, in demobilizing, we shall not strip our services below the peacetime need. It is imperative that public support be given to this program. We must replace as soon as possible men who have served long and arduously, and who wish to return to civil life. We must also build an Army of volun teers adequate to all our requirements at home and abroad until the long-range peace terms and military policies are worked out. I hope that every individual and group will give earnest and enthusiastic co-operation to this great cflort to rebuild our Regu lar Army. The success of this campaign is vital to the performance of our tremendous . st-tuiuig me peace. PRESIDENT Congress authorizes most attractive Enlistment Opportunities in our History 1.
