A salute to America's newspaper boys
from a former member of their ranks Major General John B. Medaris, Commanding General, U. S. Army Ordnance Missile Command
"You're a mighty important young man. First,
because you keep us supplied with one of the most
vital needs of our day: news of the world. We know
we can depend on you for that. Second, because
you are one of America's future leaders. And we
already have evidence of your ability to "sell
America" in the way you and your fellow carriers
have helped sell Savings Stamps and Bonds ever
since 1941. Today thousands of earners are in
vesting part of their weekly earnings in Stamps
and Bonds saving for the future.
This is more important today than ever. Every
U.S. Savings Bond or Stamp sold helps strength
en America's Peace Power, by providing money to
keep our country strong, to advance science and
education, and to keep our economy healthy.
So in honor of Newspaperlxy Day, 19.58, I
salute you. You and your circulation managers
are doing a great job. Keep up the good work!"
