Aside from the obvious significance of the occasion, it serves to remind us much to our discomfort that the Cold War has been with us for a long time. And as a reminder that the Cold War goes on we note that the National Guard in some ' States has started to wage war on Communism by conducting its own National Defense Strategy Seminars. Patterned on courses Similar orientation conducted by the National War College in Washington, these Seminars are designed to educate citizens on the specific nature and menace of Communism in a straightforward, unemotional manner. It is not at all surprising that the Guard should be taking Communism as a part of its Special province. Since early or Colonial days, Guardsmen Minutemen as they were once - have been motivated called by a conviction that citizenship demands more than the payment of taxes and obedience to the law. In short, they have believed that a good citizen must put into his country at least as much as he has taken out of it. Reviewing the 15 years of the Cold War, we can see that the National Defense Strategy concept is but one example of this philosophy. In the whole area of military and economic Cold War deterrence the National Guard stands at the forefront. Take, for example, its role in National Defense. On its reor- signed specific missions in our nations war plans but are performing essential, defense roles in peacetime. A less glamorous but no less important aspect of national' defense is our ability to recover quickly and effectively from a nuclear attack. In recognition of this, National Guard leaders have been advocating a recovery mission for their units, pointing out that the Guards geographic dispersion, its strength, its modem equipment, and its variety of 472,-000-m- an units ranging from air transmedical make it to port ganization early in 1946, the Guard was little more than a paper organization. It not only had to recruit most of its mem- ideally suited for such purposes. Lastly, the National Guards contribution to our economic strength cannot be overlooked. While its combat versatility makes it an important part of our defense structure, its annual appropriation of only 1.5 percent of our total military budget makes it, dollar for dollar, one of the wisest investments in the nation today. vIn recognition- - of its invaluable service to State and Nation, w a salute the National Guard the occasion of its annual bers, but also had to rebuild most of the battle-wor- n equipment the Army turned over to it. Adding to this uphill effort was the fact that modern warfare requires the Guard to be closer to battlefield readiness more ready than ever before even than the active services of the 1930s. Today these challenges have been met and the Army and Air National Guard have become so integrated with the active establishment that they not only have been as Credit Union League Celebrates Birthday, Moves to New Home was formerly located in leased facilities at 1339 South Main Street.
