Show THE BEAVER PRESS, FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 1945 "THE MARCH OF DEATH" By VERA WILKINSON EOS nATCSCOATlDS C. 8. WILKINSON, Echoing down through the coming ages, Recorded for ever on history's pages, The infamy of Japan, inscribed in gore, Inflicted on Corregidor: Bravely held by dauntless courage That shot and shell could scarce discourage; Held 'till all their shots expended Their saga of courage finally ended. Brave men dying for want of supplies A wounded nation could not devise: The brave commander at last gave way With unselfish purpose abandoned the fray. Thus was invoked on heads of undying fame Wrath of insane foes who sought to maim, Rend and torture helpless, wounded men Who had long endured, again and again, foe had hurled. All that the slant-eye- d But the conquerers sought to show the world What dreadful fate awaited, those Who dared the wrath of such "mighty" foes. Proved only such venom their souls exuded That even the natives were not deluded. Lining them up, with each man unarmed. Yet believing stilj they'd be unharmed. Each man stood silent in tense array In those brave minds what thoughts held sway? Unused to swaggering conquerer's heel What harrowing thoughts did these men feel? Were they abandoned, expended, done? Would loved ones sorrow? Was hope all gone? Abased that this, earth's mightiest nation. Could not amply protect our civilization! Such thoughts were gall to valiant souls, Rut little they guessed the enemy's tolls! To be exacted from helpless captive slaves Fated to fill countless unknown graves. So they stood waiting in calm precision The slimy victors' devlish decision. Manila--Bata- AND THE N. E. A. Editor and Publisher The Story of Copper in Utah GRAY an s 4.

Joy that a too strenuous task, due to help conditions and the relentless hand of time, is about over, with its excessive hours and responsibilities; sadness that we have found it necessary to abandon our little niche in the journalistic field, which we really enjoy; sadness, also, at parting with the many friends we have met and learned to love and respect in Beaver City and Beaver County, and from whom we must now presently take our leave. There are no finer people anywhere on earth than are to be found right here in Beaver. We have sincerely appreciated your confidence, support and words of commendation for our efforts to publish a reliable and progressive small newspaper. It has been a pleasure to serve you to the best of our ability and strength; but this is the day of youth and virility, of change and momentous decis-sion- s and undertakings, and of speed and In A. G. Merkley, the new purchaser of The Beaver Press, and its physical properties, will be found all the qualifications for filling these requirements. He is a young man, with a nice little family; a fully qualified disciple of the Art Preservative; a young man of high character and ideals, who will be a real asset to the community and county, and an important factor in forwarding the interests and destiny of this section of Utah. Editor Meikley will take possession as of June second, and will henceforth guide the destiny of The Pi ess and fulfill the needs of the community in the printing field much better than the present management has been able to do. Many of the business men of Beaver have already met and talked with Mr. Merkley, and are most favorably impressed by him. We are sure that their confidence and expectations will be fully confirmed by their future associations. We bespeak for him a hearty welcome into this thriving and promising community. However, the writer will remain here for another week, settling up our business and "pinch-hitting- " for Mr. Merkley, who will be same for himself in Salt Lake City. the doing For the past three years he has been an employee of the Deseret News. As to the future plans of the retiring "force" we have made none as yet, beyond the resolve to take a few weeks rest, catch up on some of our sleep that we have lost, and rejoin our children and other relatives in the northern part of the state. Our residence will again be in Salt Lake City, at least for the present. In leaving Beaver and The Press, we have-buone regret: that we did not come here at 40, 50, or even 60 years of age. Seventy was just a little too many years for the strenuous task of producing even a small newspaper and handling the commercial printing, with practically no trained help. We can still work 8 hours a day and enjoy it. But 16 hours are more than we are capable of now. Pleasant memories and our very best wishwill es always remain with the good people of this locality. We thank you. r r i ii . Wilkinson. Mr. and iirs. t c It is difficult to make a man miserable while he feels that he is worthy of himself and claims kindred to the great God who made him. Abraham Lincoln. For the most part the Seventh War Loan drive is going fairly well in Beaver county, with Xorthcreek already "over the top" with their quota and Greenville, as usual, a close second. Milford is also understood to be well along the road to the top. Some of the other districts, including Beaver, are lagging quite a piece behind. However, this is nothing to be alarmed about as Beaver has lagged in the early stages of all the bond drives, but has not yet failed to come across with better than her quota, and we feel sure that the present drive will be no different to the previous ones, notwithstanding there is a much higher proportion of th.c quota to be subscribed by individual purchasers this time than in any previous drive.

God-mad- 1 e, Then the weaker were murdered and left. Buried by buddies in some shallow cleft. At last they came to their prison walls; Huddled like cattle in filthy stalls. This was to be the hero's shrine That deserved Valhalla's richest wine! No braver men had yet been born Than these held martyr, heaped with scorn By spawn of the supercilious "rising sun," Whose deeds eclipsed the gory hun! Though many perished tortured beat A few have heard McArthur's feet. As he held again Luzon's brave shore, Making good the promise he made before He had to leave his men to seek The help he needed, for we were weak: Almost fatal the treacherous blow Dealt by a slithering sneaking foe. But vengeance foresworn has come at last! Their "rising sun" is sinking fast; And MeArthur faces again the foe No mercy our generals shall ever show! But kill 'till the last Banzai shall ring From the throats of the cursed yellow thing That dealt the death to our heroes bright. God giant they rest in pride tonight. Serene at last in the sleep of the gloriou Having given their all, repose victorious. And though we cannot give them breath Avenged shall be their "March of Death!"

Mary Baker Eddy. d How often we look upon God as our last and feeble resource! We go to Him because we have nowhere else' to go. And then we learn that the storms of life have, driven us, not upon the rocks, but into the desired haven. George Macdonald. Who said the war was over in Europe? From all that we can learn from the radio and the newspapers, it is going along quite briskly in some places. Looks like the old game of power politics, played for stakes of property, territory, and political influence will bring about the same results as always. Why not try the "golden rule" and a little more justice? Maybe we could really find the peace we seek in these channels. Anyhow it is worth a trial. Maybe Jesus knew what he was talking .about, after all. Who knows, for his precepts have never been given a fair trial.
