This simple truth, phrased by George to- Washington, shines forth more brightly day to guide the United States than it did when he uttered it 137 years ago. History emphasizes and reinforces his wisdom. If American civilization is to endure, we must he ready to defend it. If peace is to he assured, the United States must remain strong. Huge, standing armies, however, are foreign to our tradition. How then, can we remain strong? One of the surest, most economical ways to accomplish this is through a vigorous Guard, the local volunteer, civilian-soldiorganization. Its new authorized strength is 682,000 men, more than double the prewar force. That means 082,000 worthwhile spare-tim- e jobs for the young men of the nation. This is the American way, for always in American history it has been the civilian army which has borne the brunt of detending our ideals. This is the democratic way, for what can he more democratic than citizens volunteering a part of their spare-tim- e that they may be trained to defend their homes, their state, their nation ? The new National Guard is vital to all of us as a force to be trained, equipped and ever ready for instant mobilization to supplement the Regular Army in time of threat. It commends itseif for many other reasons. Here at home, the individual may train while pursuing his regular occupation and living a normal hie. He draws a lull day s Regular Aimy pay for two hours of sparetime training a week and for 15 days ot tield training. He may learn new skills, or improve old ones, and acquire valuable experience in organization and leadership. An active National Guard unit is a community asset. It is a spai k to real community service. It is citizenship at work. The community and local merchants benetit too, from lederal funds. A battery of field artillery, such as we have here in Brignam City, receives over $16()l)U annually. The National Guard is a state and federal organization. It t unctions at the call of the governor as a protector of life and property, or at the call of the president in national emergencies. It has an outstanding record of Eervice in times of fiood or other disasters, as well as in defense of the nation, but of all its functions the most important is: Your National Guard helps guard the peace.

If it indicates a greatly increased interest in our schools and their administration and it surely does then it is a very healthy sign. In naming John W. Phillips as their representative on the board of education for the next five years, the people of Brigham City have chos'en a good man for the job, a man who is very well .acquainted with Box Elder county, the school district and its problems, and has rendered much public service in the m past for their betterment. We are sure that John Phillips will enter on duty as a school hoard member with the full support of every citizen of the Jlrigham Say...

PHILADELPHIA (UP) Hollywood's loss of foreign markets may cause an increase in movie admission prices throughout the country, according to Lynn Far-noadvertising and publicity director of Samuel Goldwyn Productions. Speaking before the Poor Richard club here, Farnal described Englands 75 percent tax on imported films as a major blow to Hollywood productions. He said 80 percent of the film industrys overseas profits has been wiped out. Farnol said the price rise was necessary if American screen entertainment was to maintain its present level. , I Shows FINE MEN'S SUITS The man whos worn them swears theres no better suit, at any price, than the famed Kuppenheimer.

A public office holder appreciates having the people who placed turn in office chose him to serve them note and agree with what he is doing. He can even put up with their keeping an eye on him and disagreeing, sharply but constructively, from time to time. But the thing that breaks a public ser-ants heart, the thing that makes him doubt that its all worth while, the thing that makes it almost unsurmountably difficult to do his best in the job before him, is to have the public deliberately remain completely uninformed regarding his actions in office. Its tough when the people dont know a thing about what youre doing . . . and whats more, dont care a hang.
