ADVERTISING MALES GET MAIL
! IN BALES
i
With 1st Cav. Div*, Korea (AFPS), . . j
Eleven mail-less males here' have j
found that it really pays to advertise, j
' ; Because they werenft getting enough!
! letters, one soldier in the group adver-j
| tised in a national magazine, inviting}
| girls to drop-the men a line. . j
The results: 6,500 letters thus farj
from all over the world. j
Because the eleven men couldnt answer j
S them all, the letters have been distri- j
buted throughout the division and now j
the line at mail call is endless.
So-called Extra pay...
:
During World War II, .a company in OH— j
10 found absenteeism of employees a rea-j
ly serious problem, when it was trying j
to produce vitally needed war materialse I
So company officials began to slip a li- I
ttl.e note into the pay envelope of. men ;
who had missed time unnecessarily, or j
without good reason. The note read: j
"The extra money enclosed, is your reward j
for failing to report to work. It comes f
from a country that is glad to pay you j
not to make supplies for our military i
personnel." With the note the officials I
enclosed the so-called extra pay-so muchJfc
m Nazi money,
Even when no battle is raging, we all j
have a serious job to do in defense of j
America and of freedom everywhere. Eve- j
"ry man is vitally important. Doing our j
assigned work may not get us a ribbon or j
a battle star,but it will get us the re- i
ward of knowing we are sharing our res- I
ponsibility to a wonderful country. No j
one who has traveled very lar would want j
to hive, up what America has offered him, I
But America is not completely free—-we I
have, to .pay a price. The price for those I
of us in the Navy may not be our lives.* j
but/is. definitely is our time, our conv- j
eriience, our personal independence and, j
in part, our liberty. It’s a cheap price j
to.pay.But who will pay it if we didn’t? j
