NAVAL HEROES 10’ TELL STORY OF THEIR WOUNDS Veterans and their families. have been invited by Hague-Thomas-Hegarty Post of the American Legion to hear the stories of men wounded in thé battles of Sicily, Tarawa, Midway and Wake. This event will take place of the regular meeting of the post in the Veterans Memorial Building tomorrow evening at 8 o’clock. A group of these men, mostly of the naval service under direction of Lieut. H. C. Barnhill of San Francisco, will tell the stories of their battles and wounds. Among them are Adrian I. Alt. andRonald Kaufman, both wounded in naval action’. HERSHEY SAYS CALLS FOR MEN MUST BE FILLED General Lewis B. Hershey, in a letter appearing in the Selective Service bulletin declares that our nation must mobilize before it can demobilize. General Hershey writes: Selective Service was born whsu . America began to:mobolize, Patriotir citizens joined this system during those earth-shaking days of 1940 to give their efforts to make this. nation able to survive. Selective Service, on state and local levels, has been guided through a series of serious situations by the untiring: efforts of these _ citizens. The establishment of Selective Sertvice during peace time was the first task. Under the circumstances it required good judgment and the maximum of human understanding for its operation on all levels. ‘Pearl Harbor marked the end of this first phase—and the beginning of the second. The nation was in war. It entered war with more men in the armed. forces by far than in any former war. Selective Service had a major part in the accomplisiment of this result, Pearl Harbor changed the tempo of mobilization. The task of: Selective Service increased. The armed: ‘forces demanded ‘millions. war indubtry ‘demanded “ ‘niillions. Agriculture demanded ‘millions. . Sélective Service met the démands of the armed forces by induction, the other demands by deferment. The se Airplanes, tanks, and trucks: rolled off the production lines in numbers almost . unbelievable; ships slid down: the ways; guns, shells, and ‘all “other munitions of war were ‘made in larg‘er and ever larger quantities.

Today the tide of battle is ‘turned. The ‘enemy withdraws slowly.

It is to bring the Army ani ‘the Navy to required strengths at at these strengths so long as the need exists. Our second job is to do the first job without removing from war industries and essential agriculture: men whose loss would prevent them from meeting their objestives even though they utilize to the maximum all other available manpower. The third job of Selective Service is to meet, day by day,
its responsibilities to the returning veteran, and to make ready to do its share in reconstruction after the lose of hositilities—not alone in demobilization, but alsoin necessary measures to help all Americans to . themselves. “The accomplishment of these ob. jeetives requires that we keep first We-must win the war Army and Navy grew by millions, . the required time, and to keep them . ed do Nevada City Nugget Nugget — Monday, March arch 6, 1944 than we demobilize until we reach maximu and food are important, ‘Army and Navy take only those who are between 18 and 38 and fit.
