The meeting was presided over by ester Thimga'n, vice-president of the Chamber, in the absence of L. . Caldwell. Mr. Thimgan presented W. F, vers, superintendent of the Nebras ka Masonic Home, who in turn pre- ented Raymond C. Cook, resident member of the board of directors of the Home. Mr. Cook then introduced Mr. Martin, who is one of the busi ness leaders of Omaha, president of the Nebraska Savings & Loan assoc iation. Mr. Martin in his opening paid a tribute to the late W. A. Robert son, whom he succeeded as the presi lent of the Home, telling of the fine work Mr. Robertsosn had carried out in the conduct of the Home affairs The short and informal address of Mr. Martin was on "Civic Responsi bility." He pointed to the need of civic bodies, now more so than at other times, in taking definite leadership lhile the younger men of the nation were away fighting for American ideals, that the nation might remain as it had through its history. He also stressed the necessity of a religious atmosphere in the civic affairs. Mr. Martin found two former ac quaintance in the audience, Fred I.

Baylor family will be interested in learning that their son, David Bay lor, is announcer and program di rector of radio station WGAR at Cleveland, Ohio, being one of the veterans of the station. Mr. Baylor has just recently re turned from Europe where he spent five months overseas, where he in terviewed troops in England, France and Belgium. He has given a most interesting resume of his interviews and observations among the battl ing men of America. To my way of thinking, there are three general things which make up an army. The enlisted man, who is the bulk of it, the men who lead it and the weapons it uses. Let's call them the three G.'s. The Gun, the General and the G. I. There are, of course, various subheadings under those three items, but in a very gen- Leral sense, they compose any army. How good an army it is is determin ed by the excellence of those three G.'s and the manner in which they fit together into an integrated body. Let's take up the third of our three G.'s. The G. I. He's the guy who's winning the war, and don't ever let anybody tell you any dif ferent. He's the extreme end of the whom all the grand strategy is production line. He's the lad for planned. All the production, all the generalship, all the modern weap ons aren't worth a nickel unless the G. I. knows how to use them and use them well. The war is Jjuilt around the G. I. and hi.; ability as a fighting man. How well he's doing his part in the whole warlike scheme of things is borne out by Patton's race across southern France, by Gen. Hodges' sensational push right up to the front doors of Germany itself. The G. I. did that. The kid in the tank turret, at the butt end of the rifle, on the trigger of the bazooka, be hind the breech of the artillery piece.! lie s been trained like a race horse. He knows his weapons and how to use them. He's the most in genious soldier in the world. When he gets in a tight fix he can throw away the book and improvise as he goes along. He's been taught to be Quick Results from Journal Want Ad The followinj fetter is only one example of the results obtained by users of our Want Ad column. :. Omaha, Nebr. January 11, 1945 The Plattsmouth Journal Plattsmouth, Nebr. Dear Sirs: I recovered most of iny decoys which I advertised for in your paper December 29th. A sportsman, M-Sgt. Edward Ber lctte wrote me January 2nd that he had found them. Thanks for your co-operation and more success for your paper. I remain, Yours Truly, John E. Pailen 4324 Pierce Street, Omaha, Nebraska self-sufficient. Although he doesn't say much, he knows what he's fight ing for. He's a very tough guy and a cold, calculating fighter, but he loves children, dogs and . . .home. Cleveland has it's share of typical G. I's who have helped to make war a very satisfactory undertaking for the German armies in the west. Lads like Corp. Frank C. Licinski, whose home is at 6302 Fleet avenue. Frank is a medic with an air-borne divi sion. He likes parachute jumping and has made at least two, and now possibly three, combat jumps with his outfit, for he has recently been reported as wounded in action in Holland. He had the experience of seeing his best friend shot through the back of the head and die in his arms. But he got a Bronze Star for carrying eight wounded German soldiers through German gunfire to a nearby dressing station, using a wheelbarrow as a conveyance. He's a kid of slight build, deeply religious, and with a smiling personality that makes you like him the moment you say "Hello." Then there's Bob Augustus, a ser geant who was a waist gunner in a B-21. He was shot down over France on the 12th of April this year. He walked calmly into a corps headquar ters one afternoon where I happen- to be and announced that he was an American flyer and wondered where he should go, now that the Ameri cans had ocupiecd the area in which he was hiding. Bob has since come home to his parents at 11024 Cedar road. And there's Sgt. Joseph Medved of 1133 E. 7t8h street, who came in on D-Day with the 112th Engineers. He wasn't a medic and had other things to do during those hectic hours of June G, but he found time to carry wounded on his back to dress ing stations, thereby saving the lives of more than one American boy. My favorite story isn't about a Clevelander, but a West Virginia boy named Jack Simmonds. He was a Clevelander by adoption, for he was a part of the 112th Engineers. Sim monds was a "cat skinner," Army slang for a bulldozer driver. When he hit the beach on D-Day he did so wearing a piece of non-issue gear, at least for ground soldiers. It was a flak suit, worn only by Air Force personnel. The rest of the guys laughed at him, but his ingen uity saved his own life and kept his valuable bulldozer operating. For when the smoke cleared away he counted 14 dents in his flak suit. COURT HOUSE VISITORS Among the visitors at the county court today were Attorney W. L. Dwyer of Weeping Water and Mr. and Mrs. Ezra Albin of near Union and Mrs. Ora Albin of Murray.
