THE DEFENDER 3, rf THE WHITE HOUSE wAsHuNoToN The young men of America have always shown patriotic devotion to their country in time of stress. They have an opportunity today of preparation for service in time of peace. The Government has established the Citizens' Militany Training Camps, which are essentially schools in citizenship. They are conducted by the War Department, which alone has personnel sufficient to give the various types of train- ing offered ln them. They are administered by selected officers of the Regular Army, the National Guard and the Reserve Corps, under a discipline well adapted to a plan of voluntary civilian training. These camps are an essential in the plan of national security. They promote obedi- ence to law and respect for the institutions of a well-ordered society. Young men are helped to physical health, mental vigor and moral excellence. Social understanding and democratic feeling are developedg love and reverence for the flag are the natural outcome of the train- ing. Courtesy in act, sympathy in feeling, tolerance in thought, are the ideals. Recognizing the great good which comes to Government and to people from the Citizens' Military Training Camps, I hope that each year an increasing number of young men may take ad- vantage of the opportunity which is afforded them. ,Pics in e,v7 5 5,0141 Dlf D- J '7 may Page Sf C9 0 . - . .v.V.v.v.I E M T C V.v.v.1.vV-1 1 - . . . -11.7-Y.WV.V.v.v
