JEFFERSUNIAN -1- The C. JW. T. C. and What' it Means to Young Americans The morning ,gun issued its resounding challenge: the bugle called the men from their tents and on rl uesday, August 1, IQ22, the Citizens' hfilitary Training Camp, held in 11922 at hlefferson Barracks, Rio., embarked upon its second year. Approximately 1,000 men from the states of Arkansas and hlissouri had been as- sembled for military training. All walks in life were represented but every man in the encampment worked for the success of the C. lXI. T. C. The C. Xl. T. C. as seen in the eyes of leading business and professional men and all true red-blooded Americans, is one of the greatest things for the upbuilding of American youths that has ever been fostered by the United States Government. At these encamp- ments the youths of our nation are taught self-reliance, self-control,etc.,and lucky is he who has been designated to attend such an organization. Sallow faced youths, accustomed to irregular hours, improper food and too many cigarettes, who had allowed their shoulders to become rounded and drooped, were dis- charged at the close of the camp with full red cheeks and square shoulders. They left Jefferson Barracks with the full determination to lead better and cleaner lives and to keep themselves physically fit at all times. The Cadets, as they were called, were accorded the same treatment as West Pointersn and it was a proud lot of men who paraded around Jefferson Barracks wearing the uniform of Cncle Sam. True, the requirements were heavy and the Cadets were drilled many hard hours a day but they threw back their shoulders, gripped their rifles a little tighter and 'fcarried on as only true Americans can. It is a significant fact that the last four letters in the word HAnierz'can spell HI can. The spirit of America, this great and glorious country which is looked up to by all the world, was plainly evidenced by the Cadets during the encampment. Youths, who never before realized the meaning of the word responsibility, suddenly came face to face with the fact that they did play a tremendous part in conducting the work of our nation and these youths returned to their respective homes with a determination to cease their in- activities and take a major part in the upbuilding of their communities. The C. Xl. T. C. turns outl' leaders of men and it is estimated that since the first inauguration of this movement in IQZI, approximately 40,000 self-reliant men have been sent forth into the civilian ranks. The men left the encampments, clean limbed, strong minded and clear thinkers and the business or professional man of tomorrow will look back over his youthful days, remember with pleasure the ICIFSI C. KI. T. C. encampment which he attended and dutifully point with pride and remark, 'alt was there that I got my startf' limploy ers of ex- C. Xl. T. C. men say that these men make 'fstarn employees. This then, can only leax e one impression, that the C. Xl. T. C. encampments are essential to America. C. Xl. 'li. C. also stands for Clean Xfinded Thinking Citizens. Hut .Xsst-mbly is blowing. lt is the last day of the encampment. Wie are 'fstandingv retreat for the last time. Our riHes are brought to present arms and the faint strains of the Sta r Spangled Banner are heard. Our throats tighten. Our eyes become moist and xt e are given tu spells of coughing. The music suddenly ceases. The IQ22 C. Rl. T. C. ent ampmt-nt is over. We are discharged. With many backward glances we leave Jefferson liarrat-ks and though we are returning to civilian life our teachings will remain with us and ue .ire determined that Uld Cllory shall never touch the ground, but shall forever wave, UU r tht land mtl- the free and the home of the brave. f'f1tf,' 1. fy- ff'
