6 THE KNIGHT OF '42 While walking through' the woods one day, I met a caravan of knights. They stopped their steeds near where I was and prepared for a rest before they resumed their journey. I had a good chance for close examination of their leader. E . He was a his fellow with bright blue eyes that could LJ look right through you. He was courteous, as knights should be, tut how he could fight! His steed was big and strong, with power equal to that of several hundred or- dinary horses. The armor, unlike that of the knights of old, was of dull finish, but nowhere could one find a speck of rust. The spear which he carried ,could reach many times farther than one used by King Arthur. In- deed, Arthur never dreamed of a knight armed with a caravan For small arms he carried three machine guns which could well protect him. In his belt my knight carried, instead of a dagger, a .45 caliber automatic. He is indeed a tough customer. ' This knight does not concern himself with touring the countryside looking fore a chance to fight. Indeed, he knows that he has only to travel east and he will someday meet the enemy. He also knows that he must watch the heavens for the dreaded Stuka,and the land for the dreaded Artillery. However, with all these new difficul- ties, he has no fear, but guides his stced, a giant of thirty tons, with a sure hand. Well may the foe be frijhtened by our champion, who defends our freedom and our right to the pursuit of hap- piness. For he has no fear, and one Cay he will drive the foe hack to his line, as he roars to the attack in his thundering tank which spits fire. Tor he fights un- der the banner of the Stars and Stripes.
