Social workers from every organization came to the homeless to offer shelter, but were surprised and pleased to find that due to Maine hospitality more than help the peo- ple had been offered places of shelter until they could find some place of their own. A reporter, from another state, who in reporting on the fire said about 'Maine hospitality, WI have read the many advertisements sent out yearly about the incomparable Maine hospitality. After viewing the fire areas in Maine I can assure you that the wonders of this hospit- ality have never been exaggerated. Certainly these words are echoed by all who had to de- pend on this hospitality for all their wants. And all of those who looked on know that good as well as misfortune came from the red horizons of that last week in October. Maine people in an emergency showed 'what they are made of', showed that 'Down East' is still synonymous with neighborli- ness.N -I!-Xf-?!-lf'-Y-'!H941'f-l?-3 5h?'-3?-7f-6 3'-44 3f'9? COMPULSCRY MILITARY TRAINING When Horld War II began, our army and navy were not trained. Iookihg back through all of American History we find that this nation has always been ill -prepared for war. An America without eyes will have another Pearl Harbor - this time not against a fleet at anchor but against a nat- ion asleep. Since the end of the war,there have been discusses many ways to keep America strong. At the present time the bill which seems most likely to become a law is the one which calls boys from eighteen to nineteen and one half years of age to the Armed Forces. When this bill becomes a law the largest group affected will be the graduating classes of 1948. Naturally most of us do not want to spend a whole year in the Army. Many of us wish to go to college or establish a business. Some boys may have a position waiting for them in some firm. This year in the army would ruin many of these opportunities. However the world situation today demands that our country seek protection through the help of some age group. If our representatives feel that we arc the group best fit- ted we stand ready to give back to America a little of what she has given us.
