Guard Bill Passes 

1f 943 got off to a good start with the 

II passage by unanimous vote of both 

the House and Senate of the new 

Guard Bill which authorizes the continuance 

of the State Guard in service. 

The fact that this bill passed by unan,imous 

vote indicates that legislators realize 

the gravity of the situation and 

appreciate the efforts of 0 u r Jpatriotic 

citizens who are contributing their time 

and efforts in building up a fine organization 

to protect our home State. It is 

earnestly hoped that this appreciation 

will extend still further and that monetary 

recognition will be given later in 

the session. Bearing in mind the splendid 

results obtained by our organization 

without financial aid, the Oregon State 

Guard should reach unheralded success 

in 1943, making it a banner year. 

C 

OME men are called soon to the 

o colors; others go later on. Some 

will remain at home to protect 

that homeland and to operate the machines 

that produce the arms without 

which the bravest men in the 

world would be as chaff before the 

-monster steel machines t h at wage 

war \today. Some are given great re 

sponsibility; others v e r y little. To 

In Appreciation 

THE Commanding General wishes 

to express his very deep appreciation 

for the patriotic cooperation 

of all the officers and enlisted men of 

the Oregon State G u a r d during the 

year just passed. 

May the N ew Year be one of added 

achievements for all of us so that in the 

end it may be sa i d the job was well 

done. 

* * * 

Do not let anyone convince you that 

this war is nearly over. We a re just 

entering the critical stage. The enemy 

is desperate. Anything can and may 

happen. Our only recourse is to be prepared 

for the worst and stay prepared 

to the limit of our ability. This we must 

do as liberty-loving citizens. 

each in the meflsure of his ability 

duty is assigned. 

But whatever is asked, of jndivid 

ual or corporation alike, it should be 

given fully witho p t stint or hesita 

tion. This is the payment eve r y 

American owes for, the privilege of 

living and being a citizen in this free, 

happy, and prosperous country.

T HE i nit i a 1 successes of the 

American and Allied Nations 

in North Africa gave rise to a 

series of rumors that the end of 

th€\ war is near, and the rapidity 

with which these rumors spread 

,over the entire country is an ndication 

of something sinister behind 

the loose talk. 

The end of the war is not near 

-so far as can be guessed by 

military experts - and any let 

down on the part of producers 

on' the home front is only givin)g 

aid and comfort to the enemy. 

Beware of the loose talker. A 

good way to shut up the rumor 

monger is to demand that their 

tall tales be put into writing and 

signed. -(The National Legionnaire)

TROOPER TOPICS 

Troop L, Lebanon 

We have just learned why Captain 

Swanson of Troop L, Lebanon, won the 

individual shooting honors in Portland 

last November. The true story has just 

been revealed and here it is: 

It seems that the Captain has been the 

meat provider on the annual hunting 

trips with his father and friends each 

Fall, never failing to get his deer. BUT 

-this last Fall our gallant Captain went 

with the same old party, and sporting 

a new telescope sight 'n everything and 

missed all the deer-even yet his deer 

tags are still attached to his 1942 hunting 

license. It also seems that some 

serious statements were nlade by other 

members of the party when they had 

to dividg up their kill with' the Captain. 

This got to be too much to take "lying 

down", so Captain Swanson did some 

serious target practice when he returned 

home-consequently, he ,vas in fine forn"1 

when the matches were held. 

Confidentially, it has been rnmored 

that the most serious of the remarks had 

to do with 1C01d age" and also an offer 

to purchase glasses for the Captain. 

Both Need Exercise 

Chiromino Golden, the beautiful Palomino 

stallion, owned by Major Robert 

Errion, finally got some exercise a fe,v 

weeks ago. Major Bob has been so busy 

that he is hardly on speaking terms with 

"Chiro" so Sgt, John Hood of Troop A 

came down to Oak Knoll Farm and rode 

the "beautiful brute"-and it looks like 

the next ride the stallion gets will be 

when Sgt. John comes do\vn again as 

Major Bob is still busy. Incidentally, 

the waist line of the maj or and the 

stallion are both increasing from this 

neglect of riding exercise. 

Anent Horsetrading 

Some very soiled remarks have been 

passed around 2nd Squadron Headquarters 

concerning a recent horse trade 

that your correspondent just completed 

in which he acquired a certain brown 

saddle mare by the name of "GyPSY." 

This is to serve notice that an old horse 

trader has to make a trade every so 

often just to keep in practice. CAVEAT

Mare Zags, Capt. Zigs 

Capt. F. Alan Wright is expendableor 

so he thought. A few weeks ago 

Capt. Wright made a social call on Troop 

L at Lebanon and joined in field maneuvers 

on Sunday. Part of the maneuvers 

consisted of jumping the mounts 

over rail fences-you kno\v, those fences 

that are made from split logs and that 

zig and zag all over the country. Well, 

Capt. Wright was getting along fine, 

zigging along over the fences, but while 

zigging over one the mare decided to

s\vearing in a number of new recruits 

in Troop E-that during the week of 

Dec. 24 he added four neW· members to 

the troop. 

Troop H, Sheridan 

The heartfelt sympathy of the entire 

troop, and of their many friends are 

extended to Lt. Bert Wepster and wife 

because of the loss of Lt. Wepster's father 

at sea. Commodore Wepster was 

enroute to New York, where he would 

have been permanently stationed as the 

American representative of the Holland 

merchant marine. His flagship was torpedoed 

enroute, and Commodore Wepster 

went down, as he had lived, in keeping 

with naval tradition, on the birdge 

of his ship. During World War I, he 

commanded a submarine, and in peace 

time devoted his talents, courage and 

fortitude to the building of hs country's 

great merchant marine. His life stands 

as a monument of staunch and heroic 

patriotism. 

Troop "H" schedule of training in .. 

cludes mounted drills Sunday morning 

at 10:00, and school of the soldier Tuesday 

evening at 8:00. Visitors are invited 

from other troops to meet with them, 

if they happen 'to be in ' Sheridan on 

drill dates. Hand grenade tests were 

held Dec. 20. 

The interest in marksmanship generated 

in Portland on Nov. 14 at the Rifle 

and Pistol marksmanship competition 

has carried on among the Troop H members. 

At a recent Tuesday night drill, 

a prize of $5.00 was offered by 1st Sgt. 

Otto Heider and Cpl. Laurence McKinley 

for any trooper who could put all 

five shots in the bullseye at 75 feet. 

Several troopers almost qualified, the 

best of whom was the leading marksman 

of the troop at Portland, Ernest 

Alexander, until Trooper Tom B a k e r 

came through with all five of his shots 

bunched in the center of the bullseye. 

Troop I, McMinnville 

The sincere sympathy of Troop I, and 

o all their friends are etxended to Capt. 

RIchard Donnelly and family for the loss 

of Capt. Donnelly's father Mr. Wm. B. 

Donnelly, an honored pioneer, 'whose 

life was an example of the courage and 

adherance to American ideals typical of 

those who have laid so well the foundations 

of America. 

First Lt. Bob Morrison is now a member 

of the Engineer's Corps of the U. S. 

army replacement center at Fort Bel- 

. 

voir, Va. 

Lt. Edwin Johnson has joined the naval 

construction corps, and expects to 

report for active duty after the first of 

the year. 

Sgt. George Johnson, who served as 

secretary-manager of the Farmers Cooperative 

Creamery, which generously furnished 

the splendid truck for the commissary 

for Troop I on the 1942 Fall Cavalry 

maneuvers, has accepted a promotion 

to the position of Comptroller of 

Davidson's Bakery in Portland. 

The best wishes of Troop I go with 

these former officers of the troop into 

'their ne\v fields of endeavorl We are 

sure their records will continue to reflect 

credit upon them in the service. 

Troop D, Dallas 

Capt. F. Alain Wright of Troop D, 

Dallas, announces the following promotions: 

2nd Lt. Kenneth Laudhal to 1st 

/Lt.; 1st Sgt. Clarence Grund, Sr., to 

2nd Lt; and Pit. Sgt. Leonard Hobson 

'to 1st Sgt. 

Troop D has inaugurated a non-com

school that meets every Friday night 

at the Armory in Dallas. It is conducted 

by Sgt. Leonard Hobson who served 

many years in the regular army. 

Troop D now has a fairlY good sized 

oank account as a result of the combined 

efforts of the entire troop in gathering 

scrap metal and rubber. They 

are ,also sponsoring a series of dances 

at the Armory which, it is hoped, will 

add mat"rially to the troop fund. 

Capt. Gardner, commander of Co. D, 

11th Bat. IIfl'. O. S. G. issued an invitation 

to Troop D and 2nd Squadron 

Headquarters to visit them on their drill 

night at Falls City. Many of the officers 

and. troopers attended and enjoyed the 

drill and the oyster feed that followed, 

and Capt. Wright showed moving pictures 

of both Troop H and Troop D 

drilling as well as movies of the combined 

Field Maneuvers held at Portland 

last September.

Heartening Progress Made 

In Bend Victory Corps 

At the start of the Victory Corps program 

I was asked by Major R. E. Burleigh 

to act as instructor for military 

drill. I stuck my neck out a long way 

and· to date have been supervising the 

drill for several weeks with the help 

of comrade guardsmen in the 13 end 

schoo. The program started on Monday, 

Nov. 23, 9 A. M. The frist period 

was something of a shock. Boys flocked 

in like swallows coming home for spring 

nesth'g. There were some fifty of them 

full of life and wanting to know what 

it was all about. My first reaction was 

to get away from there-quick. But, 

of course I didn't. This first period was 

passed as were five more during the 

day. At four o'clock I could hardly 

whisper. 

At first we had six classes of from 

40 to 60 boys each. We eliminated the 

eighth and ninth grades for reasons too 

numerous to mention, and now have 

four periods of 55 minutes each. 

. I am still amazed at how fast those 

boys are coming along. When you were 

in Bend you asked me to give you some 

idea oif our plan as it might be of help 

to others starting such a program. Instructions 

in the U. S. Army I.D.R. are 

brief and to the point. Most anyone can 

learn the commands. How to put it 

over to the boys so that it will stick is 

the question. After that first shock on 

Monday, Nov. 23, I and that old I.D.R. 

had some very close fellowship. I commanded 

and talked myself till my face 

was blue as the book. That is the first 

thing. The next thing is to gO on with 

the boys, step by step, explaining and 

pointing out. You have to make a kind 

of game of it, making the boys feel 

they are advancing step by step, toward 

a climax, which they are-learning proficiency 

in military drill to become a 

soldier in the regular army. 

The school superintendent is very 

pleased with our progress so far. The 

men I have with me ( Sgts. -Rovelstad, 

Brick, Standifer, Herbring, Henshew, 

CPl. La Blanc) are men who understand 

boys. It was my good fortune to be 

able to pick such men.

CO. A, 7th Bn., Portland, 

Drills in Portland Armory 

Following its organization in temporary 

quarters at G"ant high school, with 

weekly outdoor drill sessions through the 

summer' and early fall on the high school 

and Grant park grounds, Co. A, 7th Bn., 

commanded by Capt. J. P. Eckman, moved 

to new quarters at the Portland ar. 

mory in October. 

Winter weather conditions and early 

darkness made the move necessary and 

the personnel was happy to obtain the 

January, 1943 

new quarters, although various maneuvers 

and execution of problems ·,vere 

possible on the outdoor drill ground 

which cannot be attempted on the armory 

drill floor. 

Its strength reduced by men joining 

the armed services-the company's first 

conlmanding officer among them-and 

unable to attend drill because of night 

defense ,York, Co. A is instituting a vigorous 

drive for ne\v enlistments. During 

Decemoer a contest is being staged be 

tween the company's hVD platoons, with 

the platoon obtaining the most new enlistments 

scheduled to be treated at a 

feed provided by the losers. 

Co. A, 11th Bn., Dallas, 

Sponsors Series of Dances 

Co. A, 11th Bn., Oregon State Guard, 

of Dallas, has sponsored a series of 

dances, the last of which was held the 

night before Armistice day. They have 

been very well attended, and those present 

have enjoYed th opportunity to forget 

worry and war for a few hours. Edwards 

Crystal Gardens Orchestra of Salem 

provided the music. 

Losses to the companY through eclistments 

and induction into the armed forces 

are slightly more than the enlistments 

in the company. 

The following are recent. promotions : 

2nd Lt. A. A. May to 1st Lt.; 1st Sgt. 

A. J. Bennett to 2nd Lt.; Sgt. Wm. A. 

Boydston to 1st Sgt.; Corp. H. Helgerson 

to Sgt.; Pvt. C. A. Curry to · Sgt.; Pvt. 

L. F. Cook to CPl. ; Pvt. C. F. Hinds to 

Cpl. 

Co. A went to Rickreall, Nov. 9, for 

a lecture on chemical warfare given by 

Maj. Hyatt of O. S. G. hdqs. The lecture 

was presented for all companies of 

11th Battalion. Maj. Hyatt presented his 

first lecture before the companies in 

Dallas last summer.

CO. A, 17th Bn., Roseburg, 

Receives $33.05 Donation 

Co. A, 17th Bn., at Roseburg, recently 

received as a contribution to its !hess 

fund, the first recorded donation of 

money ever made to a state or national 

guard unit at Roseburg. The companY 

was presented with a check in the sum 

of $33.05 as a gift from 48 boys and girls 

attending the Green school, located five 

miles south of Roseburg. 

The pupils raised the money by collection 

and sale of scrap metal. At a student 

body meeting the pupils unanimously 

rejected a proposal made by one of 

the teachers that the money be used for 

a Christmas party, with ice cream and 

candy, in favor of a donation to some 

defense or service organization. After 

considering a list of organizations to 

which donations might be made, the 

students voted unanimously to aid the 

state guard company. 

The presentation was made by Mrs. 

George Hess and Mrs. Florence Pfaff, 

teachers at the two-room school. 

The teachers expressed themselves as 

being very proud of the spirit of their 

pupils, who have purchased $1,175 worth 

0.£ war savings bonds and stamps, exclusive 

of all adult purchases by teachers 

and other school district employees.

Piece of Shrapnel Taken 

From Guardsman's Leg 

A piece of German shrapnel, received 

at Vimy Ridge in France in 1916, was 

removed recently from the' right knee 

of William ManleY, Hillsboro florist who 

served with the Canadian forces in 

World War I. The bit of enemy shrapnel 

(Continued on page 5)

went in at the back of the knee . a '. 'd 

worked its way clear through untIl. Its 

removal was a simple operation. It was 

encased in a hard growth. . . 

Manley, then a corporal, got thIS pIece 

of shrapnel and others that sent him to 

a hospital for nine weeks when the . Canadians 

made their first attack on V,my 

Ridge in October, 1916. He says that'it 

has given 'him no trouble. 

Manley was among the first to become 

active in the Hillsboro Oregon State 

.Guard and is now serving as a cOJ/poral 

in Company A.

CO. A, 8th Bn., Dayton, 

Has Many In Service 

Dayton has had quit a change in ranks 

since summer. Many men are working 

in some defense jobs and are missing 

drills quite regularly. The service has 

caught others. From the original 90-odd, 

the company has been reduced to 62 

men and officers. 

Morris Kinnan, a high school lad who 

enlisted last May went into service in 

September. In a letter to one of his pals, 

he praised his state guard training highly. 

"Didn't have to take that basic training-they 

put me aboard ship, right off." 

Co A has men in almost every branch 

of t h e service: CpI. Harold Tompkins is 

at St. Petersburg, Fla., in the air corps, 

and is "going to town"; ElwYn Dorsey 

is in the seebees, on the Atlantic seaboardl 

all thank their training, saying 

that it's like the real stuff they are getting 

now. 

Two regular army sergeants have talked 

to Co. A. Both these men praised 

the company for the serious attitude 

taken in drills, and gave some pointers 

that will be remembered. Capt. P. B. 

Sweeney has given all his men the best 

training possible in the short drill periods. 

He has made contacts so that the 

men have learned about the Thompson 

sub-machine gun, ·about camouflage, and 

such. 

He has seen to it that the company is 

well-grounded in interior guard duty, 

scouting, patrols, and guerrila tactics. 

Realizing that the company isn't organized 

for a parade outfit, he has taken 

special care to make it a formidable 

combat unit. His old "Legionnaire assistants" 

have been IllDst cooperative. 

A few high school boys have been 

added to the rolls. One lad, Lester 

Bienz, is making the "old heads" look 

like rookies in manual of arms. An effort 

is being made to form a "high 

school platoon" to add to the company. 

Lieutenants John Shelburne and Frank 

Wright, with help of CpI. Louie Gross, 

high school agriculture instructor, are 

doing the best to convince the boys that 

they will get the best training possible. 

Their efforts are bearing fruit. 

Besides taking their drills seriously, 

Co. A cooperated with Dayton Legion 

post in the scrap metal drive. These two 

organizations have shipped out over 90 

tons to the smelters at San Francisco, 

for munitions. There still is a big pile 

left, to which more will be added this 

winter, and shipped out when cars are 

available. 

Co. A has changed the community attitude 

toward war by 'its work. Dayton 

has gained quit a reputation in the 

scrap metal drive, and is doing well in 

other war efforts. 

Co. A has made arrangements with 

the Dayton Legion post which has a 

I.-ree stock of .22 shells left over from 

turkey shoots of the past. There'll be 

some target practice one of these days.

CO. A, 15th Bn., Florence, 

Getting Extensive Drilling 

Co. B, 15th Bn." comprised of mem- 


bers sworn in from the western end 

of Lane county, with headquarters located 

in Florence, have put in six months 

of very faithful and etxensive drill, with 

Capt. Ken Spencer in comman?-, ably 

assisted by First Lieut. Daye Dler and 

Second Lieut. Ralph Hoberg. 

These officers have put the company 

through many hours of extended . order 

and side trips have been made w . 'th the 

non-coms to familiarize them WIth . the 

area to be defended. At each drIll a 

member gives a demonstration of cre 

of firearms, gas masks and other eqmpm;.t. 

raise a company fund a dance as 

given and the turnout of the commumty 

made it a fine success, both because of 

the wonderful spirit shown by the 

townspeople and the amount of money 

raised for the company-it being over 

$l 

centlY a banquet was given for the 

companY under the direction of Mess 

Sergeant "Red" Robinette. During the 

evening's festivities, CpI. Wayne More , 

acting as toastmaster, called on the OffIcers 

for short talks. Earl Hill, western 

Lane county defense coordinatr, gave 

the main address of the evemng. At 

the close of the banquet, Supply Sgt. 

Art Harris, put on a movie of the company, 

showing them in close order and 

etxended drill. 

Since our organization saveral of the 

boys have been called to active duty 

with the al'med forces. They write back 

to us telling how fortunate they had 

been in receiving the training at home 

through the State Guard, which enabled 

a few to be made sergeants almost 

at once.

desirable new recruits, and the return 

of several original members of Co. K 

£rolll forced absences occasioned by em .. 

ployment in vital seasonal industries, 

has given renewed impetus to the activities 

of the Salem unit of the State 

Guard. 

On Nov. 16 the entire eligible personnel 

of the local branch of the J. C. Penney 

Co., headed by Manager Loyal A. 

Warner, reported for drill, and there 

are already rumors afoot that the "old 

heads" will have plenty of competition 

from this new group. 

Immediately upon enlistment all new 

recruits are given intensive individual 

and squad instruction, then placed in 

regular squads as rapidly as they absorb 

sufficient training to fit smoothly 

into the Company program. Competitive 

interest is added to the regular 

sessions by an occasional "drill down," 

with the entire personnel participating. 

Latest grand champion of this hectic rivalry 

is Sgt. George 

' 

Ray of the first 

platoon. 

Recent Wednesday night meetings 

have been devoted to triangulation, or 

"dry", firing in the Armory, and several 

remarkably high SCOl'es have been 

fired over the 50-foot range. 

Official confirmation has bee n received 

of appointment of Cecil R. 

Manning of Salem, to be First Lieutenant 

and Norin O. Holman of Salem, to 

be Second Lieutenant. 0 the r recent 

promotions are as follows: from Corporal 

to Sergeant, Lloyd H. Arnold, Ove 

E. McCrary and George Ray; from Private 

to Corporal, Charles S. Coleman, 

Asahel H. Fish, Collett A. Rust and 

Ben G. Woelke. 

Returned from Seattle with the promise 

of really valuable assistance to 

Co. K in the technique of civilian defense 

is Ist Sgt. George Thomason. Sgt. 

Thomason spent 12 days in Seattle attending 

the War Department's Civilian 

Protective School, conducted under supervision 

of the Chemical Warfare Division. 

On completion of the 75-hour 

course at the University of Washington, 

Sgt. Thomason received his appointment 

as an official observor for civilian defense 

in Marion county. 

Palre Five 

Co. K. participated in the Salem A . rmistice 

Day parade and a very credItable 

showing was reported, regardlessand 

in spite of-a choice of not less than 

three marching cadences provided y 

various bands and drum corps. Umts 

of the regular army from Camp Adair, 

together with considerable mobile war 

machinery not previously see n here, 

made an impressive spectacle.

COS. A, B, Ontario, Enjoys 

Festive Gathering 

December 14 was a gala night for the 

members of Cos. A, B, and Headqaurters. 

Local CAP members were guests 

for the evening. The occasion was a 

turkey dinner at the Masonic Han. New 

recruits acted as K.P.'s and the older 

members sat down to heaping tables of 

turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes and 

gravY, beans, cranberry sauce, hot rolls 

and all the other, trimmings that gO to 

make up the proverbial Thanksgiving 

fe 

'X'i i er the feed, the members took off 

to the Bingo game, also sponsored by 

the local units of the Oregon State 

Guard. The affair had been well advertised 

and some four hundred people 

turned out to support the games. Turkeys 

and chickens were the prizes of .. 

fered to the public. The crowd thinned 

down at midnight but there were enough 

stayed on until 1 :30 A. M. to make the 

games profitable. 

After all the bills were paid, including 

those in connection with the dinner, 

hall rental, lights, etc. , the Companies 

divided $140.00 for their respective 

funds.

Co. D, 8th Bn., Newberg, 

Becoming Real Outfit 

Co. D, 8th Bn., at Newberg is surelY 

rounding into a fine looking outfit. 

Attendance has picked up now that 

seasonal work is over. A large number 

of the boys never miss a drill-they are 

the old reliables, they are interested and 

believe in their outfit-never too t¥ed 

or indifferent to be present. We have 

"ome lads that have attended but very 

fe\v drills, don't seem to care enough 

about the homes and loved ones of the 

boys that are over there or their own 

homes to train and be ready so that 

they can protect them if that time ever 

comes \vhen it will be necessary, and, 

who can say that it won't come? It 

seems that the old fire burns low in, 

their hearts. , 

However, Co. D is really getting som 

placej \ve have been working and studying 

hard, drilling all company forma-, 

tions, skirmishing, scouting, hand sig .. 

nals and rifle firing practice, also studying 

first aid, grenades and chemical 

war. Capt. Gower and Lt. Gibbs have 

bee n worikng hard on mobilization, 

schedules; these have been completed 

and the men have their packs and 

equipment ready, including a three-day 

field ration. This ration is very similar 

to Ration K of the regular army; the 

01' Sarge worked this ration out. CPI. 

Everest is our gunnery instructor; he 

surelY is full of fire-power and knows 

his guns. Pvt. Crocker is first-aid instructor-he 

is good and we know it. 

1st Sgt. Eggert is our grenade man, he 

was a scout in World War I, and is as 

much at home with a pocket full of 

grenades as the average fellOW with a 

pocket full of apples. Pvt. Duggan is 

one 'of those gassy guyS (yoU know, 

chemical war) and is a very fine in 

,structor. 

We are short, and have been for some 

time, one lieutenant-we lost our', 2nd 

Lt. to the army and he is now at Camp 

Tyson, Tenn. The 01' Sarge and Sgt.

Gen. R. P. Cowgill 

Gives Talk At 

Lions Club 

li T HE Minutemen of Today" 

was the subject of a very 

interesting talk given by Brigadier-General 

Ralph P. Cowgill 

to the members of the Portland 

Lions Club at a recent meeting. 

The plan of the State Guard 

was outlined in detail by the 

General, and based on one fundamental 

principle; to be able to 

handle any emergency w hie h 

mig h t arise within our state. 

Througout the entire activity of 

the Guard since its organization. 

by ex-Governor Sprague, there 

has not been the slightest interference 

of a political or religious 

r.ature, said the speaker, as he 

paid tribute to the cooperation 

afforded the movement by the 

leaders throughout the state. 

In the location of the various 

companies, attention has bee n 

paid to highways, and each is the 

backbone of a battalion organization. 

This enables the guard 

to swing into action within two 

hours in any part of our geographical 

limits. 

In case of invasion, the mission 

of our State Guard would be to 

block and hold roads, to keep 

traffic off of the roads and destroy 

parachutists. 0 u r- forces 

could also play an important part 

in preventing sabotage in all vital 

objectives in our com bat 

zone, until such time as we could 

be reinforced by federal troops. 

To accomplish t his objective 

the guardsmen are cheerfully 

giving much time to drill and 

maneuvers, and this training has 

off ere d much, especially to 

h i g h school students expecting 

soon to be called into the armed 

services. The patriotic response 

on the part of older ex-service 

men wa s commended by the 

G e n era I who concluded his 

s pee c h by recognizing several 

members of the Lion's Club who 

" were guardsmen in various units, 

including Ross Winkler, 1st Sergeant 

of E Comany, Ed Shea of 

the band and Cy Hawver of G 

Company.

confidentially, what is your definition

girl to something he knows he 

can't attend. 

-Positively, Your Co. Clerk. 

Dear Clerk: The boys in my

practice. What should I do? 

-Newberg Recruit. 

'Dear Roo k i e: Don't worry, 

you'll find out after while that 

the 01' Sarge doesn't know one 

tune from another either. He just 

looks at the time and guesses 

what call it is.

Dear Clerk: I'm very interested 

in athletics for my Company,

16 to 18 years of age. Already the new 

unit has 20 percent of full company

;ment of ,Agriculture states that our 

Cling year will be at least one-sixth

The supply of butter has suffered more thalJ, any other 

dairy product. This is because mar k e t milk demands 

tend to be fiiled first. Market milk brings a better return 

to the farmer and as a result a proportionally larger percentage 

of our milk supply is being consumed as fresh 

milk. 

HOW YOU CAN HELP IN THIS EMERGENCY 

It is upon you Oregon State Guardsmen that we depend 

for a large part of the moral leadership required in solving 

this vital shortage. Butter and cheese are essential war materials. 

Their concentrated nut l' it ion is vital to the 

health of all of us--our armed forces, our allies, our workers, 

and our "home folks." You Guardsmen with your 

understanding of the nation's wartime problems can do 

much to promote fair distribution of these scarce and vital 

supplies. 

(a) Don't buy more than your share. Conserve on 

butter and cheese. Remember these items are scarce 

and you may be taking part of the supply that should 

go to a man on the front. 

(b) Most grocers and producers are trying to be 

fair-to see that our war needs are supplied as well as 

our civilian demands. Cooperate with them. Don't ask 

for the impossible. Buy butter' and cheese sparingly 

and only as needed. 

(c) Remember that your eating habits will probably 

undergo a serious change. You will eat simpler 

foods, smaller portions, and enjoy less variety. The 

Department of Agriculture states that we will have to 

cut down on meat, cheese, butter, milk, and many varieties 

of canned goods. 

Let's prove that the citizens of Oregon are big enough 

and broad enough to share with our a I'm e d forces 

through voluntary and intelligent cooperation of all.

AMERICAN boy s, physically 

fit, of the late teen ages and 

verging on into the twenties, are 

faced wit h the almost certain 

prospect of immediate service'in 

the American arm e d forces. 

These are the lads upon whom 

we rely and who will stand with 

bared breasts on the battle lines, 

fighting-dying-for the preservation 

of our American civilization. 

These lads are our hope and 

our pride. They also form our 

bulwark of defense. 

Higher education and professional 

training for them will be 

halted until the war is over. Not 

until peace comes again-whether 

it be soon or late-will these 

boys be permitted to res u m e 

their class work and fit themselves, 

educationally and professionally, 

for their normal places 

in our American scheme of life 

and government. 'VVe honor our 

young lads and our young men 

for their patriotic devotion to our 

'f 1 a g and country, and )leplore 

the necessity t hat has thrown 

them in this unnatural environment. 

But Japanese boy s - young 

men of J a pan e s e parentage, 

though born in this country-are 

being permitted to leave the Jap_ 

aneSe relocation centers .and resume 

their studies in schools and 

colleges. These young men, it is 

true, even though of American 

birth are not charged with the 

obligation and responsibility of 

defending the country of their 

birth. American citizens fin d it 

hard to understand why, at this 

time, men who m the Government 

does not see fit to trust with 

rifles are permitted to pursue 

uninterruptedly their college and 

professional courses. Isn't that 

a discrimination against American 

boys of undoubted loyalty? 

Isn't it putting a high premium 

on'doubtful allegiance? 

ON GUA R D I 

To the internationalist, t hat 

thought will be waved aside as 

a narrow, natio12alistic point of 

view. But it is more than that. 

There is a rankling hurt in the 

bosom of good, honest, patriotic, 

loyal and devoted Americans 

when they see their sons come 

to the crossroads-their sons take 

the road that leads to war and 

the battlefields. The Japanese 

l;lOY takes the road that leads to 

college and, to use a trite phrase 

worn rather thin and threadbare, 

"the more abundant life." 

It would seem more of right 

and justice that these young Japanese, 

if they are recognized as 

American citizens, should be required 

to take their full burden 

of 12ational defense. If the authorities 

of government do not believe 

them fitted or loyal enough 

to be given a rifle and a place on 

the firing lines, then there is the 

alternative of a hoe and a place 

on the food production line. 

VV e must all serve-we must 

all sacrifice-we must a 1 1 pay. 

The war must be won. But color, 

race or national origins should 

not be made an excuse for any 

form of favoritism. 

According to figures gathered 

by the American Legion's National 

Americanism Commission 

approximately 113,000 Japanese 

have been moved from the VV est 

Coast war zone to ten relocation 

centers. Two each in California, 

Arizona and Arkansas, and one 

each in Idaho, VVyoming, Uta h 

and Colorado. It is estimated 

that of this total number about 

2,500 Japanese-American students 

are eligible to leave the concentration 

centers and, under authority 

of the VV a r Relocation 

Authority t h r 0 ugh a group 

known as the National Japanese 

American Student Relocation 

Council, attend any one of 259 

colleges and universities approv- 


ed by the VVar and Navy Departments. 

True, these ,students, so 

far as known, will not . go out at 

public expense. 

"They pay their own expenses 

of all types," writes an official 

of the VVar Relocation Authority. 

"I believe a few of them have 

earned scholarships offered by 

churches and other organizations, 

just as other college students are 

;helped. VVe do not have precise 

information on t his particular 

matter, and we are not directly 

concerned with it since no federal 

funds are involved." 

There is also the fact that all 

Japanese b 0 r n in the United 

States are considerd py Japan to 

be citizens of that country, even 

though our laws grant them !full 

citizenship by virtue of b i r t h 

here. Dual citizenship is a principle 

long opposed by all patriotic 

organizations. 

Certainly, there can be no real 

objection to the plan of extending 

the benefits of higher education 

to these Japanese-Americans 

on the same basis as granted 

oUlI, own boys. But it does seem 

highly improper to grant exemptions 

and special privileges to a 

certain class because of birth and 

race. That discrimination is both 

unfair and improper.

Sgt. of Co. K, Klamath 

Falls, Sends Theme Song 

Harold M. Sherman, 1st Sgt. Co. C, 

19th Bn., Klamath Falls sends in the 

following which he suggests as a theme 

song for the O.S.G. It is sung to the 

tune of "The Ranger Song," 

In all kinds of weather we'll all stick 

together, as one 

Esprit de corps, from shore to shore, 

forever more 

Yea; that's our motto 

We are the guardsmen 

Loyal states guardsmen, are we 

And \ve'll fight the foe, where'er we 

go 

For that is the code 

Of the Oregon State Guard.

CO. B, 7th Bn., Enjoys 

Gratifying Qrowth 

The rapidity. and perfection of growth 

that Co. B, 7th Bn., has enjoyed is due 

to the men who, as buck privates" so 

diligently serve their officers. Now that a 

ne,v year is well on its way, it is our wish 

that each and every one of the companies 

of the Oregon State Guard continue to 

function for not only a year, but for the 

duration. The writer is probably leading 

with his chin, \vhen he states that "I am 

prouder of our company than all the 

Test put together/' nevertheless, such is 

the truth. May I take this opportunity, 

on behalf of CO. E, to congratulate our 

Commanding General and his staff and 

wish for him and them continued success. 

--¢--- 

CO. C, 11th Bn., Rickreall, 

Celebrates New Year 

On the last drill night of the year, 

Co. C let down the bars and celebrated 

the New Year wtih a party. We had a 

short period of Manual of Arms. During 

this time, the Company Commander had 

the pleasure of turning .the Command 

over to Cpl. Arthur Dempsey of the 

U.S.A. Tank Destroyer Regiment, who 

had the good fortune to be home for 

a short leave. -Cpl. Arthur Dempsey is 

the second son of Private Harry Dempsey 

of Co. C. The Company Commander 

has an idea that Cpl. Dempsey enjoYed 

immensely the opportunity of "ordering 

his Dad around." He certainly put the 

company through ten minutes of snappy 

drill. Com e again Corporal. In the 

meantime we all wish you Godspeed and 

a safe return when the war is over and 

victory is won. 

After drill, the Company played games 

combining fun and phYsical training. 

The Company Commander was highly 

pleased with the agility and speed the 

men sho\ved. Geo. Carroll, one of our 

oldest menlbers, nearly 70 years of age 

and who never misses a drill, chased 

and was chased by others much younger. 

A Happy New Year, George-and many 

of them. George is a veteran of many 

battles of the Spanish and Philippine 

campaigns. 

After the fun was over, the Company 

officers treated the entire Company with 

sweet cider and doughnuts. 

In closing, the Officers and Men of 

Co. C, 11th Bn., of Rickreall, join in 

wishing our Commander Gen. Ralph P. 

Cowgill, his staff and all members of 

the entire O.S.G. a Happy and Prosperous 

New Year. 

Yours for victory!

ON GUAR D ! 



Under the able leadership of Captain 

T. Leland Brown, who was an artillery 

officer during the last war, the Company 

has gone through a year of intensive 

training, During summer months, when 

days were long, a thorough course of 

extended order training and patrolling 

and guard duty were taken up on the 

bills south of the city each drill night. 

The Company was on the rifle range 

three Sundays in June, using the outdoor 

range of The Dalles Rifle and JPistol 

Club. We still had our M 17 Rifles 

and had secured 2000 rounds of target 

amn1.unition. S 0 m e very satisfactory 

scores \vere made on the 200-yard range, 

and lunch was served after each shoot 

by Sergeant Martin Dolan, our mess sergeant. 

Another day outdoors was 'spent 

on the ra" ge practicing throwing hand 

grenades. For SOllle reason most of the 

men had sore arms next day. 

On Dec. 7th, Co. I attended in unl 

Torn1 the local Pearl Harbor observance 

held in the civic ' auditorium. 

0'1 Dec. 15th we observed our first 

anniversary with a banquet and program. 

Major Donald MacArthur repre 

"r .... ting General Co\vgill, gave a very 

interesting and instructive talk. One of 

the highlights of the affair was the recE'ipt 

of hvo boxes of fine cigars sent 

]:-y our 1st Lieut. Russell G. Kurtz, who 

is now working in the Portland office 

of the Iron Fireman Company. 

Among the enlisted personnel who 

have left the Company the past year, 

81)'< Are in the U. S. Navy and six in the 

U. S. Army and 35 are in defense work 

in Portland and elsewhere.

WITH fl'HE MEN ON GUARD 


In this small community of Creswell, 

the ready volunteer response has been 

most satisfactory, and the membership 

is steadily growing. 

Neat, trim and military in State Guard 

uniforms, meeting every Monday night 

'for stiff drill work, military instruction 

and lectures, bespeaks the interest and 

patriotism of our State Guard unit here. 

Our attendance holds a high (average, 

qf which We are justly proud. 

Grange halls play a maior part in our 

guard affairs. At first war alarm from 

Pearl Harbor, Creswell Grange offered 

its building for the use of the Red Cross, 

and here also is held our Civilian DefensE\ 

drill work, suppers, etc. 

The last event-a turkey dinner-served 

by the losing State Guard men in a 

membership contest, was a royal feed 

with all the trimmin'sl The losing side 

was supposed to cook and serve the 

dinner without feminine help, but after 

a muddled K. P. session in the Grange 

kitchen, they summoned help. The scorned 

ladies quickly and efficiently brought 

order out of chaos and the dinner was 

a; grand culinary success! 

Plans are being formulated for the 

raising of much needed funds for this 

unit. Several entertainments or plays 

are being considered. 

This s h 0 u 1 d be highly successful, 

since gas rationing has gone into I'lffect 

and community gatherings are becoming 

more pODular. 

They shall not pass, 

Nor touch our shores, 

Those murdering slant-eye fiends I 

For \vhile our lads are "over there" 

To polish off the rest, 

The State Guard Clan-our "Minute 

Men" 

Are putting forth their best. 

There's some have corns and rheumatiz- 

(At fifty you all know how 'tisl) 

But brawn and sinew stilI are young, 

And we gladly do our bit unsung. 

No ''Nip'' nor scowling Feurher's face 

Can scare, nor cast a spell. 

For every time they try-So sorry I 

We're ready to pitch, and give 'em 

-'ll!
