James Crawford McGehee, the fly ing training air force said Wednes day. (Continued from Page 2) sian division is smaller than the U.S. division. And the Russians designate as divisions a lot of units which in this country are not or ganized along division lines. The average U.S. infantry divi sion at war strength contains 18,000 men, campared to the pres ent Russian average of 8,800. Our forces are backed up in the com bat zone, moreover, by fighting men who are even more numerous than the men in the divisions — combat troops in the artillery, ar mored forces, reconnaissance, engi neers, signal communications, etc. In many small theaters of war no divisions are used—just regimental combat teams or special purpose forces. One high-ranking Army expert on personnel says the Army has about 65,000 men for one division of 18,000 men. To explain where the extra 47,000 men are stationed he sets up the idea of a division “slice” of the Army. To picture the division “slice” he assumes the division is in combat 1,500 miles from U.S. shores. Many of the men in the “slice” have nothing to do with a divi sion. The “slice” is just an ac count of the number of men who are assigned to various duties when a division is in combat 1,500 miles from U.S. shores. First are the 18,000 men in the division. There are 23,000 more who would be combat troops in artillery, armor, signals etc., not assigned to any division. That means 64 per cent of the total ‘slice” would be in combat. Not in combat would be 7,150 troops in communication work or 11 per cent of the total “slice”. They man port facilities on the foreign shore, store and deliver .supplies over there, keep highway transport and railroads going, run hospitals, maintain telegraph, tel ephone, radio, etc. In the United States would be the remaining 25 per cent of the “slice” — 16,250 men. Of these, 13,000 or 20 per cent would be in training, including transients—men shipping out and coming back. Sick and wounded in hospitals would number about 1,950, or 3 per cent. And 1,300, or 2 per cent would be engaged in administrative wo;rk> research, supply, home port facili ties, etc. Today & Friday sp# M-G-M’s BIG 1 i SOUTH SEAS MUSICAL Esther IViumms SQftG ItC If • ** Y. viWCOiQK- GUION HALL CLOSES SATURDAY FOR THE SUMMER Will Re-open in September Be Sure To Attend Church Sunday!

But to many more they recall happy days in the old country schoolhouse. Literally, they mean fostering mother. And that’s what a school becomes, a third parent, preparing her children for life. But all of us need to realize still another “fostering” parent, The Church—the earthly tutor who reveals to men the love of the Heavenly Father. We never graduate from the Church! Some times we play hookey for a while. But sooner or later most of us discover that there is no substitute for the spiritual “upbringing” the Church provides. And that discovery is the most thrilling commencement in life, for with it begins man’s achievement of the highest goals in living. THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . . ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest /ac tor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization c an survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and sup port the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sak.e of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and ma terial support, Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily. Book Chapter Verses Sunday...
