PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, the War Department
has announced the necessity of in
tense drive being made immediate
ly to secure the voluntary enlist
ment into the military service of
ages of eighteen and nineteen
the United States of men of the
years, and
WHEREAS, the immediate serv
ices of an unlimited number of
men of the ages of 18 and 19 years
are essential to the proper and suc
cessful prosecution of the war by
the United States:
NOW, THEREFORE, I, H. M.
Woods, mayor of the city of Sum
merville, Ga., do hereby designate
and proclaim week beginning Oct.
26th as “Army Week” and declare
an immediate and existing neces
sity tha tall able-bodied men of
the ages of 18 and 19 years enter
into the military service of the
United States; and I hereby call
upon all able-bodied men of the
ages of 18 and 19 years in the city
of Summerville, Ga., to voluntarily
enlist in the military service of the
United States.
I further call upon all organiza
tions and all individuals to co-op
erate by lending every effort pos
sible to promote interest in and to
encourage the enlistment of men
of the ages of 18 and 19 years into
the military service of the United
States.
At Summerville, Ga., this 26th
day of Oct., A. D., 1942.
H. M. WOODS.
Mayor
18 AND 19 YEAR OLD YOUTHS
URGED TO JOIN ARMED FORCES
Dear Fellow Citizens of America:
Your help is needed again in a
patriotic drive.
The Job: To win the WAR.
The Need, NOW: Enlistment of
young men, age 18 and 19.
You will recall that in his fire
side chat, our commander-in-chief,
President Roosevelt, stated that to
win the war—and to speed up the
winning of the war—it would be
necessary to lower the draft age to
18 years.
Meantime the armed services—
army, navy and marine corps—
are open to voluntary enlistment
of these young men.
It is a fact that these young men
have a choice no other man of mili
tary age is granted: choice of the
branch of service. The volunteer
age 18 or 19 may select any one of
the thirteen services which appeals
to him as the place where his par
ticular abilities will permit him to
serve best. This will be the policy
until such time as the selective
service act is amended and is just
another reason why NOW is the
best time for these young men to
enroll.
Another more cogent reason is
the urgent need for these young
men in the armed services. They
will perform a patriotic duty to
their nation and their fellow man
by acting now. There are many
advantages to the young man who
enlists early in the armed forces
in addition to the privilege of se
lecting the branch in which he
will serve.
You may ask where you can help
in this drive to enlist these young
men. Your job is this: To get
the message to these young men
and their parents who must con
sent to the enlistment before we
may accept them. There are many
young men out of high school, who
have not entered college, and who
jean be reached only through the
1 combined efforts of such people as
you, an individual; the civic clubs
and other organizations which have
not lost touch with the men of this
age group.
While older men are needed in
the military establishment and
contribute equally valuable serv
ices, it remains a fact now, as al
ways in history, that wars must be
fought on the battle front largely
by the young men.
Young men are mentally alert
and physically quick. They are
strong of body, courageous, curious
adventurous and lovers of freedom.
They plunge into the tasks before
them on instant reaction.
Older men have developed skills
through their special training in
earning a livelihood that are not
yet possessed by the younger men.
These skills must be directed to the
best service to the nation, whether
that be a factory or the battle
front.
You may be assured, also, that
the spiritual welfare of these young
men will be looked after in the
army, navy and marine corps,
through the services of the chap
lains. Nothing in the chaplains’
service is to be curtailed in any re
spect, despite the fact we are fight
ing a grim war. This is a fight as
much for religious freedom as it is
for the survival of our nation. The
record of our enemies in their deal
ings with churchmen is proof
enough of that. Our most tireless
officers are the chaplains who work I
without regard for hours or res .
with the sole objective of serving
our men as needed.
