PUBLIC SERIICE

. Behind our war effort is a vast organization known as "Our Government".

This government is composed of many federal agencies and officials reflecting

the policies of the President and Congress. These various agencies and indi-

viduals have important missions to accomplish which require widespread un-

derstanding and cooperation.

.. In a Democracy - even at war - there is a limit to the effectiveness of reg-

ulations. In most instances, public acceptance must be secured. To reach our

large population of 130,000,000, no medium is more effective than radio.

And radio, alert to its vital role in this part of the war effort, is generously

contributing its facilities,' its time, and its trained personnel to serve the gov-

ernment and our people.

OUR fighting forces throughout the world are linked to

Command Headquarters in Washington by a vast network of military communication. Messages are necessarily sent in code -- for in them are the secrets of our future military operations. Our system of radio stations in the

United States has been a reservoir which provided our Army and Navy with thousands of skilled specialists who

now maintain our important lines of military radio com- munication. Meanwhile, the services are training thou-

sands of additional men for radio duty on land, on the sea,

and in the air. Today, radio is the nerve system of our

military might, Crackling messages over the airways will carry the signal of the last great offensive and the

first news of the final defeat of our enemies.

A 111ILITAR1 MISSION

On April5, 1942, the United States Army started a new kind of military operation. For the first time in history, the War Department was di- rectly sponsoring and pro- ducing a radio program with a definite military objective --"The Army Hour". Since then, the official "Army Hour" has established itself as an integral part of the global fight of the United Nations against the Axis.

Through the "Army Hour", which is broadcast each Sun- day, America and the whole world is getting a weekly view of the progress of the war and how it is being fought. The program reaches to all parts of the globe to tell the story of the United Nations fight, with buck privates tell- ing their important role as prominently as the top-rank- ing military chiefs.

Two Australian fliers, Sgt. John Nor- man and Sgt. Hilton Greentree, told Army Hour listeners of their exper- iences in fighting the Japs in the Far East.

t .

When listeners heard the chatter of

machine guns, they were hearing live bullets fired by the gun crew in

this photo. Radio microphones en- abled the listener to hear also, the bullets striking the target.

From the West Point air training field, the Army Hour introduced J.

H. Weikert, Captain Donald Thur- mar and Cadet Vincente Lim.

Bill Stern, famous sports commen- tator, describes how it feels to look through a bomb sight and pull the release that will send bombs from U. S. planes to blast the enemy.

»

Behind the scenes in any Army Hour broadcast is Art Feldman, the man who gives the signals and makes the check-ups on as high as 25"switches" on a single program. He is in touch with each remote point, foreign or domestic, until each is off the air.

WAR INFORMATION

.

The first Filipino Battalion in the nited States Army staged a demon- tration for Army Hour listeners.

With news, roundtables, speeches, forums, special events and dramatic pro- grams, radio is keeping Americans the most inform- ed people in the world. To- day, more than ever before, Americans demand all the facts except those which will give aid and comfort to the enemy. From these truths come American unity and de- cision. Radio's task is to bring this information to our people as quickly and as clearly as possible.

"-011 THE air When they are not too busy learning the methods of

warfare, the Army, Navy and Marine Corps can pre- sent radio programs with a professional flavor, de- signed to entertain and inform the folks back home. Hundreds of radio entertainers, musicians, writers, announcers, production men and specialists are in

the service, and they welcome the opportunity to re- sume association with their former civilian pursuits. Meanwhile, radio listeners, they make it possible for friends and relatives to visit camps and training stations, without moving away from the loud -speaker. Through this medium, radio can claim special dis- tinction for building and maintaining our strong mor- .

KEEPIIG IN Wherever they are, in training or in action, U. S. fight- ing forces look to radio to maintain their association with "home" -- it may be the voice of a friend, word from the home town or news from the good, old U.S.A. It all serves the same purpose for the service men who have no intentions of losing contact with things that were familiar before the war interrupted their lives. Radio does this job, too.

The figures presented on this page show American women in the uniforms authorized for their various types of war work. Never before in the history of the country have women played such important parts on the war front and the home front and enlisted in such numbers as today. This wholesale vol- unteering for war work releases large numbers of men for the actual business of fighting.

Red Cross Can- teen Worker.

Every able-bodied citizen has a part in the national defense of the United States. Any attack upon this country must find each citizen assigned to his or her place, trained in the duties involved, and resolute to carry out those duties, regardless of the danger to be faced.

Thousands of United States communities have organized and trained efficient Civilian Defense units and have conducted tests, drills and exhibitions to determine that each cog in the vital machinery of wardens, police, firemen, nurses, etc., will be capable of meeting any emergency.

Only with the complete cooperation and support of those whom Civilian Defense is de- signed to serve and protect, can it operate smoothly and efficiently. You will recognize the Civilian Defense Workers by these insignia.

HOW TO DISPLAY AND RESPIi, THE FLAG OF THE

UNITED STATES OF A100

Or

1

1 --When flags of states or cities or pennants of societies are flown on the same halyard with the flag of the United States of America, the latter should always be at the peak. When flown from adjacent staffs the flag of the United States should be hoisted first and lowered last.

2 --When displayed with an- other flag against a wall from crossed staffs, the Flag of the United States should be on the right (the flag's own right), and its staff should be in front of the staff of the other flag.

3 --When used on a speaker's platform, whether indoors or out, the flag should never be reduced to the role of a mere decoration by being tied into knots or draped over the stand. For this purpose bunt- ing should be used. The flag, if displayed, should be either on a staff or secured to the wall or back curtain behind the speaker with the union to the flag's right.

4 --When flags of two or more nations are displayed together they should be flown from separate staffs of the same height and the flags should be of approximately equal size.

5 --When the flag is displayed in the body of the church, it should be from a staff placed in the position of honor at the congregation's right as they face the clergyman. The ser- vice flag, the state flag or other flags should be at the left of the congregation. If in the chancel br on the platform, the flag of the United States should be placed on the cler- gyman's right as he faces the congregation and the other flags at his left.

6 --When the flag is displayed

in a manner other than by be- ing flown from a staff, it should be displayed flat, whether indoors or out. When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag's own right, that is, to the observer's left.

7 --Whenever a number of flags of states or cities or pennants of societies are to be arranged in a group and displayed from staffs with the flag of the United States, the latter should be placed at the center of that group and on a staff slightly higher than any of the others.

8 --When the flag is displayed from a staff projecting hori- zontally or at an angle from the window sill, balcony or front of a building, the union of the flag should go to the peak of the staff (unless the flag is to be displayed at half- staff).

9 --Whenever the flag of the United States is carried in a procession in company with other flags, it should occupy a position in front of the cen- ter of the line of flags or on the right of the marching line.

Class,

REGULAR MAIL: Three cents on letters addressed through an Army Post Office num- ber.

PARCEL POST: Postage charged only from city of mailing to port of despatch in the United States. (Get exact cost from your lo- cal post office).

VItl! V0,1

Don't be discouraged by long delays in receiving re- plies to your letters to men in Uncle Sam's fighting forces. This is a World Wide War. The seas are wide and rough sailing. Regular mail travels in con- voys and there are many unpredictable factors that may unavoidably delay the delivery of mail to men overseas. Be patient.

Don't be discouraged by necessary military restric- tions. Write often to your servicemen; write long letters, but, remember, your letter may fall into enemy hands. Don't make it valuable reading for them.

The government considers your mail important- every ship that leaves this country carries mail.

The marines receive an assigned unit number and designation which he sends to the postmaster, either at New York or San Francisco, upon safe arrival overseas. The cards are then mailed to designated friends and relatives, who address mail according to the instructions on the cards.
