ADJUTANT GENERAL'S MESSAGE
Fellow Guardsmen: Each year prior to our annual summer encampment we
make an appeal to the employers asking that Guardsmen be granted leave to attend the fifteen-day summer encampment.
As the time for field tra.in.ing approaches, I am calling on all unit commanders to scree n those individuals who anticipate any problem securing leave from their employer. I feel this is a ver y important phase ot our Un.it Commander's responsibilities.
Again my office and staff will be available to assist in this all-important matter.

SAVANNAH, (AP) - Employees of the Central of Georgia railway who belong to the National Guard or organized reserves will have their military compensation supplemented to the amount of their regular wages on the railroad when they attend encampment maneuvers or training this year.
Central officers, in announcing the road's full support and cooperation to grant leaves, said a review of records indicates 72 employees who belong to either the National Guard or organized reserves will probably attend military encampment training this year.
This revised policy in respect to compensation does not affect paid vacations to which they may be entitled, Central officials stated.
Previously the Central has permitted Guardsmen and reserves to attend encampments on leaves of absence without pay.

His new assignment in the office of the assistant Chief of Staff, G-2, United States Army, reflects great credit upon himself, the City of Savannah, and the Georgia National Guard. We congratulate him ~nd wish him every success in this four-year tour of duty which will begin in May.

TAKING THE FEAR
OUT OF LIFE
"Be not afraid. I have overcome the world." "Perfect love casteth out fear." "Fear not."
Uncontrolled fear is the great sickness afflicting thousands of people. It has destroyed faith, vitiated ideals, dwarfted personality, weakened character, and in general has blasted meaningfulness and purpose in living.
Vc.rious kinds of fear are to be discovered. Fear of poverty, sickness, failure, responsibility, duty, of facing up to life, lonelinessthese are a few which have made beachheads upon the shores of our lives. They weigh very heavily upon us. Often because of these, people seek release through suicide, narcotics, alcoholic beverages. It is thus that life loses its radiance.
Christianity instills a way of life which will overcome fear. The Christian uses fear to build charac ter. Controlled fear is healthy. Through faith in God we are enabled to take the fears of life and utilize them for enriched growth.
President Eisenhower has inspired courage and confidence in our hearts. His trust in God is the pattern for the controlling of fear in our lives.
and was discharged from the Air National Guard on 2 March 1953.
Sergeant Hamilton was presented a piece of luggage by the Air Technical Detachment at an in formal gathering of all Air Technicians on his last day here.
Those of the ll6th Fighter Bomber Wing will greatly miss Sergeant Hamilton, but wish him the best of luck in his new employ ment.

YOUR STATUS WITH THE ARMED FORCES RES.
The following article from the LIAISON BULLETIN of the Department of the Army's Information Office gives a brief and clear description of the meaning of
the Armed Forces Reserve Act of 1952. it is reprinted
here in order to clarify the meaning of the act and its purpose. The National Guard, of course, is understood to be a reserve component of the Armed Forces of the United States. The information in this article is also valuable to unit commanders and P.I.O. 's in preparing speeches and news releases relative to the procurement of enlistments.
The Armed Forces Reserve Act of 1952 divides the Reserve Forces into the Ready and the Standby Reserve, and by so doing removes most of the past uncertainty and confusion surrounding Reserve service.
Under Public Law 51, passed by the 82nd Congress as an amendment to the Selective Service law of 1948, all men inducted, enlisted or appointed in the Armed Services inc'Ir an eight-year military service obligation. At present, this obligation is divided into two years of active military service and six years in the Reserves.
When a man is separated from the active service, he is placed in the Ready Reserve for such time as he has left of his obligation. He cannot reduce the total obligation, but the length of his active service determines the length of time he must remain in the Reserves. If the man has completed two years of active service when he is placed in the Ready Reserve, he has an obligation of six years in the Reserve. By joining a unit and participating actively in the Reserve Program, he may, after three years in the Ready Reserve, request transfer to the Standby Reserve to finish his final three years of Reserve service. In any event, five years of satisfactory service is required to make a man eligible for transfer to the Standby Reserve.
In the Ready Reserve, the reservist is subject to recall to active service in an emergency proclaimed by the President, similar to Korea. In the Standby Reserve, the reservist is subject to recall, within certain limitations set by law, only in an emergency declared by Congress, which, in the normal course of events, would be a declaration of war.
Before the passage of this act neither the reservist, his family, nor his employer could make reasonably certain plans for the future. The establishment of definite procedures and requirements for the transfer from the Ready Reserve to the Standby Reserve removes much of this past uncertainty and confusion.
In addition to placing the reservist definitely in a known position of vulnerability to recall in an emergency, the new law requires that such factors as personal hardships, family responsibilities and employment of importance to the national safety will be considered in determining the order in which Ready reservists, not members of organized units, will be called to service.
The Armed Forces Reserve Act greatly equalizes the burden of national service within the Reserve forces.
Those reservists who have done the most in the past will not be required to carry the major load in the future.
Those who have not contributed their share will be called to duty before those who have. Reservists, through their own efforts and because of the extent and nature of their previous service, can decrease their vulnerability to recall. l'vloreover, by covering all the Reserve units of all the Services, the Act makes uniform for the first time the rights and obligations of reservists no matter where they serve, and establishes a more equitable relationship between regulars and reservists than had existed heretofore.
A large, well-trained Reserve is essential to the long-term security of the United States. In the future this nation cannot depend upon resistance by allies to give us time to train large citizen forces after the emergency arises. Moreover, only the existence of a large, ready Reserve will permit a future reduction in the number of men under arms.
In Fiscal Year 1951, following the outbreak of aggression in Korea, more than 700,000 reservists of all forces, induding the National Guard, were recalled to active military service. Most of these veterans have now been returned to civil life, where their numbers are being swelled by the separation fr0m active service of those men inducted, enlisted or appointed under the Selective Service law of 1948 and Public Law 51, passed in July of 1951.
Under our present system of selective service, business and industry may well look forward to the time in the not too distant future when the great majority of employees will have a six-year Reserve obligation under Public Law 51.
Under these various laws, the Government is empowered to call any reservists to active duty for training for a period not to exceed fifteen days every year. It is under this provision that reservists serving in units are ordered mandatorily to summer field training. This type of mandatory field training can be extended to all men having a Reserve obligation. In addition, the Government is empowered to call out any reservist for not to exceed two years active service in an emergency declared by the President, whether the reservist is serving in a unit or not.
The Armed Forces Reserve Act of 1952 guarantees the reservist, his family and his employer that this Governmental power will not be abused, and also guarantees that the reservist, his family and his em ployer will be protected against his recall if he has served satisfactorily in the Heserve program and through his own efforts has earned transfer from the Heady Reserve to the Standby Heserve.
H the reservist has not participated satisfactorily m
the Reserve program he remains for the entire period of his six-year Heserve obligation vulnerable to recall in a Presidentially proclaimed emergency, and except for previous hardship, family responsibility and nature oi his employment, has no safeguards against recall.
