It has WOOD RIVER Why Would the author of the adventure strip "Don Wlnslow of the Navy," who Is now a national figure and assistant vice president of the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana, leave his family In Chicago and take time from his business duties to address a club like the Wood River Rotary? According to Frank V. Martinek, who has distinguished himself as a cartoonist and an authority on detection and prevention of gasoline tax Invasion, It is to tell Individuals what they can do to save our freedom. "As I see It, you can do two things," Martinek said: "Nourish our freedom In your hearts as you would life Itself," and "When any group urges you to give up any part of your freedom, be sure that you know what you are do- Ing and "With freedom," he said, "we can achieve wonders as much unknown to us today as our commonplace magic of today was unknown a few generations ago." Martinek reminded Rotarians, "Our freedom is priceless." He said, "It Is the foundation of our progress.

Without it, we can expect a thunderous historical crash that would pale thr; fall of the Roman Empire by comparison, "We have enemies outside and Inside our country who seek to end our way of life. They use (he very freedom of our democracy to work against it. "In times of great peril, we must sometimes mortgage some part of our liberties, but as free Americans, we must always hold the title, and we must work to restore it free and clear. We must stipulate always that our government shall continue to exist, in the spirit of Us founding, with 'the consent of the governed'." He gave his life story as an explanation of "democracy," telling how he rose from humble circumstances to become the cartoonist he aspired to be. His adventure strip, "Don Winslow of the Navy," nas been a hundreds of been used for radio programs and motion pictures and is today on television.

Martinek became a copy boy on the old Chicago Record Herald, At 19, he was a finger print expert with the Chicago Police Department, and author of a book on the subject. In the first World War, he became intelligence officer of the Navy's Asiatic fleet, later sen-ing several years as a special agent with the FBI. In the second World War, he provided much of the thinking and planning by which the oil plants of the country were guarded against sabotage. He joined the Standard Oil Co. in 1925, advancing to assistant vice president, handling security procedures.

Monday noon, he stressed the Importance of civilian defense of freedom inside our country- He told Rotarians, "If we Americans lose our fredom, it will by consent of the governed. We can consent to losing liberties at a little at a time until we have lost the right to say yes or no." Martinek believes that even more dangerous than the communists are the many thousands In both our major parties who are socialists at heart. "They believe in government control of our lives. They believe that a handful of men In Washington could plan and order and direct all we do with greater benefit to all, than we can attain by the free thinking and acting millions of good sound American citizens. "Our battle for freedom is a battle against encroachment by government upon our private domain.

It is a battle to prevent any more liberties from being taken from us and to get back those that we have yielded in the Interest of unity against an external foe. We can lose the battle against the foe by losing our liberties, or giving them up too far at home." Martinek wai a guest of Dr. Fred Ordeman, manager of the Wood River refinery of the Stan dard Oil Co. His representative, Mr. Sherwood of Kansas City, was a guest of Ray Koch of the company.

Smith describes the program as a cooperative relationship worked out with the high school and the University of Illinois and approved by the District 144 board of education.

He said, "It's marvelous that the fellows can get out one month of six weeks and experience teaching away from the institution where they are trained and their home." Until this year, the program of practice teaching at Illinois was to have the candidate spend several hours a day teaching in schools on the university campus. The two seniors in Wood River represent almost 30 other teachers who have been placed in 15 or 20 schools throughout the state.

Their training began Monday. The training one-the-job in Wood River follows six weeks of regular classroom work at the university. The men will be rated on their work here. They are to carry a fujl teacher load and after they become orientated, will take over classes, attend regular staff meeting and supervise study halls.
