Editorial: Other Ways To Serve In A Draft World
The piece argues Congress will extend the draft for two more years despite the President's campaign talk of ending it. It urges clearer thinking on maintaining overseas garrisons, promotes international cooperation over militarism, and calls for more draft counseling and civilian service options. It condemns quiet local support and urges churches and schools to help youths understand their rights and alternatives to military service.

Pebe Sandoval recalls a three month ordeal in 1943 while visiting his birthplace in Mexico. He crossed into Mexico with his pregnant wife without passports and faced train derailments and harassment by border officials on the way back to the United States.

Nightmare Reentry Saga From Mexico To Garden City
In late 1943 Sandoval and Vidarri faced a long legal maze to reenter the United States after crossing into Juarez. They sought help from Garden City officials including Chief Lee Richardson and others, endured months of red tape, and even faced the threat of conscription. Mason, a U.S. border official, finally cut through the barriers, allowing their return to El Paso and eventual U.S. citizenship for Sandoval in February 1944.
