Founding Fodders
Last week six Dallas men, who had registered for the draft, sat down to talk things over. They came to a solemn conclusion: "In no other field has safety engineering been as much neglected as in warfare." To rectify this situation, they organized on the spot the Honorable Order of Cannon Fodder, Ltd. Motto: "Peace, it's wonderful." Attorney Douglas E. Bergman issued a nationwide invitation to all registrants to join, imposed two conditions : 1) they must favor the draft; 2) they must have no political aspirations, since he has already had himself elected national president.
The six original members' (Dallas' Tank Sausage Local No. 1) campaign: blunt points on bayonets, better enforcement of antinoise and assault ordinances on the battlefield, rear-view mirrors and road flares for tank equipment, creation of king's-X areas on battlefields for tired soldiers. Title assumed by Bergman and friends: Founding Fodders.
