Boxer Jack Dempsey Takes Joins NY State Guard

The transcript discusses two main topics: Jack Dempsey's new role as a first Lieutenant in the New York State Guard, which he considers a rare privilege, and the efforts of Navajo Indians to collect scrap metal on their reservation. The Navajos are selling the metal to buy defense bonds, contributing to the war effort by supporting the 'great White Father in Washington.' This initiative reflects a blend of traditional customs and modern procedures, as they balance the metal against the squaws and purchase stamps and bonds to combat the Axis powers.
