Said one, “I've read about this kind of tree felling, but I've never seen it done before.” He watched mechanically. Another looked up at the half-tree which still clutched the sky with green fingers, then down at the unseasoned fuel already hacked into sections. h'rom Edwin Markham’s “Lincoln, the Man of the People" came the lines: “As when a lordly cedar, green with boughs, does down with a great shout upon the hills And leaves a lonesome place against the sky.” The stump will probably be blasted out a little later, Mr. Wright stated.

To most of us a nap after Thanksgiving din ner is as much a part of Thanksgiving as the turkey itself. And there’s no harm in that if we don’t stay asleep to the responsibilities that go with the good things we have to be thankful for . . . the good things we enjoy only because we are a free people. But too many of us go right on napping year after year. 45 million Americans failed to exercise their right to vote in the last presidential election! They were asleep to one of the most fundamental duties of free Americans. How many millions more of us are asleep to our other duties as citizens of a democ racy? How many of us are napping when we should get out to our Town Meetings and other civic government groups? How many millions of us pay union dues and don’t vote in union elections — own stock but throw away our proxies? How many of us dodge jury duty? These are our rights as free people! These are the rights we’d all hate to lose—yet so many of us do so little to help keep them. We must do more than giva thanks for the good things freedom gives us—on Thanks giving or any other day of the year. We must work to keep our freedom. We have a government “of the people”—and only the people themselves can make it work right! It takes 1 50 million full-time, wide-awake citizens to keep our democracy going — to keep it going strong! mi EVERY HOME should have this guide to the Rights and Duties of an American. Do you know your rights? Do you know the nine keys to good citizenship . . . the how and why of each?
