    Do You Know a Rumor—
m
when you hear one ■
During the war we knew enough to mistrust ru
mors and particularly knew how dangerous it was
to spread them. We knew then that rumors affected
our unity, and unity was vital to winning the war.
But perhaps we don’t know that rumors are just
as dangerous today as they were during the war.
Because — rumors about other groups, other re
ligions and other races always threaten our
national unity—without which we cannot hope to
survive.
Be an active citizen — help kefep your country
strong, united and secure—a good place in which
men can live together, prosper together and pursue
happiness together.
Make sure that you are not spreading rumors
r against a race or religion. Spt \ up, wherever you
are, against prejudice, and work for better under
standing. Remember that’s being a good American.
Accept or reject people
on their individual worth
