The spotlight of publicity on the issu ance of gas rationing cards should d o much to eliminate a great deal of plain and fancy chiseling. No one should be treated any different than any one else— the matter of defense and war activity be ing the determining factor if any person is to receive a greater amount of gasoline than another. This statement applies just as much to members of congress and oth er government representatives as well. However, the senators by an overwhelm ing majority turned down Senator Dow ney's resolution placing them “on their honor’ to not accept “X" gasoline ration ing cards unless actually required for of ficial business. All of which gives us some thing of a pain. An Ideal is 61 Today Sixty-one years ago today the people of Amer ica gave new birth to an old ideal They termed the American Red Cross and decreed that forevermore Mercy shall follow in the wake of war. that com passion shall never be denied Man Today fitting observance of that ideal will take place in many parts of the world. It will be observed as only so great an ideal can be observed—by deeds. Today the American Red Cross flag waves be low the Stars and Stripes wherever Americans fight for the defense of their freedom That flag is car ried by thousands of Americans who have striven through the years to establish the spirit of Mercy in the hearts of all men. Today those Red Cross men and women will be too busy on our distant battle fronts to celebrate the Red Cross birthday in cus tomary manner. Yet, their celebrations will net be lacking. Some where in the South Pacific a Red Cross nurse will sooth the feverish brow of a gallant American sol dier. She will work quietly, expertly in tending his every need. Somewhere on the broad seas a Red Cross work er accompanying troops to distant scenes of action will join in entertaining the men. lift their spirits, bring smiles to their lips. Somewhere a destitute family made homeless by the fury of sudden disaster, will be visited by a Red Cross representative and the sun will shine again because help and Mercy will accompany that visit. In an Army camp, a worried soldier will seek word from his desperately ill mother, and the Red Cross will find a way to speed him home to com fort her. A life will be saved by the use of blood plasma donated by America through the Red Cross to the fighting defenders of a wav of life. Yes, all this will happen today, and all this will happen tomorrow. But today it has a special mean ing in the hearts of true Americans and the thou- sands who today will come face to face with the Red Cross ideal. That is all the celebration the American Red Cross desires on its sixty-first birthday. mniiufacluri ■ i stockpile I I'Ml.fM M» 8 IHM) 04X1 tm t f- r th«- duration. rodili'I ion .nid ( elastic velous produc W Of course, if were available by retreading, cl limed rubbe 900,000 .in annual i. non uoo ono $4,000,000 000 The Voters Run True to By A.
