Good luck and success to the members
of the class of 1942.
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.
