The first Armistice Day was born in peace. It marked the end of a war which was to usher in n new era of world wide peace and plenty, Instead, the world today is plunged into a war bloodier, more ruthless, more terrifying than in all history. Our country lies in the middle of thiH war — not only geographically—but because she represents, in a very real sense, what this war is all about. For here in America a people has been welded out of u unique common denominator. Not a common backgrund, or religion, or culture, for there is none among us; but rather a common faith in a democracy that workH—a common belief in the dignity and integrity of the individual. That faith is being attacked by the Nazis. It is being defended, not only by Americans, but by all who enjoy freedom now or who aspire to it. Yesterday—Armistice Day, 1942 we paid simple tribute to those who died in 1917 and 1918. The 90,000 men who gave up their lives in action, the hundreds of thousands who were wounded. Was their suffering and their sacrifice in vain? America's answer must be clear and resounding. For year«, most Americans have been cynical about th*- hypocrisy we read into our determination in the last war to “make the world safe for democracy" .... to win “the war to end ull wars." We have somehow assumed that we were sold out, that the ideas of twenty-four years ago were impractical and unreal. In so doing we have completely*overlooked the blatant fact that the world was not made safe for democracy Is'cause we did not make it so. We helped win that last war, and, having won it, we put away our weapons and came home to forget about it. We did not learn th«* lesson which the Axis powers have now burned into us with incendiary bombs and torpedoes and traitorous attacks on a flag of truce. We refused to realize that America is part of the world. We would not accept the fact that never can we isolate ourselves from all the other peoples who ride this planet alongside us. These were our errors. We have the chance now to correct the«*' errors. We must pay tribute to the men who made the final sacrifice the last time, not in mere words, but in bhiod and sweat. A quarter of a century ago those men died lighting for Freedom of thought, Freedom of conscience, Freedom from want and Freedom from fear. And It Is those very Freedom« we ure fighting for today. We must dedicate ourselves to those who fell by dedicating ourselves to those who will conic after us. And we shall Is* able to do this only by aciepting without question America's ies|Minsibilitie.s in today's war and in the peace that will follow. j As nights get longer, days get occasionally grayer, traffic hazards increase on a post as busy as Camp Adair. Greater caution on the part of motorists and pedestrians is now necessary. Motorists are reminded that there is a post speed regulation of 20 miles per hour. This will be strictly enforced. The military police are now equipped with motorcycles fol' patrol and every driver exceeding this necessary speed limit will be i apprehended. Great care must be exercised by drivers at all intersections, and when passing troops. Because there are few pedestrian walks, the streets must be used hy persons on foot as well as vehicles. It should >»e kept in mind at all times that the olive drab color is hard to see at night and pedestrians are thus in greater danger. Persons on foot should walk on the left side of the road, so that they can observe oncoming cars and trucks. When walking in a group, except when in military formation, it is better to walk in file rather than abreast. Cars should have lights inspected regularly, and brakes should be in good repair at all times. Wind shield wipers should be in working order. Lights should always he dimmer when meeting other cars. This post is set up for efficient training of fighting men. Any ac cident, traffic or otherwise, hinders that efficiency. If motorists and pedestrians observe safety regula tions and rules, and use good com mon sense at al) times, the acci dents will be held to a minimum and a better job of turning out fighting men will be accomplished. the attitude of our most enlightened ( atholic Mas textbook, ‘‘Science and Health with public opinion today.
