TO THE OAA’A
The new year already is stepping on heels of the
old and none of us, indeed, will regret the succession.
Few years could be less reassuring than the present
one which throughout has carried an undertone of war
and suffering, uneasiness and uncertainty.
That America has successfully avoided most of the
pitfalls of world conflict to date is apparent, but that
she can long hold off an ever-increasing participation
is doubtful. It even is doubtful if Americans are willing
to make the concessions which continued escape from
active participation will demand.
Yes, the closing year will be wished on its way with
little regret, for none could have held worse portend
for the world. The new year will be welcomed, outward
ly, with the usual noise and celebration but under
neath, somehow, there will be less of the light-hearted
abandon with which past twelvemonths have been
greeted. There is an awful alternative always remind
ing us. from over the horizon, that days of reckoning
are ahead.
Just as it is true that one’s personal course is
shaped largely by the individual’s courage and deter
mination is it also true that a nation's future is largely
molded by the same qualities. It is to be hoped that
Americans have the courage, the stalwart hearts to
face the new year and make of it a brighter page in
the world’s history. Surely the job can be done if we
have the will to do it.
Perhaps the year 1941 will offer us our greatest
opportunity to serve mankind. Let us pray we meet
the challenge.

PERSISTENTLY DO THEY CROP UP—OCR OWN
BREED OF WOULD-BE APPEASERS!
Senator Tydings of Maryland this week urged that
the United States explore possibilities of a negotiated |
peace between Germany, Italy and England. Though .
his words sound noble, his logic is one of appeasement.
Once a fight has been started, there must clearly
be a victor and a vanquished, else nothing has been
settled. Most notable proof of this conclusion is the
last World war, which ended on a “negotiated” basis
without the aggressor himself ever suffering invasion.
A negotiated peace, at this time, could be nothing
more than a backsliding by England and a triumph
for appeasement that argues it is better to have profits
than principles. War is a godless business and its suc
cessful prosecution—yes, even wars must be successful
once they are entered into—can come only from a fight
to the finish. One side must be beat till it has lost ap
petite for combat.
And Americans are praying that that side shall be
the one they feel is most responsible for the present
reign of slaughter—the totalitarian. In the name of
democracy and human welfare, as Americans possess
the ability to understand them, aggression must die
by its own weapons.
The day is here when Senator Tydings, nazi-med-
aled Lindbergh and all the other faint hearts can
greatest serve through silence. Appeasement has
wrought enough destruction throughout most of the
world. It is time for men to fight while there still is
something left to fight for, and while there still is
some hope of winning the fight.

WHY A PREARRANGED FUNERAL PLAN?
This is a rational plan to consider. Not only will it be
an act of great thoughtfulness to accompany the mem
ories of you as the years pass on but the expense is
limited to a known amount by yourself, who should
know better than any other how much ought to be used
for this purpose.
