“The time has come for every American to do his
part to perpetuate the freedom of the nation.”
That was the message broadcast to the citizens of
the Ninth Corps area by Jack H. Helms, acting region
al director of the Office of Civilian Defense, in urging
everyone to volunteer his services with local defense
councils.
Many Ashland citizens were quick to respond at the
very outset of the emergency and have put in many
hours of service since, but the local civil defense head
quarters indicate that many more are needed in all
departments. The need is particularly felt for more
volunteers for service as air raid observers. The scarc
ity of observers thus far has worked a hardship on
those who are giving so freely of their time—forcing
them in several instances to remain at their posts
many hours in stormy weather. With additional vol
unteers available, shorter periods of duty would be i
possible and there would be reserves to call upon when i
regular observers were unable to report.
We are in the midst of an all-out war. so let us put
put forth an all-out effort wherever our help is needed.

The Fight For Freedom!
The soldiers and the sailors who fight in this war
carry into battle a traditional freedom. They are not
the unthinking, “heiling” subjects of a dictator. They
are not slaves, living and dying like puppets at the
whim of a master. They have been reared in the freest
of all great nations, under the ideals which Lincoln
called, “The last, best hope of earth.” They know what
they are fighting for. They know how precious freedom
is. And they know the sorrowful truth that blood must
be shed if freedom is to be preserved.
Back of the fighting men of America will be a pro
duction machine unparalleled on earth.
Labor and
industry will not shirk the gigantic task that time and
circumstance have given it. The price of failure would
be the death of freedom. The days ahead will be hard
and bitter, but no one can doubt what the eventual end
will be—victory for freedom, for a way of life that re
spects the dignity of man.
• It is all there in one word—freedom. Freedom of
speech, freedom of press, freedom of worship, freedom
of enterprise. These are what we possess, and these
are what we are fighting to save and to perpetuate
forever.
