Our enemies are counting on every action of our
» izens in their calculations for prosecuting the war.
They will make a lot of propoganda out of the selfish
motive behind the smallest project. Can we afford to
carry on in the usual way ?

WAR WORK COMES FIRST
It may require an enemy raid on American soil to
awaken our people to the peril confronting us. Up to
present we have thought how horrible it has been for
the people caught in the rapidly spreading nets of the
Japanese, but that seems to be in a remote section of
the world, far removed from our shores—something
not likely to happen here. Inwardly we know there is
danger, the thought is ever present, but outwardly
we wish to make a show of carrying on as usual.
For the sake of morale, it is a good thing to carry
on as usual. To do so helps to subdue fear and avoid
panic. And business as usual is well enough so long as
it is directed toward carrying out the war effort.
There is a line of distinction to be drawn between that
which is an aid to the war effort and that which has
for its purpose selfish gain.
Astronomical figures talked of in promoting the
war effort have caused many of us to formulate ideas
of “getting ours” while the getting is good. Commun­
ities with pet projects have been disinclined to set
them aside for the duration, giving little thought to
the reconstruction era following the war. Pressure is
brought to bear on those in authority to spend avail­
able funds now when materials and labor both are
needed in war industries. Some of these projects
could wait until the United Nations have succeeded in
strangling the axis. By doing so, men and materials
would be released for war purposes and there would be
approved projects to take up some of the surplus labor
which is bound to follow closing of hostilities. To push
these projects now may mean delay in ending the war,
and, even farther, it might have an immediate bearing
upon the outcome.

This is the first Stars and
Stripes. The Continental Con­
gress on June 14, 1777, resolved:
“That the thirteen United States
be thirteen stripes, red and white;
* that the Union be thirteen stars,
white in a blue field, representing
a new constellation.” According
to legend the five-pointed stars
were designed by Mrs. Betsy Ross.
With the admission of Vermont
and Kentucky to the Union two
stars and two stripes were added
to the flag following an Act of
Congress in 1794. It was a flag
of 15 stars and 15 stripes over Ft.
McHenry that inspired Francis
Scott Key to write “The Star-
Spangled Banner.” Congress in
1818 restored the original number
of stripes.
