That is Decoration day. While we are struggling to maintain a civilization for the living, we do not forget our loved ones who lie peacefully on the hillside.

Today the parade and program are absent but the spirit of love and devotion is as strong as ever. We go quietly to the silent city, clean our family plots and decorate the graves and just as quietly steal away knowing full well that if those for whom this work of love is done could speak they would say "well done, thou good and faith ful servant." The time is not far distant when once again there will be a parade to the cemetery, with a program of eulogy, patriotic music and the sound ing of taps. There will be a younger generation to take over and while their manner may differ from their elders, the same urge to carry out the tradition of Decoration (or Memorial) day will be just as strong for they will have fought a bitter war to have the privilege of observing the day in the true American manner.

As the campaign of selling is a headache to the bond committee, so is the matter of selling publicity a worry to the news paper publishers. In other words, neither the selling of bonds nor the selling of publicity is a pleasant task one that would bje chosen in pref erence to a less important job. The trouble is that all of us are in this war up to our chins and have no alternative but to see it through, unless we deliberately lie down on the job. Each asd every one of us is expected to do his or her part and we all know that carrying on vith a war is not child's play. Instead of growing easier, each bond drive appears to be growing more difficult and the Fifth War Loan campaign 'ill require greater effort on the part of the bond committee and more persistent publicity than any reveal a number of outstanding functions of the department result ing from the war.
