Peacetime Demands Should
Be Met
If any of us thpught we could sit back and take
a long breathing spell when hostilities ceased we
vere indulging in; the popular pastime of kidding
ourselves, "flje war is over but tjie need for money,
or for the things it will buy is still great and we
will be called upon for many dollars that we might
otherwise use for more or less selfish purposes.
The Victory loan drive has ended and there are
to be no more intensive campaigns (at least that's
what we are told). Nevertheless the government
is keeping the books open for bond purchasers who
want to invest in government securities.
Currently there are two drives to claim atten
tion of the public, one for money, the other for
clothing. Both are worthy of support, both are hu
manitarian. The March of Dimes is one direct
means of raising funds to carry on the fight against
infantile paralysis. No more worthy cause chal
lenges us, for the dreaded polio is one of man's
bitterest enemies. The clothing drive is a result of
war, a war that robbed the people of Europe of the
means of feeding and clothing themselves. Ameri
can wardrobes are anything but normal, yet we
are living in luxury compared to. most Europeans.
So once more we are called upon to dig into our
reserves, if such we have, and send a bundle of
clothing to the collection center..
The calls for peacetime assistance will not. be
as demanding as in, time of war, yet we should, be
guided by a spirit of patriotism as great as, any ex
hibited in troublous times. If it is patriotism to do
and give in time of war that our way of life may be
preserved it is equally patriotic to give in peace
time that want and hunger may be averted.
It is the privilege of each and every one of us
to participate in these humanitarian activities and
none should overlook the opportunity to do his or
her share.
