Our Own Second Front
In the front show windows of the Pacific Power &
Light company in Hermiston is the powerful evidence
of our second front. We see the portraits of the
cream of our young manhood, our boys gone to do
their job in the noble service of their country. Over
100 heroes taken from amongst us in this small com
munity of the United States represent that indomita
ble army of millions that is marching against the
forces of evil that seek to destroy the destiny of our
democratic nation. When we look into the faces of
the lads we know so well, a new resolve inspires us
who remain at home to do all we can that they shall
not fail.
We will buy more bonds, pay more taxes, make
more sacrifices, and give our all if necessary to hast
en the day of their return and the end of this terrific
warfare, that the world may once more live in peace,
and in the quiet pursuits of happiness and the honor
able achievements of civilization.
And in behalf of us who fight behind the lines, we
are contributing daily in a hundred ways that the
enemy shall not pass, and that the sacred institutions
of Christendom shall not be destroyed. We are liv
ing in tents, trailer houses, shacks and other crowded
spaces. We are denying ourselves of fuel, rubber
and foods. We are working on defense projects and
in fields and giving long hours and impaired health
and vigor.
We are giving up our usual ways of American life
without grumbling, cheerfully and determinedly that
we may hold the blessings of democracy and bring
back the usual order of our lives. It may be that we
have only begun to make the necessary sacrifices to
win the war, but come what may, our determination
not to let the boys down will grow stronger, and our
power to do more will grow greater. We have only
begun to fight.
