The item was thought worthy of reprint. What Did You Do Today For Freedom ? How often during the past months have we seen those words as we leafed through a magazine. And un derneath those blazing words lies a dead American soldier. It isn’t a pleasant page to look on so we don’t tarry long. We try to shut out the picture and close our ears to the ring ing words “What Did You Do Today For Freedom?” Stop and think: Did you absolutely have to take the car to the movies last night? Yes, it was cold, wasn't it? I’ll bet it was several degrees colder in Iceland, where your neighbor’s son was on sentry duty. Were you a bit mad at Uncle Sam because you had to stand hours in line at the ration board only to receive a book of stamps which cut down on your canned goods? It was inconvenient, wasn’t it, and you won't get your favorite fancy packed can of pineapple, will you? I wonder what the young fellow who used to work at the corner drugstore thought about when he and his buddies went down on Bataan and Corregidor be cause they had no food. I don’t think he denounced the U. S. government even then. Ration books, no nylon hose, no new furniture or cars, walking to work, no gum or candy, no trips, no fun hard, isn’t it? Eddie Ricken- baker thanked God for a mere bird once, a soldier in Buna prized a fox hole like a new Cadillac, a tough mar ine in Africa wanted only a letter from home. What did you do today for freedom? Did you buy a bond, donate your spare time to the U.S.O. to help the morale of the boy away from home, save your fats and grease, write a cheerful, newsy letter to someone in the service, start that course in First Aid or Home Nursing, stop that un- founded rumor you heard, keep your sense of humor and your American way of living? What did you do today for freedom? UMATILLA NEWS Ostrom The pinochle club honored Mrs. Oliver McNabb with a shower at Mrs. John Liedloff’s home last Wed nesday evening.
