PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1948. How Bi Is Your Heart ? There was the tall elm tree and the green lawn. There wu the big kind house and her laughing mother . . . and candlelight for her supper of bread and milk and fruit . . . and the wonderful event of her father coming home each evening. Then there came the black and terrible night when the Nazis swept in. Loud voices, trampling feet, rude jostling out into the street . . . sharp crack of rifles, and the great roar of flames burning down the house.. Now Signe is alone and starving Her mother and father . . . because they would not compromise, cooperate, collaborate . . because they would not come to terms with evil . . were stood before their own graves and shot. They died for the whole world of decent people, and Signe has become the ward of that world. We owe this child a debt. She must know the decency for which her parents died. Moreover, because of their sacrifice, and thousands like it in Holland, China, Russia, Greece, Norway, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and France, enemy bayonets are duller, enemy bullets, are fewer, enemy power is less to send against our fighting men. ' Because of the resistance the people of these tortured countries are maintaining and can continue to maintain with your help invasion will be easier. This month, we must' finance three vital jobs helping the people in unoccupied and, if possible, occupied countries maintaining the morale of our armed forces wherever they may be and relieving distress in our own community. Much is needed for this mighty task, and the need will be met if your heart is big when you write your check. .Remember, you make just one big contribution instead of many small ones. So add up everything you would be giving to all the separate agencies, and then double it! " The need is crucial so give, and give all you possibly can! .
