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!
. Medford's own Community Chest means so
much to our own home front How well we
all know of the good work of the Salvation
Army, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Girls Com
munity Club, Jackson County Public Health
Association and the Recreational Committee.
Certainly, we cannot fail these time-tried
home organizations participating in funds for
this campaign. Their continued service in
this community depends upon YOUR gener
osity! . . .
MAKE ONE BIG CONTRIBUTION INSTEAD OF MANY SMALL ONES!
GIVE ONCE
