PEACE is more than the absence of war. Peace is a friendly
handclasp, small talk on a front porch, friends in for dinner.
Peace is a birthday party, a Christmas tree, an Easter service
in a white church. Peace is telling someone where the
Smiths live, laughing at a joke, asking a neighbor what you can
do when there's sickness in his house.
Peace is people helping instead of hurting one another, trusting
instead of suspecting, tolerating instead of hating.
Peace is forgetfulness of creed and color. It's meeting on equal
terms. It's honoring a man for what he is instead of defaming
him for what he isn't.
This is peace. And until we have all this, we won't have real
peace the feeling in our hearts that all is right once more.
Right now, we can make a good start towards this goal. For, right
now, in our local community campaign, we have the chance to
help our neighbor. To help him regardless of who he is or how
he worships. To act TOGETHER in mutual trust and confidence.
This is part of all we are fighting for. This is what YOU help to
bring about when you contribute to the local community chest.
Make your contribution today and make it as big as your heart!
TOMORROW! GIVE GENEROUSLY

F kj 'HE need of the National War Fund for finances is actually greater than ever
this year. There are vast troop movements over thousands of miles. Help
and entertainment must be carried farther than ever, and these men and
women need more than food, and a place to sleep, to enable them to withstand
the hardships, the loneliness, and the horrors of war.
The things they receive through the U. S. O., United Seamen's Service, and War
Prisoners' Aid, are things that help sustain them . . things that let them know
jhe people of this country are "in there with them." Things that tell them they do
not fight alone.
The need for aid in liberated countries is pressing ! ! ! acute. This is going to be a
fatal year for millions of men, women, and children ! ! ! if we do not help them.
We can't let them down now.
