Back Of the Men Behind the Guns

Our success in this war depends
as much on what we civilians do
as upon the army and Navy.
The industerial and commercial
activities OF the nation must be
intensified. not only that we may
support our forces and the forces OF
our Allies; not only that we may
help to feed the world; but also to
maintain our national prosperity
and well-be-ing.
= The big thing for every American
to do now is to equip himself for
the greatest efficiency for maximum
production this year and in the
years to come.
Trained men trained women
trained minds trained hands-the
cry Of the world Is sounding for
them. Men who can work efficient
ly: men who can direct work; men
who can get results everywhere
they are wanted, everywhere the
need for them shows.
What can you do?
What part can you play in the
Drama Of the Ages?
What can you contribute toward
the triumph Of the flag?
