KEEP SPIRIT ALIVE.
Vermont Public Safety Committee Ap
peals to War Organizations.

The federal government is relyingmore
and more upon the state councils of
defense or state committees of public
safety to conduct the war programs in
the several states, to maintain the mo-
rale of all citizens under the strain of
the war. To a large extent, this reh-
ance in this state is based upon the dis
trict committees, and this reliance has
proved justified exactly in proportion to
the efforts of the district committee or
ganization.
In this great international contest of
resources, 1t is the reaction of the indi
yidual that determines the results, and
on which in the last analysis hangs the
fate of the world. In our system, it is
the district committee that reaches the
individual and by translating the mes
sage of the federal government into
prompt and thorough action, makes our
national resources the determining fac
tor for victory,
The various federal departments and
war administrations turn TO us to enlist
the district committees in specific war
tasks. Their appeal is most often based
upon the service which the district com.
mittee alone can render. In order that
we may consistently assure them of this
service and ask them to utilize it instead
of creating new organizations Of their
own, we must ourselves be assured that
each district committee is promoting
throughout it's territory an organization
which will ultimately reach the most
remote citizen and make him part Of
the system.
The whole community must be aroused
and nodded into war organization.
In sense your work must never be
completed. You are dealing with an ele-
ment that needs constant attention In
order that the mobilization of the ma
ton for the war may be rapidly and
effectively accomplished, and in order
that the committee of public safety
system may become the backbone of our
modified nation, each district committee
is urged to make its organization 100
per cent efficient in the number Of citi-
zens reached.
Do not stop your first drive until you
can honestly report that this has been
accomplished. You have the responsible.
ity of keeping the people interested, Of
preventing a relapse into inertia after
the first excitement of organizing, by
telling them the results Of efficient com
munity work on big scale, by setting
new tasks, and citing the achievements
Of other local councils. Endeavor to keep
your organization at to put over every
war activity that you may ask or that
the nation may require, and by keeping
them fit, maintain the war morale of the
country.
