Many of our citizens, rich and
poor, are making no little sacrifice
BY denying themselves that they
l'nN contribute time and money t.
the cause of the nation. We regret
to say that others wllo are abund-
ant y able TO give such aid arc
withholding it. TO say ut least,
such have failed to appreciate the
highest ideals OF citizenship and
are not worthy the best considera-

OF the government under whose pro

believe every citizen owes to his
country at this time in proportion
to his ability to render assistance
and those who fail to meet the OBJ

the standard of loyal citizenship
